It's my bed!


Okay so I have created a couple of monsters that our taking over our bed! I have no one to blame but, myself. While Jeff was gone to
k-9 school Cooper would beg until I gave in and let him sleep with me. Well in the process Dalton started getting up in the middle of the night hungry. So I started giving him a little bottle and putting him in bed with me, which was fine until Jeff would come home on the weekends. Since Jeff has been home Cooper has resumed sleeping in his own bed except for when Jeff works graveyards then I wake up to him in our bed. Dalton on the other had it still getting up around 3:00 in the morning and drinking a full bottle and I am still putting him in our bed. I know this is bad and I shouldn't be doing it but, I'll be honest there are some mornings I wake up and don't remember getting him out of his crib let alone fixing him a bottle. I know this is going to be a hard habit to break and I just wish I hadn't started it. I think Jeff and his back have had about enough, I just keep reminding him is great birth control. He doesn't think I'm very funny.

Happy 4th of July

We have had a fun 4th of July. We did our usual breakfast at Sullivan's, then watched Kaylee march in the parade. Picked her up and played at the park. This year however Jill and Kevin came to spend the weekend. So the kids ran wild with there cousins and we just tried to keep up with them. While the big kids played on the blow-up slides Grandpa Mounteer bought Dalton his very own snow cone, and that sweet boy was in heaven (and a little sticky).

Jill and Kevin had some friends that came with them so Grandpa Mounteer cooked a very, very good dutch oven dinner up at the cabin. It was fun just to visit and catch up with everyone. With Jill and Kevin living in West Jordon we just don't see each other enough or call each other enough. So it was great to have a few days with them and the kids. It would have been nice if Krista and Clay could have been here but, Clay is busy with his new job. I don't think that gas prices help either though.

Of course we also watched the fireworks, that's the best part of the 4th. I am such a dork though I made sure I had sparklers for the kids and of course I forgot to bring them with me. I guess we will just use them on the 24th. I probably would be in trouble with Kaylee to for using them, because she stayed at the cabin to have a sleep over. I get a kick out of Dalton because he could of cared less what was going on . He just wanted to run around, but what else should I expect out of a one year old, that is all they do after all. It was a great weekend just hanging with the family and enjoying the kids.

Family Fun

The kids wanted to do something fun, so Jeff went to the store and came back with supplies to make marshmallow guns. Jeff made a gun for everyone in the family. We spent most of the afternoon chasing each other and avoiding being hit. Dalton mainly just ran around dragging his gun and laughing. Sometimes he would stop to eat a marshmallow or two. I sometimes think Jeff's the one who had the most fun. There has to be something wrong with getting enjoyment out of shooting your kids with marshmallows. Oh, well we all had a good time.
