When Logan's Implant was activated ("turned on") he was given this cute Kaci Koala Bear. It comes with it's own implant, but they were out of the toy implants, so we have been waiting for it to come in the mail. Logan was so excited when it came last week. The next day, he was practicing speech with him and kept pointing at his ear, telling Kaci that he wanted to hear him speak! It also came with an extra implant for Kaci. Logan told Tanner that that was his "ear". Tanner was such a good sport and tried to wear it around his ear. Logan thought that was great.
Easter was a lot of fun. The Easter Bunny left his prints by the doorway which really excited Tanner & Logan. They all got some goodies in their baskets along with their annual Easter tie. We had dinner with our friends, the Houlbergs and an egg hunt for the kiddies afterwards! We then had a Family Home Evening on Christ's Atonement and how we all will live again. It was really great to see how well Tanner understood the concept and absorbed what we've been talking about all week. I am grateful for our Savior and the peace that comes with having the knowledge of his eternal plan for us. Hope your day was special!
Well we had a fun (LATE) St. Patty's Day. The kids woke up to green toilet water, which although I thought was a fun idea, really freaked the kids out. Then we had Lucky Charms, green eggs and green milk for breakfast. We went and got the boys some new green shirts and found that because it was after St. Patrick's Day they were only $.99 each! We then played with green Play-Doh and decorated shamrocks with stickers. For lunch we had green Tuna Fish sandwiches---does not look appetizing, not recommended--with green kool-aid. A fun day all in all and my kids had no idea I was 2 days late!
What a bad Mom I am! I totally did not know that today was St. Patrick's Day, I guess I was focusing on Easter and it just snuck on me. I usually love St. Patty's Day. I've been into it ever since my college dance team went back to Ireland and performed in the St. Patrick's Day parade. All the kids get new green shirts, we have green meals all day and I let them go to the dollar store and pick out some fun green beads or such to wear. So...don't tell my boys, but we are going to celebrate it on Wednesday...that'll give me some time to prepare! :)
So I have a problem...I know! First of all I blame my son, Logan and my doctor, Dr. Mason. Why? Well, when I was pregnant with Logan I started to get these intense headaches and Dr. Mason suggested I drink caffeinated soda to get rid of them. (See? Purely the fault of Logan and Dr. Mason). I wasn't even a big soda drinker, never had been, then I discovered D. P...I was in love and better yet, I was drinking it per my doctor! So ever since then I've been hooked. I find that I can not stay awake past 7:00 unless I've had about 12 ounces between 2 and 3 in the afternoon. I have it down to an art...More than 12 ounces or past 3:00 and I'm up all night, less than that or before 2:00--and I'm drinking worthless calories. So, why the post about a sinful drink you ask? Because I am ridding myself of it forever (or until after our cruise--whichever comes first). We are taking a cruise with all our friends from Dental school to celebrate the boys' graduation and I have been working hard to shed a few pounds before we leave. I have lost 4, and that seems all my body wants to give away, so I blame the D.P. Hopefully this will help!
I have two cell phones, one through Sprint that I use as my primary phone and a T-mobile phone that I use to talk to my family in Vegas (since that is the company they're with). On Tuesday morning my mom called me on my Sprint phone and when I asked her why she didn't call me on the other one, she said because she had just received a call from that phone from Logan's school! Huh? Logan's teacher called her thinking it was me, because the number was listed under "Mom"...are you following?
Logan just finished up his six week session of his sports class at the YMCA. Attending all of Tanner's ball games and practices have made him very eager to start something of his own. We found this class and thought it would be perfect. They learn a little bit of everything, but basketball was his favorite. I was worried how he'd do, but he did great and the coaches were very patient. The Coach told me that he had natural talent and should continue to pursue basketball... we thank his Uncle Cory and Tyler for the skills!
I'm not a huge fan of hers, but I think her show looks like a great Sunday night activity.
It's on at 9:00 pm on ABC.
