Today was what I would say the first day of summer:) it went OK. The boys were really good at helping out. Eva woke up about5:00 this morning so I gave her a cup of milk. She drank it and kept screaming so I brought her down to my bed. She was OK for a little bit and then threw up all over my bed. It was chunky milk. Very smelly and gross. So she hasn't felt good all day. I got the boys binders done for school work for the summer. Wade didn't get off work till 9:00. He is really tired. Its getting really warm it was/in the 80's today. Forgot to put down yesterday that Matthew bore his testimony in sacrament. He did it all by himself and I missed it. I had to take Eva out cause she was unhappy. Wade had taken Russell out cause he had dug a scab on his nose and it was bleeding. So neither me or wade was in there. Everyone said it was so cute! He asked when he could bear his testimony again. He is a very special soap and I know one day he will make a wonderful missionary. Russell loves doing whatever Matthew does so he will be right behind him. I love my boys so much. Eva has her own personality. Just wasn't feeling good tonight.

on a personal note

I am amazed and sad at how fast my kids are growing. I feel like. Every day they are to big. I don't spend enough time with them and I don't feel like I am a very good mom but every day my kids shower me with lots of hugs and kisses and tell me they love me. I feel like life is slipping through my hands and I can't catch it. Don't ever forget to treasure every moment with the kids. Put phones down, computers and anything else that takes time away from the kids and make memories to hold on to instead of looking back one day and not having any good ones.

my boys

Wade has the calling of organizing clean up for the church. The boys love to clean the church! So yesterday after we got the church cleaned we gave them the choice of driving up the canyon or going to Temple Squar . of course they chose the temple. They love going there. Well we had so much fun. First thing was going to see the statue of Christ. The boys were so excited they ran all the way up the ramp. My heart fills with joy seeing how happy it males them. They love to go look at him and touch his feet. Matthew always tells us facts he learned in church and Russell repeats them. Well I was sitting down with Eva and saw Russell was talking to what I thought was the statue. When he was done he came and sat next to me with his arms folded and a frown on his face. I asked what was wrong and he said that heavenly father wouldn't come give him a hug. I said to him that it was just a statue made of rock. He looked at me and said"not that mom!" Heavenly father! And pointed up. He won't come give me a hug. That's when without thinking I told him that's why God gave you a mom. Whenever I hug you that is a hug coming straight from heavenly father. He got a big grin and threw him arms around my neck and gave me a big hug. I got a lot of hugs the rest of the day.

After that we went on to play at the museum for a bit and then to the reflecting pond. After that we went to "Johnny Rockets" for some burgers. It is a great place and lots of fun. Then back to the house and made some smores. It was a great day.

Matthew started kindergarten the fall of 2012. He was so excited! His school is Reading elementary in Centerville Utah. His teacher was Mrs. conners. They were " conners cubs". He did really well. I was the party mom for his class. So I took care of the Halloween party, Christmas and Valentines day. I also helped with the posters for teacher appreciation and field day. I was in charge of the obstacle course. The kids all loved it! Matthew did a great job at it and after he " bought " me a snow cone. Lol his graduation was lots of fun also. They sang songs and each had a part. Matthews was " I like winter because I get to sled". He had it memorized and and did very good. He also memorized the Getisburge Address. I am one proud mama.

Matthew had a VIP day and was to bring someone very important to him. He chose Russell. I just stood back and let them enjoy. When Matthews class learned their numbers up to 100 they had a 100 party. Everyone made a hat with groups of 10 to make up 100.

Matthew LOVED learning about president Washington and president Lincoln. They learned a song for both. They wrote lots of books and drew the pics to go with. He learned about different country's and their traditions. They learned a fun song about lepricans and Cradles. I went with his class to the zoo after they finished their study of animals. Russell went with us and we had lots of fun.

The last day of school they did a car show and drive in movie. All the kids decked their cars and "drove" them around the school. Jenni was our neighbor and carpool buddy. And that was Matthews kindergarten school year.

Eva

was born on March 7, 2013. With Eva her pregnancy started out while we were living in Hurricane. So her doc started out as Dr. Daren Gatherum. I love him. He is a wonderful Dr. He delivered Russell so I was very happy he would be Eva's Dr too. About half way through the pregnancy we had to move back up North. We moved to Farmington the first of Oct. 2012. I started going back to Dr Hurt ( Matthews Dr) but around January I was at Wal-mart and slipped on some Ice and I did the splits. That started me into contractions. I ended up at the hospital. He was in the hall and never bothered checking on me or anything. It made me feel like I didn't matter so I switched to a mid wife. Her name is Stacy Carter and she was wonderful! When it got close to due date she said she was going to be gone for a few days so if I went over to far she wouldn't be there. So we decided to start me on the 7 of March. Trista took the boys and we headed into the hospital that morning. When Stacy pulled the hook out to break my water she started laughing because before she could do anything my water broke on it own. Me and wade hung out and joked around. I was wearing a hospital gown I made myself and all the nurses loved it. But what got wade laughing was the knee high green and white checkered socks I was wearing to keep my feet warm. I put up with the contractions for quiet a while then decided to go ahead with the epidermal. When the epidermal guy came in he had a student with him so I let her give it a try. She did really good. It wasn't too much longer that Eva came into the world. I was push and Stacy said " WOW look at all that hair." I thought she was joking. Then wade stuck his head down there and looked at me and said " HEY! Where did all that hair come from." I still thought they were joking so I said the swan man. ( running joke) then they put her on my belly and i was speechless. There was a lot of hair! She wasn't breathing very good so they took her and I sent wade with her. She is beautiful!
