The Thornleys

It's been so crazy lately, yet I haven't taken any pictures :( So I guess this is a little update.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Justin took students to Logan for 3 days for State Contests. Prior to this he had been going in to the school super early each morning to practice with the different teams to get them all ready. Well all the practice paid off, because his students did amazingly well! He was so proud of them!

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

While he was gone Mason got really sick. Mason is never one to complain, so when he started telling me he felt sick and that his ears hurt, I knew it was serious. Pretty soon he was throwing up every ten minutes. I called to get him into the doctor and they didn't have any openings. Well I wasn't going to drive 45 minutes with him throwing up, all by myself. So I went and sat in the clinic until they got him in :). I think after they saw how sick he was they decided to get me in. He ended up having an ear infection. They gave him a shot of antibiotics and he headed home. By the time we got home Mason was so sleepy. I couldn't keep him awake, he slept all day long, and then the entire night. He woke up the next day feeling better. Poor kid!

We went to Tremonton this weekend for a baby blessing. The boys had a blast, and it was great to see everyone. We spent a lot of time just sitting around talking like we always do, laughing until our sides hurt, and playing a little poker:) We went to the Fun Park in Logan and had a blast. Mason and Easton cried for about a half hour after we headed home because they wanted to stay. Easton kept asking Justin why he had to get a new job that made us move away.

Easton has had an imaginary friend for a long time now. Her name is Eckert. She is 5 years old, has brown hair, and her favorite color is blue. We always have to make room for her, make sure she has somewhere to sit, and Easton constantly tells stories that usually start, "When me and Eckert..." If you didn't know you would honestly think that this friend actually existed. Well the other day he come home from school and tells me that he has some sad news. I immediately think it is something with school but then he pops out with, "Mom, Eckert died." I ask, "She did? What happened?" He informs me, "She got shot by some bad guys." He talked about this for a long time. He was pretty sad about it and everything. Well I hadn't heard anything about Eckert until today. While driving to school he said, "Mom guess what? Eckert is came back to life." Great news!

This afternoon we made some Gak. The boys had a great time playing with it. You can stretch it..

Roll it and squish it... Poke it... Use Christmas cookie cutters (all Mommy could find)...

... and you know, have a lot of fun making a mess:)
