I decided awhile ago if I was on my own with kids on Saturday we would go to the Y so I could workout and have some alone time. We went and as we were leaving learned that they were doing a free special kids day obstacle course. The kids loved it. Even Jonathan got in on the fun.
Kherington turned 6! It is no surprise that for her birthday breakfast she requested bacon with a side of egg and toast. She is our little bacon girl. We were lucky to have Grandma Glover and Adam in town for her birthday, which was really nice since Ryan is already in Washington. They were stopping on their way to Utah so it worked out perfectly.
Is it weird that while I was gone, I couldn't believe I had 3 kids? Well, they were home waiting for me. My mom (Grams) came down and watched them while I was gone. It was a huge help, plus I love it when they get time with the grandparents. We had Grams for one more day before taking her to the airport Tues. Next time we see her we will only live a couple hours away!
For the first time since Belgium (so at least 1.5 years) Ryan and I went on a kid free trip. Granted this trip included 30+ hours of driving in 3 days, so not quite the same as our European vacations. We stopped in Farmington, NM the first night. Ryan really liked his Bake Potato Pringles. We were about an hour away from our stopping point when Ryan got pulled over (and this is after getting a parking ticket his last week of work). Good thing this time was just a warning because his headlight was out.
The second day we stopped in Provo We walked around campus, enjoyed some chocolate milk from the creamery and then met up with Michelle and Clarke for dinner at Cafe Rio. Delicious! After dinner we stopped by Kourtney's for little visit. Funny thing is we didn't know exactly which house was her's, we just knew the street. So we stopped, asked someone and they didn't know. We tried knocking on her brother's door, but no one answered. Ryan went and knocked on another door while I waited in the car and as luck would have it, it was their house. I can't wait to spend more time with her in June. After our quick visit, we drove up to Brigham City.
Kherington's bike came in the mail Monday evening. Just in time for Ryan to help bulid it and then enjoy a short evening bike ride. I hope the kids love their bikes!
Kherington had her first Tball game this morning. It was amusing to say the least. They don't follow normal rules at all. They start with a mini devotional, then set a 50 minute timer for the game. They bat the entire lineup, no one gets out, the last person in the lineup runs all the bases and that is the end of their at bat. For fielding, they lineup by the pitchers mound in groups of 4 and field the ball. Most often the kids are tackling each other to get the ball. Kherington did get it once, but that was just because two other little boys collided. She stepped over them and scooped it up.
At her first at bat, she tripped on her way to first and landed right on the white line. She had only a slight meltdown, but I went out and talked to her then we ran the rest of the bases together.
