Grandma's Veil

We were at my parents house going through their wedding stuff...their 50th anniversary is in a couple of weeks....and we found the box with my mom's veil in it.  Courtney put it on.  I thought it held up really well for being 50 years old.  We also pulled out her wedding dress to look at it and it wasn't yellowed at all.  What fun!!

Galaxy Soccer

Courtney's soccer team has car decals.  Our neighbor does this so the coach had me order a bunch of them and we put them on the van and the truck.  We are proud of our Galaxy FC soccer girl!

Fishing with Grandpa

During Spring Break Grandpa Oman took Ethan fishing at Enterprise.  They had great luck and caught 4 large fish (2 each).  When they came back to our house they had to gut them...in my kitchen sink.  Ethan can gut the fish by himself but the fish were sliding all over the counter...one even fell on the floor.  It was crazy with all these guts all over the place but he got the job done.  I do not gut fish so it's nice that Ethan is willing to do it.







Here is the video of him gutting a fish:

My New Toy

I wanted a rototiller for my birthday.  Maybe it was a strange request but it's what I wanted.  Bryan's parents pitched in.  It took me a couple of months to do research and find one that I wanted and thought would do a good job.  I finally bought one and was so excited to get working in the dirt.  We got the garden spot ready in 1/4 of the time and the garden is planted.  I am very happy with my birthday present.

Courtney has Contacts!

Since the doctor told Courtney that she didn't need her bifocals anymore she has struggled with wearing her glasses.  They also get in the way when she dances and plays soccer so we decided to let her try contacts....she LOVES them!  I think the doctor was a little nervous because she looks a lot younger than she is because she is so small.  But she was ready and is able to take care of them.  She has daily contacts so she just throws them away every night.  She doesn't have to clean them or anything which cuts down on problems.

It's been a bit of a rough go trying to figure out how to get them in each morning but she is getting really good at it.  She is so happy being able to see all the time.  She says she didn't realize how badly she was seeing because she wasn't wearing her glasses.  She is one happy girl!

Ethan's Choir Concert

Ethan had a patriotic choir concert.  He wasn't very excited about it but we were excited to watch him sing.  Courtney had a soccer game so Bryan took care of her while I took care of getting Ethan to the Tabernacle on time for the concert.  There were a lot of people there so I was happy I got there so early and saved seats.  They were turning people away because it was max capacity in the building.

Ethan is on the back row, third boy from the left.

Bryan took a video of one of the songs and Ethan wasn't happy with the hand gestures and the dance steps his teacher had them do. Poor guy! But it was pretty hilarious for us to watch. hehehe!

Ping Pong Table

I always wanted a ping pong table when I was a kid.  I have been saving money and watching sales and decided I was going to buy one.  It was a massive ordeal getting it home.  I asked the man at the store to measure the table so we could make sure it would fit in Bryan's truck but he said "I have never seen a truck this ping pong table wouldn't fit in."  Well, he now has because it would't fit in the truck.  We ended up unboxing the table, pulling up one side of the camper shell and then tying things together.  It was a mess but I got the table home.

Bryan, Ethan, Courtney and I spent the next few days putting it together.  But once it was together we had a lot of fun playing on it.  The kids are loving it.  Now we just need to finish our basement. ;)
