Some Random Stuff

While we were at the park for a Ward Spring Party, Tyler fell from the monkey bars. We couldn't get him to stop crying and he kept saying that his tummy and back were hurting. We ended up leaving so Danny could take him to the doctor. They ended up at the ER where they put and IV in him and gave him a CT scan. Fortunately, there were no internal injuries and after a day of rest he was back to normal. It gave us all a good scare. He said the worst part about it was having the "nail" in his arm.

I built this lego tower with the boys one night while Danny and the girls were gone somewhere. When Ashley came home and saw it she insisted on leaving it standing. The boys immediately started throwing balls at it to knock it over and she did her best to defend it. On Monday morning, she wanted me to protect it while she was gone at school, which I told her wasn't going to happen. So we took a picture of her with the tower to remember it. As I suspected, Tyler immediately got to work knocking it down as soon as she was gone.

 Ashley loves this Target dog. Apparently Camden loves it too.

Tyler loves to help Daddy with yard work. I couldn't resist taking this picture when I caught him helping Danny mow the lawn.

This was just a cute picture that Danny sent me of the girls. It is a rare occasion to see them getting along well enough to be this close together and smiling. Definitely worth documenting.

The kids love to go for a ride in the back of Daddy's truck. They went out on Sunday night for a drive around the neighborhood and Danny took this picture of them.

 Ashley came home from school a couple of weeks ago with a little bag of red chalk dust. She told me that they had learned about India in class that day and were given the chalk because one of the ways they celebrate stuff in India is by throwing chalk up in the air and letting it rain all over you. I guess I already knew about this tradition since they have the Color Festival down in Spanish Fork every year and I have seen pictures of people that had gone(covered in colorful chalk). Ashley decided that it would be fun to share the experience with her brothers(including the one that walks on 4 legs). As a result, we had a surprise bath night shortly after the chalk raining fun.

Alyssa is also in the middle of soccer season with Danny as her coach. I will try to get some better pictures at her next games to post. They are having fun with it.
