Amazing Week

This week we have been to the Zoo, the Aquarium and the the Tulip Festival in Lehi, UT  to see gorgous flowers and and lovely brooks, rivers and waterfalls. I took my son on all these excursions. I missed an Exam because I thought it was on a different day and my teacher is letting me take it this morning. I think I did real well on my Family Violence Exam and I have an A in all of my classes except Strengthening Families which I have a B and am taking the Optional Final today to try to make my Grade and A. I think It would be wonderful to get a 4.0! But with 16 credits I'd be happy with a 3.8 too.

I was going to post pictures today but in light of my Exam today I will wait until later to do so.

I am thankful to have assistance from Sister Catmull to tend my son for a few hours this morning,so I can take my test. As I asked her last night after asking almost everyone in the neighborhood!

Happy Friday Everyone! Only one more year and that will be me graduating with a B.S. in H.D.F.S. Human Development and Family Studies!

Yesterday my son said the cutest things; My son saw a jet today in the sky- and said" look mom a blue spaceship!" I say- "Where is it going?" He replies- "To Disneyland! I want to take a blue Spaceship to Disneyland! To see Mickey and Goofy and Pluto!" I think I have to take him to Disneyland soon! His manipulation skills are getting adorable!


He has a green dinosaur Rexy from Toy Story he sang to him "Imagination" the song I sing to Christopher before bed, and tucked him in before he went to bed and had me sing to him. So cute!




Chels

Prince William and Princess Catherine!

I didn't stay up last night to watch the Royal Wedding, I am very sick with an upper Respitory Infection that I've had for 2 weeks. It has caused me to lose my voice, so I can't talk or sing too well. I have to whisper and use body language and facial gestures to communicate with my son.

But, I did watch the wedding on today.com this morning around 9 am. It was lovely!  I wanted to share some photos with you that I have found online. Congratsulations Duchess of Cambridge and Duke of Cambridge a.k.a. Prince William and Princess Catherine Elizabeth!

Museum of Ancient Life Yesterday

                                                 Swinging with daddy earlier in the week

                                                   In the Museum Elevator

                                                    Putting together the magnetic puzzle dinosaurs

                                               playing in the erosion playplace at the museum

                                                     Swinging with daddy earlier in the week

Okay, so I didn't realize this before, but we have seen Night at the Museum 1 and 2 recently. And my son is petrified of the T. Rexes in the Museum, so much that he ran away from them as fast as he could. Because in the movie they come to life and start chasing the guard. Kind of silly, but my husband figured that out. He's really scared of them because he thinks the bones are going to come to life and chase him like in the movie.

Also, today my son said, " I want my daddy back!" and "I want my daddy". He misses his dad when he's at work. And loves him so much. The fact that my husband works very long and inconsistently scheduled hours is hard on our son. We miss him. And if it's sunny tomorrow my boy and I  will go to the Aviary or the zoo! Chels
