Springtime Fun

I thought I would add a few pics of what we have been up to lately. Jared had his field day at school and had a blast he also just finished soccer and loved it. The clothes were soaking wet! They had to put them on then run to the other player and take them off.

Can you say dizzy? Try running back after 8 times around the bat!!

Erik has not been able to participate in much but is trying really hard to stay off his leg. The 5th graders had a celebration at the REC center yesterday so Erik stayed home with me and we went to the park for playgroup and then went shopping for new shorts for summer. You all know how fast he grows:}. Well this is his last week in elementary school:( I can't believe he will be in Middle School. Sad for me but fun for him.

Erik with his friend Ashton.

Well Rebekah has found a new love. (LIP STUFFS). Oh my goodness hold onto your hats this girl is all girl. She love putting on any lip stuff she can find and it is usually in my purse. I finally broke down and bought her some from walmart for 98 cents and she is constantly asking me if I want some. I just love her to pieces. She has also been asking her daddy to take her swimming so while my mom was here last weekend we took just her to the pool and she loved it.

Ok so not the most flattering picture of me but look at that cute little girl with the cherries on her swimsuit!!!!

Luke has finally turned over on his own but is reluctant to try it again. He is such a fun baby. He is laughing and smiling all the time. He loves his bed for nap time and take very good naps which I love. I just have to try cleaning my house while he is sleeping otherwise it doesn't get done. Anyone else feel that way???? He is trying to get some teeth in so he has been a little cranky. But for the most part he love to play in his excersaucer and loves to sit up on his own. Oh how I love this kid. Look at those cheeks.

Hey Sheree does he remind you of anyone?????

Ok so I can't forget the last addition to the family. Thunder is about 5 lbs if that and is a good dog. He loves the kids and is pretty good at not barking unless the neighbors dogs are out. This is our Thunder the Wonder!!!

Erik's 11th Birthday

Sorry it is not the best picture but I can't find the MRI. I told Erik to put it away and who knows
where it might be. When I find it I'll post it and you will really be able to see the fracture.

Wow I can't believe I have an 11 year old. Erik has had a tough month. He has been telling me for about a year now that his knee hurt but I just thought it was growing pains. He never had any swelling and it only seemed to hurt when he played hard. One day he came home from riding his razor with tears in his eyes and told me he wanted to see the doctor about his knee. Boy did I feel bad. I made an appt and they sent us for x-rays and the next thing you know we are sitting in the orthopedic surgeons office getting ready to have an MRI. Well needless to say Erik has a fracture in his left knee and has to keep all weight off of it for 6 weeks. Try keeping a 10 yr old from running even with a leg brace and crutches!!!!!He has not been able to participate in any of the year end fun stuff at school and he had to cancel baseball. Boy is he bummed. He has been really good about staying off his leg until Sat. at his birthday party when I caught him JUMPING on the trampoline with his friends. I thought I would kill him and save him the trouble of surgery. Sound good to anyone else. Anyway he such a good kid. He is always willing to help with Bekah and Luke and around the house (until lately for obvious reasons). He loves to read and put together Lego's and play games. He is getting really good at Clue. Erik is starting Jr High next year and is really excited about it. He will be starting 11yr old scouts this week and has his first overnight camp out in June. He is such a spiritual giant. I will come around the corner and low and behold he is reading his scriptures. What an example he is to me. He knows so much about the Book of Mormon and sometimes I just sit in awe at his knowledge. I am so proud of him and can't wait to see what he does next. We LOVE you Erik!!!!!
