Happy Day!

Tonight Parker discovered TWO loose teeth!! He is so excited because all of his friends have already lost teeth, it has FINALLY come for him!! :) It's like Christmas for him~HILARIOUS!

He keeps touching his loose teeth and smiling, I just had to post it!

Poor Austin still has a few years!
Blake keeps telling Parker he has lost 8 teeth already, he thinks he is the tooth expert! :)

Funny moment at our house!

OH Garbage!

Blake and I visited the landfill and burnplant this week. Yes, I went to the dump for a guided tour(For Blake's Academic Project). It was great, really! Blake wanted to learn more about recycling and what happens to our garbage when it leaves our house, I learned alot!! The Landfill Manager gave us a personal tour of the place, I can't believe what people throw away..WASTE, WASTE, WASTE! Another amazing thing is how awesome they are at recycling there at the landfill, there is so much that they are doing there for all of us! They take our garbage and reuse it in so many ways!

Blake loved the huge garbage crunching tractor at the landfill, they even let him operate it.

The burn plant was interesting, I'm glad they burn 90% of the garbage and only take the 10% to bury at the landfill. When we drove by the ponds you could hear frogs chirping in the pond, the landfill manager said it is chuck full of polywogs and frogs!! At the end, he took us in his office and showed us his pet tarantula, I stayed in the hallway~!

Also, it was Austin's last day at "Nastics" this week, I had my camera out of focus for some shots, sorry.

Things have been SOOOOOOOO busy here! I realize I don't have any pictures of Parker, so here ya go...He has been very busy and with us every step of the way!

Hope all is well with you!

THE Derby!

Last week we attended Blake's Pinewood Derby. He took 4th!! It was funny to see how competitive the Dad's were. They were making me laugh! Good Job Blake!

This was the first race, Blake's car is the lead.

Parker and Austin cheering Blake's car on, they already decided what color car they will have when they're in Scouts. :) Funny Males!

WHAT A WEEK!

It has certainly been an extrememly busy week. I can't believe it is Friday. I have been so SICK! I have one nasty virus. In the meantime a lot has happenened.......

First Blake's Basketball game.

Second, off to the temple.

Third, sore arms from Family "WII" night.
Fourth, one BIG YW activity--then the sickness hit, BOY did it ever. I have been flat on my back since Tuesday Night. I am still so horribly sick, I can't stand tv and need a good book to read. So I decided to blog. While I have been on my deathbed, poor Ryan has been trying to take care of everything! Other than his office moving to another building, to Bishopric, sick wife, oh the list goes on.
Fourth, Ryan took Blake and Parker to meet Ronnie Brewer from the Jazz last night.

(Thanks for the Chicken Noodle soup that night Erin!!!)

Fifth, Blake becomes Governor. While we watched McCain and Obama battle it out in elections this past year, Blake was busy running for Governor of his class. Blake had a great campaign team (he had buttons and posters, you name it) and was elected Governor earlier this year, infact I found out he won the election the day my dad had heart surgery.

Today I woke up and drug my medicated self to his Inauguration. He was sworn in by a real Judge. Judge PAGE. Blake also gave a great acceptance speech. We're so proud of him.

I wish I could add that I am feeling better to this list, unfortunately I get worse each day. I hope that I can get better soon! The doc said 7-10 days...YUCK!!!

(Thanks Jen for offering to take the kids-You are the best!)

Hope you are all well! I'd rather be sick than to know any of you had this!
