We are out of the sickness slump!!!! Woohoo!!!! What a HUGE relief! My kids have been sick for about the last month, and now we are all healthy! Since we have been healthy for a few days, and the weather has been amazing (minus the couple rainy days) I have been trying to get the kids out a bit. Yesterday we went for a walk/jog. It felt so good to jog, although I could only make it about 1/3-1/2 mile (didn't want to push myself, and having not jogged in 5 months). And the kids have been so much happier getting some fresh air. I just downloaded my pics to my computer, so these may be random, but I'm just excited to have clear pictures that I have to post them.
Last weekend we helped my sister move. Well, as much as a prego lady with 2 kids and no husband can help. Glenn has had a trillion projects due lately (so he says, hehe), so he's been gone most Saturdays. But we had the next best moving helper...Dallin. He LOVES to help people. It doesn't matter what is being done, he wants to help.
There he is taking one of his "loads" to Papa's truck. He did seem to favor moving the toys...
Papa and his beast of a truck. I think this flat-bed is now being considered the "ward moving van" since it doesn't get used for anything else. It has an automatic lift gate on the back. Pretty fun to play on.
Aubrey just kicked it enjoying the warm, beautiful day. This picture is for Brooke and Shelley. She's learning the "ugly face" at such a young age!
Later, I took the kids to the park to give Glenn some quiet study time.
She loves to play in (and eat) dirt and sand, but couldn't handle it being in her shoes. Random sidenote: Aubrey is always grooming her nails. She will come to me showing me which nail needs to be clipped, and won't stop until I fix it. She is going to be such a girl...I'm scared!!!
Having fun!! (or maybe not)
Monday for FHE treat we decided to make some cookies. Dallin LOVES to help make cookies and always pulls his little chair over to stand on. Aubs finally figured out how to get her chair over by us so she could help too. She was so proud of herself! She has helped me make pretty much every meal since. My kids are so great! I love that they love to help. Random sidenote #2: This morning I was scrubbing the kitchen floor. Aubs went and found a towel to help scrub. Dallin's favorite job is the dishes! He loves washing them, then starting the dishwasher.(after I have put them in) I hope they will always enjoy working!!!

working around the house is a novelty at these ages so it is always exciting. you never know though they might be weird kids that like to help out around the house.
your pictures are so clear and pretty...how fun!
if dallin ever runs out of dishes at your house, you are welcome to send him over here! ick dishes are the one thing i can't stand to do right now with the morning sickness...i'm SO looking forward to when Kamryn likes to help clean! :)
When we're helping we're happy and we sing as we go and we like to help Mother for we all love her so! ;o)
Glad everyone is back in good health. Viv just got Abs' cold so I'm sure we'll be out of the woods soon.
Yeah for the ugly face!!!
holy cow Dallin looks so grown up in his pictures. We would love to play sometime & hope to have some good beach play days this summer. You can be a beached whale and relax your prego body. :)
