Lawn Mower takes over!!!!!!

We were outside today pulling some weeds. And the neighbor kid was mowing his lawn and Aiden said can I mow our lawn. I said ya so he went and got the lawn mower and I started it for him and put it on the lowest gear there was. Our lawn mower just wips you around if you are on the highest speed. So Aiden started to mow it and he was doing really good and turned the corner and the next thing I saw was Aiden on the ground being dragged by the lawn mower. I am laughing right now writing this but it scared him to death. He was headed into our window well. Unfortunately I forgot to tell him how to slow down when you turn a corner and the most important part is how to stop the lawn mower he was still pushing on the bar. I ran for him and was yelling for him to let go by the time I pulled him away from the lawn mower he was only inches away from the lawnmower taking him down into the window well and some of my flowers were mowed over. Poor little kid after I pulled him away from the beast of a lawn mower he started to cry and was shaking. But now seeing it in my head it was kind of funny I wish I could do a reinactment to take a picture. Hopefully that wont scar him forever.



Mason moment.....
I have to write this down before I forget.
The other night mason was just laying on the couch watching some toons. He sat up and said mommy where was I buried before I was born. At first I didn't understand him he had to repeat himself a few times then I finally figured it out and then he said mommy where were you buried before you were born.
(In English) he meant where were we before we were born. I told him we were in heaven with Heavenly Father he is still trying to understand that we were there before we were born and we go there after we die. Hes only 3 for him to just randomly think about that makes me so curious of what is constantly going on in his little head. He asks the most random questions just like Aiden did.


A few other milestones I need to journal.......

Aiden now can read 5 out of his BOB books all by himself his goal is to read all 18 before kindergarten and his reward is a new lego set. Yes legos motivate that kid He loves them.

He finally learned how to tie his shoes so now all he likes to wear are his shoes with laces. He can tie a double knot. He is so proud of that too and shows everyone that he knows how to tie his own laces.

Mason has mastered his scooter, him and Aiden saved up for months to buy new scooters. They finally earned enough money to buy them. It took Mason a few weeks, now he thinks he can jump off curbs and do bunny hops on his scooter.....I have to say that kid goes so fast down those hills. So far he has only got 8 owies on his knees. I'm sure there is more to come and every time he just comes in gets it cleaned up and is back on his scooter. He thinks he is one of the big boys now.


For me I am now 30 weeks and only 10 weeks to go....and I am so ready, not so much the baby yet but for my bodies sake.....its to the point where you cant bend down and walking up and down the stairs I feel like im going to pass out. I guess thats a sign that I am out of shape.
And Every day Mason asks when is baby brother coming out to play. He is so excited and hopefully he stays excited when the new baby comescomes.

The last few weeks

I have to say that I miss the rain....this morning was perfect weather to be outside and playing and now its scorching hot. Wouldn 't the days be perfect if it rained throughout the day just to cool you off. I loved it when it was overcasted maybe because i'm pregnant so the heat is just so draining to me right now. Although I don't miss my kids coming in wet everyday from jumping on the tramp after it just downed poured.

This is the first 4th of July that we have not had anything planned ....it's weird being home and not having anything to go to ....my side of the family always has our reunion during the 4th but this year apparently there isn't one. We are just hanging out playing outside. Later we will go to the fireworks but I have to say it has been quite a peaceful and nice day today. The last few weeks we have been busy with activities its been quite eventful so it's nice to take a break.


The last few weeks....
We rode the tram up to snowbird....my boys loved it, there favorite part was playing in the snow once we reached the top and feeding the little squirrel popcorn.( although you weren't suppposed to feed them) it kept them entertained. And there was this crazy skier who skied down the mountain. I'm not sure what he did once the snow melted half way down.
