On June 26, 2010 a Saturday we went and stayed in a hotel in South Salt Lake.  We went to visit Uncle Austin at I-Med and then went swimming at the Cowabunga Bay.  Swimming was awesome!!!  there were tons of water slides.  The boys were a little nervous at first but got used to all the slides.  Morgan talked Joseph into going down the big Cahuna and they both hurt their backs but has so much fun.  My favorite was the lazy river!  (Imagine that) only 7 weeks left in the pregnancy and I want to be lazy!!  When we were just about finished swimming then we got a phone call from Austin that said he was ready to go to Wall-mart!!  What!?  He had decided that he was going to go to Bountiful the next day for Anthony’s Farewell, but he needed some clothes to go.  So off we hurried to get to I-Med so that we could help Austin get to Wall-mart!  The Dr.’s had him do a transfer test just to see if he could move enough to get into the car.  Sure enough he was ready to get out of that hospital bed! We drove down 5300 south to the west and went to wall-mart only 5 minutes away, the Boys were so excited and I think smothered him a bit by wanting to push his wheelchair and be by his side the hole time. He found some nice black pants a shirt and tie and some socks for church the next day and of course a 24 pack of Mtn. Dew!  It was so good to see him out and enjoying the outing so much.  Once he made up his mind he was going nobody asked any questions!

Swimming Lessons

 

LiveJournal Tags: The First of June we enrolled the kids into swimming lessons.....thinking they would absolutely love it!! yeah right! It was kind of a fight to get them into the water every day..it doesn't help that the water was ususally freezing cold. They just wanted to go to the manti pool and play instead. Into the second week they calmed down a bit and enjoyed it more. PJ and Kash were great,they are little fish and love the water. They learned some strokes with their arms that they use now when they are just playing around. So it was worth the two weeks of torture in a cold pool every day!

T-Ball 2010

LiveJournal Tags: T-Ball 2010 - PJ and Kash were so excited to play together this year on the same team and to top it all off,Dad gets to be the coach!! (which also means that mom has to help!) It has been so fun to watch the boys play and grow up. PJ is very aggressive,he tackles his own teamates to get the ball and throw it to first base. by the end of the season,which just ended the end of june he was more willing to share by getting the ball then letting someone else throw it. We told him once to share and let someone else get the ball,and he said well you told me to get the ball,so we decided not to tell him to not play as hard and assertive. Kash was just excited to hit the ball and run around the bases,he wasn't so fond of being in the outfield but would endure! One day he told Joe,"Dad,you have to yell at us"..Why? Joe asked "Because...your the Coach!" Joseph was a great coach and it was fun!

 

 

Face Paint

Technorati Tags: 6-12-2010 - Thanks Carol for the fun facepaint! I thought I had it hidden when this is what I come upon in the bathroom mirror. Ah-well they had fun! we had to do some scrubbing to get it off! Although I think they look more like indians than world cup fans. We also got a new camera so here Joseph and Kash are on sunday morning 6-13 trying it out with some new poses! how come kids have to be such stinkers when really they are so fun and cute???

 

Justins Birthday 6-12-2010

Ok so this post is more for me and the purposes of keeping the blog updated to someday do a book/journal.  on Justins Birthday we had alot of fun!  we made him a birthday cake as a joint effort .  Morgan slept over and the next morning PJ woke up so excited!!  He came running into our room and was so excited to wake us up… Its JJ’s birthday! he said and was so thrilled…he had a great idea to make him a pinata.  so he rounded up some candy and a box and all by himself made a pinata.  We took it and our cake and icecream to the cemetary and celebrated the day.  It started to rain on us, but overall was a great day filled with many old and many new memories.

Do you think they 2were a little tired?
