Pine Wood Derby

This is our first Pine Wood Derby we were so excited. Jarod, Davis, and Blake did an awesome police car. Jarod used a scale that once was used for weighing drugs, the paint job was a great one we were ready to race. So last Tuesday night we were so excited to go to the Chruch and try out the FAST police car.



When we got to the Church we weighed Davis' car on the scale and... it doesn't weigh enough (that drug dealer was ripping people off) so we improvised a little. I took out my gum we put it on the car with a quarter stuck to the top. Now I mentioned that this was our first car and apparently there are some secrets that Jarod was not aware of. Our car was not the fastest, or even in the top three which is good because I didn't know if you win it goes to the stake level. By the time the Twins have to do this Jarod will know all the secrets.

The Twins

This is a sun tent that my friend gave to me. We use it when we go to the beach and the park. It is awesome!

Blakes Baseball

There is nothing better at the end of the season then to get a trophy! Blake had his last T-Ball game on Saturday it only lasted 1 inning and then broke into a Easter Egg Hunt. After the Egg Hunt was over the team got together to hand out the trophy's, candy leis, and pictures. Blake is pictured with his three coaches the head coach is John and the phrase you hear him say the most is PAY ATTENTION!!! What do you expect they are 5 years old. Blake had a great time playing and he is really good can't wait until next year!

The Bleaks visit

The Bleaks came to visit us in March 09. We had so much fun with them. We went to Ko Olina, played on the beach, swam, and watched the sunset.
We barried all the kids in the sand, it is a lot easier to watch them that way.











Jarod and Mike giving the SHOCKER! (I know it looks like they are holding hands but their not).
We all had fun at the PCC. This is our favorite place there it is Samoa. In Samoa the ice cream is free but the spoon will cost you $5.00 my kids think that is so funny and still say it all the time. Jarod and Mike went golfing at Turtle Bay and they had so much fun. We had a great time with the Bleaks and can't wait for them to come back to visit us.

They look so innocent

They look so innocent don't they?











Well their not... I went upstairs to shower and forgot to put the garbage up so they couldn't get it. I came back down to check on them. I turned the corner at the stairs and saw the destruction. I had just thrown away 3/4 of a chocolate cake, there was french toast, plastic and paper all over the Twins and all over the floor.





They had chocolate cake all over themselves and I mean all over. It was massed in their fingers and toes. When I saw the mess I screamed "What the HELL!!!" and Cache started crying. I thought I would have to call Jarod home to help but come on I CAN DO THIS!

I carried Clay upstairs and put him in an empty tub, ran back down to get Cache, ran back upstairs put him in the tub. I just ran the water and it was brown. I had to soap and scrub the frosting off of them. When they were all cleaned up I took them downstairs and put them in the highchairs until the mess was all sparkly clean.

It took me about 45 min to accomplish this.

Pictures of the babies

Another picture of Clay on the stairs asleep. The bottom one is Cache sacked out by the couch.

The other day, I came down stairs from taking a shower and found Clay asleep on the stairs. He is so sweet!

Blake received an award for being an Academic Student of the semester. He is doing so well in Kindergarten and he loves his teacher. They really push the kids here and I love it. Blake can read and write sentences very well. He likes to play hopscotch and he can hula hoop. I think his favorite is to chase the girls at recess with Eric. I know that the girls love it, although they call each other the arch enimee.

Valentines

Blake and I made Valentine Cookies last Saturday. Blake did an awesome job frosting and adding the sprinkles. Then We went to the park and practiced baseball met some of our friends there and went out to dinner. We had a great Valentines Day.

I was going to enter the Twins into Regis and Kellys beautiful baby search but... on the last day I forgot.

When I was a kid

Blake was playing in the backyard with friends today, they were playing with all the toys and Mater from "Cars" the movie made a noise Eric asked "what is that?" Blake said "oh that was mine when I was a kid" Eric said "you are a kid".

Holy Toleedo

No it was a tornado. Yes that is right, I walked to school like everyday to pick up Davis and Blake. Well the sky turned black and the thunder crashed (which never happens here) and there was lightning. When it was time for the school bell to ring the VP got on the intercom and told all of the kids that it was going to start raining and to just go home right away. Davis got out of his class and then we got Blake, our friend was teaching in the next class so we went to talk to her for a minute, her boys and Davis went out side and they saw two funnel clouds and one touched. We watched the news and sure enough about 10 min from our house was a tornado. Crazy crazy that almost never happens in Utah.

So it seems like every year around this time Davis and I are sad. It is the annual Bret Favre retirement day. This year is different though, I do believe that this one is for real. We will miss watching him play every Sunday. I am glad that the Jets did better this year than the Packers however, I want him to retire as a Packer and go into the Hall as a Packer. Brett you will be missed thank you for all the times.
Umm... yes, I was more sad the day that Elway retired. He is my football hero.

Blakes first T-ball Game

So its not really T-ball like we all know it. Each kid gets 3 pitches by the Coach, if they can't hit the ball they use the T. I really like this, it gets the kids ready for Coach pitch. Blake never used the T and his first up to bat he hit the ball hard it hit the pitcher in the head and then went out into the outfield (sorry little pitcher). He played pitcher with another boy and a lot of outs (but nobody is really out). He had so much fun and really loved to play he can't wait for the next game.

Late night

The last week we had a late night with Eric and his Sister Dara they watched Star wars, played Wii, and ate cupcakes. It works out well Blake and Eric are best friends and Davis and Dara have a lot of the same interest.

8 Months

Cache and Clay are 8 Months old today. They are so much fun to have in our house we can't imagine life without them. Davis and Blake are having fun with them too.

Clay is CRAWLING all over the house. He goes everywhere I have to put him in his swing so that I can sweep and mop it makes him so mad. He can't miss anything, he is such a cutie. He will crawl to the back door to watch the Boys play in the back yard.

Cache is not quit ready to craw he is so sweet. He sucks his thumb all the time, and is always so happy. He lights up when you talk to him. When Clay crawls out of his sight he screams at him it is so funny. I don't know what I will do when they can walk. They both weigh just over 20 lbs.
