Brittnay's Birthday Party

Travis's younger sister (April) came into Utah from Idaho to visit and her youngest daughter turned 2! So we went over to Grandma and Grandpa Walkers house and had cake and opened presents! The kids had fun playing with Uncle Derek, who was kind enough to just sit there and let the kids do who knows what to them. Unfortunately whenever we get a lot of kids at Grandma's her house looks like a tornado went through!

Childrems Museum Field Trip

This was Nathan's last field trip of the year. The boys had a lot of fun here. Kimball was so excited but got tired halfway through but still had fun. He did manage to get a black eye though, he was trying to climb up the stairs and fell down. It was just a little sore, but the next morning he woke up with a black eye.
My Building Boys. They had so much fun putting these together!
They got to stand and play in a helicopter. They had fun but didn't like the loud noices that it made.A Beehive hole that they played in. Kimball loved this little door and kept going in and out!Construction Site, the boys probably spent most of their time here.This is a little house they had and Nathan's teachers were trying to hold Kimball for me, but as you can see he would have none of it.It is nice to know that my boys can do things and that there will always be a job for them at any grocery store.Rocking Climbing. Brandon got to the top no problem, but Nathan didn't make it too far, he got scared and then Kimball well, he didn't get it.

Silly kids waiting to go home. We were going to go to a park and have a picnic but it stormed all the way home, so we just went home and ate.

Just like their Dad

I was sitting at the computer doing who knows what and I look over and there are my three children playing on the computer. Now I like to play on the computer but can do other things that I like too, but like their father they love the computer. Travis likes to play around with the computer and try new operating systems, create website and whatnot, and lets not get onto the subject of computer games. He has at least 20 computer games and has beat them all! And then on some of the more role playing games he goes back and plays them again. So needless to say I think that Brandon, Nathan and Kimball will have a great love for the computer as does their father. If you question it, just look at the pictures.

Catie's High School Graduation

At the end of May my little sister graduated from high school. I was able to fly out for the weekend to see her graduated. I had a good time and it was nice to spend time with my family without any kids with me. It was a nice way to start the summer.

Sick

Curse the flu! Curse those who gave it to us! YOU KNOW WHO YOU ARE!! It started with me throwing up early Monday morning. I felt better yesturday and was able to get a few things done. Nathan came home from school and was fine, and then later in the night said his tummy hurt. Thinking that I knew what was coming, I gave Nathan a bowl to carry around with him. Brandon didn't eat dinner, but that is normal, if he is hungry he eats, if not he doesn't. Meanwhile Travis is to be found in the bathroom constantly, and saying that he doesn't feel well.

Nathan goes to bed early after throwing up a few times, he just wants to sleep. I cannot get Brandon to go to bed until after 9:30pm. It is the summer and it will be a few weeks until he starts his summer school so I don't mind. But I wake up to 11pm to hear from Travis who is in the bathroom that Brandon threw up all over his bed. I go in and am immediately hit with that nasty smell. I kick Travis out of our bed to sleep downstairs while Brandon with his bowl come lay down with me. Every hour, on the hour Brandon throws up. He is so tired that he throws up and immediately falls back down. Poor little guy.

This morning Nathan is feeling better, saying his tummy is still not happy but he is acting like himself. So he still has his bowl with him. Brandon is still in my bed sleeping, poor little guy. He has gotten it worse. Travis is still sleeping downstairs. Now Kimball....so far we are safe. He is acting like himself but I will keep a close eye on him, since he has no idea that when you are sick, you throw up in the toliet or a bowl.

So those who have suffered this 24 hour flu, you have my sympathy, and those who have not yet received it, I pray that you don't get it!

Hope you all enjoyed the little update from the Hendrix Household!
