The Zoo With Grandma

Grandma came to Salt Lake to pick up a few things. We all love having her here and spending time together. On Saturday, before she headed home we watched Tydon's soccer game, the girls had a little pampering time, and then we went to the zoo with the Merrill Clan. Here are a few photo's from our trip to the zoo!!

Bare Esssentials

At dinner tonight I was giving Heath a hard time about trying to grow out his hair. He was in the awful looking "frow" stage. So then Taylee and Tydon both started teasing Heath about the Hair on his face. They kept asking him to shave. I just kept my mouth shut and kept laughing it up. They told him they wanted to see what he would look like without hair on his face. So after 10 minutes of going back and forth, Heath told the kids if they would clean up dinner, he would shave. Funny Kids jumped right up and took our plates, turned on the music, and cleaned up the table, put the extra potatos in the fridge, started the dish washer, and swept the floor. Man, they really wanted Heath to get rid of his hair. The Kids Did a great job cleaning up, bribery does work!!
The Big Reveal!
AGHHHHHH! Heath looks so clean and like he is 12!
Even Kamdon was curious about his new look!

Run Forest, Run

Taylee and Her Running Buddies
"RUN FOREST ,RUN!"
THE END

On Thursday, the school had their first ever Fun Run Fundraiser! The kids had a great time running the 2.1 mile trail through the subdivision! It was a huge deal ... they even had the police excorting and blocking roads! They were exhausted! I enjoyed my station cheering on the kids and blocking off the road and Heath enjoyed cheering on the kids and taking their photo's at the end! Great Job!

What's a couple more ...

So I started watching a couple of extra kids today! It seemed to go pretty smoothly! At first my day was dragging and I kept wondering what the heck I was going to do. Silly enough, I actually found myself getting things around this house a little organized, I got a little cleaning and wash in, and I took a nap when all the kids were sleeping. I think once I get in this routine we have to have, I will be good. I am sure looking forward to a paycheck and can't wait to get some bills off my shoulders!!

I Am A Child Of God

We had our Primary Program Today! Both Taylee and Tydon had a speaking part and did a great job! Heath, Kamdon, and I got to sit with our CTR 5 class on the stage! (A friend came and grabbed Kyler from me when she saw that we were going to be on the stage ... he was a good boy and took a nap! Thanks, Angela!!) It is always great to feel the spirit the kids bring to sacrament meeting!

We wish you all could have been there with us!
