Weekend Fun

We went to card club today and made a really cute card. Photo attached. the kids have had a blast playing in the leaves. ( Susan and kids came for the weekend) I keep cleaning the floor every time they come thru. I need to give it up until they are done. Paul went off hunting with his sister Annette and her friend Bob for a moose. Hopefully they will get the job done quickly. I went to Book Club on thursday and absolutely loved the experience and looking forward to next month. we will be reading Angels and Demons which I have already read. But it is a good book so I will skim it before club. Well have to go chase down some kids. bye for now.

Tuesday

Well what a long day yesterday. All the driving, which I absolutely hate. We found Harmoni a car in Malad. I will post a picture later today. She was so excited she was screaming and loves it. The kids were fun although little Paige is not the happiest of babies. It is a good thing she is so cute. Carter got jumped on by a dog when he went with Paul to look at the car and the dog scratched his face pretty bad. It looks like he got in a fight. The dog got both sides of his face with his paws. Max about talked our ear off with all of the stuff he needed to tell us and he kept asking when we were going to go camping again. Gabby had a great checkup but was mad at us because we had to leave after she got home and she wanted to visit with us more. We stopped in Poky and did dinner with Amanda & Leif and finally got home at 8:30 last night. Well bye now

Monday Morning

Another Monday morning starting the week out running. Paul and I are headed off to Tremonton this morning to keep an eye on the kids for Susan while she takes Gabby to Shriners Hospital. We are looking forward to playing with Max Carter and Paige. We had a busy weekend. Paul went hunting but did not find anything to shoot. I was busy cleaning house, shopping and I got all of my visiting teaching done before the end of the month. Yea!! Amanda and McKinley spent Saturday with us hanging out. Amanda and I hit the open house at Roberts and bought just a few things. We also went to this other store that is only open on Friday and Saturday and did not get to shop to long since we went at 2:45 and they close at 3. but looking forward to this Friday so that I can go back. They had great things for decorating the home and in the style that I use for my house. Well better be going so that I can finish getting ready for the trip today.Bye now.

Friday

Yea!! it is Friday finally. Long long week. Going to frost Rita's hair today. I want to go to the new shoe store in town and see if I can find some brown shoes. I loaned my other pair to Denise to wear at the wedding and I think I will give them to her because they really make my feet hurt. I do not know why because they are not tight. Maybe the arch isn't quite in the right spot. I am going to go to a bridal shower tomorrow for Kurt Killian's fiancee. It should be fun because I have never met her. Paul went hunting today and saw a moose and one deer running away. so he did not get to shoot anything this morning, maybe later today when he goes back out. He is picking up an older Honda 4 wheeler that he got for $65 that he thinks he will be able to fix for just a little money and then he will have a newer 4 wheeler. Ours is only 23 years old.
I am going to Utah on Monday to help Susan with the kids. She needs to go to the Shriners Hospital for Gabby's annual checkup and wants to take all of the kids. It should be an adventure. Paul said that he would drive down with me, which makes me happy because it is getting to be such a boring drive. Well bye for now.

perfecting the blog site

I added some new elements to our blog site today. I cannot believe how long it took me. Usually I am not so computer illiterate. I like the slide show and the new clock. I would really like to add some music also. It is a fun thing to do and I think everyone in the family should have one so that we can keep tabs on each other and also to share photos of all of the little kids in the family. Well bye for now.

Check out my Slide Show!

Weekend

Well the weekend was great and busy. I did not get very many pages done at the overnight scrapbooking considering all of the stuff that I hauled down to Pocatello. We had a great time visiting and spending time together. We only stayed up until about 2:30, all the kids said they were too tired and not feeling inspired. I had my second wind by then and was ready to go all night but decided that I better go to bed since everyone else was. McKinley hollered at me first thing Saturday about 7am. She wanted to have someone help her out of her room. She is so cute and fun to spend time with. I also was chasing picture frames for my cousin from Wyoming all weekend as I was running from Idaho Falls to Pocatello. She needed 41 11x14 frames for her Super Saturday project and we were finally able to find the last of them in Blackfoot. I finished the last of the vampire books Eclipse. I am very excited for the new book to come out which it appears will not be too soon. The books were great. I enjoyed every minute of reading them and could not put them down once I had started.
Well I better be going. Bye now.

