3 Days and Counting!!!

The last time I went and seen the Tuachan play was 6 years ago! I can not wait to go and see this one. We are leaving the men home (it is ladies night) .

Les Miserables

I picked Shayla up from Pre-School today and she had blood all over her pants and white printed shirt. I guess her boyfriend (Dylan) shoved a pencil up her nose! It keeps bleeding and I hope we do not have to have it cauterized again. Carter has his check up with the ADHD Doc Wednesday. He is doing so much better! He comes home from school and get his home work done in less the 10 min. and can spell every word on his spelling test this week.

Discount Fund Raiser

If anyone wants one of these cards let me know. They can be used as many times as you want once a day. They are great if you buy stuff at these places. I need to know by Friday Morning.

Family Pic's at the Temple

Joan and Ken were sealed in the Mount Timpanogos Temple yesterday. It was great having everybody there. We finally got a somewhat decent family picture. I was glad that I could sit and watch the sealing and hear the special blessings and see all the people that were there to support Ken and Joan.

Reading

Shayla was tired today. We played outside all day long. Carter was reading the Magic Tree House chapter book and Shayla just had to give in. She usually falls asleep when we read. This is Matt and Carter's thing, they usually read at night. I am glad he likes to read and is teaching Carter to love books because I do not like to read!

This was taken off Matt's Camera phone....Bad quality.

This is Grandpa Carter, Shayla's Great Grandpa. You can not see it in the video but Shayla has put a sticker on Grandpa's forehead and clip on earring on his ears. He has no idea that Matt is taking video. I don't think he know phones can do that. Which made this even funner!

The Frog..... Hunter

Carter named his frog this morning and when we got home this is what we found.

Carter of course put it in the jar so we can take it back to Pets Mart to get another one. I have been informed that we have to keep the body so he can have a funeral.

Fundraisers???

Does anyone else ever get sick of the books? I have bought them every year. The one year I did not buy it a guy hit us up in the parking lot of RC Willey...so we bought it. Can I tell you that I have NEVER used one coupon from this book. Shayla's pre-school does a fundraiser that is a card and it is so much easier to use. It has Subway, Artic Circle (which we use a lot....ice cream for $2.00 for 4 people) and KFC. The ice cream pays for the card alone. I really dislike looking through the book to find the place let alone a coupon that you will use and the book it not cheap. I got the cards from Shayla 3 for $20.00 that is 6.70 for a card for 3 families.

Tadpoles

We went to Wal-mart today and had Carter's eyes tested. They are fine. On the way out we seen a tadpole tank thing. I thought it would be fun the let the kids see the tadpoles grow. We get home and the paper says you have to send away for the tadpoles and it takes 4-6 weeks. Well, we wanted to do it today and they was not flying with Carter's short temper. We decided we are taking back the tadpole thing and getting fish. We got the fish tank out from downstairs and thought that it also might help Carter fall asleep so we put it in his room. We will see.

Carter is tired can you tell. I told him if he did not look at the camera I was not giving back his Pokemon's. I swear that is the only word he responds to. Thanks Michele for the interest in Pokemon. I know if it was not for the all gold Pokemon it would be way gone by now....Let's all hope! This child was not even allowed to watch Pokemon and now some how that is all he does. Pokemon shoes, games, cards, toys, and even books.

Is today Monday????

I know nothing about ADHD. I read up on it a bit and thought I was ok with it then........Carter came home from School. He is not happy. He is very mad and frustrated! We sat down to do home work like we always do. I asked him to spell track. He missed the "R" so I told him "good job you spelled tack we need to put a R in it to make it say track do you know where the R would go?" He started to cry freaked out and started smacking his head with fists. This is the third tantrum he has thrown since getting home from school. Needless to say he is not going to school in the morning. We are going to get glasses and hopefully not cry or scream at the Doctor.

What a day!

This morning Carter went to the ADHD specialist. He has a form of ADHD ( he has ADHD with out the H) but the doctor also thinks he has Auditory Processing Deficit. This has to be tested by the School. They put him on a depression medicine, sleeping medicine and ADHD Medicine. Apparently Carter sleeps for so long because his mind never stops so they think that this might help. For those of you who know me know that I am already strict on bed time, now it is even earlier 7-7:30pM. Well, after hearing all this about Carter we took Shayla to the dermatologists in Alpine. The doctor pulled the top off of every one of her bumps that she had and the bleed really bad and she scram! It was horrible I bet she had over 30 on her body (tummy, back, arms, neck, arm pits and legs) The pic below is after they all stopped bleeding and yes she still has her herniated belly button. Her school shirt is soaking. The good thing is she took a nap. I do not want to repeat this day again......... Give me a couple of days to ask questions about Carter.

Out to lunch with the kids

Before School started we went to the Bean museum with the kids. Shayla and Chase were the only ones that would let me take their picture. After we went to the Brick Oven. I would have taken more pic's but the table behind us was giving me dirty looks.

The Weekend

My mom is crazy. She took the six grand kids to the cabin overnight by herself. This is Chandler my nephew.

Check out Shayla's hairdo.

Matt loading the four wheeler to get ready to go. We had to go up to the cabin to get the the four wheeler and a couple of other things before it gets to cold. On the way home we blew a tire on the four wheeler trailer. The spare was low so we had to turn around and go back to Fairview to put air in it. It was a fun trip home. Then......... My husband (who has no temper) got mad when He was putting the four wheeler away because.....The trailer hit the rotted boxes of nails that where left out side. Let me tell you how they got outside. Well about a month ago I noticed the truck was getting really rusty (you can see it in the pic above) on the back corner. I could not figure out why it was rusting so fast. I was outside one morning when the neighbors sprinklers came on and Wow there was the answer! The sprinklers were hitting right on that spot. So I cleaned out the garage so I could put the truck in it (where it is suppose to be, until my husband filled it with other stuff). Well, the boxes of nails are to go on the unfinished shed (we have had the shed since May 26th). I could not lift them so I scooted them with my foot out the side door of the garage (he new they were there). It was either the truck or the nails? I choose the truck Matt choose the nails. Anyway back to the post. Matt hit the box of nails so he had to move them. This mad him mad so he mentioned to me that he had to move them and I said well if the shed was done then no one would have to move them. Remember my husband has no temper issues.......Then he floored the four wheeler (all the neighbors were outside) I screamed to the top of my lungs ''Matt Fackrell" just as he clipped the fence and flipped the gate up from the bottom and ripped it off.....

I need a Carpenter to finish all my husbands unfinished projects.....Maybe he won't be so angry!!

Good Morning Shayla

Shayla fell asleep on the way home last night at 7:00 she would not eat dinner. Well, low and behold who is awake at 4:30 wanting chicken nuggets and to watch a movie...... ans still going strong!!!

Shayla Creation

I think Shayla should have her own Cooking web site. This looks about like some of the other foods I have seen. Pretzel Jell-0 salad with turkey and cucumbers. Yum!

She will really eat her own creations and if Carter is near by he is totally disgusted (what ever) with it.

Shayla's First Day of Pre-School

Shayla on her first day back. Notice all the red marks all over her face! Thank goodness she sees the Dermatologist on the 10Th. She made a paper for Grandparent's day with her hand print and had some candies attached to it. Needless to say the candies (chocolate never made it home). We will have to triplicate the paper so every Grandma can have one.

Labor day Weekend

Saturday we went to Temple Square and only seen about 1/2 of the stuff. The kids had a blast.

This is Shayla singing with the missionary's in the Beehive House.
