Last Weeks Events!

Last week was a very eventful week!  It went by too fast.  Can't believe it is almost July.

SUNDAY:  Father's Day

This was Danny's 2nd Father's Day.  I woke up and asked him what he wanted for breakfast.  Of course he said Pancakes and scrambled eggs.  I have never made pancakes before because I don't like them.  Danny said it would be good for me to learn ha ha.  So I made them and they turned out really good!  Well, according to Danny and Memphis they were good.  Danny opened his presents from me and Memphis and Danny also got homemade cookies from the ward.  We had our last week of not having a calling.  Memphis was not being good for either of us and we were sick of chasing him around a church with no air conditioner so we just took him home and he took his nap.  It was a good day-Happy Father's Day Danny!

Memphis learned how to catch a basketball all by himself!

MONDAY:  Our 2nd Anniversary

June 21-We have been married two years now.  That does not seem very long but we feel like we have known each other forever.  Married two years and two kids.  It has been busy and crazy but we are still in love and we had a fun day.  Danny got a horseshoe set from his parents for his birthday so we set it up in our backyard and he taught me how to play.  This was my first time and I did pretty well.  Final score Aleena 5, Danny 11.  Danny got a couple ringers!  Memphis had a plastic set of horseshoes but he loved chasing after ours and it was funny trying to see him carry the heavy ones.  We had dinner and played some card games and just enjoyed being a family.

TUESDAY:  Water Park/Mommy's helper

I took Memphis to the free water park and we had fun playing in the water.  He was a lot braver this time and actually liked sticking his face in the river and fountain.

I had to post this cute picture of Memphis helping me sweep the kitchen floor.  Cute smile:)

WEDNESDAY:  Lazy Day/Caught!

I literally did nothing this day.  I was lazy and enjoyed just being with my son.  I knew the rest of the week was going to be busy so I took advantage of having nothing to do.  

Also had to post this funny picture of Memphis being caught with dumped cereal.  I had just gotten up for the morning and I went in to get Memphis and he was making his hungry sound so I asked if he wanted cereal and he said yes.  I went back into my room to finish getting ready and I heard him go downstairs.  I try to keep the pantry door closed but it wasn't and Memphis can reach the cereal shelf so he just went ahead and grabbed a box of cereal and dumped it out so he could eat.  I thought about getting mad but it was just too funny and he is just too cute so I grabbed my camera.

THURSDAY:  Park Group/Danny's 23rd Birthday

My cousins (Megan and Aja) and I go to a park 2 times a week with our kids.  We take turns going to parks by our houses in Springville/Provo, Pleasant Grove, and Lehi.  It is a lot of fun for our kids-they get to play and for us-we get to visit with each other.  We went to a park in Pleasant Grove and the sprinklers came on for a few minutes so the kids got to cool off too.

It was also Danny's Birthday!  He is still a young 23!  He got to pick what he wanted for dinner and what kind of cake he wanted.  His best friend, wife and son (Clint, Lisa, and Kash) came up from Price to hang out with us.  We had Taco Soup and spice cake with coconut frosting.  Then we all watched a movie.  Memphis and Kash had fun jumping off the couch onto a big pile of pillows.  Happy Birthday Danny!

FRIDAY:  Golf Tournament/Drive to Cedar City

Danny's work has an annual golf tournament where they play on teams and have a prizes and lunch.  Danny loves golfing so I was glad he got to go.  I packed all morning while he was gone.  

Then we picked up his grandma and grandpa and we all drove down to Cedar City.  We stayed in a Travelodge and Memphis screamed till about 1 in the morning and then the swamp cooler stopped working at 3am so I did not get any sleep.  It was so hot and it only got hotter the next day.

SATURDAY:  Wedding/Bowling/Reception/Swimming

We got up and drove to the St. George temple for Danny's brother's wedding.  Bradley and Alyssa were married and they looked so happy!    We took pictures after in the blaring sun (only 98 degrees!)  I felt like I was melting.  Then we all went back to Cedar City for lunch and air conditioning:)

The happy couple:)

Trying to open the doors for the bride and groom!

Before the reception we had some time so a bunch of us went Bowling.  I have not bowled in like 8 years so my goal was to break 50.  I got 57!  Everyone else did amazing of course.  It was a lot fun:)

Then we all got ready and went to the reception.  Lots of Pink!!!!  Memphis fell asleep on the way there so he finally got his nap for the day.  Once he woke up he was everywhere though.  He knocked over the pictures set up and put on a dancing show for everyone.   Needless to say we left early but it was good to see all of our family there.  We went back to the Travelodge and Memphis, Danny, his brother Benny, and I decided to go swimming.  Unfortunately the pool was like a hot tub.  It was heated and it was hot outside so I just felt gross.  We still had fun and Memphis loved jumping in!  We also got a different room that night so we got to bed before midnight and slept more comfortably.  

Zonked!

SUNDAY:  Drive home/Sleeping/Sunbeams

We got up and drove home.  Once we got home Memphis and I slept for two hours.  Nice nap in my own bed!  

We went to church and had our first day of our new calling as teachers for the sunbeams.  It was so exhausting.  Those little 3 year olds are so wild and crazy.  Of course Memphis joined in the craziness.  I am sure it will get better the more the kids get to know us and when Memphis goes to nursery next month.  We have 8 kids on our roll but only 5 usually come.  Danny gave the lesson and did a great job! We went home and just crashed the rest of the day.

This week will just be laundry, cleaning, and packing because we are off to Blanding on Thursday to spend a long weekend for 4th of July.  This week I also teach piano, have park group, and have my 30 week dr. appt.  This baby will be here before I know it.  WHEW!
