I decided that being a mom brings back a lot of emotions and feelings as a kid. When christmas time comes you get the childlike feelings because you are so excited for your kids and the excitement that they feel is absorbed into you. The same with most holidays. It is a lot more work being on the parent end but the results are so wonderful and watching your children light up because of something that you have created or a memory made is unforgetable.
Todays feelings are not on the excitement level. I feel so nervous for Britton and his tryouts. I have the butterflies in my stomach. I don't want him to be disappointed or let down. He has a love for soccer. I know that he is good enough but it is the coach that needs to see and feel that.

Field Day and Try-outs
Today was a wet day for the boys. At school they had there field day. They had so much fun. They traveled from station to station and got to play fun wet games. I think that with my kids and most kids water equals fun. Today was no exception. They had a station of tug-o-war with three little pools in the center that the kids would fall into if there team was losing. They had different relay water games, they had an inflatible obstacle course. They had water dodge ball and lots of other fun activites. Abby and Brynlee had fun also they were able to play on the playground and watch the boys getting wet and being crazy with there friends.
Then this evening Britton tried out for a competition soccer team. It was his first time to tryout for a team. He has played AYSO since he was 4 and is so fun to watch. There were 23 boys trying out and only 16 spots. He did his best and hopes to make it. I am so proud of Britton and the good boy he is. He looked good out on the field and he can hold his head up high no matter what the results will be. Abby and Brynlee were quite the stinkers tonight they decided to watch themselves with dirt at the tryouts. They rubbed dirt up and down there legs all over there arms and on top of there heads and all over there faces. They were absolutely covered from head to toe. One mom turned to me and said I'm just glad it wasn't my daughter but you will laugh about this later. The shower looked like we dumped chocolate milk on the ground. Those two little girls are like a magnet to dirt.

Cousin Tuesday
Tuesday is a special day. It is the day that we have fun with cousins. We started this a few months ago and have continued because we have so much fun together. We go to Grandma and Grandpa Mack's house and bring lunch and let the kids play. We have fun as sisters and mom and also Aunt Cathy and Brittany come. We just sit around the kitchen table and share ideas and look at magazines. The kids play outside if the weather is good or in the play room. They get to watch cartoons and usually enjoy a ring pop or dum dum sucker. I love my family so much and am so grateful that I live so close to my family.
Today the kids played outside and picked all of the flowers that were growing between grandmas house and the neighbor. We are really trying to get the girls to stop this but it is a problem. The girls also played with grandmas paper dolls and squinkies. The boys played a little football and watched a Popeye cartoon.
The kids are never ready to go home. Brynlee thinks that she is the boss of Grandma's t.v. and only wants to watch Go Diego Go or Dora. Grandma can't tell her no. Thanks for making new memories.

Memorial Day
We had a great day with family today. We started the day out by going to a neighborhood breakfast. They served blueberry pancakes, scrambled eggs, ham, bacon, sausage, cheesey potatoes, and juice. The kids ran all around and played with one another. Then we drove down to Benjamin. We had a family reunion at a park and visited with cousins. It was a beautiful day. The sun was shining so bright. The kids had fun on the swings, playing on the jungle gym, playing in the mud. Brynlee was covered with mud. The boys had fun playing baseball and football with Dan and their uncles.
Then we went to Bountiful and visited with Dan's family. They had a get together at Marvin and Loni house. The cousins were all there and they had so much fun.
We are truly blessed to live in an area and enjoy such beautiful surroundings. We have family all around us. We have the beautiful mountains and the blue skies. Today was a good day.
Brynlee was so funny in the car today. She would yell, "are we their yet?" And then she would answer herself, "we'll get their when we get their." And then almost immediately after she would say, "How you doin honey," and she would answer again, "do I have to hanswer." She says the funniest things.

Today
Today was such a fun day. It was my dad's birthday. We got together and had a dinner at mom and dad's house. The kids got to play and had a lot of fun playing football with the dad's and playing upstairs in the fun playroom. We played ROOK. We love rook and always laugh and laugh and laugh some more. I love hanging out with my brothers and sisters. We always get along and enjoy just spending time together.
The kids are doing great.
Britton dressed as Elvis last week for school and did an oral report on his life. He also dressed as a german immigant coming to Ellis Island in the late 1800's. He is trying out for Strikers this week.
Bryson has earned a class party for good behavior and he is excited to have finally earned a party. He is looking forward to school being out.
Parker got to go on a field trip to Fresh Market Grocery Store, The Library, The Heritage Museum in Layton and the Park with the entire 1st grade. He had a lot of fun and was so excited to finally go on a trip with school.
Abby had her last day of school. She had a barbie party and dressed as a barbie and got to bring a barbie with her to school. She is excited to be done with pre-school and is looking forward to going to Kindergarten in th fall.
Brynlee is as sweet and cute as ever. She says so of the funniest things. She can replay the swiper the fox and the Dora Show. She has learned our address and our phone number. She is so smart and loves to sing and learn new things.
