In-Laws

Well, it has been a busy last few days, with Thanksgiving and all. And I just smashed my thumb in between the dishwasher and a drawer, so typing is very difficult. Wayne's dad found out that he has skin cancer yesterday, which shouldn't have been as surprising to me as it was because he has had the possibility of it a few times. They took him in for surgery to cut out the infected fatty tissue in his cheek, in hopes that they will get all of it and won't have to resort to things like chemotherapy. Just the word "cancer" makes me nervous, and to have it in our immediate family makes it worse. I love my father-in-law very much, he holds the family together when we are mad at each other, which happens at least once or twice a year, for one reason or another! So I decided to dedicate this blog to my in-law family! I love my own parents very much, and talk to them 4 or 5 times a day, but they live in Phoenix and we don't get to see them very often. I am glad to have Wayne's family living so close. I feel like I have been adopted into their family. It is hard to imagine not having them as family, I really don't remember not having them in my life. It is really nice to know that I could call any one of my husband's family members with a problem and they would rush over. They are very supportive and loving. They help each other out, even when you don't want to be saved :) Other than a few choice friends that I try to hang on to, they are my social life, and I wouldn't have it any other way. I love my husband more than he can imagine, but his family is the icing on the cake. I am very grateful for them. So, here's to my in-laws the Salmond-Heiner-Anderson Family! Cheers!

Some days church is too hard with 3 boys!

Well, as I have mentioned before, Wayne and I are both in our ward choir. And on Sunday we had a choir performance, so we had to be to church by 10:15, which shouldn't be that hard except we were up until 11:00 on Saturday night playing Rock Band at Tom and Julie's house. So we drag ourselves and our 3 boys to church and practice until 5 minutes to 11, and as we sit down I realize that we had pulled out the pork roast but hadn't started it cooking, so Wayne went home to put it on before our song and took Shad with him. Well, when he came back to sacrament meeting Shad had peed his pants. I told Wayne that I had brought a change of pants for Shad (he is still having a few accidents when I am not around to remind him to go on the toilet) but I had not had time to grab underwear. So Wayne took Shad out and put the new pants on him with nothing underneath. Well we made it through sacrament meeting and we all went to our classes. About 20 minutes into Sunday school, Tanner has diarrhea and I have to leave to go change him. Ten minutes after I get back, one of the nursery leaders comes in and asks one of us to come with her, and since I was holding Tanner, Wayne volunteers. So, class ends and relief society begins, but Wayne has not come back, even for his scriptures. I had brought a bottle for Tanner but the only thing we had to put in the bottle was red koolaid, so I let him drink it in relief society when he started getting fussy and when he was done I put it on the floor, well apparently he got a hold of it and was playing with it on the seat in front of me. I really didn't think anything of it until the lady who had been sitting there came back and sat in the seat next to that one. I decided I didn't want to put anyone else out and stood up to grad him and found that he had been splattering koolaid on the seat, oops! So I took the bottle and then put him on the floor. 5 minutes later, Tanner was in the isle next to me and of course he up chucks the RED koolaid in a big pile on the floor. There was no one there to leave Tanner with so I picked him up and raced to the bathroom to get some paper towels to clean up the barf. While I was wiping it up, Tanner diarrheas once again!! At this point I decide I am done. After I change him I go outside to get in the van and it is gone. I assumed that what ever happened with Shad helped Wayne decide to go home so I made a call home and found out that Shad had pooped his pants and with no underwear on it had come down the leg and onto the floor. Well the lady that was in nursery was the bishop's wife and she had asked the bishop to sit with Shad so that no more would come out of his pants. And his wife mentions that Shad had no diaper on and no underwear, which they had thought was weird. Wayne was too embarrassed to explain what had happened and just grabbed Shad and pinched off his pants around his ankles and walked out the door!! Needless to say, we all went home, and poor Liam, who was having fun in primary had to go with us. I sure hope this doesn't become a regular thing on Sunday

Halloween

So, I decided to post my boys in their Halloween costumes, because everyone else put pictures of their kids on their blog and I am beginning to feel left out, so here are some Halloween pictures! And as you can tell my boys are my heros!

Tag your it!

Here's a game of tag. And now it is my turn to tag people so here it goes: Cassidy, Julie, Connie, Katie F., and Katie S. (I love having 2 Katie's in my life :) Thanks Anne!

*How old is he? 28, just barely!
*Who is taller? He is by an inch and a half, thank goodness

*Who can sing the best? Well, we are both in choir, so I will say we can each pull our own, but I like to hear him more

*Who cooks dinner? I usually do, but the kids favorite meal is crapes and that is Wayne's dish, so he gets his fair share of cooking in.

*Who is the first to admit when they're wrong? I am but I usually sad it mad so it doesn't fix the fight

*Who wears the pants? Most of the time I have to because Wayne just doesn't care what happens, but every now and then he will put his foot down and I lose
Have fun blogging!

Well, it was that time of the year again to take pictures of the grand kids for grandma Salmond. So the family got together not only for that picture but for a Salmond family picture and I wanted to take some of our family, because we haven't had a good family picture since Tanner had been born. We had Tom and Julie's kids in red, my kids in white and Steve and Cassidy's kids in blue. We also told the rest of the family to dress nice and no t-shirts. It seems so organized! Right up until we started taking pictures. I had my kids in white t-shirts, what was I thinking, and we were at a park. I spent the first 30 minutes yelling at Liam and shad to not get their shirts dirty before the pictures. Then we put all of the kids together for the picture. Hahaha! That was the craziest 10 to 15 minutes we have had in awhile. Kids crying, running around. We kept trying to get them to sit, but most of them didn't want to. I tried singing, but the only ones that even cared were my Shad and Liam! Next, Julie and I started making high pitched screaming noises, which got the kids attention and they all looked at us, but they weren't smiling. So we cut our loses and decided we would pick from what we had. So, now that the kids are all riled up, lets take the big family picture (OK it sounded OK at the time). We got to the point that we just had grandma Salmond snapping picture and hoped for a good one. I think we will have to crop heads to get everyone looking at the camera. But, we accomplished grandma Salmond's Christmas present for another year. Thank Goodness!!
