Our ward did a cute little primary activity where they sent out mission calls to the kids. Wyatt got called to Germany. They reported to the church on Saturday morning, where they had a pretend learning center, a pretend airplane where they flew to their different countries, they even had a mission president and his wife. They taught them all about being a missionary. The kids all loved it. We have the most creative primary president. I love her. She always has the cutest ideas, and is so good with the kids. Wyatt was so proud to be a missionary for the day.
This is your son Walker, I hope the title of this entry or the fact I am writing already did not startle you. I just wanted to get your attention. I had a rough night of sleep last night and decided to hop on the computer while you and dad were still sleeping. I see you on this blog thing occasionally looking at pictures and reading stories.I have even seen you laughing and giggling as you look through pictures and videos of me. I may never understand what is so funny about an innocent little 10 month old boy tasting a lemon.
Anyways, bet you never thought I had blogging skills did you. I have months of observation experience from my floor view, truthfully I could have written something like this months ago. Hey, a kids gotta pick up something with all that time…. you should see me drive.
Mom, the purpose of this entry is to warn you. There have been some strange things going on around here the past couple of days. I need to trust you that this information will not leave this blog.
Ok…. I caught Wyatt and Kartnee red-handed yesterday morning scheming up some type of plan of action, maybe a revolt at dinner time tonight or something. Now I have no idea what the plan involves, I simply wanted to fill you in. I feel it is my duty as the youngest in the family to report these kinds of things. Fine, I was part of it too, ENJOY!
P.S. Sorry for the grammatical errors, dad must have not been a good speller either, must run in the genes.
We had a great, fun filled weekend with family. Jimmy's sister Kim just had a baby last month, and they came down here this weekend from New York to bless baby Brady. He is such a cute little guy, and he received a very sweet blessing. We love when they come down. They are so much fun to be around, and the kids all have so much fun together. During fast and testimony meeting, we had a lot of family stand up to bear their testimonies. Both of Jimmy's parents did, Kim did, and his little brother Justin did. Wyatt was listening more intently than he does on other weeks. He leaned over to Jimmy and asked what a testimony was. While Jimmy was telling him, he said "Dad I feel something inside" Jimmy explained that it was the spirit telling him the church was true. He asked if he could go up and bear his testimony. Now I know that we are asked to not have our kids go up if they still need help, but after that, how can you say no. He was so proud going up there, and he did a great job. It is moments like this that really melt my heart as a mom.
They had "Pet Day" out at the Reston Town Center Mall. It is an outdoor mall, and everybody could bring their pets on leashes. They had concerts going on, face paintings, and all different tents set up with pet supplies, and information about pets. My kids thought that it was the coolest thing ever. They were in heaven. They seriously ran from dog to dog petting each one. They had no fear at all, and some of the dogs they played with were just as big if not bigger than they were. Wyatt loves dalmations, and was so excited when he finally saw one. He ran right up to it, and it gave him a big slobbery kiss on the face. It was pretty funny. I have to say that I almost wanted a dog after leaving. There was the cutest baby sharpee. I was really glad that it wasn't for sale, because it was so cute that I probably would have bought it, and then had buyers remorse this morning. Before we left we let the kids get their face painted. I thought that there was no way McKartnee would sit still long enough to get it done, but she did great. They turned out really cute. Wyatt was a dinosaur, and McKartnee was a butterfly. We had a fun filled day.
My kids have had way too much energy lately! They are bouncing off the walls. McKartnee is also at the stage of trying to give up her nap. On the days that I make her take her nap, she won't go to sleep until around 10:30, and when she doesn't take one, she falls asleep right when her head hits the pillow, but she is also cranky-bo-panky all evening! I have been trying to get them out of the house to do more things, because when I don't, it just turns to them arguing here at home, and then none of us are happy. Today we got up and I checked the weather, and it said: partly cloudy, with a high of 67, and a 20 percent chance of rain. We decided that we would go to Great Falls Park, have a picnic and do a scavenger hunt. We made our list of things we would find, drew the pictures, and then colored them. We packed up and took off. It wasn't super warm out, but with jackets on we would be fine. Well, I start driving up the road, and it starts sprinkling. I thought with a 20 percent chance, it would just sprinkle a little bit and then be gone, so we went up to the park (a 20 minute drive). We decided to eat in the car and see if the rain would stop, but 40 minutes later it was still raining. I should have been a good mom and still let them still do the scavenger hunt in the rain, but instead I brought two sad kids home, and now it is on the agenda for tomorrow, and hopefully it won't rain. Now it is an hour later, it is sunny and warm outside. What are the chances right? That is just my luck!
