An Exciting Week!

For having SO MUCH go on this week, I somehow got zero pictures of it all. To start, our weight loss update: Craig- 16lbs. Me- 10lbs! (Woot woot, New's years resolutions!) Vash erased my calendar this evening so I'm a bit blurry on what we did on which days but I know we were at the mall one day.  My parents came along so the kids could play while I used a gift card to go shopping. (The kids also ate muffins I couldn't have but weight loss is worth it!) I took my first quiz on Wednesday and now I know why Craig stresses out so much.We had play date with Kelly on Thursday so we went to the park. Rhyla and Vash ate their first , but what I fear wont be their last, handfuls of sand, then Thursday night we went to Uncle Jim and Aunt Andie's for someone's birthday party (Not anyone I know.). Vash ate all his food but refused cake, while Rhyla wouldn't eat anything but cake! It was made of ice cream and her teeth are still bothering her, so don't judge me! She sat happily on Papa's lap and he fed her while I watched Vash play outside with the other kids. I'm wary of that back yard because they have a pool. Craig couldn't be there because he was at an info session for Delloitte. Friday our cousin Jamie got married! We were actually invited to the sealing too so it was a great day for us. It's nice to attend live sealings and remember our own wedding day.  (I'm just glad no ones phone went off during OUR ceremony though. LOL... Lorraine.) Then we had a great time at the reception. We visited with Aunt Peg who was down from Utah.  Rhyla danced with Craig and got carried around and told how pretty she was. Vash followed all the pretty little girls around and tried to talk to them. Surprisingly, he's got some swag...Leaning on their shoulders, asking if they're ok, making them look into his chocolate brown eyes. We might have to lock him away until he's sixteen! Then yesterday we went to Chuck E. Cheese for dinner and played till we puked. No, really. Vash came down with something today, we're pretty sure he caught it at the Chuck, and threw up today! He puked so much that we had to leave Aunt Jen's birthday bash before we even got to see her. Then he puked more at home. But he seemed to feel better after a shower and some sprite. Plus he's sleeping well now, so hopefully the worst is past. He even felt well enough to try and steal the dice while we were playing Settlers with the Amundsons. (They came over for dinner and games. We almost canceled when Vash got sick but we've had to cancel four times in the last four months and I didn't want them to think we were avoiding them on purpose!) Rhyla just circled the table and laughed when we laughed. Then Chrystal (Mrs. Amundson) would play with Rhyla's hair and she would almost fall asleep standing there. P.S. Rhyla's kryptonite is having her hair played with. 

Eating some veggie straws. Why do I see this face ten years in the future making this same expression at an English teacher?

Such a cute baby. Loves reading and jabbering. Walks by throwing her legs out in front of her and staring at her tummy. Shakes her head around so she can feel her hair tossing from side to side.
