Here is what we've been up to this last week. We found the house I wanted - it was perfect for me. It had a great yard, huge house, good neighborhood came with a hot tub, had an exercise room - I could go on and on. We looked at it on Tues. evening, made an offer Wed. morning and found out that had received a substantially higher offer the day before. :( We were at the highest we could offer so there really wasn't anything we could do. So the house is gone, I am still sad and now compare all the houses we look at to that house. It will take me a little while to get over this loss. SO the house hunt continues.
Kade has started playing baseball games. He has 2 games a week and is on a really good team for the first time ever! He plays machine pitch and his team won both games last week by a long ways. On Friday nights game Kade hit the ball everytime up to bat and on his second time up he hit a line drive out to right field and nailed the right fielder (who was not really paying attention) right in the arm and he fell to the ground crying as Kade rounded first base. Everyone on our team was cheering and kept telling Kade to keep running. He made it to third - but could have had a homerun if he was a little faster. :) He was so excited he got a triple.
I spent 1/2 day Thursday and Friday down in Provo with my sister and her mother in law at Women's Conference. We had a good time. There were 15,000 women there and it is so interesting to watch them all. We'll all be in the Marriott Center for the opening session and the General RS presidency is talking about how wonderful and great the church's humanitarian services are and showing video of the help we provided in Haiti, Chile and Samoa. So you are sitting there thinking - wow, the church is so great. RS women do so much to help and are so kind and good. Then the session ends and you go to break out classes and the women turn ruthless. Everyone is running and pushing and yelling at others to get into the class they want. No one obeys traffic rules - women are just running wildly across the streets with no regard to the cross walk or traffic. It was crazy - but entertaining! In the closing session Elder Oaks and his wife spoke. I broke off about 1/2 of my back molar eating Kettle Korn. So now I get to spend some time at the dentist tomorrow.
Ty lost his second tooth last night. Both permanent teeth have started coming in before the baby teeth came out, so it is good to have them out and not have two rows of teeth on the bottom.
We spent the afternoon yesterday at Lagoon with our friends. The boys are getting more brave every time we go. While my friend and I were on Wicked and the husbands were watching the kids, Ty ran and got into a line and on a ride that looked innocent enough and Rich didn't know what the ride did. Ty was the only kid to get in line and get on the ride. Once the ride started our friend said to Rich, "I can't believe he'd want to go on that ride." Rich said, why what does it do?? Our friend told Rich that it spins around until it goes upside down. There are no seat belts and just bars on the side of the cars to keep you in. Rich said Ty, who is my most scared kid on rides, was scared to death. He had completely flattened himself on his back and was hanging on to the bars so tight. When the ride stopped, Ty was crying and told Rich he thought he was going to go into outer space. :)
We are going out to Trent and Kylie's this afternoon to have a BBQ with them and Brad and Ali's family.
She wanted to take us out to dinner at Red Robin with the birthday money she received from Todd's aunts. We went ahead a let her :)
In other news, we will be blessing Grant Carver on June 20th - Father's Day. Our sacrament meeting is at 11am. If you can make it, we'd love to have you come! We also had a good time at dinner for Dad's 60th birthday. Pictures to come soon...
I really wish I would have gotten cute baby pics like this of the girls. It was too much fun.
