Spring Break

I apologize ahead of time, some of the pictures are sideways, yes, I know. I am sure that I could reopen them in some other program to fix them all but then I probably wouldn't have time to actually post. So I figure you can all deal with it.

I decided that for once I was not going to just sit around and wish my house was clean and wish that the kids made it easy for me to go somewhere with them. So instead we rested on Monday and then on Tuesday we set out to go to the Discovery Gateway. We were getting dressed and I was putting the last of the laundry away when we heard screaming. Yep Charlie needed stitches. So off to the Doctor we went and he ended up with 2 stitches in his head. Go Charlie! He is definitely "that kid."


Needless to say that put us a day behind in the plans. On Wednesday we went to the Thanksgiving Point Farm. Charlie thought all the animals were there for him. I was so worried he would fall and smash his head but he didn't. He loved the goats who came and licked his hands. Alice and Daniel really wanted to go on the pony rides so we waited FOREVER but eventually all 3 kids got to ride the sad looking ponies. We stayed there for almost 2 hours which is longer than I have ever stayed before. It was a nice day outside and I am glad we enjoyed the sun.

Thursday we finally made it to the Discovery Gateway. This has got to be one of my favorite places to take my kids. I was worried it was going to be so crowded but it was not. The kids had a great time, we never got lost from each other, and other than Alice's meltdown when I said it was finally time to go home it was pretty awesome.


Other than that my kids and I enjoyed being outside. Last but not least I was able to go to General Conference with my dad. It was awesome.

Ikea beat the rainy day

My kids love the dirt. They love being outside while I try to plant and do everything in the dirt. Alice rolls in, runs in, and eats the dirt. The grossest thing I have found lately is her with her mouth full of mud and a pebble in her hand and big smiles on her face. To beat that I have found her now three times with dirt in the mouth. Yuck! Today it rained. This has got to be the fifteenth day this month that it rained and my kids could not stand it. So eventually I told the kids to get their shoes (which makes Alice run to the door) and that we were going to IKEA. IKEA is a great way to spend the day. Daniel and Alice played in the kids rooms that were set up and ran through that little hole in the wall they have between two of the rooms. They loved it. One of the rooms had a slide in it which Alice discovered that she loved. Down the slide she went, over and over and over again. Then we came home and the crying and tantrums started up right away again. But for those two...

Marriages

I am combining the prompts from the 4th and 5th. They ask if you have marriage certificates and then stories about how the people met and later became married. I have found a few citations of marriage records but have seen very few, while I am grateful for the indexers who put the information out there I can't wait until they get around to attaching images. Although I guess I can always pay for the actual documents but who wants to do that? Regardless, this is one of my favorite stories. My grandma, LaVon Taysom, was the oldest of a lot of kids. When she was a teenager her parents sent her and two of her sisters to live with their grandparents (Hammers) in Pleasant View, UT. While there, they would attend the local dances and she eventually met Marshall Maycock. Now being proper, as they dated, her sisters went with them as chaperones. Eventually LaVon and Marshall decided to get married. She was only 17 so on their marriage certificate her birthday says 10 Jul 1908!! ...

Random

So the baby girl sure moves a lot. I remember being amazed when I was pregnant with Daniel, when they asked about fetal kicks and I thought, seriously there are babies who only kick 10 times in an hour? Those women are so lucky. I wanted to have Daniel as soon as possible mostly because I didn't think that my ribs would hold up from his abuse. I had a lot of people tell me that he would probably still be a calm baby anyway, that some babies are just active in the womb. Those people were dead wrong. Daniel has just been on the move since he was conceived apparently. The only thing I worried about with having two kids close together is that they would both be as active as Daniel. It looks as though we are well on our way to having two kids who can't sit still and have to be into everything and anything. By the way does anyone have any tips on how to convince Daniel that he doesn't have to stand on a chair and help mom in the kitchen every time I walk in there? I am ...
