February 25
When Nick got home from school, I went to Jenni & BJ's to watch this rowdy bunch of kids. They needed a temple night and I was available so it worked out great! Although I don't EVER want 7 kids of my own, it was fun for the few hours I was with them.
On a side note, I watched in horror as my baby fell down our entire flight of stairs. Luckily, he didn't get hurt but I was as much, if not more, hysterical about the situation than he was. We sat at the bottom of my stairs and cried it out! When I realized there was absolutely no way I could stop what was happening, the medical/emergency side of me focused on whether he had any limbs or his neck went in the wrong direction. Luckily, he basically just rolled down; kind of the way you would down a hill on purpose. I felt confident I could pick him up once he landed. If I had seen anything go awry though, I would have just called 9-1-1. We may have paid for an ambulance ride for a broken arm if he wouldn't have been okay!

Our MOPS table decided to have a girl's night out. I joined up with everyone right at the end of their dinner at Red Robin. Then we went over to the theater and watched a new movie, "Labor Day". I'm glad I was with a bunch of girls. The movie was a little...well...how should I say...off? Not my fave but I love being with my bestie and other good friends.

Church was a little rough for us today. Zack and I weren't feeling well and sacrament meeting was so hard for both of us, we ended up coming home and taking a big long nap! We had dinner at Grandma and Jim's and it was amazing. I just wish I felt better. Darn mommy cold!

Did I mention on Home Depot date night we picked a new faucet for our kitchen sink? Our old one was leaking and awful so Simon replaced it with this new pretty one. The little water spigot is for a reverse osmosis system. We own it, just need to spend a Saturday installing it. I love having a handyman around!

Date night! When Simon got home from work, we took the kids to Dave & Viv then went to dinner at La Fountain. We have so much to decide on and buy for the basement, we finished up date night with a trip to Home Depot to get closet doors, blinds, etc. Not romantic, but fun!

Yes, those are kid-selfies. They drive me a little nutty with their picture taking. My mom came over to help me sew a valence for my bathroom, which never happened because I forgot to wash the fabric beforehand. While she and I were visiting and hanging out, my sweet children got ahold of my phone and this is what I got. I left the other 30 pictures out...deleted them actually.

Oops, I meant to take pictures at parent teacher conference but it was a crazy night (Simon couldn't come because of Young Men's) so I forgot. But here is the kids' school, Foothills Elementary. Both Nick and Kendra are doing great in school and little sister is just thriving. It was fun to hear from their teachers about what a joy they are to have in their classes. I am sad they will go to the new school being built next year. We have had a great experiences with Foothills and the staff.

I can't believe I will have an 8-year-old in less than a month! This BIG kid couldn't wait for the Blue & Gold banquet. They did a super cute Olympic theme with foods from different countries and "Olympic events" for the kids to participate in. They introduced Nick with a group of boys that will be coming in over the next few months. He is very excited to start scouts and I am happy for him. Thank heaven for my 3 years as a Webelos leader...I'll actually know how to help him!

  2. Fun and cute pictures Heather. I am loving your Blog. I am going backwards in it though. I didn't know Kendra could do your tongue trick too. What gifted children you have.

    1. Oh yes, she can curl her tongue and do the curly trick. I think Zack will be able to do it too because he'll do it on accident. I just can't get him to do it on purpose yet. :)
