Well, the remainder of our tax return was spent on 2 used 4 wheelers and a trailer to pull them. We finally got them registered, the oil changed, and ready to go. When we finally finished, it was late on a Saturday afternoon (April 10th). We had already told Makayla that we were going and she was insistent - (Mental note - Don't tell 3 year-olds something unless you are following through with it). So at 6 p.m. we ended up going to Five Mile Pass in Tooele County. We arrived around 7 and had a blast..... that is....... until we were all packed up ready to go back home and I reached in my pocket and NO WAY, my new phone was gone! It had bounced out of my pocket in all of the excitement! And it was getting dark! The sun was nearly down, yet I didn't want to give up. I convinced Scott that he should look for my phone while I watch the kids. For over an hour, he took a four wheeler and drove around in the dark and called my phone several times. (to no avail) Then we drove around in the car looking for my phone, hoping it would light up, or make noise.........something. Well, now it was pitch black, and the kids were getting ornery. I don't blame them. SO....... I had to leave my brand new phone in the mountains at Five Mile Pass. And now 2 or 3 rain and snow storms later, I know it's not functioning. The most depressing part is that it had my memory card in it, and PRICELESS photos that I never even thought to download anywhere. So I've lost very precious photos and video footage of my kids. At least Scott has his memory card still.
Sterling has been improving on his balance. He has been walking around with Makayla's doll stroller and a toy airplane and a walker toy every day. It's very cute to see him stroll across the room holding onto a toy. Also, he cut his second tooth (bottom middle) on April 6th. Sterling has been attempting to mount the stairs both ways, up and down. It's so important to keep an eye on him because he's fast!!
Makayla is obsessed with being a princess. Every day she is dressing up in her princess clothes and accessories and parading them around the house. Thanks to her cousin Maddy, she has quite the selection, a whole trunk full of choices. Last week when it was time for dinner, of course all decked out, she suggested: "I'm a princess. I don't have to eat my dinner!" :)
I've had more meetings than normal for school. It's been a really insane week for special ed things. Even today (Friday night) I got home at 5:30 p.m. I'm going crazy! I'm really looking forward to summer vacation! Only 20-something more school days, yeah!!!
