A Weekend In Park City

Yeah for good husbands!!! I got off at 2:00pm and Glen surprised me with a Limo Ride up to Park City! We Stayed at the Marrott hotel in a Balcony Suite. Glen is and elite member there and they got us a great deal on the Suite. We told the front desk that it was our 10th Anniversary. While we were out they left us chocolate covered strawberries and a hand written note telling us Happy Anniversary and Thanks for staying with them. We did some shopping and then the Best dinner ever. We went the Ruth Cris's Steakhouse and the staff there was amazing as well. They even upgraded our dinner dessert and we each had a regular dessert free of charge. Then we went back to the hotel because it was raining. In the morning the weather was perfect so we ran over to the Alpine Slide and Alpine Roller Coaster. Then we headed home to the 5 kids and swimming at the American Fork Pool! THANK YOU to ALL who were willing to take ALL 5 KIDS while we were gone.

10 YEARS!!!!

10 years together, 9 years being MOM and DAD, 8 years at BYU!!! 7 hundred packages of DIAPERS and still counting. (or at least it seems like it), Almost 6 Kidos, 560 North Monterey Drive (our first home), 4 minutes of free time (our daily allowance), 3 little girls who think that they are the Queen of the whole house, 2 BOYS who are crazy in love with video games, 1 great Husband who I LOVE so much!!! Here is to the next 10 years!

UPDATE!!! (don't faint)

So I got in trouble last night because I haven't updated the blog!!! (thanks Jinj and Krystal) So since the last time just a few things have changed. Livvy turned 2!!! Wha Hoo... it was at this time that I realized that I left the memory card, to my camera in my mom's camera so I video taped the party instead! This was when Glen pulled out a new memory card which he evidently bought me over a year ago. Yeah so we took pictures!! I went to download the pictures and the card which happens to be 8 gig won't read in my wimpy computer so now the pictures are stuck on the card!

Let's see what else.... School is out! Yeah I get to sleep in. The older kids are really good at trying to sneek over to my room, and close my door before they turn on the TV for morning TV time!

Then around 11:30 we go to Free School lunch. Our School and Geneva Elem. offer lunch to kids 18 and younger for the month of June. So the kids all get lunch and I buy my self a choclate milk.

This past week I took Monday off, so I thought we might get some work done around the house. At least maybe outside the house. I took 2 rolls of nickels ($4.00) and threw them out into the weed infested so called garden. I then told the kids that they could go on a treasure hunt and they could keep any nickels that they found. It worked really well. CJ stopped looking and pulling when he got to $1.05. Anthony liked that he could use the small shovel when he came to a big one and helped for a long time. Betsey and Lexi (my niece) just looked for the money! Then it started to rain on us, so we called it quits and went to school lunch and ran down to Home Depot with my sister in law. Then we came home and she went to Wal-mart.

As soon as I pulled into the drive way my phone rang it was my sister in law telling me that Lexi swallowed a nickel!!!! I told her to bring her other kids to me and she could take Lexi to the ER. So now Devin Kenzie and Jaxon all came to help finish the garden. We got 97% of all the weeds out and Glen and I were able to plant the green beens, Squash, Cantalope, and Cucumbers. As soon as I get my old memory card back I will take pictures and I will post them out here!!

I know more has happened but if you are like me you don't just like to read about it unless there are pictures to show proof so I will work on getting the pictures posted and then I will update again later... Hopefully before the baby gets here... Which by the way is scheduled for Aug. 25th!!!!!!!

GRRRRR! We Have a Bear!!!

Yeah this last Wednesday April 22nd Anthony had Pack Meeting!!! It was the Space Derby. Glen and Anthony worked really hard to get his space rocket complete! And in the first race I swear it took first place.
The Football Rocket next to Anthony Green Bomber is Devin's!! (Anthony's cousin)

Something else happened at Pack Meeting. When the boys turn 9 they get to advance into the Bear Pack. The whole time that they are 8 they are supposed to be working on all the requirements to earn their Wolf. With help from Mom and Dad and the whole family ( including Grandma and Grandpa who had to eat a meal Cooked and Prepared by Anthony) He did it. He earned the wolf badge sot that night he received the wolf patch and had to pin a wolf pin on Mom. Because he worked so hard at getting the wolf Mom and Dad bought him the Bear neckerchief and gave it to him that night!

