Kids art show.

The kid school did an art show to show us everything they worked on all year. They were so excited to go and show us anything they even got to make a butterfly mask.

 

Spring sports

The kids have been itching to get back in sports so i signed them up. Enslie did soccer and Korbyn did t-ball Erilyn wants to get back in swimming this summer and opted not to play a sprig sport.

Spring in Utah is very temperamental and this was one of Enslies games!! They played thru it! Hail and all!

Korbyns friend Katelyn played to but they were not an the same team her parents brought snakes to the games and the kids had fun holding them with i stayed far away!!

 

Stitches again!?

On may 11th Erilyn was fallowing behind me one day at the school along the fence dragging her fingers along it. Her ring got caught on the fence the adjustable thing came apart on it and stabbed her hand. She ran up to me yelling "MOM, MOM, MOM!" Once I saw her hand she started crying. Her teacher was already out they had actually earned 5 extra min. So I told her teacher what happened and we headed to the office. I was in mom mode so didn't say anything on the radio, so the office lady was very surprised to see us and all the blood pooling in her other hand. She got it cleaned up while she did that I grabbed my purse and clocked out because I was almost positive she needed stitches.

Here it is all cleaned up waiting at urgent care I just took her to the closest one down the street from us. They got us all checked in then told us it was going to be at least a 2 hour wait! But also said they would send a nurse out to make sure was ok to wait and for sure needed stitches. They said that yes she needed them and thought she could wait as long as she wasn't feeling nauseous or in to much pain witch she wasn't. At this point its hitting me that i haven't eaten lunch and waiting 2 hours doesn't sound fun so we went to the pharmacy in the urgent care and i got sun chips, a protein pack, and a water bottle Erilyn didn't have an apatite. I ate that and waited the 2 hours with Erilyn i gave her my phone to play on while we waited.

Almost exactly 2 hours and we were back in our room waiting to get stitches they were quick getting her all cleaned up stitched and were happy she had recently gotten a tetanus shot (that's a story for another time) She ended up with 4 stitches on her left ring finger, and we were on our way.

This is what it looked like 10 days later when she got her stitches out. They said its healing nicely and they don't think she will have any issues with it in the future they said that she doesn't have to keep it covered any more but she is more comfortable with a bandaid on it still. The really hard thing with all of this has been that she is left handed so doing school work and even doing up her pants has been hard for her not to mention trying to keep it dry while showering and doing just about anything. I have been having to help her with alot more lately and I think she is ready to have her independence back.

 

Easter 2022

We colored eggs the Friday before Easter I only got a few pictures but the kids had alot of fun!

Getting ready for the annual sleep over in the tv room.

These eggs say WAIT FOR EVRYONE.

Their baskets with their first clues by them.

This note was at the top of the stairs!

The kids put out water and carrots for the Easter bunny this year it looks like she liked it!

The first note waiting at the top of the stairs.

1 sleeping kiddo, 2 sleeping kiddo....

3!

Our bathroom was a popular spot for clues!!

Most of Korbyns hual.

Erilyns stuff.

And Enslies

Once all of their clues led to outside we had them wait for a bit. They were up every hour starting at 2 am and we gave in at 6am. So we told them to play with what they had and eat something for breakfast before they could go outside. They all got an Easter outfit, mystery ball, fidgets, and candy.... to start.

Once it was light outside and they had eaten something they found 3 more clues outside some bird house kits for all of them, chalk, a bike lock and lastly the girls got new bikes and Korbyn got a new basketball hoop.

Erilyns bird house she made.

All ready in her Easter outfit.

This beauty to!

Sometimes they like each other!

and cant forget this handsome boy!

Her mystery ball and a few fidgets she took to church.

This is what happens your sisters wake you up at 2 am!

Time for chalk!

And breaking in the new bikes.

Also building a new basketball hoop! Luckily it was a warm day!

Korbyn helped a little bit but got bored. It took Travis and I 2 hours to build!

all done!

The eggs were pretty cute!!

A few of the hints the kids had to find their stuff they were excited that they got to do a hunt again they couldn't do hunts for a few years due to covid. They were a little extra spoiled but bikes and a basketball hoop were all long over due. Enslie was still riding an 18inch and her new one is a 24 inch! Erilyn was riding a big ball of rust the neighbor gave us a few summers ago, and the basketball hoop was falling apart... literally! It was a fun Easter spent with family and that's what matters most!
