The Nordfelt's

And it feels like it's only been five minutes...underwater. I'm totally kidding. The anniversary happenings: Not only did my sister-in-law take our kids for 24 hours, they gave us two free dinners to the Scheinder's buffet up at the Zermatt in Midway. Hello deliciousness! It was a beautiful evening up in Midway. Then we headed home and watched Mall Cop. We are now dumber from watching that movie. I probably shouldn't even have mentioned it. Moving on... In the morning we rode our bikes up the Provo River Trail to Vivian Park, and then back down. It is an awesome 10 mile ride. I recommend to all. After the bike ride we headed to the the temple. It was a nice 24 hours without the kids. Thanks again Keysha and Chad!

I was born on Father's day 28 years ago. So it was a special treat to have my birthday land on that day again. I love my dad. Here is my family that came down and had lunch. It was nice. Katelin was motherly, Kanyon was taking steps and I was ready to pass out because I was so tired. It's been a long week.

Oh my has this been two busy weeks! My dear friend Nate Trayner was in dire need of some help. (Meaning= the poor thing is in this 4th year of med school pulling 80 hour weeks in the ER and not much had been done for planning the actual event and he wasn't getting help from his fellow class officers). So myself, Tristie, and Mark Schmidt stepped in and busted our butts getting ready for the big ten-year-reunion. We had 12 days to plan the entire program, get donations, call everyone about the reunion. I didn't sleep much and spent hours on the phone contacting businesses for donations to our prize drawing. I am happy to report that I collectively gathered over $800 from 30 businesses by myself. Mark Schmidt and I had a contest going on to see who could get the most and I smoked him!! We ended up selling over 170 tickets and actually made money on the event! That money will go into an account for the 20-year-reunion. Anyway the reunion was so fun!! It was so weird seeing people ...

My old roommates came over to my house for a little get together and birthday party for me. It was so sweet of Lacey to bring a delicious chocolate cake and ice cream from Costco. It was nice to be with these ladies again. We are so glad Summer is back from Kentucky! Thanks again girls! Summer, Lacey, Marcae, Kelly, Terri, Tanelle

Not everything is negative with KC. He certainly has sweet moments. By the way, picking crab apples is helping and he swears he will "never pick the garden again." I won't hold my breath. KC can ride without training wheels. These pictures were taken almost a month ago. Kanyon cheering on KC from the front door. There he goes!

KC picked the garden. Again. Fourth time makes mom and dad furious. His thoughts on the matter when asked why he did it: "It's so,so fun. Don't you wish you didn't have a garden so I wouldn't pick it?" I got some advice from a my sisters Mother-in-law, who has been teaching special ed for years. She suggested to saturate him with the activity that he keeps doing until he is sick of it. So after he picked the garden, i made him pick all the leaves off of three bushes that need to be taken out, and he had to pick crab apples off of our tree until a huge bucket was half full. He was not happy when I made him do it and he cried. GOOD! However, when he was finished he said he had fun. We'll see how much fun he has tomorrow when I make him fill up the rest of the bucket. Maybe it will be even more fun when we empty the bucket and start over Tuesday... I am one ANGRY mother. (By the way, we have taken away his scooter, bike, and several super heroes. I told him ...

We have a problem with our son. We are beside ourselves. This kid went out and picked all the leaves and killed 10 of the plants in our garden. I went and replaced them all the next morning. He had quite the talking to and was told he couldn't ride his bike or his four-wheeler if he did it again. (The two things he LOVES) That night, he did it again. I spanked his bare butt, hard. Now people, you would think that this would give someone the message. KC didn't get that message. KC doesn't "Get" messages and it is quite frustrating. KC, yet again, killed three plants in the garden last night. He knows he does wrong. This time I didn't spank, I cried and asked him to explain himself. He couldn't do it! He waits until no one is watching. He sneaks in the backyard and does it. We don't get it. This was our conversation today. I was very nice and sweet while asking. He doesn't answer if I talk to him while I am angry. Mom: "KC, why did you pick momm...
