Flashback Friday

So this picture isn't technically a "flashback" picture, it was taken a couple weeks ago on Kane's birthday. The flashback is just my memories of going to this park, Bear Park, in Sandy. My brothers used to play football there. The playground is almost exactly the same as it was 20+ years ago. I've been searching for a picture of me at this park, but haven't found one yet. I'll post it later if I find one.

Driving

A few weeks ago Kasey was learning about budgeting in school. She asked me how much an Eclipse costs. I told her it depends on if it's old or new, but still pretty expensive for a first car. She said, "Well, maybe I'll get it for my second car, you know, after I wreck my first one." What!!! She said she thought every new driver wrecks their first car. I guess they hadn't discussed auto insurance in her class yet!

1998, Kasey in my Eclipse :)

A post... finally

I realize I haven't blogged about something "real" for more than a month! Sorry. Moving is stressful! I don't really feel like myself lately. Since I moved to Alpine and my kids go to school in Saratoga Springs, I'm rarely home. I was gone from 7am - 3pm today, uhg. So it seems it's taking me quite a while to settle in here. I thought instead of a traditional Flashback Friday, I'd give you a flashback of what I've been doing the past month.
3/20 I volunteered to go on Asher's 1st grade field trip to the Bean Museum at BYU. This was 2 days before I moved, not the best idea. Riding in the back of the school bus with a bunch of 1st graders hopped up on ice cream from the BYU Creamery, also, not a good idea.
3/23 Easter, day after we moved. My wonderful in-laws brought us dinner. Very fun day after all the hectic ones that preceded it.


3/27-3/30 Went to Monster Jam in Vegas with Heidi & her family. We had front row seats, it was SO much fun! (You can make fun, I don't care).


4/4 Bought the airplane teeter totter from Costco. Hoping it's warm enough this weekend to actually use it.


4/7 Woke up to this, ick! (Okay it's kind of pretty).


4/11 Boys playing in grandma's tub. And Kane sleeping protected by his "babies".
So there you have it. My life lately.

Happy Birthday Kasey!

I have a 13 year old, I can't believe it!



This is Kasey today, her 13th birthday.




This was taken on my wedding day, she was almost 4.
Time flies!




We took her and some friends to Classic Skating in Sandy yesterday. Weird taking my 13 year old to the place I used to hang out when I was 13 :)

4:52pm

Here's what my kids were doing today at 4:52 pm:

Kane was making a fruit salad. This was all his idea. He asked Matt this morning to take him to the store to get the ingredients, apples, bananas, oranges and blueberries.

Asher was playing Thrillville. He's been addicted for about 5 days now.

Kasey was working on her science fair project.

Guess what I get to do tonight? Reorganize my game closet! Kane just pulled out a puzzle from the bottom and everything came crashing down. I now have to figure out which puzzle pieces go where and oh my! it's a huge mess.
