Dentist

Harley and I had dentist appointments yesterday. She was such a trooper! We have not been for a long time. Yeah, I know, I am a slacker! Here are some pictures of her. The ones of Oakley are of him after he woke up. He slept on my stomach the whole time I was getting my teeth cleaned! what a good boy!

They give you headphone so you can watch the tv on the ceiling and sun glasses so you don't get anything in your eyes!

I told her that she looked like a Duck in this picture with her Yellow trays!

Oakley brushing the alligator's teeth. He had so much fun and LOVES his Diego toothbrush!

Happy Birthday Tyson!

I just wanted to wish Tyson a Happy Birthday! I can not believe that my little bro is 22.. CRAZY! A little bit about Ty. He is a man of many talents! I remember when he was little he was going to be a football player. He did that! He played for Cokeville High School for 3 yrs. (which they were a VERY good team!) He has been a Cheerleader for Dixie State! Tyson is a licensed Cosmotologist, and is now in the Army. Tyson joined the Army and is going to do what he has been going to do for a while. Serve our Country.
Tyson is a Yankee fan through and through! (and has a brother to be on his side, but a sister to be the rival! GO SOX!) =) Tyson was married in November to Lauren and she makes him so Happy! Tyson is the best uncle 3 kids could have. I have asked Harley what she loves about Tyson and she always says that she loves that he teases her. After asked why she loves him for that, she said that he teases her because he loves her! That is true! I am so glad that I have a really cute brother, because, I now know what my little Oak, aka TYSON JR. will look like! Enough said, I just really wanted to wish Tyson a HaPPy BiRThdAy! and let him know that we love him!

Flashback Friday!

FLASHBACK FRIDAY!

I am going to be doing this for a couple Fridays. I have seen it on a few blogs and thought that it was really funny to see things from the past. I found this picture and thought that it was funny! Okay, I found a couple! That means that you will have to wait!
This picture is of Michelle and I when we were about 7 or 8. I remember these shirts and making them! SO 1980's! I was staying at Michelle's house in Clearfield for a week in the summer. We did this all the time. Aunt Meg took us to a t-shirt store where we got to pick out a shirt and put the paint on it while it spun! Don't we look so cute! Especially with the shirts to the side! Look, we even have matching Jelly Bracelets! What were we thinking? Oh, my the BaNgS! I can go on and on about this pic!

Monday Night.... Softball!

Monday night, my dad had a softball game. I am so excited that he is playing! That gives us more time to be at the ball park. YAY! It was a really good game.. the guys held the other team and went into double O.T. or in baseball extra innings! Here are some pictures of the kids watching the game. They kept on saying "GO PAPA!"

Oakley thought it would be cute to wear Papa's sunglasses! He is a stud... Even with his new haircut!
This is Aurora (Trint and Chanel's little girl). She is Oakley's age and wanted to play with him but everytime that she got close to him he would slide away. It was so cute though, she was getting mad when he would leave her!

Sunday..... walk in the park!

Today, I took the kids to the park in Provo to feed the ducks. They had a blast even though the ducks would not eat the bread that they were feeding them. Oakley had a fun time throwing the bread into the water and watching it float away. We ate lunchables while waiting for time to pass on! They then went and played at the park and go up and down the slide! Here are some pictures of them playing.

Sleep Eating?!

Oakley was eating at the babysitters today and fell asleep. Here is a cute video of it.

Terrible two's, Already?

I have been having problems getting Oakley to go to bed. I let him sit and cry and hit and scream tonight. He then went and got a toy and played with it for a bit.. then came out by me at the computer and sat and watched the news.. Oh what fun! He saw my camera and said, 'cheese mom, cheese' I looked at him and he was trying to take a picture of himself. I took the camera from him and tried to take a pic. He then turned his butt up at me. Then I got this one.=) I asked him to go and get me a blanket so that I could cuddle with him on the couch, a couple minutes passed and I did not hear anything from him. I went into his room and nothing, the bathroom and nothing, so I went into my room and found him asleep.. this is the cutest..

If you look close, he has a pen in his hand! Hmmm was he going to color or something?

Old McDonald had a farm!

We had family home evening tonight and we went to Aunt Shirley's and Uncle John's house. Their goats had just had babies so we took the kids to go and see them. It was way fun. Not only did they get to see the goats but the got to see the horses and the turkey! The kids got into the pen with the goats and chased them around. Trent even thought that he would try and catch a baby goat so that we could pet it.

Softball..

Today was the first game of the season! It was SOO much fun. Even though the team that we played kicked our aces! What is with it with people who have to play to win and not for fun? Isn't that what it is supposed to be about? Well, I played and had a fun time! Except.... I was running to third base and the left fielder threw the ball and instead of sliding because I was one step away from the base and.... the third baseman does not know how to catch a ball..... it hit me in the leg.. OUCH! but who says all girls cry.. what is up with that... deal with the pain! And I can not believe all the people that are like.. OMG are you okay.. Yes I am fine.. I know how to deal with pain from a softball... okay.. well if I would have slid into third, like I would have if I played in SPANISH FORK.. because you know you get out if you don't slide..... It would have hit me in the head.. and then I probably would have cried! So here is a gross picture of my leg.... and it has only been an hour since it happened.....(from the time I took the picture)

CrAZy PiCS

On Sunday night, we were having fun with the camera. Here are some pictures that we took. They are way random and were fun to take!

KiSSY, KiSSY!!

Curse?

NY Yankees unearth buried Red Sox jersey from new stadium

By KAREN MATTHEWS, Associated Press Writer

NEW YORK (AP)—A construction worker’s bid to curse the New York Yankees by planting a Boston Red Sox jersey in their new stadium was foiled when the home team removed the offending shirt from its burial spot.

