Here are some random pics of our summer.

Michael and George in Mexico

Scott, Michael and George

Most of you have probably heard but here is the story. Last weekend Michael got a call and received the news that his boss and good friend George McDaniel died in a helicopter crash in UT. The news shocked him and they hadn't been able to get in touch with the family. I wasn't home at the time James and Kara were leaving for TN that night and I was getting ready for the goodbye party. Michael was as close as family with the McDaniel's. He met George at Sol Rio and became fast friends. If Michael wasn't to be found with is brother James he was off with George somewhere. I soon found out that the words "I am in a meeting" only half the time meant he was in an actually meeting the other half meant that he and George were goofing off somewhere. George was a great friend and will sorely be missed.

It is amazing how the spirit can teach in times of tragedy and it has been working upon my heart. In the mist of this tragedy I felt extremely blessed that my husband wasn't with George this day. He usually gets taken along on these adventures but because it was Jame's last weekend in town he didn't go. I am glad I have the opportunity to tell my husband one more time that I love him and that I am grateful for all that he does for me. I am grateful for the understanding that comes with the knowledge of the gospel and for the things that I learned from George and that is LOVE to take every opportunity to Love. To love life and the adventures that it takes us on. To not only love when it is easy but when it is difficult.

Last Day of Swimming Lessons

I guess her pony was bugg'in her!

Seth was complaining about the sun being to bright.

She looked so nervous but was so proud of her self.

Playing with Cousins!

I loved the summertime growing up and being able to go play with my cousins. It's so great they are like siblings that don't get on your nerves as much, at least most of the time!

Lauren and Syd are only 3 wks apart and they got along so great. It was a lot of fun to see.

Seth was the only boy, He took advantage of this.

Curly Sue!! I found some sponge curlers and decided to do the girls hair. I did think they would actually keep them in but they really liked it.

TOO CUTE!!

Eaton Update

Life is good. I love summer!! It seems impossible to be sad when it sunny out. I have a always loved the sumer time but after the perpetually long winter we had I am really enjoying this one. The kids are loving it also. They are in swimming lessons Seth is doing awesome and drives me crazy all morning asking if it time to go yet. Syd on the other hand she loves the water but is still very stranger wary. (I thought we were passed this stage but Sydney really doesn't like a lot of people first off.) The first day she would cry when ever the teacher would touch her. The second day she screamed pretty much the whole lesson. But on the third day (with a lot of bribing) she finally did much better. While Seth is anxiously waiting time to go Syd will say that she doesn't want to swim anymore. I still find it so crazy how different they are. Makes me wonder what number 3 will be like.
We had a great 4th with Kara, James and Elle. It is so fun that the kids are getting older and can enjoy the festivities. We went to a parade and down to the Green Belt to enjoy the booths there. The kids got there faces painted and enjoyed a little to much sugar, got to love a holiday. We were a little nervous about how Sydney would react to the fireworks because the night before when I few were going off she got scared. But she loved them. It was a great night and always a great reminder of how truly blessed we are to live in the LAND OF THE FREE!! Seth is at a very curious stage and kept asking questions like "Where is America?" And Why are we in the United States? I thought we were in Idaho Falls? It is very cute. Can be annoying because with every answer seems to come another question. Michael showed him a map to explain. I love that he wants to learn.
I have lost the cord to the camera but will post pictures soon.

Syd's Hair Cutt!

I have been debating for awhile now if I should cutt Sydney's hair. I finally decided to and it looks very cute I'm glad I did it.

Here are my 8 random facts I don't really have anyone to tag but here are mine.

1. I have been craving Chocalate Chip cookie dough. I can't get enough. Although I am trying to not go hog wild.
2. I hate doing laundary!! There is always more to do.
3. I miss the Sunny weather of good old California. I love hot lazy days by the water and that doesn't really happen in Idaho.
4. I am glad that my family has been farily health this year.
5. I look forward to Nap Time! I love the peace and quite.
6. Its so nice that Seth is getting bigger he has become such a big help. Yesterday, he vacumed for me and did a great job. It does make me a little sad to know that they won't always be little.
7. I worry too mcuh, tyring to work on this one.
8. I love back rubs!

San Francisco

Michael and I just got back from good old San Fransico. It brought back a lot of memories for me from my childhood. We had a lot of fun, even Michael did if he wasn't driving. We got the true City life experience. First, We got a big dooor ding in our rental car in that parking lot by the Wharf. Gratefully, we got insurance. Then, at my brothers place you have to drive around the blocks to find a place to park. The first couple of days we got pretty lucky but then it took us at least 25 mins cricling before we found something and it was pretty far away. Then the next morning when we going to get the car we were surprised to see so many spots open. Little did we know that it was becasue there was street cleaning that morning and we got a ticket. Least to say Michael hated driving in the city. Pepole are extremely impatient and love to HONK! Micahel, thought that they were all honking at him even though that was only the case half of the time.

Anyway, we did have a lot of fun to we went to Alcratraz and Walked around Fishermen's Wharf. Michael really liked all the seals on the docks at pier 39

Michael loved trying all sorts of food. Not really what I enjoy but he had fun time doing it. He had some lobster for the first time, I am not sure he was all that impressed. Over all it was a great trip but always nice to get home to the kids. I was grateful for family that watched them while we were gone.

Today we found out were are having a GIRL!! We are really excited, I will try to post the ultrasound picture but haven't figure out how to get it formated correctly.

Seth Home!!

YEAH! My boy is home. He has been very sweet. He keeps telling me "Mom your just so glad I'm home huh?" I sure am. My Sister was also up today and I had made the girls tutu's they had fun playing in them.

