SWINE FLU

Smear the Mascots

Here is my favorite mascot Miles. He was a beast. Jana and I picked him to be our favorite, drey liked the Salt Lake Soccer Mascot because he could break dance. Porter loved them all, and Keller set in awe and cheered the entire night. But what a night it was..

Mom Just happened to be watching the news on Monday and saw that Lehi was having a charity football game. So I sent out an email to the family and we decided to go. What a great choice we made. We went at 5:30 and the parking lot and stands were all ready full. It started at 5:30 according to the news, but next year we know to go early. Oh what a night. I think I got the best ab workout I have had in years. The Whickers came and loved it. Ally loved the mascots. But when the gorilla got close she had some issues. But we had fun. Jarret and I got a good chuckle. Jarret thought that his first grade team could have given the Lehi teams a run. The quarter back for the mascots was a good old Millard boy. He was a Boone he knew my cousins the Cummings. So we had a little talk with him and he told porter he would score a lot of touch downs and they would win.The starting line up on the field. Those are all mascots they came from everywhere. There was swoop from the U, Miles from the Denver Bronco who was my favorite. He was pretty competitive. He came to win. He laid out a few of the little Lehi guys with some pretty mean stiff arms. Hoot and Holly who made out during the fire works. The Jazz bear, the Jazz dancers, The Ute cheerleaders. For you cougar fans they introduced Cosmo and he was a NO SHOW..
But mascots came from far and near to help. The New Jersey net Sly fox, The Gorilla of the Phoenix Suns, The Indiana pacer mascot and the Chicago Bull.
They signed autographs and T-shirts porter has on his mascot bowl t-shirt and had to wear it to school. This guy was the Salt Lake Thunder mascot and he was a jammer to the music.
Holly she couldn't play her head was to big to even walk..
We had a blast. So everyone put it on your calendar for next year. It is for charity and is a blast.

The Hamtastic four yes I said HAM

I forget when you upload they upload back wards so just enjoy the pictures. Porters friend Grant from schools mom asked if Porter and Dreyton would like to pig wrestle. So we said sure and it was an adventure. The team was named the HAMtastic 4. So cute.They dressed up like super heros. It was hilarious. They started with a plan that they all came up with. Tucker started out pretty aggressive, but one he picked the muddy pig up and it squealed he was not to excited. But Batman Grant as you can see was an animal he was tackling and taking control. They didn't follow their plan, but they had fun.
Porter and drey touched it a little bit, but once they saw how dirty it was they didn't really like it. They were funny. They had a ton of fans there cheering for them. Next year they want to do it again, and Jake is going to go with Jarret brett and Jeremy.
So here is the before pictures of the HAMtastic 4. We didn't get the pig in the barrel but we had a lot of fun anyways... We didn't win the 200 dollars, but we one the best costumes in the PEE WEE division as you saw with the trophy's above.

We survived.. Post about throw up beware..

Don't they look so sad with the IV's. Here is the story behind them. They both milked them for all it is worth.

So we have had a huge bump in the road this past week. It involves a lot of throw up and other things I don't want to mention. But it all started on Wed. Yes the first day of school. At around 3:30 in the morning Keller woke up sick to his stomach. Jake stayed home until 11:00 so I could go to the first day. Everything that went into the little guy came out of the little guy one way or another. He was miserable. So I spent the day cleaning towels and clothes. Then on Thursday morning it was my turn. It was awful, my gut still hurts from the day. But all day long Keller and I laid in bed. Saying little prayers that Porter wouldn't get this because he just started school. It would be horrible if he threw up at school. But the good news was he made it home and threw up in Jamis car... So the three of us laid in bed and were miserable together. Jake attended back to school night. :-) But when he came home after many more towels and blanket washing keller was very lethargic. We could get him to open his eyes but he wouldn't look at us, and they would just roll back in his head. So we decided he might be in a little trouble since he hadn't eaten since Tuesday morning. We loaded up and headed to the ER. Checked both the boys in, figure we might as well get porter help before he got to the point keller was at. They took their blood and they had elevated liver numbers, both of them so they took more blood and sent that off to be tested for a little of everything. Both boys were given IV fluids. keller was also given sugar to help his sugar levels since they were really off. But IV drips in little boys drip really slow... So at about 2:00 in the morning we headed home with our sick boys and their IV's in arms, and were told to bring them back in 10 hours. So ten hours later back to the ER we go. After telling 4 people the same thing over and over again. I even got the comment if they are doing better why are you bring them back. Well I don't really know how to take IV's out of peoples arms. So we finally got to see the doctor, who wanted to leave porters in and take kellers out since porter was still throwing up. But porter wanted it out and had had it with the pokey thing in his arm. So we are feeling better. Still no results on our tests, but wanted to update everyone on the boys and let ya see how hard it was to have the IV. But no worries I am feeling better. I didn't get a shot to stop my throwing up. But I survived..

Little update

We are getting ready for the first day of school. Having a kid in school and being a school teacher is a little difficult on this day. Jake is going to take Porter to school . I Decided he needs to wear what he wants and feels comfortable in even if he doesn't match. We had a little stress about it. But I am stressed and worried to send him to school all day he is so little. But that is the way life guys.

Dreyton, Porter and I were outside sitting on the bench, and we started talking about John. I asked them what they thought he was doing. I could see the wheels turning in Dreytons head. Porter said he typical well thought out answer " I don't know." Then all of a sudden Drey blurts out. " I bet he is playing poker." Where in the world did that come from. But it gave me a good laugh because John would love that. :)

What a NIghT!

A couple of weeks ago my friend Candi sent me a text and asked if we wanted to go to the Crash Derby. I said sure sounds fun. I had no idea what I was getting myself into. So Saturday we loaded up the truck and headed to the BIG city of Nephi. After some great performances of Juab Idol it began. Oh My Gosh!! I have never seen anything like it. It was so much fun. I would have to say it was one of the wildest and craziest things I have ever seen. Candi's Husband drove a car, and after a few good hits he lost a lot of fuel and was down for the count. We stuck around for the ending to see who would win. But I must confess that the girls were awesome. They were fiesty things. But fun was had by all and a great night at the crash derby..

Spanish Fork Res.

No pictures just ramblings from me about today.  Jami and I decided to take the kids to the res today. We took our chips and sandwiches and headed up early. We got there and not many people were there. Which surprised me. We dropped our stuff off and laid out our blanket and put up the umbrella. We were good to go. Jami and Drey headed to the water and set with Keller and Porter on the blanket. Which was when I got and earful and an eyeful. The little couple in front of us with their feet in the water. They were killing me. LITERALLY :( Who thought they had the most smokin hot bodies. the only thing smokin were the cigarettes you smoked every ten minutes and about killed everybody on the beach. When everyone is coughing and all the little kids even mine were complaining about the smell take a HINT:). To make matters worse both of them could use a few tips on their swimming suits. Boy pull yours up, I could see your pubic hairs. Girl  next time I would go up about 4 sizes you didn't leave much to the imagination. Last but not least the boy was in the military. So he was awesome and could drop the F bomb about every 4-5 words.  Not cool. But listening to him tell the girl what he had been doing and did in the military made me physically sick. Talking about all the different women and how hot they were, the girl with him should have taken off and ran for his life. To be honest if he was responsible to defend me, I would be worried that he had every shot a gun sober. I hope he was trying to impress her and telling a few fibs. But he was disgusting, and I wish if I were not such a chicken I should of stood up and asked him not to smoke, clean up his mouth and last but not least pull up his swim suit. But that is easier said then done right.
