Snap Crackle Pop

Landon has been complaining of back and neck pain for a while now, and keeps threatening to go to the chiropractor! He finally went in yesterday. They took some X-rays, and did some other tests, and then he was suppose to go in for an adjustment today.

Colton hurt his back at recess playing basketball, and really finished himself off at scouts last night. They were working on physical fitness. When I woke him up this morning, he was in bad shape! I called Lan, and told him to schedule Colton an appt. too. I don't need 2 cripples heading for a 3 hour plane ride. They both got in, and we really like the chiropractor. We found out that both of them have scoliosis. Nothing bad, but just a little curve to their spines. He adjusted them both and they'll need more, but for now they both feel much better!

UNO

Can I just say, that my kids are obsessed with Uno. After reading my friend Stacey's blog about playing Uno, I thought it would be a great game for my kids. I figured that they all know their numbers and colors, and they might actually have fun together! Let me just tell you. They're obsessed. They're getting up early to play, and hurrying to get ready for school so they can squeeze in a game or two before they leave. I don't know what we did before Uno. I guess we were just starring at the walls!

Shop 'til you drop!

I had my 4 week check up with my Dr. today. All is well, and I got the go ahead to bathe! Hallelujah!!! I had to go to Seattle, so I went a little early to do some shopping, and spent a good part of my morning at Ross. Now, I know some of you don't "understand" the value of Ross, but I lost a little piece of my soul when I moved away from my Ross. Today, I just browsed, and tried things on, with absolutely NO ONE waiting for me! I loved it. I may have spent some quality time (and money) in Old Navy too. Ahh, to have these stores close to me again- A girl can dream

Book Report Fun

Make a scrapbook - it's easy!

Whitley has a book report "project" due, the Monday after spring break. We decided to get it done early, so we wouldn't have to worry about it while we're in AZ. On Saturday we went and got a ton of craft supplies, and last night after dinner our dining room turned into craft central. Landon, Whit and I worked on her book scene, and Colton and Kennedy took whatever we didn't use, and created their own project. We had tons of fun, and in the end made quite the project!

I Am Thankful For...(#13)

...a hot bath.

Since my surgery I haven't been able to take a bath, and with the cold weather outside, I'm dying to. I have a follow up appt. with my Dr. Wednesday, and my only goal is that I can take a bath again! You don't know what you've got, 'til it's gone.

Pride on 3, Pride on 3

Okay, this is going to be another post about Whitley and soccer, and it's me totally bragging. However, it's not what you think. As I've stated before, we are raising the next Mia Hamm (ha ha ha) . At her game today, the other team STUNK! I think Kennedy's team could have beat them. For the entire 1st half, Whitley played defense. I think her coach could see that he needed to hold her off! Every single girl on her team scored a goal. The other team never scored. It was one of those kind of games. Anyway, in the second half when he finally let Whitley play forward, she was awesome. She was passing it to everyone else, and making sure that the girls that hadn't scored got the ball. She hung out at midfield through most of the quarter, just kind of watching the game. Don't get me wrong, she got in a goal or 2, but I was so proud of her. She could have scored at will, and she held back so she didn't just run up the score.

I just tucked her into bed and thanked her again, and told her how proud I was of her for how she had played in the game today. She thanked me and said that she felf sorry for those other girls, and didn't want them to feel bad, so she didn't really play too hard. See, there is a soft side to her. I just have to be patient!

A Little Culture

Last night we took the kids to see Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat! Our stake was putting on a performance, and the tickets were free! I thought, what the heck, even if it's horrible, at least it's something to do! Colton did not want to go, and I wasn't sure how Kennedy would last. I knew that Whit would love it with all of the music.

As it turns out, it was fabulous. I was completely shocked at how well it was done. There is some big talent in our stake. All 3 of my kids LOVED it. Colton said at least 5 times afterwards how much fun it was, and how much he liked it. I think he was shocked that he had enjoyed himself. After the show, we took the kids to Perkins for some dessert. Kennedy ate her ice cream, and then promptly fell asleep in the booth- We had a really fun night, and I'm glad that the kids got to EXPERIENCE something new, again!
