Mama bear Tess

Tess' 1st grade class did a production of the 3 bears just before school ended, she was one of the Mama bears. Not only did she know all her lines, she knew, and mouthed along with all the rest! She was also given some end of the year awards, Miss photogenic, and Best dancer. She really likes school, and can't wait to start 2nd grade!

Luke & Morgan sittin' in a ....

Hole! How cute is this little couple? Morgan is a friend, a tomboy, and an amazing athlete, not girlie at all. We (her parents and us) think we should re-institute arranged marriages! Her dad works in the Recreation dept. at SUU, so we get all the hook-ups with gear, camping, climbing, canyoneering, you name it.
The next pic is at Zions, Chris has discovered some really cool canyons that require ropes. Anyone want to join this summer, just give us a holler!

Progress

We finally got the woodchips in the back corner under the swing set. It looks great. Now none of our yard could be considered white trash anymore and after 4 years that's a huge accomplishment for us. I'm sure our renter is happy as she has grandkids and I know they'll be loving it. She's a neat freak so Dru and I don't have to worry about the chips getting everywhere cause I know she'll tidy every one up. She's great that way lol. We can also push Masaru on the swing and not get his legs cut up by the long grass!! We've never gotten so many comments from our neighbours "Wow you guys have really tamed this yard""This looks so good guys, well done""We're so proud of the work you've done on the yard""You guys are such hard workers" It's pretty funny.
We're going up to Wyoming this week with Dru and Mas cause we've got nothing better to do and it'll help with the full day potty training, which is going ok. I just got called into Weblos, again, so I'm trying to change my attitude about that. 6 months pregnant and called into Weblos!!!! Must be meant to be lol. I know all the boys though cause we teach them every Sunday in our Primary class!! I'm sure they're excited to have me as their leader!!! So that's Primary, Activities and cub scouts. I feel like I'm in New Zealand!!!
Dru's been sick the last couple of days. I was excited he was getting this time off before Wyoming as he could get a bunch of stuff done but he's on the bed KO'd so maybe I'll just have to wait.
Ok that's about it from us.

Naps all around

Yoda and Bjorn take a nap on the floor when we got home from the puppy park today. One of the only times that Yoda will nap. He had a great time at the park with two Mini Schnauzers, a puppy pug, three jack's and one furry little white thing. Yoda loves to run and play chase. He's not so good about playing fetch, but he does love a good game of chase! I found a nice bench under a tree and read my parents magazine. It was a great day at the puppy park.

Take me out to the ball game

We went to an LA Dodgers baseball game last night. After a really slow start the Dodgers pulled it off in the 10th inning with a walk off home run by Omedo Saenz. We even were adventurous and left Yoda home alone for the night. Something we haven't done since we got him. He was a good little puggle and didn't destroy anything. We hope to get in a few more fun evenings out before the baby comes.

Kate said....

In church last Sunday, Kate told our neighbor, "Tess sleeps with Ella, I sleep in my bed, Dad sleeps with mom, and Luke just needs a woman to sleep with!" She thinks that because he 'has a whole other side' (queen bed) he needs a sleeping companion. Of course, our neighbors think she is hilarious. She has also started sassing me quite a bit, open defiance more like it, and she thinks it's funny to repeat her questions till I go insane.
"Mom, can you get me somefing?!"
"Not now, Kate."
Now?
No
Now?
No
Now?
No
Now?
NO!!!!!!! she can keep going forever....if this keeps up, I'll be certifiable by next month.

Can't think of one

Well we were asked to contribute so here I am contributing. Our life is great at the moment. I'm doing well in this pregnancy. I've learned from the first go around and have only put on 1pound this pregnancy so far. So that's good for the after effects!!! I started off pretty big though so hopefully it'll stay low. Obviously everyone knows it's a girl and no we don't know what we're going to call her, but if we did, I don't think we'd tell lol.
Dru's working hard and doing his thing. I love staying at home and doing my thing. I'm starting again on the potty training with Masaru and so far it's a 50 50 split of sucess. He pooped in the potty yesterday and on the carpet today. He peed in the potty all today and on my mates floor yesterday. So you know...................I can't wait for what tomorrow entails.
That's us for now.
Love the Dru Nakaya clan
