From the moment the girls saw the pool at the hotel they wanted to jump in and never get out. They finally got their chance Saturday afternoon. Grandma and Grandpa Tomlinson came over to watch our little fish swim.

Fun in Burley
Glenn's sister, Lisha, who lives in Burley, Idaho had a very busy and full week. On Monday (July 5) her daughter, Shaina, blessed them with their first grandbaby. Welcome to the family sweet little Eli! On Tuesday (July 6)her oldest daughter, Shalis, returned home from her mission in the Phillipines. Welcome home Shalis!
Since Glenn's parents were coming up from Houston for all the fun we decided we should head on over as well. We were excited to see Shalis and hear about her mission and to meet our new nephew.
The girls were excited to be able to ride the 4 wheelers. They remembered how much fun they had on our last visit and could hardly wait to pull those babies out of the garage. We were surprised to find out that they had gotten a horse since we were there. His name is Taco. They named him that because if he's naughty they are going to make him into tacos. EEEW! I think so far he's safe from becoming Sunday dinner!
Maggie said she had fun riding Taco, but she only rode for a minute and was done...
Zoe was a pro! She loved every minute of it and wanted to keep riding...
I think Wyatt loved it even more than Zoe did. I'm not sure if the tongue is a nervous thing or an excited thing. Either way it is too cute!
Glenn just needed a Stetson hat and he could be in a western movie. John Wayne reincarnated?
Wyatt was so anxious for Glenn to get back from his solo ride. It was just too fun to see him so excited about riding.
This day was just way too much for Mr. Wy! He fell asleep in the car on our way to the hotel while chewing on his hat. Tired tired boy!!

OUCH!!
Wyatt is for sure ALL BOY! He is covered in bumps and bruises, loves cars, trucks and motorcycles.
His latest bump looks like it really hurts. Just looking at the pictures gives me a headache. Poor guy!
He has figured out how to open the drawers in the kitchen. He learned this trick a long time ago, but hasn't had a problem until today. I have some metal tubes that I bake bread in to make into shapes. He got one of these out of the drawer and was trying to put it back but caught the edge of the drawer with the bottom of the tube just at the moment he bent down. It jabbed him in the eyebrow and immediately swelled up and turned purple. OUCH!!
He cried for a while and then crashed with Dad
I don't think little boys understand how hard it is on Mom to have so many accidents!

Glasses
When we got done with the girls last eye appointment Zoe was so disappointed that she didn't get to chose glasses.
When we got home I found an old pair of Maggie's and took the lenses out of them. She has worn them everyday since. I hope she doesn't ever have to really have them and discover how obnoxious they truly are. For now she's happy with empty frames. That works for me!
She finally feels like she fits in the family! Glasses for everyone!

YAWN
Cranky restless babies and insomnia are no fun!
Wyatt had major issues Saturday night. He was fussy and restless all night long. I finally took him to the living room to rock with him around 5:00 and we slept for a couple of hours there. OUCH! Not a very comfy place to sleep.
Last night even though I was totally drained and all I wanted to do was sleep I COULDN'T!
I have lists of things to get to, but I have no energy to get anything done. So I will sit in my chair playing on the computer until Wyatt is ready for a nap and I will hopefully get to lay down with him.
On a happy note - the kids are playing nicely together. I won't say that too loud or it will end rather abruptly! These moments are few and far between. Summer break gets kind of long sometimes!

Waiting for Dad
This little man loves his Dad so much! He seems to have an internal alarm that goes off when it's time for Dad to come home. He waits on the porch to see when the van pulls in and gets excited to see Dad get out!
In this pictures he was pressing his face between the slats and yelling for Dad.
Afternoons get so long while Dad is at work!

Wyatt just came out of the playroom riding his fire truck. He had a little help from Maggie, but he is having fun being pampered by his big sister.
It must not hurt too much!
It must not hurt too much!Injury Update
Wyatt got his real cast on Wednesday, but I haven't been able to get a very good picture of him with it yet. He's too busy and keeps getting away from me. He drags himself all over the apartment until his is just too tired to go any farther and then he fusses until I come pick him up. I'm glad to see that he doesn't let this slow him down. He loves to be outside and was determined to get there!
These were taken Monday in his temporary splint...
It's cute to see his determination, but sad to see how much he has to work at the littlest tasks.

Park Woes
I don't know if I have mentioned it before, but I REALLY don't like the park. I am not a park Mom. I don't like to be outside. I don't like the dirty equipment. I don't like the noises of the equipment. I don't like chasing kids all over the equipment. I don't like the dogs that are usually at the park annoying the kids. I just don't like the park.
I cave in to the park requests in the summer because it seems to be the only time I get to visit with my friends. Yesterday was the first time this season that we got to go play. It was Wyatt's first time to ever get to play on the playground. Maggie was excited to take him and play with him. They went down the slide first. Wyatt was crying. He cried most of the time we were there. He wouldn't leave mine or Glenn's laps. He wouldn't put weight on his left leg. We didn't know what was going on. We asked Maggie what happened and all we could get out of her was that "he went down the slide wrong". We don't know if his legs were not straight as he went down or if he landed wrong at the bottom. We gave him a dose of Tylenol and decided to wait a while to see if that helped at all. It didn't. He still wouldn't put weight on his leg and he would cry and shake if we set him down.
So a trip to the ER was in order since it was late and there are no after hours clinics here. They did x-rays and didn't see anything obvious on them, but decided to put the splint on just in case there was a break in the growth plate that they weren't able to see. Wyatt was such a good boy through the whole process. He only fussed when the PA touched his leg where it hurt.
So this gives me one more reason to not like the park!

Poor little man!!
*Foot note: the ER Doctor called a few minutes ago to let us know that they looked at Wyatt's films again and they did see a hairline fracture in his shin bone. He will get a cast on Wednesday when we see the Orthopedic Doctor. A fun summer lays ahead of us!!
I DO NOT LIKE THE PARK!!
