More Soccer
Burnt Cookies
How come no matter what it always seems like I burn the last batch of cookies. GRRR-So Frustrating.
I think it's because when I first start out I am focused on baking and then by the end I have so many other things that have come up or that I start working on that I just end up spacing it-even when I set a timer!!!

Visit to the Dentist
Last Thursday the kids and I had our semi-annual dentist visit. This was to be Bryce's first official visit. We had been practicing with him for a few days talking about the dentist and having him open up and say AHHH. When we got there we were able to get him to sit in the chair. When they started to clean his teeth I had to hold him, but he let them brush them without to much fuss. He would not however let them count them-haha. They said he did great for a first visit.
The rest of us came away with good reports-no cavities for anyone. The two older kids were super pleased with their reward of a free cookie dough from Papa Murphy's certificate and had me stop by on the way home to redeem them.

Early Out School Days-Jumping Jacks Fun
All last week Chloe got out of school early every day, so she had lots of free time to play. One day I took her and Brydee and the babies to Jumping Jacks. Even though they didn't stay long they had a blast and wore themselves out.
Triple Fun or Triple Threat

Soccer-Triple 3
Saturday Chloe had her third soccer game of the season. Her team pulled off another win 6-1 and yes miss Chloe managed to score another goal this game. She is loving it and loving the team she is on.One of her friends from Hurricane was on the other team-they were both surprised to see each other on the field.
Third Game, Third Win, Third Goal-Triple 3.
Dixie Round-Up Rodeo 2014
The Dixie Round-Up Rodeo is a big event in St. George. Every year Chloe gets so excited to go-if only she could have been a cowgirl she would have-alas the stars just didn't align right for her ;)
Her cousin Makele was in town for the day so she went with us as did her best friend Brydee.
Tanner doesn't really like rodeos so him and Jack opted to stay home-with a redbox movie, treats and a Slurpee from the gas station.
The Cute Girls-waiting for the Rodeo to start.
At the beginning of the rodeo they announced that there was one program signed by the rodeo commissioner and whoever had it could come sit in the best seats in the house for the night (they were a couple of lazy-boy recliners in a really great location). Well my Grandma Angie just happened to have that program-she was working in one of the vendor booths so she brought it over to Landon and I and told us to enjoy.
Here we are in the "best seats in the house".
Look at the excitement in Bryce's eyes he absolutely loved the rodeo and all of the animals. He was so animated and tried his hardest to stay awake during the whole thing, but he ended up falling asleep a few seconds before the bull riding began (the last event).
It was a fun and memorable night!

Friday Fun Day
Friday we had a few cousins come to town, plus Chloe's BFF was over for the day. We set up the slip n slide and had several other neighbor kids come over and join in the fun. It was mass chaos!!! Bryce and Preslie were right in the middle of all the craziness and I just kept waiting for someone to get hurt, but luckily no injuries occurred.
Lockdown
On Thursday this guy walked into the Zions Bank, which is just a couple of blocks from our house and robbed the place-he then took two hostages and led police on a chase with shooting involved. He ended up on foot out in the area of Chloe's school. Several schools were put on lock-down-Chloe's being one of them. It was stressful as we waited for word that we could go and pick up our children. I finally got the text at 5:00. (the situation was under control unfortunately the cops had to shoot the guy to get the situation dissolved). Even though I arrived just after 5:00 at her school it was 6:00 before we left there as they were going through extreme safety measures and making all parents show id to pick up their children. It ended up being a long day-Chloe wasn't happy about the extra 3 hours at school-but I was grateful that her school and the police went to such extreme measure to keep all students safe. Quite the bit of excitement for our little town.
Lizard Hunting
We usually go out to my Grandma Marshall's house at least once a week. Bryce loves going to 'MaMa's' house. His favorite thing to do there? Hunt Lizards!!! She has tons of little lizards running around outside on her walls and in the flower beds. He gets so excited every time he see's them and will chase them around. It will be interesting to see if one of these days he catches one of them.
Baby Einstein
Bryce Loves Baby Einstein Videos-any of them that are about animals that is. His favorite time of the day is quiet time when I let him lay down, give him a bottle, and let him watch the "mammals" (animals). He gets so excited as soon as he see's the little caterpillar go across the screen (it is the start of all Baby Einstein videos). He can name tons of animals-horse, donkey, cow, dog, whale, duck, lion, bear-just to name a few.
