Seth has been asking for a few days if he could cut Lukes hair to be a Mohawk. I made him wait until after church today and told him that he will have to cut it off by Saturday so he will look like a nice boy for church next Sunday. Luke loves it! He thinks that it is so cool and I think he looks so cute:) I just might let him keep it for the summer!

Whoa!
That was all I could say when I saw the picture Haylee was drawing during sacrament meeting. She was looking at her hand trying to copy what her hand looked like. I took the note pad from her and asked her if she knew what it meant to have the middle finger sticking out and she had not idea. I tried to explain to her as quietly as I could that it is not a nice thing to stick your middle finger at anyone because it means bad things. She almost started crying because she had no idea she just was noticing that her middle finger was longer:) I just couldn't resist taking a picture because it was too funny. I am so glad that she didn't hold it up to show me otherwise the people behind us in sacrament could have gotten a litte offended!

Batter Up
Awhile back when I was lost trying to find the place to get Haylee her glasses I found a batting cage and have been wanting to take the kids ever since. Well today was such a nice day we had a little breeze and it was a high of 75 degrees so what better time to give it a try. We got about half way there and looked at the kids and they were both wearing flip flops so we had to turn around to get tennis shoes on and we were off again. I must say I was very nervous that Haylee was going to hurt herself somehow but she did great. Luke did really well too. He really is such a natural at doing most sports and he had so much fun. I actually got in there myself and it was super fun. I cant wait to go back. What a fun thing to do during the summer to keep busy. The guy working there was really nice because of course I still had flip flops on but he said I could go anyways. He must have seen my talent in my eyes! Seth unfortunately didn't get to take a turn because he threw out his back at work and could barley stand. Luke has been talking about it all day and I am so glad that they both had fun.

Field Day Fun!
The kids were so excited this year to participate in field day. They both got to compete in to events and then also got to do the tug-o-war with their class. Luke's field day was on Monday and first up was the scooter race. I totally remember having those scooters when I was a kid and loved doing them in P.E.. Next up was the bean bag toss. He managed to get 9 out of the 10 bags in the whole. He got first place in that. Way to go bud. You know what he actually did three events. He told me that he also did the 50 meter run and got first place even though he tripped and fell down. All the kids were getting their faces painted by the 5th graders and he asked for a skull. Pretty small but hey he was excited. Luke did such a great job and had such a fun day. His class got 2nd place in in the all around events. They had some other really fun events that he didn't get to do like the pie eating contest, the licorice game, donut eating contest, toe fishing, water balloon toss, and many more. As for Haylee, well I was a little nervous for her as she is a little clumsy. Her events were the centipede and slip-n-slide baseball. They finished 2nd in the centipede and man that looked hard. She got a little whole in her shorts from dragging her bum across the field. I thinks her favorite of all though was the slip-n-slide baseball. She got soaking wet. Her class lost in the tug-o-war but barley. Over all though her class got 2nd too. It was so fun to see the kids having fun with their classmates and being silly.
