Labor Day Weekend

By






So this was our Labor Day Weekend in a nutshell. I asked my neighbor if she knew of any great swimming areas on a creek or lake so that Ellyn could be in the water. Her drummer was with her and he gave me directions to a little swimming hole. It is an empty lot, it's gated and it is only for people that live on this hill. So... that is what we did Friday, Saturday we went to the Outlet Stores (I forgot about the fact that it was a holiday) and bought warm, snuggy jammies for Sawyer, Ellyn, and Sadie and soccer stuff for Jane since hers won't be here for another few weeks. We did stop by an In and Out and that was de-lish-eouso! Sunday was Sunday, I know I will enjoy them more when Mike gets here and can help with Sawyer and Ellyn and we have furniture in our home. Monday we took a gorgeous drive along the coast to Big Sur. We went into the state park and drove through the camping area and circled all the sites on our map that we liked so we can call and reserve them in advance, then we drove back along the beach and found a good place to play. A lovely day. You can tell by the pics.

I am really ready to get MY STUFF. I want a couch! I also want dishes and beds and toys and books. We are ready. We've been good, we haven't complained. I am just stating that I will really enjoy having my creature comforts surrounding me again. What are creature comforts? Is that even what you say? I'm going to have to google that sometime soon. If it isn't real, it is for us. My house is brimming with little creatures and they all want their comfort!

Brooke,
your blog is adorable. Your pics look profesh, and I wish I was there with you. Maybe in October? Cole has the last week off and I thought it'd be a nice excuse to go to Cali. Your stuff (and your mama) will be here soon!

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 ...
