Buying trees

I decided in a cloud of drugs (post nerve cauterization) that it was past time for us to buy tree for the front yard. This last months home teaching message was that the best time to plant a tree is twenty years ago. A.K.A don't put off the important stuff. So we have been talking lots about actually planting trees, and fixing up the front yard.

I insisted that I was not in TOO much pain, and that we HAD to go after dropping Kaylee off to just look at trees. And then once there I insisted we buy trees and schedule a delivery. And since Jon loves me and often humors me and my crazy ideas we bought a couple of trees.

We hit up subway for a mini lunch date with our favorite Batman, and then headed off to the nursery.

Regan had a blast running around looking for "Acorn Fields"

We got a Tipu and a Mesquite. Both fast growing desert trees.

He literally ran around for a hour. And then was DONE.

Poor kiddo just wanted his Mama to hold him. I was close to tears myself (way over did it…), and REALLY needed drugs and an ice pack. BUT this trip was worth it! We have trees coming and are now on a time crunch to get rid of the stumps and fix the flower bed and irrigation in the yard. Two weeks, we have two weeks!

Kayleeism: sleeping problems

She has bed options. She can sleep in her bed or the guest room bed. Apparently she feels that she needs more options. "I can't sleep in my bed because Regan likes to talk to me." "I can't sleep in the guest bed because I'm too cold (big bed)." "I can't sleep in your bed because you and Daddy won't let me." (She's a sideways kicker.)

Poor kiddo. She has some serious bed problems. This night I explained that she was the only one in the family who gets to have bed options. She agreed that that was special. And then she made herself a couch nest and passed out in the living room. And she looked so sad about it too. 🙁

Kayleeism: workout session

"Mom can I exercise?" I am trying to teach the children that if it's good and healthy they don't need to ask. Apple for a snack? Read a book? They always ask. But cookies, t.v.? Nope they just go for it.

She kept her yogurt mustache for hours. I love how focused she gets while doing a workout and during her dance classes. I am trying to figure out how to channel that focus into other parts of her life. Like homework……

These are her "weights."

She is such an awesome kid. "I like to exercise so my body can be healthy and strong."