Good Books

well I am reading a new series about vampires. I love the books. I read Twilight in a couple of hours and then I had to wait for New Moon to come in the mail because it was sold out in IF. It came today in the mail. I started reading it and could not put it down and finished it in a few hours also. I have Eclipse which I am going to start tomorrow. I can hardly wait. We went out to dinner tonight to Texas Roadhouse. It was so yummy. I had the smothered chicken without the gravy and their fresh steamed vegies. They do a great job with the vegies. I have leftovers that I get to eat for lunch tomorrow. Well tomorrow is Friday and I get to go to Pocatello to scrapbook with Amanda. Danielle and Clayton are going to go also. Bye for now.

Weekend

Well I loved conference this weekend. The messages that are spoken always make me want to try harder to be a better person. I noticed that there were a lot of messages concerning the roles of mothers and the influence that they have on their children and the family. I am looking forward to receiving my copy of the ensign so that I can read the messages again. We had lots of good food to eat and enjoyed our visit with Danielle and Clayton. We played Wii and I ended up with the highest bowling score of 214. I am so glad that we bought the Wii for Clayton it is really fun to play with the family. We watched movies and enjoyed each others company. Susan and Blain showed up on Sunday afternoon and Amanda and Leif. We had quite a household of people but I love to have my family around. (Even though it was crazy at times)
I have been printing more pictures for my scrapbooking night at Amanda's. It is really quiet at home today. Everyone else is either at work or school. But I better enjoy it while I can. Paige Carter and Max will be here this afternoon for me to watch while Blain and Susan go to a funeral for his great aunt. Well better be going, bye now.

Yea!! It's Friday

Thank goodness Friday is finally here. Did the grocery shopping and some laundry. Looking forward to conference in the morning. I started the new book that I bought yesterday Twilight and finished it today. I loved the book and cannot wait to get the next one- New Moon that I had to order thru the mail because it is out of stock in town. I really like the story about the good vampires. Looking forward to having Danielle and Clayton spend the weekend. Had a nice visit with Amanda and her friend Sara about our scrapbooking weekend. We are all looking forward to getting alot done. Bye for now

I had a fun day today. I went with Denise and Heather to the Wild Flower Blossom scrapbook supply sale. I of course spent way too much money, but I am really excited because I found all of the paper ribbon and stickers to complete the scrapbook of Clayton and Danielle's engagement wedding and reception photos. I am going to an all night scrapbook at Amanda's on the 12th. I plan on trying to catch up with my sister trip book and the wedding book. I can hardly wait. I caught the stomach flu from someone and was real sick yesterday and ended in bed for half of the day. I am feeling much better today, thank goodness. Clayton and Danielle are coming to stay this weekend so that we can all watch conference together and also they do not want to miss conference since they do not have tv at their apartment. It should be a fun weekend. Well bye for now.

Paige Blessing

The girls and I traveled to Tremonton to celebrate Carters Bday and see Paige get blessed. It was lots of fun and lots of people. Paige looked like a little angel in her blessing outfit that Denise and Mom made for her. I even contributed by making the slip to wear under it. A little family project. Carter loved the gift we gave him of a John Deere tractor book. It has real wheels on it and he would not put it down. He is such a tractor lover right now. max was outside making jumps to go over with his bike. I would not be surprised to hear he has broken his arm again. We had great food and great cake. When we got home Danielle and Clayton came to visit us and we ended up watching old family movies. We had a great laugh at how funny we all looked 10 years ago and how much we had all changed. I am really looking forward to watching conference this weekend. It is a time that I actually sit down and watch tv for about 4 hours each day of conference without interruption. I can hardly wait. Bye for now.
