Dallin's Predicament

So here is a little background:

Mindy-16 

Babysitter from Rexburg, ID

Ever since we moved to Rexburg, ID, Dallin has been in love with Mindy. He always said he was going to marry her. (For those of you who know Michael, you know what's really going to happen!!) When we moved to Utah, Dallin had a very hard time leaving her and wanted to call her all the time. A little while ago, he started to ask about her...A LOT!!

Hailey-5

Friend 

Hailey lives down the street and Jenn's (one of my girlfriends) daughter. When she and Dallin play together, there is never any fighting, crying, or getting mad. They play awesome with each other. A couple days ago, we were doing Dallin's birthday party invites and he was writing his friend's names on the envelope and putting the invites in and sealing them. After dropping them off, we had Hailey's to give her. I had it in my hand and felt that it was a little thicker. He had put a piece of gum in hers and only hers. My initial thought was, "Oh no....another crush." I asked him about it and he said, "Cos I like Hailey!"

Where the predicament occurs: 

A couple days ago, I was helping Jenn pack for a cruise she and her hubby are going on for a couple weeks. Dallin and Kailee came with me to play/entertain Hailey and Weston (hailey's lil bro). Jenn and I were talking and in comes Hailey looking very sad. She looked at me and said with a serious face, "I need to talk to you" and she led me into her mom's room. The girl had my full attention. She said,"Dallin has another girlfriend. He told me her name is Mindy" in her saddest voice. I knelt down to look her in the eyes and she finished by saying,"He just broke up with me!!" As she THREW herself on her mom's bed covering her face. I had no idea what to do except what I normally tell my kids when there is a problem. I called Dallin upstairs and told him that they needed to work it out. It was all I could do to keep a straight face. I then told Jenn and we both lost it. What are we to do?

NKOTB

THEY ARE BACK!!!

So on the Today show this morning, New Kids on the Block were on. They are reuniting, recording a new album and plan to go on tour!!!! I remember crying when they broke up. Too bad I didn't keep all my memorabilia of them, although I think my parents still have my NKOTB board game. And as I type this, I am seriously downloading their music. So who is game on taking a road trip with me when I find out where their concert is going to be?????

Girl's (CRAZY) Weekend

When you need your girls, they are always there...especially when it involves getaways!

3 of my girlfriends and I took the night off of being "mommy, wife, maid, cook, CEO, and chauffeur" and just had fun. We stayed at the fun Hotel Monaco. It was pretty fab!

When I checked us into the hotel, I mentioned that we were here for Girl's Weekend and the lady upgraded our room to the 12th floor with a fantastic view.

Without fun camera memories (some will not be shared...lol), what is a Girl's Weekend?

Between telling our secrets (some that slipped out), girly talk, food, shopping, cameras, late nights, late night strolls in downtown SLC, and pure comedy, we are so ready for another one. Thank goodness for good girlfriends!

Disclaimer: More pictures were taken, but we figured what happened at Hotel Monaco stays at Hotel Monaco (and in our personal photo albums) wink wink

From the mouths of babes

Kids Always say the funniest things. Earlier this week, I was brushing Kailee's hair and we had a cute 4 line conversation:

Me: Kailee, is this candy in your hair?

Kailee: No, it's buggers.

Me: Why do you have buggers in your hair?

Kailee: When I woke up, I bless youed and got buggers all over my hair.

(Bless youed in this case means: sneezed)

Tonight while I was making dinner, Dallin asked me to sing a song. After I sang to him, I asked him to sing one to me. He started to sing I am a Child of God (a children's LDS church song). For those you who don't know the words, here is the first verse:

I am a child of God, and he has sent me here,

Has given me an earthly home, with parents kind and dear.

Dallin's song:

I am a child of God and he has sent me here,

Has given me an earthly home with parents kinda weird.

He then continued to the chorus thinking those are the words.

As most parents do, I think my children are funny...as do they!

Our California Trip

            Just a few of the many pictures we took when we were in CA.

Beach anyone?

If you need me, this is where I will be...

We leave for So Cal tomorrow! We are anxious to visit family, see the sun for 3 days in a row, and maybe get a tan!! It has been a year since we have been, so it will be fun to see our family and friends.  New posts will be up when we get back!! Happy Easter!

Another tag

Just when I thought I did my duty...thanks, Kayla! Here we go again!!

What I was doing...

20 Years ago/March 1988- 6 years old. I don't even know. Probably chasing my dog Tippy around and playing hide and seek with Sean Forge and Tommy Webster (random to remember huh? my mom and her friends used to take turns watching each others kids after school).

10 Years ago/March 1998-Oh my gosh....just turned 16, so failing my drivers test for going too slow..LOL, having my first legal boyfriend, enjoying that fact that I was "16" woohoo.

5 Years ago/March 2003- Married for 1 1/2 years, 37 weeks prego with Dallin, and working at Artco in the Personal Touch department.

3 Years ago/March 2005- Dallin was almost 2...so taking him to the ER when he burnt his hand on our stove, Kailee was learning how to walk, going to school at BYU-I and Gus was finishing his 2nd year of interior design.

1 year ago/March 2007- In sunny CA having fun, still going to school at BYU-I, preparing for Gus' graduation, wondering if we were going to live in ID, Las Vegas, or Utah, and 7 months prego with Tylie.

So Far This Year- Moved to South Jordan UT (made amazing friends and completely miss my friends in ID), Dallin and Kailee in preschool, Tylie still not crawling, though she rocks like crazy, and Gus loving his job at FFKR Architects. Nothing really exciting other than that.

 

Yesterday- Tylie took a 3 hour nap, watched Wedding Crashers, went to IKEA for lunch and shopping, checked out our friends new granite counter, night out with Nichole: dinner at Pei Wei, quick shopping at the mall, then hanging out at her house till after midnight!! 

Today- So far, Gus taking a test for REED certification, showered, actually fixed a hot breakfast for my kids (I know...crazy huh? They were kinda waht was going on too) gave Ty a bath, put her down for a nap, my girlfriends girls are over playing, and blogging. Its only 10:45 in the morning, so many other things are still ahead. Maybe shopping for the CA trip and a cute purse and shoes???

Tomorrow- Gus teaching a lesson in Sunday School, making announcements in RS, YW, and Primary, and Nursery, calling my sister to make sure she is ok because her husband leaves for New Jersey (4 weeks) to train for a 6 month military duty in Iraq, and hopefully having a lazy Sunday other than that. 

This Year- Dallin turns 5 and starts Kindergarten, Kailee turns 4 and starts Pre-K, Ty turns 1 and will hopefully get more than 1 tooth, walk and talk, leave for CA in 5 days!!!, and have a fun family adventure.

Tagging- I tag anyone who wants to do this. It is actually fun to think about what you were doing. Good times!!
