Uncle Ron

When I woke up Monday morning, the 3rd of August, I had a text from my mom that said that my Uncle Ron had passed away the night before. It was kind of a shock. With my grandma, I knew it would be sometime soon, and was expecting it, but it was a totally different experience with my Uncle Ron. He was a kind, loving, patient, funny, happy person. He was always so willing to help whenever he could and always had candy with him. He had the best stories and taught Drivers Ed which I thought was incredible. He had the best most contagious laugh! You couldn't help but laugh when you heard him laugh. He loved Pinnacle and always wanted to break out the cards and play when we were all together. Love you Uncle Ron! You will be missed! Until we meet again, say hi to Grandpa and watch over us.

We only had to travel to Odgen for his Funeral, so we didn't have to go too far. We 'raided' his house and got to take things that we wanted/needed and I was the lucky one that got his Piano! (Thanks Dad!) I think of him everytime I play and am so thankful for the opportunity I have to re-teach myself and play piano again.

The boys love to play it too!

Playing

I love it when they play nicely together (out of the way)!

Reading

At the beginning of Summer, Gavin found a pack of books at Costco that he had to have, so we made a deal with him that if he read everyday for 2 weeks, he could have the books! After a lot of trial and error, he finally hit his goal of reading everyday for 2 weeks in July, so he earned his books! He is becoming quite the reader!

Learning

He might not talk...a lot, but he sure loves to learn from the Leappad!

Dentist/Ice Cream Date

Lets go back to July, shall we?

At the end of June, Mike switched from the Navy to the Air Force, and we were promised that NOTHING would change with our Medical and Dental coverage, hence the reason we did what we did when he switched. Fast forward to July 8th and I take the day off for Garett's 18 month well child check and a Dentist Appointment for Greyson, because lets be honest, he hasn't ever had his teeth checked. So we go to the Dr. Appt. for Garett and everything is grand, no shots or anything super dramatic for him except a referral to a pediatric urologist. Greyson and I head to the Dentist in Orem (one that someone referred us to and that a 'friend' works at) and we get there and the receptionist is asking us a ton of really odd questions about our insurance. So I give them a call, and I hear that we are no longer covered. I start FREAKING OUT because I had already taken Garett to the Dr. and can't afford a 600$ well child check. Mike gets ahold of someone, anyone who can tell us what is happening and they finally got it taken care of, even though I had to leave the appointment and the Dental Insurance company double charged us for July! (AGH Haters!) I promised Greyson if he was good, that I would take him to get Ice cream at Cold Stone, and he was good, so we finished off the day at Cold Stone! I love this boy!

Tumbleweeds Anyone?

On Monday, I came home from work and as I was pulling up to the house, I couldn't see the backyard from the side of my house, because tumbleweeds had taken over. They were piled up so high that when I went into the bathroom, it was orange inside the bathroom because no light was getting in from the light, it was coming in through the tumbleweeds.

We went out to go clean them up and then Greyson got stung by a bee from a nest that had gotten caught up in the tumbleweeds, and Gavin got stuck in the leg by a tumbleweed. So far, it isn't turning out very good. But a lot of neighbors came over and helped get them back into the field behind our house and now we don't need to worry about the tumbleweeds catching on fire and burning our house.

The Zoo 2015

We took our yearly Zoo trip last Saturday and they have this Dinosaur Exhibit going on right now that Greyson loved. We had a fun time looking at all the animals, finding the Dinosaurs and hanging out as a family in the hot heat!

After the zoo, we went to lunch at Red Robin and Garett couldn't be bothered. He was so tired from the zoo that he slept right through lunch.

TMNT

We have been going through a bunch of crap around our house lately to get rid of stuff and to get ready for our yard sale. We have found some fun things.

We found these TMNT Masks

And this Roots Beret from the 2002 Olympics

And all our board games that we sat down and played!

It has been fun going through all our stuff and finding all these things we have just hiding out. We have a lot of crap to get rid of too!

Helmets and Safety

On the 16th of July, I came home early from work because I had a really bad asthma attack and needed to rest after I got it all under control. To get the boys out of the house so I could rest, I sent them outside to ride bikes and play. A couple minutes later, you can hear Greyson screaming bloody murder and his bike is tipped over. I ran out to get him and he had fallen off his bike onto his head and scraped it up. So we decided it was time to get helmets. We went to Walmart and let the boys pick out their own helmets and now they know that they have to wear them when they are out riding. Yay for being safe!
