Trent Turned 26!!





We celebrated Trent's birthday at a party for both him and his mom. Her birthday is the 16th, she turned the big 50. The party was at Rod & Camille's house. I made better than anything cake. It is sooooo good. I look a little funny in this pic of holding the cake. I was trying to motion how to blow to Evelyn...he he. He got an SKS gun from his parents, pretty stoked about it. I (along with a few family members) got him a Total Gym XLS machine. It was a graduation/birthday present. I planned for months to get it for him. He had no idea what it was. I went out on a limb ordering it....I was wondering if he would love it....HE IS SO EXCITED AND HAPPY I GOT IT. HE REALLY WANTS TO WORK OUT HERE, AND WELL NO GYM...SO IT'S PERFECT. It is now in our exercise room. It was a great bday celebration. Happy Birthday Trent, glad you caught up to my age once again.

3)Evelyn turned 3 yesterday and we had a very fun day in St. George to celebrate.
4)Took Evelyn to Claire's to get her ears pierced....and TADA she now wears earrings and its adorable. She was so brave, cried after for a little bit but is so proud of her new sparkly earrings. Doesn't like them so much when I have to put the cleaner on them and twist her earrings though.
5)Trent and I talked in church today, our talks went well but the girls were giving everyone a show. Evelyn ran up when I was speaking and wanted me to hold her. So, I did and then she was pushing the mic down and trying to flip the pages of my Ensign magazine. Then Lyla was screaming it was sooo tough. We were glad this day was over.
6)Ate at Wingers for Evelyn't bday and it was super good. I had a chicken taco that was too die for. I was in heaven.

The Weekly Ten

1) Evelyn got over her UTI and is finally using the toilet again.
2) Trent & I can't stay up past 9:30 here. He gets up so early for work & I don't get to sleep in like I used to. So, ya...maybe its the heat to because Evelyn is back to naps during the day. She was off of those for a while. With all the space she has running around here she really wears herself out.
3)Taught my first pilates class Monday night and it went really well. I had about 8-9 girls show up. It was so fun to teach. I don't think the air was on in the room however and well, it was boiling hot up there. Seriously, way too hot and no air flow.
4)Felt sick the next day after my class with either the flu or heat exhaustion.
5)Have been killing bugs nonstop, picking up dead bugs nonstop. Did I mention I hate all the spiders, large Mosquito things, and the big cockroaches we have....WELL I DO!
6)Lyla used to be so terrified of the vacuum but now she crawls after it every time I vacuum. It's like they are best friends. Pretty funny to watch.
7)Went out to eat at Inside Scoop just our family tonight it was lovely. I love that place. I always get the Veggie Sandwich it is so yummy.
8)I think I have managed to kill all of my rose bushes already. We have been here what two weeks. I didn't give them any water until today and well, life have been so crazy busy. They were the last things on my mommy brain.
9)This whole week we have had workers pounding and sawing and well whatever it is they do...on the part of our house we are just dying to get done. They only speak Spanish and well I have been hiding out from them and avoiding making eye contact. You know how it's just weird when you run into anyone working on your house. And it's not like I could/would make conversation with them anyways.
10)Trent hooked up our water to our new refriguator that has a water & ice despenser. Oh ya we are loving it. Best part is its low enough for Evelyn to reach it but has a lock button on it. Ya that would get pretty messy!
*Bonus: Lyla had the poopiest diaper of the century yesterday. We were driving home from the post office. I could smell what had just happened. So, raced home to see the damage. Oh man, I opened up the door and well, she just smiled like always. All over her belly, yellowness and poop city. I picked her up to discover that well, it was all over her seat, and the best part as I am carrying her into the house, poop is splattering all over the pavement. This one deserved an award I am afraid. he he.
