memorial day weekend

This memorial day weekend my mommy came to visit. I am beginning to feel pretty special here. just a few weeks ago my dad came to visit for a day or two. and now my mom is here visiting for a few days. I tell you i am getting spoiled and so are my children. they love having family come to visit. We made some hot dogs, some raspas. We stuffed a pinata full of candy for my moms birthday and went shopping for some essentials. sadly my mom had to leave early than i expected and i wont see her till sept. sad sad me

temple sealing

I finally got endowed and we finally got sealed in the temple as a family! We had friends who are like family to us (especially me since i am the only mormon in mine) come out and participate and it was a wonderful scary experience. I am so grateful that it finally happened. PS it was in april but i am slacker and didnot post till now. :) some pictures of the temple and our friends will come as followed...........

Wyland Art Show May 12,2009 Presents:

As a family we walked down to Boston's school. We participated in some hands on art making. Boston and brody made feathered masks, skateboards and an aquarium sheet. It was a night showcasing all art work done by the kids and here are a few of Bostons!

Brynden vs weaning take 2

Okay so bright idea yesterday. I am going to go COLD turkey on this weaning thing! I hid the boppy pillow so he couldnt find it and ask for the booby. I refused the booby giving all day yesterday. Sadly this resulted in huge dolly parton like PAINFULL engorged boobies for me and a slightly angry Brynden. woke up to find myself still in pain and wait for it TMI : was in my bathroom this morning, at 130am, hand expressing out milk to relieve some discomfort.... told you it was TMI. Alas was not able to get enough out called it quits and went back to bed. Brynden woke up at 445am wanting booby. I refused giving him cow milk and a snuggle instead. he fell asleep in my bed, score 1 point for me. everyone awake by 645am (this is early) boobs still in MASSIVE amounts of pain/soreness. after feeding Brynden breakfast, have given in. (after all book did say may have to express once a day to relieve discomfort while weaning)...He nearly jumped for joy. After both of us have been relieved, have now decided to not go cold turkey but to go down to 2x a day once in the morning and once in the evening. Over all Brynden takes the fight with a TKO
