Tatum's Broken Heart

Today Tatum was in a time out in her room. When I went into her room to talk to her about what she had done I saw her crying on the side of her bed holding a princess computer. I asked her why she was crying and this is what she said:
T- "You broke my heart"
M- (not understanding her through the sobs) "I broke what?"
T- "You broke my heart"
M- (still not understanding) "I broke what?"
T- "This" (pointing to the heart shaped lock on her computer)
M- "I broke your lock?"
T- "No, my heart. You broke my heart."
M- "How did I break the heart?" (thinking she was referring to the computer)
T- "No, you broke my heart in my throat." (any internal organ above the stomach is in her throat.)
M- "How did I do that?"
T- "When you where mad at me and yelled. You broke my heart."
Needless to say we had a conversation about how when she was not obedient she breaks my heart and that if she starts listening I won't have to get mad. I am still trying to figure out where she heard the phrase "You broke my heart".

I know this is late mom, but here is a picture of your Mother's Day present. We will get it to you the next time we see you. We love you.

Easter at Grandma's

We went to Idaho Falls over Conference weekend (I know I am really late) and had an early Easter with my parents. The kids had funny dying eggs, going on an egg hunt, and riding down Uncle Cory's skateboard ramp. It was a fun weekend.

Jaden's Flight

This post is a little out of place, but I had to add these videos. This is Jaden flying on his plane ride. I wish I could have zoomed in on his face as they landed. He was as proud as a boy could be and you could not have wiped away his smile. We had to film the take off twice because we filmed the wrong plane at first. We were all filming what we thought was Jaden flying until Jenica informed us that their plane was just taking off. It was a funny moment that helped calm my nerves. I was a very nervous mother during the flight, but Justin is a great pilot and kept my boy safe. Thanks again Jenica and Justin.

Trey and Skylar

Trey just discovered ice cream. I know it is not the best thing for him and he does not get it very often, but when he does he goes nuts. Skylar made the mistake of sitting next to Trey with a Frosty. Poor Skylar was just trying to relax after helping us move and he was attacked by an ice cream crazed baby. Sorry again about the toys on the floor we had just finished moving in. Also sorry about the background noise, we were watching "Goonies" and I did not realize it was so loud.

Easter

I know that I am really slow, but here are the pictures from Easter. Sorry the house is not very organized, we had just moved in the day before.

Trey's world was rocked the day before with the move. He was mad at life at this point.

Jaden's birthday

Jaden's birthday was filled with a lot of fun things, but can you guess what one was his favorite? A shark cake A football

Airplanes

Transformers

A gift card to Wal-Mart

Another airplane , 0r..........

a ride in a Cessna 150. If you said the ride in a plane you guessed right. Josh set up this plane ride with one of his co-workers. Her husband has his pilot's license and a plane. He was nice enough to take Jaden up for about an hour and fly him to Grantsville and back to Salt Lake. He even let Jaden fly the plane. According to Jaden that was the coolest thing ever. Thanks Justin, you gave this 7 year old the greatest day of his life.

Happy Birthday Jaden

Happy Birthday Jaden. I can't believe that you are 7 already. It seems like it was just yesterday that you were born. You have grown up to be a great brother and son. I love that you still love garbage trucks, airplanes, and now sharks. I love that you are willing to make Tatum happy when she is having a breakdown and how great you are with Trey. I am so happy that you are part of our family.

Name three things that you can do when you are old...

That was a question on Jaden's homework tonight. His answers left some questions.
1- Drive ( a really good answer)
2- Buy ("Buy what?" I asked. "I don't know, stuff" he answered)
3- Go to the Woods. ("Really, Jaden? Why would you put that? -"Well that is something that you only want to do when you are old.")

Sometimes I just love that girl....

is what Jaden said when Tatum came downstairs wanting to wear this to the park. We all love this girl, she keeps us laughing.

In N Out Burger

Josh had to get one last In N Out Burger, so we stopped at the new one in St. George on the way home. I had a "you know your a mom" moment when I ran to the van to get the camera so I could take pictures of the kids in their hats.

Shark Reef

Jaden is obsessed with sharks lately. Every book he reads is about sharks. He watches shark footage on tv and the internet, and our conversations are filled with random shark facts. So we took him to Shark Reef in Las Vegas. It was worth the money to see his reactions.

Jaden in front of a shark. If you want to know what kind of shark it is ask him
They gave us this phone that you would push a number and it would tell you all about the fish you where looking at. Jaden walked around with this glued to his ear.

Vegas

We went to Las Vegas for the Mountain West Basketball Tournament. In between the games we went out to see some of the family sights of Vegas.

M & M World.

A memory from Texas. We found Raising Canes. I loved this place when I was pregnant with Trey.

New York Style Pizza that was as big as Tatum. Tatum in front of the Pink (favorite color) Flamingos. Don't you love the fake smile

Trey's First Cookie

While I was packing Tatum's room, Trey got a hold of a sugar cookie laying on her floor. We learned three things from this video.

A- Don't leave food laying around.
B- Trey likes, scratch that, LOVES cookies.

C- Tatum asks for the most random things in life.
