Spanish Fork North Park August 30, 2010

Spanish Fork just open a new park just east of Macey’s. They had their grand opening on Saturday. They had free hot dogs, popcorn, snow cones, pony rides, merry-go-round, and bounce-houses. Westin had a blast. Besides all of that, the playground was so nice and big kid/little kid friendly. They also have a splash pad at this park. YEAH! Westin loves water so we spent most of our time there.

We waited in line for about 45 minutes to get a 1 minute pony ride. This was the only ride we went on. All of the other lines were so long. Westin loved it so that is all that matters.

New Bed August 30, 2010

As I posted earlier, Westin has learned to get out of his crib and has been sleeping on the floor with his mattress. I found a toddler bed online at Walmart.com and it cost $46 + 0.97 for shipping. That is right they shipped if for $0.97 and it only took 3 days to get here. I think that I got a deal.

Bad Words August 29, 2010

Today we went to Ed’s grandmother’s house for the monthly get together. We were waiting to leave until his uncle Rich and Aunt Dallas got there. Westin was practicing saying “Rich” over and over again waiting for them to come.  Westin was really good at saying Rich, but after visiting for a while after they got there we decided we had better get Westin home in time for bedtime.  As we were getting ready to leave we told Westin to say by to Rich and he turned and waved and said, “Bye *itch.”  Just like he says “Borry” instead of “Sorry” he said Rich’s name a bit wrong as well. It was so funny. It was an accident, Rich, he didn’t mean it.

Saying Sorry August 25, 2010

The cutest thing Westin said today was  “I’m borry(sorry) Joshsh”

Sleeping August 25, 2010

Westin knows how to get out of his crib and it has been a crazy few weeks. He wakes up at 5am and comes into our room and we have to try and get him back to sleep. We finally took his mattress out of the crib and put it on the floor. Even though it is 5 inches high he falls out of it. Now that he can open doors we put a child proof lock on the inside of his door, took all his toys out of his room and locked his closet. He just stays in his room until it is time to wake up. He plays with the door stops and usually falls asleep by one of them and then I go and move him back to his bed when I go up to bed. During his nap the other day he slept for 3 1/2 hours so halfway through I went to check on hm and this is what I found.

Date Night August 23, 2010

On Saturday Ed and I wanted to go out but did not have a babysitter so we decided to take Westin on a date. We hoped that he would take a nap and then we could leave but since that did not happen we decided to start the date before it got to late. Westin loves ducks and love to feed them so we decided to start by going and feeding duck at Valtek or what used to be Valtek in Springville. On our way there Westin fell asleep with bread in his hand.

Once he woke up we feed the ducks.

We had to drag him back to the car so we could go to the Bean Museum. If you have not been there you need to go kids love it and it is FREE.  Once we told Westin we were going to see “a lion king”  (what he calls all lions and lion pictures now days) he got into his seat.

Of course we had to watch the video about animals while we were there. I think that we could go once a week and Westin would not get sick of it.

I do not have pictures of our last activity sorry but we went and saw How to Train your Dragon at the dollar movies. He loved it. The whole way home he was breathing fire on us.  It was such a fun day and are glad we decided to go on a family date.

Splits August 23, 2010

The other day Westin and I were watching a cartoon when he turns to me and says “mom watch.” So I turn m head and he starts doing the splits. I started to laugh so hard and wondered where he learned to do them. I was luck enough to get it recorded.

Ed’s Hockey Game August 22, 2010

This is Westin at Ed’s game cheering him on. It was so cute. He could find Ed on the ice I was so impressed.

These are pictures for Ed’s hockey games this summer. It was fun to watch. He has not played hockey since the first year we were married. His team won the championship for the summer league. He start the Fall league soon.

Texas August 22, 2010

These are pictures of Westin saying good by to Connor and Dallin.

So Annalee and Cullen moved to Texas at the beginning of August and we are so sad. Everyday Westin asks if we can play with Connor and Dallin. I always have to draw these stick figures of Connor, Dallin, and Westin so now every stick figure is Connor & Dallin. I need to get to Texas so if any of you find a deal for airplane tickets to Fort Worth, TX let me know..

Update August 22, 2010

So I have been out of the blog world for over a year. Sorry.  I decided that I need to start back up again because I am a horrible journal writer. If I do not blog it we will not remember some of the things Westin says and does. To give you a quick update on life Ed is taking the LSAT and the GMAT and applying for JD/NBA program which we will start in a year…. Yeah 4 more years of school. Westin is a little toddler making my life crazy but good. He is learning so fast and it is nice to almost understand what he is saying. I am just being a mom and trying to make our house a home. I have gotten into refinishing furniture so I am sure you will see a lot of projects that I do on here. I am almost finished with my dinning room table so stay tune.
