Motherhood Trials

O.K. So just a little whining. My Sabbath hasn't gone as I had hoped. Hazel Refused to sit through the passing of the sacrament. Justin was helping pass and she thought that she needed to be by his side. Out in the hall wasn't much better as people stared at me like i was a bad Mom when I couldn't control my kids and make them sit and behave. I know they were thinking, " And she's having another one!" I don't know what it is about Sacrament but my kids are horrible! Then Hazel finally gets to go to nursery, But does she? No, I have to stay with her and when I do manage to sneak out, She falls asleep! Why can't that happen in sacrament. So I take her out of nursery and wake her up so she will nap when we get home. Does she? No after an hour of rocking and walking and making her cry, she is still wide awake and ornery as ever. Layla, my never napping child even took a nap. But Hazel didn't close her eyes until Layla woke up. Now at 6:30, She is just waking up and won't sleep tonight!! Just my luck! I have to work early in the morning. Here are some pics of the way she finally managed to fall asleep.



Fiddle Festival






Justin Had to work late for a couple of days, so the girls and I went to Weiser for Fiddle Week. Layla enjoyed the carnival a lot last year, so I thought it would be a good distraction. We are waiting for Justin to have a second interview for a job in Provo. We really want it and it has been hard to be patient!! So we went to Weiser on Wednesday night and stayed Thursday and left on Friday.
Grandma Walker wrecked her car while we were there. Her and Layla were going down to get the music ready for the clogging performance and Grandma rear ended someone. Layla bit her lip pretty good, But they were both OK. She kept telling me how the air bag hit grandma and she was going to miss her so much. I think she thought grandma was dead or going to jail, But she didn't think she would ever see her again. Silly Girl!!
But these are a few pics of her on the carnival rides. We lied and said Hazel was 2 so that she could go on a ride as well. It was a big mistake. She cried and tried to scale the gates to go on another ride. So I took her back to the house and Grandma and Layla stayed and rode rides until 10 pm. She Loved it!! Thanks Grandma!!

Ballet Recital





Layal had a ballet recital yesterday. She was excited the whole day to dance on "the big stage". She did a wonderful job. After her performance she was coming around the corner and a girl ran into her and spilled Coke all over her tutu. She was pretty devastated. After 15 minutes of crying she finally calmed down. After we bailed on the recital (we went 4th and there was 2+ hours more to go) we went out to eat with Grandma and Grandpa Walker. It was lots of fun. We are so proud of Layla, she dances so well.