Congratulations Anthony!!! We are Proud of you!

*funny side note.... because he is a bear now he does not need the wolf hat! When CJ found this out he instantly laid claim on the wolf hat, and said "I can't wait to wear this with THE uniform in November when I am 8*

Just read on A Daily Dose of Debbie that Josh (Anthony's other cousin) got his wolf the very next day Congrats to Josh! Way to go buddy! We are proud of you too!

Happy Easter!!!

Okay so I have been working and working on some Easter Dresses for the girls... Okay I started them out as Christmas Dresses and that didn't work so they are now Easter Dresses. So at 11:58 Saturday Night I put the final touches on them. Don't look too close because I have never made dresses before. But the good thing was that they didn't fall off them when they were wearing them in Church. Here are pictures. I think they turned out pretty good.

No Kayla did not hold still for this hair style but I thought it was really really fun!












Here are all 5 of my Monkeys on Easter Morning!

IT'S A BOY! IT'S A BOY! IT'S A BOY!
Can you tell that I am just a little bit excited!!!! We found out today that we are going to have a little boy! I was really nervous because everyone that I know that is having a baby is having a girl. I have three girls and not only that, I had three girls in a row. It is deffinatley time for another little boy. My Oldest Son turns 9 tomorrow and CJ is not far behind him at 7 1/2. This I believe will finish up the kidos in our family. 3 and 3 I couldn't ask for better. Not only does this make it even in our family, but when he is born that will give my parents 15 grandaughters and 15 grandsons! By the way did I tell you that.....

IT'S A BOY!!!!!!

HELLO FRIENDS!

So I am reading other people's blogs and getting the updates and some have not updated for a while and I think in my head "Slacker" and then I come back to my own blog and realize I haven't updated it since January. So this time I said it out loud "SLACKER"

Here is the Pratt Update....

Spring has sprung and so has Glen. He has the yard going all ready. He has treated the grass with fertilizer and he has power raked the lawn. He and our good buddy Shawn went and got a load of dirt for the flower gardens and the veggie garden. The tulips are coming up along the fence line in the front and we love them. (Thanks to BYU and free Tulips!) We have also started to grow a garden. Yep inside our house we have 3 of the 72 plant starter trays all full. We have 3-5 different tomato plants which equal about 125 tomato starts. Then there is the corn that Anthony wanted to start. Cj chose Canatlope, the girls wanted tomatoes and cucumbers. I have squash and green beans. And we are trying Peas this year. Later we will do rasishes and a few other fast growing veggies.

Last weekend we did the wedding thing with Glen's family. Jeremy got married in the Salt Lake temple and we were lucky to go to the Temple and the reception with them. It is so good to see Jeremy and the "low life shmoe" Pratt's Happy.

Tamma and Glen both caught a cold this weekend and stayed in all day Sunday to play card games and make Apple Pie's Hopefull we will start to get better.

Anthony, CJ, and Betsey are all big fans of Santa Clause!!! Since the weather has been good we were able to get out their bikes that they got for Christmas. Now we just have to find a bike for Kayla. And Livvy she doesn't need a bike, she is out little runa away. Anytime the fence is open and she gets out of the house she will take off running down the street. She loves to be outside.
We are trying to decide on an outdoor something for the kids to play on..... Like a trampoline or swingset of jungle gym. Any ideas?

And Tamma..... well just in case you haven't seen all the kids age tickers to the right of the blog... I added a new one for Baby Flick. Yep we are expecting our last Child!!!! We are hoping for a baby boy! We will schedule the C-section for hopefully the 24th of Aug. We find out next month if it is a boy or a girl. I have been and I am still sick all day. I can't eat very much at one time and then when I try to eat I just end up throwing up! I think having c-sections ages my inside double the amount of a regular delivery so that is why this is our last my inside is getting to old to do this!!! Ha Ha Ha Just kidding but this will be our last!

I will see if I can get some pictures out here to go with this blog a little bit later, but for now that is the update!
