Summer fun in Spring

This year i've decided to make a list of things i want to do with the kids over the summer and since its so hot right now i thought we would start.  So yesterday Kyler got to play mad scientist with some baking soda and vinegar.  I put a drop of food coloring in the bottom of the jars and coverd them with 1 tsp. of baking soda and then let him squirt vinigar into the jars to see what happened. 

Kyler kept adding more vinegar until it was gone.  Good thing i didn't give him very much.  Then he started to add the colors together to make a "Magic Potion"  First we mixed red and blue and got purple then he just added the green.  It ended up a deep purple color.  He called it his Lightning McQueen Potion. (and yes ninja is peeing in the background)

 Brooklyn enjoyed trying to get more out of the bottle once kyler was done.
 I Decided this morning to make brooklyn a new swimsuit out of the left over material from making myself a new one.  after a few adjustments and additions i think it turned out pretty cute.

forever

ok so it's been forever since i wrote last.  since then i've turned 28 been married for 5 years, had kurtis's brother Kevin get home from a mission, gone to vegas, celebrated easter (brooklyn's 1st) and have become able to run 6 miles 3 days a week. 

Saying that i still haven't lost the weight i want sad fact but true but i'm most definatly healthy.  Brooklyn is almost walking.  She could walk if she wanted but mostly i think just doesn't want to because we want her to. Kyler is eating everything i swear if he eats like this as a teenager i'm going to have to buy a grocery store.  the sun is coming out and i'm loving it.  I think the kids are too.  They go on my run's with me i push them in the stroller.  Brooklyn love is kyler is getting a little sick of it so i have to keep pointing things out and finding different paths that so he's not bored.  But its great.  We keep trying to catch a frog but i swear everytime we bring stuff to catch it with they are never out. 

Kurtis Just started fill week at work.  This is where they turn on all the subsidiary water in the city and generally they have a lot of leaks from the pressure of filling them.  He's been waking up at 4:30 to be to work at 5 and doesn't get off this around 5. But he also has school on tues and thurs so he pretty much hasn't been home this week at all.  The kids are really missing daddy.  and daddy is really tired.  And its not going to get much better next week because he is on call next week.  but other than that he's doing good.  Saturday he ran 6 miles or 5 i can't remember and it only took 60 min.  so thats good.  He doesn't like to run but at least he's doing it to get ready for Ragnar

Kyler like i said is eating everything.  he is in love with his uncle kevin since he got home, i mean seriously the kid never leaves his side. he's testing my patients as well but i think thats the age.  He just upgraded from his cars bed into my old bunk bed. And since then he hasn't slept in our room once. its been great. Plus he love's his BIG bed.  and the layout of his room.

Brooklyn is turning into a little girl she's not my baby anymore.  Let me tell you i always thought kyler was a handfull she is way way way more of one.  She love dogs, infact i think she is part dog and if you could hear her bark you might as well.  She love to torment her brother and take his toys.  and she loves water.  I mean if there is anyone even close to the bathroom she goes and crawls in the tub and wants to play in the water.  She also loves music she dances and sings sometimes but she is just as content as i am with music being on all day long.  Oh she just got in her top two teeth now she has 4 teeth and can offically bit you to hurt you.  Mostly she just tries to bit kyler and Ninja. She loves food and eats EVERYTHING. 

Me:  Well not a lot to tell i've been running and recently fell in love with my crockpot. i love putting stuff in in the morning and then not having to worry about dinner the rest of the day.  Like i said i run 3 days a week and in the last 2 weeks have made it to 5 to 6 miles each on those days.  another mile to go and i'll be at my longest run milage. only problem is i have to do more than that all in 2 days.  anyway i've been selling some more on etsy or having some sales at least which is always nice.  i might acutally have to start making some stuff again soon.  Other than that just house projects and playing with the kids.

Here are some pics of the kids from easter.  I made brooklyn dress and hair bows and kylers BYU Tie
