Fab-u-los Friday!

Next up came Friday, What were we to do? Sarah let us tag along with her to the park! The kids had a great time with their cousins and the fresh air was perfect to just hang out. Thanks Sarah!

Fall Recess

Well 4 days out of school, oh my. What are we to do? Well thankfully the days filled up with help from family and friends. On Thursday my kids got to go to Build-A-Bear, as payment for all the work they did getting my dad's house ready to be sold. The kids had a wonderful time. They came out of there with awesome bears. Thanks Dad and Carol!

The Blogging World Just Scored!!

I am absoluetly so happy to break news of this fabulous development. My cute friend Brenda has taken the leap into the blogging world. She wasn't gonna come without a fight but we won her over in the end. She is so very talented and blogging is one of the best way to show off talents. I am so happy that she has decided to take a few minutes to let us in. She is one of my most favorite people. Without her help there is NO way that I could be doing this whole PTA thing. I admire her and I learn a lot from her. We are the lucky ones!

What the Heck!

Ok well I have had up to here with being SICK! My kidney infection came back last week, with a vengence. So far I have had six days of the IV antibotics,(For which I am grateful for)but I am truly wanting this whole thing to be done. Luckily the doctor finially agreed to give me home care so my awesome family could help me out. Part of the whole exhustion in all this is waiting to be seen every time I have to go and be hooked up. Yesterday I got to stay on my nice couch and London and Travis took turns giving me the goods. Here are a few pics of the event that has taken over my life. Hopefully this time they will get every bit of this infection and I can just get on with my life. Everyone that I talk to has to make sure that I am driniking water so for everyones 411 YES I am drinking water! No one really knows why I can't kick this. Hopefully 7 days of the Iv antibotics should do the trick! London had a blast getting to be the nurse. She thought it was soo cool-I am glad someone is having fun!

Conference Time!

Alright we just had a good conference weekend. It is always nice to re-focus your efforts to what really matters. My favorite talk came from Saturday afternoon. One of my absolute favorite speakers is Joseph B. Wirthlin. He can talk with such ease that you forget it is a sermon and effortlessly listen to his gentle counsel. The message was received in my heart "Come what may-and love it!". This wise counsel is just what I needed to be reminded of in these turbulent times. These are last days and we will have rough times BUT we will have good times. This is what we came here to do, have joy. So may we all take what comes and love it!

A few more join the pack!

Last night when I went to my mom-in-laws for the priesthood session I got a huge SURPRISE! Two more of my sisters-in-laws are now bloggers. I am beyond excited that we can be even more connected! With everyones families busier than eVeR I love this way of staying up to date on all the happenings. They are still unsure how they feel about all this techno stuff, but I have no doubt that before long they will feel the blog bug that is sweeping families across the globe. I love you gals, Janie and Steph. Just a funny side note as we were setting Steph's up her first picked background was bLaCk. Very funny if you have read previous posts of mine ribbing her for always wearing/buying black clothes and dresses. We had a good laugh and then we changed to something eles. To Funny for me!

Picture Day!

Well you know with having two beautiful girls picture day has already taken on a whole new meaning. First my sweet little Brooke wanted curly hair, hers is stick straight, I thought no problem. Whoa,after an hour of non-stop hairspraying and two curling irons going we still had limp slightly wavvvy hair. Apparently her hair didn't want curls and so it just wouldn't hold them. I pinned a few in ( I wish I could have gotten the picture but I simply ran out of time with all the hairspraying and curling) but I will be surprised if the picture turns out. London's hair went curly like instantly-no troubles. Nate my sweet guy hates to have his hair combed, so I keep it short. Last night Trav helped me out and cut his hair for me, I walk outside just as T swipes it right down the middle with a 2. I wouldn't have gone that short the day before pictures. He wasn't expecting it to be soooo short. I asked Trav why a 2, he said "it was the first attachment I grabbed." These kind of descions should probably be a bit more thought out and maybe we don't start with the first cut being right down the front center. Any how he is a cute kid who looks great no matter what his hair looks like. On the flip side of that when I was cutting Trav's hair I was talking at the end and took a swipe with the 3 attachment, honestly I didn't mean for that I was just "evening it up" and then we had to do the 3 all over. So I guess we won't need to cut the boys hair any time soon. All of this for the "picture day"!
