JamPacked and Fun Filled Day

We have been fortunate enough to have had Tiff & Trev's kids the last couple of days. Shelly and I both love them to pieces, the girls (Kylee and the Loertscher girls) can't get enough of Brooklyn, and Ry is just the best little helper ever.

Shelly and I both agreed we could never do the small children thing again. Both of us think Tiffany is insane er.. Amazing!

Today was almost NON-Stop fun. Rather than post all the pictures we took today, I put them to video. So here's what happens in the first half of the day.

  • The kids and I spent the early part of the morning (pre nap time) dancing in the basement to techno type music REALLY LOUD! This was a big hit with Brooklyn, who, prior to today would only let Shelly hold her. In fact she was crying as Shelly left her with me to the store. But, music was the answer, so after we danced all morning, Brooklyn let me hold her for the rest of the day. Even reaching for me to get off Shelly's arms for a while.
  • Kylee and Rylan go to a birthday party at their friend Derek's house. His parents get these cool inflatables for their kids' parties, and they had this water-slide that the kids had a BLAST on.
  • While the kids were at the party, Our Ward was setting up for having a block party. Quite literally in our front yard, so when I picked the kids up from Derek's they immediately jumped in line to get DUNKED in the dunk tank that was set up in the street.



From there we headed to Deseret Peak to the Hospital Summer party being held at the pool.
  • They had Pony Rides for the kids, Kylee looked like she had been doing it her whole life, Brookly assumed Jockey position and wanted to take off... Jace HATED being put on the pony, but we found that it was okay to just pet the horse, and Rylan got to be led around by a friend of his. All in all a fun little experience.
  • The pool is ALWAYS a hit with the kids, and both Rylan and Kylee were good to help with the two little ones.



One of the other activities they had was a Mechanical Bull... This was the one thing that Kylee was looking forward to more than any other!

Another Day "Off"

It was the 1st day of the month, so that means I work all night and play all day...
Since it's that time of year again, we headed to the Tooele County Fair... IT SUCKED ROCKS! They had a free thing for the kids to do a craft, and of course we show up just in time for Hats of all things stupid!

Once they had the hats made and, *sigh*, on their heads, it was off to see the animals.


Conveniently enough the fair was right next to the pool!



After a relaxing day at the pool, the kids went to Moo Shin Kwan (That's Korean for Martial Arts!) for "Tip Testing." This is a mid-point between belt advancements. They have to demonstrate their "forms" and be critiqued by their instructor.




They both did well, and will be studying and practicing hard to get their next belt advancement. As for today, Kylee earned her Yellow Tip for her White Belt.

Rylan earned his green tip for his yellow belt.
