We started off the year running our 2 month old kitten through the dishwasher. In the time it took to grab the soap from the kitchen cabinet she jumped inside the loaded dishwasher and then I started it not knowing she was inside. I heard yowling and meowing about 30 seconds later and opened it to find a drenched kitten hiding in the back corner of the steamy dishwasher. Thankfully, we dried her off and she's doing ok. Since then, she also hid in the fridge when Tyler put the milk away and she was in there for almost 2 hours. She likes to jump into the tub while the little boys are bathing. We're all praying that this curious kitten survives 2021.
We went to the ice castles in Midway and they get better every year. Lots of fun ice caves, lights, and slides.
Our weiner dog, Leroy, was digging out of our backyard multiple times a day, despite installing a brand new fence, filling the holes immediately, adding barricades, scent deterrents, and doing training. He also pees in the house the minute we let him in despite being house trained. Overall, he requires a tremendous amount of attention and work so we decided it was time to part ways. I listed him on KSL (classifieds) and then we went to an activity and I left my phone in the car. By the time I got back to my phone 3 hours later, I had 76 text messages and 7 voicemails asking if he was available and if they could come get him right then, some people saying they lived 2-3 hours away. We gave him to a family who had just lost a weiner dog over Christmas and was OBSESSED with them. The Mom said her sister has 2 weiner dogs, her dad has 4, and her family has 1 (was 2 before the one passed away due to old age) so Leroy would have cousins to play with all the time. She was in tears when she met him and I felt kind of guilty that I wasn't at all sad to give him away!
One of my Christmas gifts to Kyle was to try a sensory deprivation float chamber. He has been interested in trying them for a few years. They fill a pod with saline solution and it's the same temperature as your skin so you really can't feel the water once you get in. The idea is that it eliminates all the senses so you can unlock untapped cognitive function and the body's natural abilities to heal and relax. Also, Alexa gave us face masks :).
We still love home church. Liam loves to run over and kneel down with Kyle when he blesses the sacrament.
Baby got his bottom teeth and is already in size 4 diapers. Liam always tells me excitedly, "Mommy, baby LOVES me!!"
Tad ran up to me in a panic and said something is wrong, you need to come with me. He led me to the laundry room and said "someone is punching the laundry and trying to get out!" I was drying some tennis shoes :).
The kids were excited to go sledding with neighbors at Tibble Fork.