Girly, Girl!

It has been an interesting week with Seth gone. I finally finished painting this cute doll house that Michael made for Syd, to store her toys. When we put it in her room and I showed it to her, I said what do you think? she responded "I don't know (pause) Wow! I love it!" It was very cute. She loves to put he swimming suit on and say I'm going swimming with Papa. Papa Wheeler that is, I think that she only thinks that she can swim in CA. It has been fun hanging out with her and enjoying her personality with out Seth around. She has been very protective of her brother things while he has been gone and will not let anyone play with them. She has also started sleeping in his bed while he has been away. I am not sure if she will want to give it up for him. He may have to take the top bunk. Sydney did a lot better with Seth gone than I thought she would. I think the puppy we recently got named Tico has been a great distraction. I can't believe that we have a dog. He is toy austrlian shepard and is actually a very good puppy. He doesn't bark which I love and he is great with the kids.

The kids named the pup after a cartoon charcter on Dora.

He really didn't want to stay put for the picture.

Life has been pretty uneventful and really quiet with Seth in TN. I am so glad that he has had a ball and talking to Mommy and Daddy has been almost torture for him. I realize that my little boy is growing up and that makes me a little sad. It will be intresting to have him back even though Michael and I leave the day after he returns to go to San Fransico. I will be a patient for my brothers Dental Exams. It will be fun to have a weekend with Michael even though it was like pulling teeth to get him to come but hopefully he will enjoy the weekend.

More of my Cuties!

Kara took some more pics of my kids. I am loving it! I also hopped in a couple. Enjoy!!

Quack Quack Quack!!

On Saturday I took the kids to go feed te Ducks! It was Sydney's first time and she was a little skeptical but soon got the idea. There were actually alot of geese around and they made me nervous becasue the would come up on the shore. Seth was really cute he found this one little duck and kept trying to through it some bread but the gesse would get it first he was getting so mad it was quite funny. I finally helped him reach the little guy and he said "He wouldn't be so hungry it the mean guys stayed away."

At the park!

We did have a few nice days finally, but then we got some more snow. This weather is really crazy. I decided to not dewll on the fact that its May and we have snow( As you can proably tell I'm still a little annoyed). The kids love the park they don't seem to care if it's chilly. I just don't last long.

Giving Up the Wii!!

I couple weeks ago we had to suspend Seth from the Wii. He had thrown out a game becasue he got frustrated with it and thought that if he didn't have it anymore he would be able to get a new one. Well, I thought this would be a good time to try and teach him about the value of money. It's been three weeks and he is still obessed about when he gets to play the wii again. Forget about the lesson of money. Anyway, today we both lost it. He was begging to play and so I told him that if he behaved after naps I would hook it back up. I figured I had tortured him long enough. About 20 mintues later he tells me he is tried and is going to take a nap (he had only been awake for a hour). Anyway, to make the drama short. He got so upset when I told him that it wasn't time yet and I lost it because I was so sick of him losing control of a game. So we are getting rid of the Wii. I am a little sad it was fun to play and it was a nice distraction but I just can't seem to get Seth to understand that there are more things to do. I guess he is just to young to get it. Anyways, nice to vent to you all.

Sickness going around, YUCK!!

So Seth and I got the Bug. At first I though I was just pregnancy sick again but then Seth got it also so I figured it was the bug. The nice thing about be sick to was Michael had to clean up Seth mess and it was BAD!! All over his bed yuck!! Well, I thought he was all better and then we had another long night. He woke up complaining about his ear hurting. I while back this happened and it was because his ear cannal got so blocked with wax. So with a flash light we saw that it had happened again with the other ear. You would have thought we were torturing the kid the way he was sreaming. Gratefully I had some ear drops that softtens the wax and it took awhile but we cleared it up. Isn't being a Mom great throw up, ear wax, it's enough to make me sick all over again. I am not sure if he has something else becasue he has been complaining about his throat hurting and has a little temperature. But he is as always a sweet kid he just so practical Last night he just kept saying "I can't take it anymore." and "I am just having a really tuff time." It did makes us chuckle in the mist of be woken up one to many times.

Trip to TN

So Seth is so excited about visitng TN with Beck next month. Everyday he ask me if he needs to pack yet and then tells me how much he will miss me. It can really get on my nerves. I probably shoud have waited to tell him about the trip. Today I had to tell him that he might not be able to go if he couldn't be paitent. This did not go over well he told me that it would be nice because he just really needs to see Ginny. Cute, but I know he is going to have a blast. It really is to bad that it so far away. It would be nice to see everyone more often but I guess it makes the visits a little more special. I will miss the little bugger but I think that Syd will miss him the most. They have really become great playmates.

Games, Games and More Games

So Focused!!

Seth is obsessed with Games!! He loves them! All I hear all day "Mom can I play some games?" Anyway, he loves the wii, board games, card games, memory games, computer games etc. While Sandra was here she hooked him up to the wide world of internet games. It took me forever but I finally figured out where to go to let him play some on the computer. It is better if he plays the Wii though he knows how to work it and I don't get interrupted to help as much. He also loves borad games but gets mad at Syd when she doesn't play them right. He is at a fun age and getting bigger all the time where has my little boy gone!

Earings

When, sandra was here last friday she braved taking Syd into get her ears pierced! Michael, has been wanting to get them done but I said that I didn't want to take her and hear her scream. She is kind a panzy and doesn't take well to strangers, so I didn't think it would go over well. I guess the worry was for nothing she did a really good job and after she loved looking in the mirror at her Pretty ears and showing them off to everyone.
