Today...Trying to get back on track.

For the past several months my mom has been living with me.  It has been glorious!  I have loved having her around.  She drives the kids to school, does dishes and helps out around the house.  We have re-learned to knit, gone to the temple, planted my garden, removed wallpaper from and painted my upstairs hallway AND she watched the kids while Taylor and I went away.  I'm sure we did more than that.  That's just all I can remember today.  Soooo...while we were doing all that I sort of dropped alot of my balls that I was juggling.  Now that she is leaving on Thursday, I will pick them back up and start again.  So, I don't care that I haven't written since I picked her up in UT, and I don't care that my house isn't immaculate, it's just been fun to have her around.  How often will I get to do that with her??  Heck, I haven't even lived with her since I was 19!  So, now I will try to write on my blog more (even if no one reads it). I will pay more attention to my house.  I will plan camp certification, do my online class and prepare to homeschool my kids in the fall.  Sounds like enough fun, doesn't it??  Well, I'm off to get kids to school - 3 days left of it!

Visiting Lorna!

I am so excited to visit my sis and her cute family in UT. Her kids are suuuuuper adorable! I will post pics asap. I flew in tonight and am driving back home with mom on Thursday. Hopefully it won't take us longer than 3 days. Wish me luck!

Sick!

This is me, lying in bed, body aching and tired, sick. I think it will take me twice as long to type this because my fingers are being lame-o. We all stayed home from church and did nothing. Well, can you count poking around on the computer, making playdough, and cooking dinner, nothing??? The kids were so bored but we just needed to lay around and do nothing. Who knows what tomorrow will bring? Hopefully, a better me and a cleaner house;)

We love the science museum.

We had some days off last week so we went to the Science museum. We had fun. Kylee didn't want to go so she went to an Imax movie that was "just ok, whatever"(accent implied). Well, life is busy so I will update more later. Here are some pics.........

Chimney Rock Rocks!

Last Sat. we went hiking with the Frizzell family to Chimney Rock near Lake Cunningham in MD. Brenden had a fit the whole way up but the rest of us had a great time. The colors were beautiful and the hike wasn't too hard or too easy. As you can see, the view from the top was breathtaking. There was one rock that was a little difficult to get to. Taylor, Rich, Becky and her sister, Katie all jumped over to it. Somehow Chay managed to get on top. I think he was the only kid brave enough to get up there. Actually, Dylan wanted to go but I wouldn't let him. He just has no fear. The kids and the rest of us had a great time exploring and Brenden eventually cheered up:) More to come later....
