Football Star

So you know how Aaron likes to go to the park and throw the football into the basket ball hoop? Well last night we went to McQueen park. He was trying to find a new way to throw it into the hoop. So he decided he wanted to throw it with his left hand... So here is the video. Oh and this was his first try!

Kid and Miner boy!

Kid



Miner Boy


So this weekend, Aaron and I babysat his nephews Kid (his real name is Denali, but he hates being called Denali) and Miner. They are so cute! Denali is four and Miner is 18 months. It was so fun. Aaron and I got to play mom and dad for the weekend.

They arrived Saturday morning at 6:00 a.m. We got them breakfast and put in a movie. Also on Saturday's, Aaron and I watch his bosses kids. 7:15 came a lot faster than we thought. Time moves a lot faster when you have kids to deal with. So we had to rush to Aaron's work to pick up the other two children, Tallin and Presley. Tallin is 3 and Presley is a darling 6 months. We brought them all back to our house and watched more movies. Baby Miner and Presley sure loved each other, probably because Miner has never been around girls. She would sit in her little pink seat and Miner would do things to show off for her. Tallin and Kid were content with watching the Disney classics Aladdin and Toy Story.

Aound 1, we took Presley and Tallin back to their mother and we took Miner boy and Kid to the park. Since it was Saturday, other little people were there so they had a blast making some new friends. One friend we had to warm up to though. Kid started to play with a little boy about his age and then all the sudden the boy was throwing plastic golf balls at Kid and kid was having no part in that. Well, the little boy threw one too many golf balls because one spacked me right in the face. Aaron made sure that that little boy didn't throw any more golf balls at us. The boys continued to play and it was a perfect day to be at the park.

Later that night, we went to Dan and Tawni Ballards reception and saw a lot of old friends we have not seen in awile. Their reception was at a beautiful home with a wonderful backyard that was perfect for a reception. As we were talking with the Tilley's, by all the food, Kid decided that he wanted to be sick and he threw up all of his lunch in front of everyone. It was a complete shock to us. He had never mention that he was sick or feeling ill but the mac and cheese decided it wanted to join the party. I was so embarrassed! Aaron grabbed him quickly and ran him to the rocks where he continued his throwing up. The best part of the story was that after he was done throwing up, he ate a whole bag of candy and played with all the other kids at the reception. Aaron hosed down the throw up while others continued to stock up on noodles and italian sausage. The rest of night went well and the reception was beautiful.

We attempted church on Sunday with the boys, but Miner started screaming bloody murder in the middle of sacrament so we left after the first hour. Miner was not having a good day, he always wanted to be held and snuggled. It was good for me because I love when babies are cuddly. That night, Miner woke up twice so I got a real taste of what it's like to get no sleep! We also woke up to find that Kid had thrown up again but this time he made it to the trash can. The boys left Monday morning around 10 o'clock.

Yuma/San Diego

This last weekend Aaron and I went to Yuma to visit his mom. I've never seen her house before and we both were not working so we decided to go down there. We left Friday morning at about nine and arrived at noon. Well the drive was long and boring I slept some of the way. Poor Aaron I always leave him alone on long car rides (even though we've only been on 3). It still feels weird to go on a trip with a boy and your parents know and it's totally aloud. haha :) We had so much fun on Friday when we got there we went to lunch and then to the old jail.











On Saturday Aaron and I decided we wanted to go to San Diego (it's only 2 1/2 hours away). So we left Saturday morning. We wanted to go to the Temple really bad so we decided to go there first and then go eat lunch on the beach after. The Temple is SO beautiful! When you walked in you just had to stop and stare at every detail. Aaron and I couldn't get over how pretty it was! Our goal in life is to visit all the temple in the US so far we've been to the Mesa, Newport Beach and San Diego. The next one we want to go to is the Las Vegas temple.















So after the temple we went to the beach but silly me forgot the camera in the car and it was too far away to walk back. :( So after we ate and shopped we drove back to Yuma and got back around 9 p.m. We were so worn out we just went to bed. The next day we had a big Sunday breakfast. We slowly got ready and went to a swap meet. They had some pretty good stuff there. Aaron found a store with all these shirts that he loves. He talked his mom into buying some for him they are really cute. So now Aaron and I are going to try to find a swap meet out here.We had such a good time.
