Our Week....

Monday we had the missionaries and a Spanish-speaking investigator over for dinner.  He understood a little English, but most of the time he, the missionaries, and Tyler, conversed in Spanish and one of them kind of translated for the rest of us.  I understood a little bit of the Spanish here and there, but they were talking pretty fast.  It was neat to see him at church today.

Tuesday- nada, nada, enchilada :)  Just stayed home and relaxed.  Oh, now I remember- Tyler went and played B-Ball at the church.

Wednesday Ryder had his 2 month check-up (2 months already?????).  The little chunk weighs 16 pounds!!  No wonder why my back's been hurting!  The doc said everything looks good except one side of his head is a little flat in the back so we're supposed to try to get him to turn his head the other way for a while.  He got 3 shots and one oral vaccination.  I forgot his bink, so he cried a lot- poor little guy :(

Thursday Taylor and I went to a special awards night for the 6th graders in the district who earned the Presidential Award for Academic Excellence, or in other words an award for getting a cumulative GPA of 3.5 or better over the past 3 years. He's even been in all advanced classes the past two years and still got good grades.  We are so proud of him and all of his hard work.  I just hope he keeps it up through middle school and high school! 

Very early Friday morning Max started throwing up.  He was sick for a few hours and then seemed fine after that and by some miracle no-one else in the family got it.

Friday night was our ward's Cub Scout Pinewood Derby.  Everyone had a great time and I am sooooo glad that I wasn't in charge of it this year :)  Each cub scout brought a decorated cake to be judged.  I thought Jon's "tank" was decorated the best, but I guess they were judging more on taste than decoration.  I just made the cake from a box mix.  The Bishop's son won.  His mom made a vanilla cake with some kind of chocolate mousse filling (from scratch).  It was decorated like a tire, and it was pretty yummy, but I still think ours should have won for best decoration.

 

 

The boys had a friend stay the night Friday and they decided to sleep out on the trampoline again. Saturday morning we cleaned the house and then Tyler took the boys (except Ryder) to the lake to go swimming. 

Today that same boy who spent the night on Friday started throwing up while passing the Sacrament!!  His parents were sitting way up at the front so the R.S. President hurried up there and grabbed his dad's arm.  When his dad saw what was happening he looked like he was going to be sick himself!  Poor kid & poor dad!  Maybe he got whatever Max had :(

And here's a little giggle from Ryder :)
