Take me out to the ballgame.....

Once again we have been teased by the weather. We had a few really nice days that just gets you hungery for summer and then the wind starts blowing and cools everything off again. However we took full advantage of the few days we got that were really nice.

If you don't already know Kyler is 100% BOY!!! He loves balls and bugs and teasing and climbing etc. But He really loves going to games, any game he doesn't care as long as it involves a ball. All winter everytime we passed the football stadium he would tell us about the last time we went there and got a hotdog and watched football, and then he would get it in his head that he wanted to go watch a game RIGHT NOW(and he is a very stubborn little boy)! So we went to few basketball games and that seemed to sufice the desire for a while.

As the day of Bryn's party was getting closer and closer she was getting more and more worried about what the boys were going to be doing! She needed to be sure that they had something to do so they would not be at the princess party. So I got online to see if I could find something for them to do and the Salt Lake Bees had their first home game that night. I immediatly bought tickets. This made Bryn very happy to know that not only did we have an idea, but actual tickets(that makes things more for sure) and it made Kyler happy to know he was going to a game. And he loved it! He wanted to know everything about what was going on. Erick had to explain it all, when a batter would srike out he wanted to know, "where that man going?" Anyway they had such a great time, that we decided as long as the weather was so nice we were going to go again. This time we all went. It was so much fun.
Right in the middle of the game, Erick decided to take the kids out to walk around for a minute and get some popcorn. Right after they left, a fly ball came right back at us, and I caught it. The funny thing is, that was all Erick had wanted for two days, was to catch a fly ball and as soon as he left I caught one:) Either way Kyler was happy! And we all had a good time at the game and enjoyed the really nice weather!

THE BIG PARTY

We had so much fun on Friday and Saturday (the 11th and 12th)!

All the girls got here at 3:00 and wow that was hard to wait the hour and half from after school until the party, but we made it! After everyone got here, the girls all played for a while, then it was time to go. Our first stop was McDonalds! Imagine me in McDonalds with five little girls all close to the same age. Yea, I got some FUN looks!!!


The next stop was Sweet and Sassy! And boy were we excited. The problem was, right when you walk in the door, they have TONS of girl stuff everywhere. And with 5 little shoppers it was hard to actually get the party started. So I told them we would shop after!

First stop was the dressing room. They let the girls pick out whatever dress up they wanted to wear.

After They had their dresses, they got dressed in them and headed to the "salon" where the girls got their hair done, nails painted, make up on, and a beautiful star on thier cheeks!




Next it was on to the BIG STAGE! where they were each crowned a princess and taught how to be a princess. They showed them how to bow, turn, wave and use thier wands! They also did a big round of the Hokey Pokey which was a huge hit!

After all the princess stuff was done, we went back to the dressing room to change and then head to the "cake room"! While we were in the changing room all five girls kept saying, "aunt Leslie, can we please come here again?" It was so cute. They all had so much fun they wanted to come again, and of course I promised them I would bring them again! So now on to the cake.


After we left Sweet and Sassy, we went back to Bryn's house and played, and watched a movie, and played and played! Needless to say they ALL had a lot of fun! They all slept in the front room with their sleeping bags and the next morning it was immediate playing again!

All our belongings---on thier way!




So we are hoping that we will see all these barrels again. This is how we shipped our things to Dominica! We purchased 6 55 gallon barrels, and filled them FULL with our things. Then we have a company named Tropical Shipping ship them for us. They picked them up at our house through Conway and will truck them to Florida and from Florida they are put on a boat and sent to the island. It takes about a month to get there, so we sent them the first week of April and hope we see them again!

Kyler as a "Worker Man"


Kyler loves to play with Mike when we go to Levan, and last weekend he had just gotten done with a side job, so he still looked like a "WorkerMan" as Kyler calls it. Mike was outside playing ball with him, and they set down for a minute and Kyler kept looking at Mike, and finally said, "Me wear that?" He was so happy to be a "Worker Man"! "Thanks Mike for being my bud!"

Doing the workers in Levan

Every time we go to Levan, the kids always want to go see all the animals. Kyler's got a favorite cow down there that he and Other one Grandma has named "Ol Black Face"! The last time we were down they got feeding them some grass and I was able to get a few good pictures of it! They are all BRAVE, until the cows come:)!!!!



This is "Ol Black Face"



Kyler's favorite place to be!


Kyler's new haircut!

Erick was going to go get his hair cut the other day, and Kyler was begging him to take him with. He kept saying, "My hair cut too?" And doesn't he look so handsome!!!!
