Grandpa's 90th

Last Sunday was my Grandpa 90th birthday party. (Technically he isn't 90 until November) The family decided to get together to celebrate him a little early. We ended up doing it along with my cousins homecoming and I don't think my Grandpa and an idea that everyone really came for him. Almost all the the family was there which was great because we don't see them very often, so it fun to see them. My Grandpa didn't remember me or most of the family for that matter which is sad but I guess that can happen when your that old and since I really haven't seen him for 2 years. I admire my Grandpa so much. He is such a hard worker. He is a farmer and works from sun up till way past sun down. He has slowed up quite a bit but he is still out there taking care of his cows. He would also do anything for any body. I remember going and spending a week at my grandparents house during the summer and helping him herd cows and change the sprinklers. He never expected me to help and I didn't do a lot but I loved being there with him and watching him work so hard.



I don't know how much longer my Grandpa will be around I am actually surprised that he is still alive, but I am truly grateful to spend that great day with him and see the tears in his eyes when we sang happy birthday to him and then listening to him tell he story of him being born. Grandpa I love you!!!

Colors

This last Saturday we went with some of Matt's family to the Colors concert. Matt and I saw them when we live in St George and loved them. Since then we have been to many concerts. A couple of years ago they retired from singing to have families and real jobs, but have come back the last two years to do a concert. They are so fun to watch and do a great job. They make up song and one even raps to words that they get from the audience. This year was they had some new songs and brought in some other guys to play piano, drum, guitar and bass. They were all amazing and really talented.

Wahooo

Ethan just went to bed without his binky. This is big. He always has it. He didn't even cry. OH happy day!!!

I was outside digging up our fence in the front yard and this is how I saw Ethan after I removed the pole. (Yes I took down the fence all by myself. O.k I had the help of the neighbor guy to pull out 3 of the 5 poles. But I did the rest. Matt has been crazy busy and I wanted the fence gone so I did it myself. He did help a little he took down part of one fence and took out 3 poles but I did the rest.) He loved playing in the hole and would scream if Trey even got near it. He played in that hole for about a half hour.

Outside playing

One day I was outside working on the fence (pictures to come later) and the boys were outside playing with the hose. They were having so much fun and the next thing I knew Ethan was inside the bucket filled with water. The kid loves water.

Preschool

Last Tuesday was Trey's first day of preschool. I am just doing it with some ladies from the neighborhood and we each take a turn. I would love not to have to teach but can't afford to put him in a real preschool. So I guess I will take my turn. I will only have to do it every 6 weeks so it can't be to bad. Trey likes it and it is good for him to have to learn from somebody other then mom. It is structured so that helps. On his first day he cried because for singing time they each got to pick a song and his song he wanted to sing was the "Transformers" song. His teacher that day said that he could because nobody else knew it so he got upset. She talked him into singing "head, shoulder, knees and toes". He now knows not to choose that song and will choose a song that every one knows.