After locating the shirt in a service corridor behind what will be a restaurant in the new Yankee Stadium, construction workers jackhammered through the concrete Sunday and pulled it out.

The team said it learned that a Red Sox-rooting construction worker had buried a shirt in the new Bronx stadium, which will open next year across the street from the current ballpark, from a report in the New York Post on Friday.

Yankees president Randy Levine said team officials at first considered leaving the shirt where it was.

“The first thought was, you know, it’s never a good thing to be buried in cement when you’re in New York,” Levine said. “But then we decided, why reward somebody who had really bad motives and was trying to do a really bad thing?”

On Saturday, construction workers who remembered the employee, Gino Castignoli phoned in tips about the shirt’s location.

“We had anonymous people come tell us where it was, and we were able to find it,” said Frank Gramarossa, a project executive with Turner Construction, the general contractor on the site.

It took about five hours of drilling Saturday to locate the shirt under 2 feet of concrete, he said.

On Sunday, Levine and Yankees CEO Lonn Trost watched as Gramarossa and foreman Rich Corrado finished the job and pulled the shirt from the rubble.

In shreds from the jackhammers, the shirt still bore the letters “Red Sox” on the front. It was a David Ortiz jersey, No. 34.

Trost said the Yankees had discussed possible criminal charges against Castignoli with the district attorney’s office.

“We will take appropriate action since fortunately we do know the name of the individual,” he said.

A spokesman for Bronx District Attorney Robert Johnson said Sunday he did not know whether any criminal charges might apply.

“It’s typical Yankees,” Castignoli told the Boston Herald on Monday. “It’s not like I snuck in there. It didn’t do any structural damage. I didn’t put anyone in harm’s way.”

Castignoli, 46, said he became a Red Sox fan during his childhood in 1975 when he idolized slugger Jim Rice.

As construction began for the new Yankee Stadium, Castignoli said his union got after him to work on the project. The Red Sox fan was reluctant.

“I would not go near Yankee Stadium, not for all the hot dogs in the world,” he told the Herald.

But he relented, and hatched the plan to plant the jersey. He said he worked just a single day at the stadium project.

“It was worth it,” he said.

Levine said the shirt would be cleaned up and sent to the Jimmy Fund, a charity affiliated with Boston’s Dana-Farber Cancer Institute. Along with that, New York will send a Yankees Universe T-shirt, which is sold to benefit Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center.

“Hopefully the Jimmy Fund will auction it off and we’ll take the act that was a very, very bad act and turn it into something beautiful,” he said.

Weekend.....

I read Emily's blog and thought this was a good idea... Weekend update! On Friday after work, I came home to find a messy house.. oh wait it has been like that for a while! I have been getting ready to do a yard sale and with the weather on Friday I decided that I would wait a bit to do it. I have been cleaning my house and trying to get things together.. I have piles and piles of clothes that no longer fit the kids, and toys galore! Does anyone else feel that they can sit and clean and clean you walk out of the room to clean another and come back and it is a mess again? My word, what is up with kids these days! I am going to make them put all their toys in their room and that is the only place that they can play! So on Saturday, I was woke up by two little kids saying Mommy go outside and play and lets watch 'cars'. I got up and realized it was going to be an amazing day! I called my mom and dad and asked they would bring me down the lawn mower so that I could mow the lawn. (man, you really do take for granted having a husband.. I wish someone would come and do this for me weekly!!) I went out to mow the lawn and here come the kids in mismatch socks, and winter coats. I started laughing.. not only were they wearing coats but they both had shorts on! (only in Utah will you see this!) Oakley brought out his bubble lawn mower and started mowing the lawn that I had just done. He is so cute.

Since the weather was being good to me, I decided to take a run to the dump and get rid of some garbage that was piling up. I called my dad and asked him if he would bring me a wheel barrel so that I could move the remainder of the rocks that were delivered to my house and put them in my driveway.. again where was a man! I have not worked so hard in one day.. not only outside, but I cleaned my house again! and again! But it was nice to be outside and enjoy the fresh air and sun! We even got a little red!

Today, we got up and went to church. It felt like we were new to the ward again! We have not been to our church in over a month.. Crazy.... I have some of the funniest kids! Oakley was eating fruit snacks during sacrament meeting and dropped one. He looked at the guy behind us and said 'get it'. The guy looked and him and then to the ground and back to his book. Oakley let out a sigh got off the bench, walked around picked it up showed the guy and put it in his mouth then walked around and sighed again. (in his mind he thought that the guy was crazy because he did not pick it up and listen to him!) The guy behind us looked at the ground again, then back to his book!

When we got home it was nap time.. Oakley would not go to sleep for the life of me.. I was tired and sore from yesterday and Harley was already asleep. He wanted to wrestle.. man was I wore out. I had hamburger thawing out so that we could make a good dinner. Harley woke up and wanted a bowl of cereal before we ate. I let them eat a bowl and while Oakley was eating he fell asleep. Here are some pictures of him. It was so cute, He was even feeding himself while asleep and would not let go of the spoon!

Why me!!?

Why is it that kids will only watch a couple movies until you are going NUTS? Oakley has watched Cars 5 times today.. I swear I can hide it and he will find it.. I think that I have the whole show memorized. He even has everything Cars.. he has all of the Cars that you can think of.. even a book to read before bed! If it is not Cars it is Nemo!... I went through the Nemo stage with Harley when it first came out.. She would watch it nightly.. Now with Oakley... ugh..

Harley will fight with Oakley to watch some of her Favorite shows.. It is usually one of these two... Ella Enchanted or the Harry Potter Series.. Any one have any ideas on other shows that I can get my kids to watch!? I am seriously going to throw the dvd player away!
