General Confrence Packet

Once again someone has put together an awesome packet to help keep kids entertained and quiet during general conference.


Here from The Color of the Sky in My World.

10 Years!

Happy Anniversary Babe.

It has been a wonderful decade and I am looking forward to many more.

Guess What?

George learned to ride a bike!

Hunting

Last weekend, or was it 2 weekends ago now? Kevin and Pops took George to call a Coyote. he had an absolute BALL. He told Pops that next time it is his job to sit still and be VERY quiet. It totally cracks me up that he insisted on wearing his ear protection the entire time.

Hiking with Dad

Monday was a holiday. By miracle both the kids and Kevin were off. Kevin decided to get them out of the house for a bit so that I could #1 have some "me" time and #2 to knock out some time on the taxes. I spent a lovely morning playing volleyball with some ladies from the ward and then came home pulled out the laptop and boxes of papers. Poured myself a cup of cocoa and got to work.

I don't mind taxes but I wish I could have gone with them...

Courtney's Birthday part 2

She is 7!

George composed a song and serenaded her. Viedo to come!

Working

With the weekend comes weekend projects. With mom's new fridge came the need to move the light switch. The kids were totally fascinated with the ladder up to the atic. They thought that it should be made into their clubhouse, it just needed all the itchy stuff taken out. HA!

Stuff

Okj, so whan we moved i was stressed and did not do as good a job as I could have in organizing our belongings into what should come to my parents and what could be stored. There are several things that went into storage that I dearly wish had not. In november I suggested that iI wanted to go down to the storage unit and retirieve a few things. I was met with looks of death. Dad told me that he would rather buy Lily new clothes than go searching for the box of hand-me-downs. Thankfully we scored at the thrift store because Lily has grown and the storage unit looks like this.

And the door is not even open all the way.

I really should have gotten a shot from further back to show the full size of the storage unit. It is about 15' feet high and packed to the ceiling in the back. There is 3 families stuff in the shed, not just ours. Yup that is my story and I am sticking to it.

Kevin decided that he HAD to look for something in the shed. So we trooped over there on one of his days off and opened it up. We crawled around a bit and didn't find what he was looking for. He even had George crawling down in a small space to check under the desk. I didn't find any boxes of clothes. We did find a few odds and ends including the hiking backpack so that is good. :)

Silly Girls

I have been watching my niece several days a week. It has been so fun to watch the girls play together. George has been a huge help too. Having two babies in the house that don't walk has been crazy. Tif, you are an amazing woman! It is totally doable, just crazy. We have even made it to the library a couple times and the grocery store. As hard as it is to carry them both places, I'm not sure what I will do when Lily walks and Bri crawls.







We took pictures yesterday, I tried to get one of them together, but they were way more interested in the background than looking at me. They did ok individually, but together, not so much. We will try another day.

Lily was not to into the whole photo thing at all, but decided the best place to be was on top of me while I laid on the floor. first on my legs, then scooted up to my bum, then by the time I took this picture she was on my shoulder (hence the blur) I gave up when she sat on my head.
