Wow, it has been a busy week! I don't even feel like I can remember all that has happened, but it has been busy. A lot of work and taking care of kids. Last Saturday night, Garrett and I managed to get away for a couple of hours to go listen to my dad play. He played a concert at BYU with other musicians, and I loved it. I was so grateful to be able to go. I've been telling myself that I need to go and see him perform more often. I really enjoy it when I do. After the concert, we got Cafe Rio and went home.

Grayson was still awake when we got home, so we took him upstairs and got him ready for bed. He wanted to wear one of my t-shirts to bed. He was dancing around in my shirt for a while before he finally came over to me and plopped down in my lap. He looked up at me and said, "Mom, I'm pretty." I agreed with him.

Grayson totally cracked me up today. We were getting ready to take a nap in my bed (he always takes his nap in my bed--he loves it, and I love it too) when he decided that he wanted to sleep with FOUR of his cars. He was very particular about which cars he would sleep with. It made me smile.



And Bella is just so stinkin' cute when she sleeps!



Oh, and I should mention that my mom has officially moved. She is off to Dubai! Well, Abu Dhabi really. She got a job offer from one of their universities to teach there. She has a 3 1/2 year contract with them. I'm a little sad that she is gone, but glad that she will be back in the summer. Only 4 or so months until we will be able to see her. Grayson will miss her, I think. I'm excited for her. I think this will be such a great adventure for her. I hope she loves it!

So last night my sisters Liz and Sarah, and my mom and I had a little girls night. It was a lot of fun. My mom bought all of us Cafe Rio, and we watched Hitch. Love that movie. We had fun laughing and chatting with each other. And yes, I ate my whole Cafe Rio salad. YUM.

This morning, I had plans to get together with my friend Sam and her kids. We got together and traded off watching the kids so that we could both work out. It was really nice! She came and dropped the kids off and went running for 30 minutes, and when she got back I left and ran for 30 minutes also. I took Hank, and we ran around the pond and did a few hard hills. It was nice to run without the kids. I feel like I can push myself harder without them.

Grayson had such a fun time playing with Dillon. He always loves it. And Bella had fun playing with Hazel. Pretty good morning if you ask me!

My Little Sunbeam

Today is Sunday, and Garrett let me sleep in until ten. It was so nice! When I got up, I went out of our bedroom and into Grayson's. Garrett, Grayson and Bella were in there playing. Grayson had some music on (music from an electric keyboard) and was dancing around the room.

I got in the shower to start getting ready for church. I was drying my hair when Grayson came into the bathroom. I looked up at him (my hair was falling in front of my face), and Grayson ran out of the room exclaiming that I was a witch! Garrett was playing along with him and gave Grayson his sword to come get me. We kind of played for a while like that. I would hide and scare him, and he would search for me with his sword. He also hid from me in his tent--Bella joined him. We had fun.





Grayson is officially a sunbeam in primary. I can't believe it! He just barely turned three in December, so he is a young sunbeam. I took a picture of him after church...today was his second week in primary, and it did not go very well.



Sacrament meeting was a little hectic. We have 1 o'clock church now which is right in the middle of nap time. Bella was tired and fussy, and Grayson was just busy. After sacrament meeting, I took Grayson to the bathroom (he wore underwear to church), and he peed AND pooped! I was feeling good about things because I wasn't nervous about him having an accident in primary.

I play the piano in primary, and it has made it hard for Grayson to sit with his class. We got to primary, and he refused to sit with his class. He came and sat with me at the piano. We got through the opening exercises just fine. Right in the middle of singing time, I started smelling something stinky. Grayson pooped his pants. I had someone else come play for me, and we went into the bathroom. I had to strip down his pants and clean him up as best I could because I couldn't just leave at that point. I should have just put him in a diaper before church...

We went back into primary, and I tried one more time to get him to sit with his class. He wouldn't. When it was time for the sunbeams to leave, I had to go with Grayson into his class. Unfortunately he was the only sunbeam there today, so that didn't help. His teachers talked to him for a minute about various things (Lightening McQueen, Toy Story, fire trucks, etc.) and gave him a treat. Since he was the only sunbeam there we thought it would just be better for him to go into nursery. I tried to take him into nursery and he threw a fit. Basically I had Grayson with me the whole time. I wouldn't mind it so much except that it's kind of hard with my calling. I just hope that it gets better. It gets better right?

Anyway, that's basically how primary is going.
