Update...

What a busy weekend we had at our house. We finished touch up paint in the kitchen and replaced the ugly trim that the kitchen people put up. I replaced the microwave that caught on fire. Paul and Clayton worked on Clayton's car and got it running smoothly again. Danielle and I went to the Relief Society General Broadcast together at my Stake. We had a Chocolate Fest before the broadcast and I really overdosed on chocolate. It was so yummy though. I truly enjoyed the broadcast. I loved Pres Uchdorf's comment the we are all Treasured daughters of our Heavenly Father with Infinite Worth. I am really looking forward to General Conference this weekend.
I still have the stupid sore throat and nothing seems to be working to make it go away. I have another doctors appointment this week to have it checked again. We played cards with Amanda Leif Clayton and Danielle and had a great time. Well everyone have a great week. bye now.

Cleaning..

Well the weekend is finally here. I am going with Cheryl to clean at Linda Waters cabin. She is getting it finished and needs some help cleaning so we are going up to Island Park for Friday and Saturday. It is the least that we can do since she lets us have our sister trips there whenever we wish. I am rather excited even though we will be working because it is such a beautiful restful place to go to. I am on my second batch of antibiotics for this stupid sore throat that I have. It is very frustrating to say the least.
I have been doing the Wii Fit almost every night and I can say that it is so much fun but at the same time a really great workout. I have been able to unlock alot more of the games and excercises and it is so much fun.
Well I need to finish up so that I can get ready to leave town this afternoon with Cheryl. Bye now.

Birthday Party..

We had such a fun crazy weekend. It was Paige's 1 year birthday celebration at our house. We fed all of the family and had cake and ice cream. It was so loud and crazy. I will post some pictures later of Paige. She was being such a little girl with her cake. I at one moment was thinking about what had I gotten myself into with all of the mess and the noise and then I realized how blessed I am to have such a great family that come and spend time at our home and that we have such a great time being together. We played some more Wii fit with Clayton and Danielle before everyone arrived at the party. It is so much fun and also a great workout. Wayne and Carrie came and brought Cassiday. She is so cute and that hair is something else. I am so happy to have them living in Idaho Falls.
I am really bummed because I came down with a nasty throat infection this weekend also. I have blisters all down my throat and it has even spread up into one of my ears. It really hurts and I have had a high fever. I do not have time to be sick so I am so frustrated. I went and saw Molly to get on some antibotics. Hopefully it will go away really quick.
I went to church on Sunday even though I did not feel real well but I needed to be there for a spiritual uplift. I received a great big hug from a wonderful couple in our ward who are aware of some of the issues that I am having with a former friend. I really needed that hug that day. It made me realize that everyone is aware of what a trial this has been for me and my family. I am so glad that I went.
Well everyone have a great week. bye now.

Crazy Busy Week...

We had so much going on last week. I finally got to see my new great niece Cassidy Hurzeler (Wayne' daughter). She is so cute with all of that dark hair. I loved holding her she is so cuddly.
We finished the kitchen and I finally decided what to do with the wall in the dining room. I loved the finished product.

Danielle and Amanda helped to put the lettering on the wall which was so helpful. We also were able to put on rug down in the dining room and have it cut to size. There was so much left over that the rug guy was able to make a runner for the hallway coming out of Makayla's room. It is so great to have it all finally done.
I have been able to start some knitting projects and I am almost done with one pair of adult socks and I am also working on a baby sweater. It is in a soft yellow acrylic and it has been lots of fun to make. I love to knit. I am also going to be taking a class starting in October to learn how to make a wallaby sweater. I decided to make one for Paige in a lovely dark red.
Sunday was Sophie's blessing. Her great grandpa Gary Waters did a wonderful job on the blessing and she looked so sweet in the dress mom made for he, but as soon as she came back to the pew to be held she had a major blow out and had to be taken out and changed it went everywhere. I was able to take a picture of Leif and Amanda's family. We love to spend time with them. We played games with them and Clayton and Danielle on Sunday afternoon and had such a fun time. We laughed alot.
We were able to try out the Wii Fit. It is really lots of fun and gives you a pretty good work out. It is extremely entertaining for a group activity if any one is interested. It sure kept our group laughing and busy.
Paul and I drove to Tremonton on Monday and spent part of the day visiting with Susan and family. The kids kept us very busy. It was fun to spend the day with them. Paige is starting to walk and can take about 5-10 steps. She is so proud of herself.
Well maybe this week will not be so busy. bye now.
