The last couple of days

By
We have had a great few days. On Friday mom and I took the girls shopping. My thoughtful brother in law, Brent, arranged for Meagan, Ellyn, and me to get a Friends and Family coupon for the Gap and Old Navy. So we went out and spent money all day! We got some FABULOUS deals and got the kids some really cute clothes to start out the school year. My Sadie had grown out of every single pair of pants she owned. Now they will all be stylin' for their new school. After shopping we came home and showed our spoils to the sister missionaries that live in my mom's house, made dinner, and left for Esther Short Park. They were supposed to have an outside showing of Princess Bride but they ended up canceling it because of the possibility of rain. So we let the kids play on the playground for about an hour or so and left at 10:00.

Yesterday we spent the day with the Stinchy's. Papa got the boat out and the Dave Stinchfield family and Brent all travelled with us up to Lake Merwin. We had so much fun. It was pretty windy and the water was choppy so there wasn't as much time to ride the tubes and I didn't get to scare myself to death and try to waterski again after oh- 17 years but I'm okay with that. Ellyn LOVED being in the boat. If you know how much she loves wind and water you can only imagine her joy. Sadie and Jane got to ride the tubes and it was hilarious to watch little Sadie's stick arms and legs flailing everywhere. She looked so fragile. Sadie also got to drive the boat and she was pretty thrilled with that.

I told Dave how bummed Meagan was that they needed a male for their Hood to Coast team and he told me they had a slot for her so last night he got Meagan all signed up for their team. I have to admit, I'm a little jealous. My favorite people all together running together in a race I've always wanted to try. Next Year I REALLY want to be ready AND available and put together a family team with our two families.

Last night-

Blog temporarily suspended as of a few days ago. Will become active again after I finish BREAKING DAWN, fourth book in the Twilight Series.

MICHAEL IS COMING HOME TOMORROW!!

By
My Michael is coming home . You can't just say it. You have to SING it. Tomorrow my tall, strong, gorgeous, husband will be here and it will be beautiful. He will nestle into the life of our family and we will have him with us, here, in our house, in our family . He'll help put on jammies and read stories, and tutor Jane in math. He'll take me on dates and wrestle at least one child during sacrament meeting. He'll snuggle me in bed at night and nuzzle my neck while I'm doing dishes. We'll go for walks and play games and watch movies and do fun family Saturday stuff. He'll help carry a kid down to the car and then he'll drive while I put on my makeup ! We love him, we know how much he loves us. We can't wait! Don't worry, I won't work him to death. I won't make him cook dinner every night for the next 10 months or hand over the kids and take off to the spa for the weekend (tempting, but... no). We just want him HERE. I kee...

Fun weeks!!!

By
These past two weeks- three weeks have been quite fun. Up till now school has been really hard. With friends and work. This Jenna that I beleive has already been mentioned is really mean to me. We were best friends one day and the next she had made friends with a drama causer/ bad influence and completely dumped me. It's stupid and I really do try to ignore it but it is more than I can handle. Now I'm lonely in school(because we together had a small group of friends) . I have one other friend so that is good. I hope everything straightens out because she is still being rude to me. Tomorrow is flute auditions. I hope that goes well and I also hope I get my braces off tomorrow. Lots of HOPE. Right now I am watching American Idol with my wonderful family who is the best friend I'll always have. I love taking care of my little siblings. They are always so fun and make me so happy. My mom tries so hard to be a an amazing mother and I appreciate her so much. She is my best friend...

Almost a week already?

By
I swear I just wrote and yet it is two hours away from Wednesday again. You know sometimes I like to pretend that no one reads my blog and I just ignore the fact that I have anyone reading and then sometimes I just want to write directly to my family and friends that read the blog. I'm fickle like that I guess. This past weekend just seemed really great to me. Friday I felt really ill, just a bad cold but I chose to just stay down for the day and try to recover (cold mostly gone in 3 days by the way)so Friday night we did a pizza night. Aunt Jackie, I'm having the same problem with Fit for Life. I keep expanding my free days and also I am eating way out of control on the free day. A binge if you will. I need to rein in again. Superbowl Sunday and Valentine's Day did not help at all! Which brings me back to pizza night. I saw an ad for $10 pizzas from Pizza Hut. Domino's pizza- fine. Papa John's- I can pass, but when I saw that Pizza Hut special I had to ...
