My weekend :(

So Sat we got the house cleaned and thought we should do something as a family. So We took the kids to a movie. I thought that all the kids had had lunch but I was wrong. (I will get to this later) So we had lots of popcorn and drinks and had a great time. Then it was the women's broadcast. I thought I was going to go but then saw that I could watch it on TV later so I did that. So we could go out to dinner with Mike's dad.

Got home from dinner and Taylor's cheeks were red he had a slight fever and was coughing and had a runny nose. Then Cassi started to really cough and her nose was running with a slight fever. Oh great here we go. So we stooped at the store to get some night time med. So we get home make them all shower for church in the morning (if we go due to sick kids). So Taylor and Cassi go to bed due to the med. Then at 2:00 Caitlyn gets up and throws up. And again at 2:30 and at 4:30. So I gave her some Pepito to STOP it and it did. Thank you pink pills. So here is where the lunch thing is. So I asked her what she had for breakfast? She had cereal, OK what did you have for lunch? Nothing, but I had lots of popcorn and pop She said. Oh good I thought. Then I think what did she have for dinner when we went out. Not much a bite here and a small bite here. She is the pickiest eater I know. So all she had today to eat was crap. Went through my head. No wonder she is sick.

So in the morning I got up made sure everyone was good and went back to bed. We did not make it to church so we spent the day as a family and watched movie after movie. It was good despite the coughing and runny noses.

OK so yesterday morning I got up when my alarm went off without hitting snooze at 6:45. I felt really good witch was good because I had a lot to do. As I went in to wake the girls I went in a little differently I went in and said "good morning girls time to wake up and gave them both a big hug and kiss." They got up the first time I asked them it was great I thought "this IS going to be a great day.
Taylor was already up. Mike gets him up at 6:30 to take a shower. So he was in the Kitchen having breakfast. so I said " Good morning and gave him a hug and a kiss" He said "what was that for?" I told him I got up on the right side of the bed this morning. His response was "oh" then with a strange look on his face he said " but that is dad's side of the bed." I laughed, as the girls came in they asked why I was laughing. Taylor said I don't know she just woke up on dad's side of the bed.

As my day went on, I got the kids out the door and got the daycare in the door. I started on my house. I started in the girls room I was feeling good and thought I would help them out with their choirs today so I got their room done then went to Taylor's room then on the mine. Then had the daycare kids go watch a movie in the girls room. So I could start on the living room and kitchen and the floor. I was so proud of myself I had the whole house clean by Noon. And most of the laundry done, and dinner in the crock pot. So I feed the daycare and sent them to bed. I had time to sit and read. Then Mike came home for lunch and we got to sit and talk with out kids wanting my attention. It was AWESOME! After Mike left I was able to have another hour and a half to myself. It felt great. It truly was a great day.

Crazy Weekend

So this weekend was the Fall Festival SO Friday I was at the kids school from 8:30a.m. till 9:30p.m. Awe a long day to say the least. The Fall festival was a big hit from the feed back I have gotten so far. The total is not yet in on how much we made, but it still was fun. There was only one Small problem, I got yelled at by the lady who brought the horses because I also had some ponies there and she was not happy about it but oh well life goes on. I just thought it would be fun to have the little kids be able to ride something smaller and less intimidating. But what do I know right. Oh well.

Then Sat I tryed to sleep in but with no luck. So got up and cleaned the house. Then watched the BYU Football game WOW what a game again two games two shutouts awesome. Then I had to go to Wal-mart to get Taylor's Birthday cake to take to my mom's for his birthday on Tuesday. Trying to get though the traffic from the football game was crazy. I left before the game was over but because it was 44-0 everyone left early i guess. But got to wal-mart and got the BYU cake he wanted.

So Sunday after church (our 2 hour Church witch I love) We went to my mom's for dinner around 4:00. We got to pick up Mikey and he went with us. About 7:05 he called his mom and she said "you have to be home now!" K my mom lives in Salem it takes about 25-30 Min's to get from our home to hers and Mikey lives farther so we had just started to serve the Cake. Mike and I took Mikey outside to talk to him about moving in with us. And he just needs to get the guts up to tell his mom he wants to move in with his dad. So we will see but I believe it will be soon that our Family well go from 5 to 6 by next month.

Crazy Week end

Homecoming

So Mikey called me last week and asked if I knew a good place to rent a tux. I told him yes I have a friend who rents them. So we went last Tuesday and rented him a tux. So This last Sat Sept. 13 08 was his Homecoming dance I told him that he and Shelby (his girlfriend ) need to stop by the house so we could see both of them all dolled up and such. So he called me and said we are on our way. They got here by Shelby's mom was driving them. And so we took pics and so did Shelby's mom So I asked about Mikey's mom taking any pics. and he said NO they left. So I asked Shelby's mom what? And she said that they left before he got in his tux. She said that they were not happy about him going and so they were not going to support him by being there. I'm sorry I just can not imagine not being there for my child's first dance to tell them to have fun to be care full and all the motherly advice. But to take the whole family out to dinner and not be there is just NUTS and I guess that sums up who and how she is. So here are there pics. Mkey is now taller then Mike. CRAZY........ They are both such great kids.

Make each day count

OK so my Life is been a whorl wind. With the Fall Festival planed for next weekend I pray for good weather. But then last week I went to lunch with Mike and got food poisoning. So I was down and out for two days. Then we had an unexpected death in our ward and the funeral was Sat. It got me thinking you never know when God wants you back with him.

As they all ways say make each day count as if it were your last. I have really tried this since school started this year In the past when the kids get home I have them start there home work as I start to make dinner then we are all in the kitchen, but I am no help I busy making dinner. So this year dinner is about an hour to hour in a half later then last year this way I can help with home work then they can go play while I am in the kitchen making dinner. Then when Mike gets home from work he has a min or two to just relax before dinner time and if I need help with dinner he helps me as we talk about our days. I don't feel as stressed doing it this way and that makes the evening better. Plus i get to spend time with the kids too. I get to here all about their day and all that happier well almost all. Well if it's Caitlyn we get to here ALL her day play by play. If you will let here she will go on and on and on. And half of what she says is then she said then I said then she said and I get lost most of the time. but it is fun to hear what the kids dis that day. SO my goal is to keep it up to spend time with my kids each day right after school to find out all about there day dinner can wait. I will make each day count.
