More of May and Memorial Day

Kasen had 8 scheduled Tball games during his season.

FIVE of his games have been rained out!

The rain seriously never stops.

I thought it looked sunny one Saturday so we went to the park twice. Twice we got rained on.

But we've still been able to have some fun during this fabulous month of May.

 

Celebrated Lindsay's birthday with a nifty Kneaders breakfast,

 Took Kasen to see Ben's Land Cruiser in the UVU car show with Grandpa. In between the rain that day.

They only honked the horn about 5 times before they weren't' allowed to pretend drive in the car anymore.

 Monthly temple dates with Kyle. Make my world go round. Always love all the reminders of just how true the Church really is. As in the gospel of Jesus Christ and the Plan of Salvation.

 Then celebrated Katey's birthday with a puppy lunch date at our house!

 Tai had so much fun being upside down that she fell asleep a little bit upside down too.

 We had another puppy play date the next day and the kids were so cute each holding their own puppy. They played vet for a little while with Tai's doctor tools too. But mostly they just snuggled with them.

On Memorial Day my mom invited us up to decorate graves in Ogden. That is where her dad is buried as well as my Great Grandma and Grandpa Henderson. 

Grandma Sandy took us all out to lunch at Chuck-a-Rama afterwards.

 

 Then we had plans to go to the Pony Express Days Rodeo for the first time here in Eagle Mountain.

Right after we got to our seats for the pre-show the rain came. And then the hail. It was a freaking monsoon! Surprisingly my kids seemed content just sitting there in it too. But then it soaked through my blanket and my shirt and I was cold.

So we hurried home, changed all of our clothes, grabbed our winter coats and made it back by the time the monsoon stopped.

There is so much mud in our car, on our shoes and in our garage. Kasen was begging to go play in the mud, saying he wanted to squishy squash in it!

Kyle wanted to get the kids some cotton candy. I told him he had to clean it up.
and now he knows why I wasn't excited about buying the kids cotton candy.

The bareback horses fell down in the mud a few times, which made for a fun rodeo though.

Thanks for coming with us Jon and Sydney!

We ran into them at the park on Saturday too. The day we tried going to the park twice and got rained on twice. Jon helped Kasen fly their kite and of course Tai wouldn't leave the swing.

 We've had fun inside though playing hide-n-seek together and pretending to be robots.

We tried potty training Tai a little bit, but even though she loves wearing panties she's still not quite ready! She did good for one day, but then just pees in them and wants another pair. When we do put her diapers on she cries that she wants "mickey standing" ones and not the one with just mickey's head.

-She's terrified of ants and flies. If she thinks they will touch her she screams and cries. She's also started thinking there are monsters in her room.

-Kasen loves orange chicken, but the other day Tai was crying that she wants pink chicken, not orange chicken.

-When she knows she's about to get in trouble she covers her ears with her hands.

-I love when she gets really into what she's telling you and her eyes get super wide. So passionate!

Kasen, man he is so funny!

-Whenever he's done brushing his teeth he comes to tell me the stinky monster breath is all gone.

-When we're at the park he always lets me know when his brain is sweaty he needs to have a Popsicle when we get home.

-The other day we were eating pizza and he asked for a pizza bar. I didn't know what he wanted, but he told me it's "a rectangle shape that bounces into our mouth and we chew it and it's a stick!" Oh a bread stick!!

-We've also been talking about what is appropriate or polite to talk about so now he'll ask me if things he says are "good talk" or "bad talk" and sometimes he does "silly talk" too.

Yesterday we took Tai to the movie theater for the very first time!

A year earlier than we took Kasen, but we survived. I don't think she's ready to go again soon, but at least we didn't have to ever haul her out of the theater. She complained the whole way home that her tummy was full though. Yay popcorn.

On our way to the theater we heard Tai from the back seat say, "It's party time guys!"

Kasen did great! He was so excited that our we went on a family date. The only other time he's been to a theater is when I took him on a date to see the Grinch so now he thinks that the movie theater is a date.
