More Gymnastic Videos

Landon is so good to take videos of Chloe when he goes to pick her up from gymnastics. (I think he is one proud daddy) I'm glad he does because I am not very good at it and sometimes I miss out on things because my schedule doesn't always work for me to be there when she has learned a new skill. She is now doing a backhand-spring in class with no spot. And her latest trick two backhand-springs in a row! WOW!

Taylee Pearl

Over the weekend Chloe and I traveled up to Ogden for baby Taylee's blessing. (Landon and Tanner stayed home because Tanner had a baseball tournament.) Taylee's full name is Taylee Pearl Neuberger. When she was first born and Chloe found out her name she said "I wish we could just call her Pearl because Pearl is such a cute name".

We had a fun time. Chloe didn't want to leave. When it was finally time to go I think I had to go back into the house to bring her back to the car about 3 different times. I hardly saw her all weekend she was so busy playing with her cousins. The first night we were gone she had a sleepover with Saydee and Gavin. The second night her and Makele went and slept at aunt Shawna's house. So I was really all alone-it was a nice break, but a little too quiet. I really didn't know what to do with myself. To bad I couldn't have gotten myself to get a little of my homework out of the way.-lol.

I had to add this picture of Chloe and Camille-one of the only ones I managed to snap all weekend. Chloe loves Camille the first thing she asked when we got to Ogden is when we would see her. She kept coming and telling me Camille is so cute! She would carry her around all day long if she could.

Majors

On Tuesday Tanner had tryouts for the Majors in Little League. We found out that he made it and his team for the next few years will be the Mariners. He is pretty excited. They kind of do like a draft just like the big leagues. First they take the returning players from the year before if there were any. Then they have to put all the kids who are now twelve on the teams. Then they get to pick the 11, 10 , and 9 year olds to fill the rest of their spots. (FYI Tanner is 11). The team with the worst record from last year gets to go first, etc. until everyone has all the players the need. Anyways a little bird told us Tanner went in the first round and was about the 6th pick. That makes both his parents pretty happy-especially dad :)

Valentines

Well I'm a whole week late again on my post but here it is anyway.
The week before Valentines Day Chloe asked Landon to make her a dolphin Valentine box. My suggestion was that he just slap a few pictures of dolphins onto a shoebox and call it good. However being the Dad that he is that just wouldn't do. He went and bought the supplies to construct a paper-mache dolphin. Complete with all the features of a real dolphin including the blow hole. Chloe was so excited and so proud to take her dolphin to school on Valentines Day:) She has such a good daddy :)

Tanner gave out Mad Lib Valentines...(His said things like-I am MAD about you; You have MAD skills; I can't LIB without you) Funny story when Tanner was ready to leave for school I told him that he looked really nice and to have fun at the Valentines dance. He almost had a heart attack right there and I had to promise him there was no dance to get him out the door to school-lol. You see the sixth grade is having there first dance the last day of school and Tanner is already planning on reasons for him to not go to school that day-he really is not looking forward to it. Poor Kid.

Chloe gave out these...

Here are the ones I made for the kids I work with (Thanks Taryn for the link)...

Landon and I like to just spend Valentines at home with each other and the kids, because if you try to go anywhere it is crazy busy. So we ordered Chili's in and I made us these special treats. They were so yummy!

I love my family and my life!

Chloe's Newest Trick

She has gone from a standing back handspring to a full out running back handspring her coach says in a few more weeks she will remove the hand spot as well. Right now she is mainly doing it until she is sure Chloe will stay consistent.

Hmmm... I wonder

A few days ago I was out running a few errands and I came home to find these hanging on the wall. Hmmm...I wonder what they could be-lol. I only have 2 more days before I can unwrap them and see exactly what is hiding underneath.

Our Week

It has been a pretty busy week as I am just getting to posting the weeks happenings. Here is what has been going on...

The kids have been super busy with school, scouts, and their athletic events. Chloe wasn't feeling well for a lot of last week and we just couldn't figure out why-no fever, sore throat, etc.. Well yesterday we finally figured it out. She said her tooth was hurting and when we looked in her mouth noticed it had a big hole in it and a big puss pocket on her gums. Which means it is abscessed. We think a little piece must have broken off her tooth somehow causing this, because she was just at the dentist for a checkup less than a month ago and her teeth were great. The dentist called her in an antibiotic to get her through the weekend and she has to go in tomorrow probably to get it pulled.

I have started back to school for the semester and so far I love one class and hate the other. The one I am struggling with is my writing class-I hate writing papers! I really procrastinate in that class and it's even worse since it is only once a week. I am usually up late the night before or even worse up early the morning before trying to come up with a paper. Ugh. I also have had a problem with gout-yep only 30 (in a few days) and having this problem. Though it seems to be doing better. I was pretty sick a few weeks ago with my migraine problems and the stomach flu the doctors gave me some medicine and we think that is what caused the gout flare up. At least I can walk now without limping.

Beckett has become a member of the family. He is such a good dog. We decided that his middle name should be Chewbacca or Chewie after the Wookie in the Star Wars movies because he makes a growling noise that sounds exactly like Chewbacca. It's pretty funny. Sorry if your not a star wars fan you won't know what I'm talking about here. We have also put him in obedience school. He is doing great and he has only had one class so far. Look how well he is sitting for this picture :)

Oh yeah and here is what happened to my car in the parking lot a PetSmart during Beckett's first class. Some guy ran into it. Luckily he came in the store and found me and is going to pay to fix it.

Well that's our week in a nutshell. Hopefully I'll do better this week posting more often but no promises there.
