Report cards are in

So yesterday the kids brought home their report cards. I opened Taylor's first I knew his would be good and I was right he got 5 A's 1 A- and 1 B. Wat to go Tay. Then it was Caitlyn's turn I was a little worried about this one but she got 4 A's and 2 A-'s and 1 C- oops we will be working harder in Social Studies this next term. Then it was Cassidy's turn As I started to open hers I said a little prayer, then pulled it out and read it as I did I began to cry. Then Cassi sat down by me and said "Is it that bad Mom?" I said no Cass you got straight A's. She looked at it and she began to cry then she said "I did it Mom I did it." Yes she did this is exactly what she needed. Right now she is struggling with self confidence and self worth . But I believe that all changed as she saw her grades. I am so glad for a teacher this year who truly cares for each one of the students and is willing to bend to life then up. Thank you AMY. We love you. So last night I let Cassi get her own Ice cream she put on half the thing of whip cream, but that was it Ice cream and whip cream no chocolate? She is crazy but I am so proud of her i am proud of ALL three of my kids they work hard each day to get their homework done most days without complaining. So here is a pic of Cassidy's report card. Way to go Love bug. So as you can see the O's are her A's One O- or A- but this is so Awesome ! I can't quite express my feelings about it. If you had a child with Dyslexia you might know how I feel. Last year she struggled so mush that at the end of the year she asked if she could repeat the 1st grade. So for her to go from failing everything to getting straight A's is a dream come true.

Carving Pumpkins

We carved Pumpkins this week. We let the kids pick what they wanted on their pumpkins and Mike and I tried our best to carve them. Here are a few pics of the night.

Caitlyn's is the BAT, Cassidy's is the SPIDER, and Taylor's is the SCARY face.

There is a BEAR in the house.

So the other day I had put all the day care kids down for a nap after lunch. As I was cleaning up from lunch I heard this noise I thought it can't be one of the kids they have only been a sleep for 15 Min's. so I walk down the hall and I hear it again it sounds like a bear. Then I get close to Taylor's room this is where Layne sleeps. It is coming from that room I slowly open the door and this is what I heard.
The sound is not that great but let me remind you I heard this in the Kitchen. The door was shut as well. Pour girl.

Our weekend

I had the best weekend. Mike and I took the kids up to Mikes dads house Friday about 4:30 then mike and I went to dinner. We went to Outback Steak house in SLC because you can't get in to it here in Orem with out sitting and waiting for 1 to 2 hours. (crazy I know but people wait). Then we came home we had rented a movie watched it with out any interruptions. Wonderful. Then in the morning I think I opened my eyes at 10:00 AWE it was nice got up showered then went to breakfast. Then went to a movie. Then of course went shopping. I got a bunch of cute clothes. FYI Mervyn's is going out of Business around here know so they have some great deals and they will only get better. Then the next morning got up went to breakfast in SLC and then drove up the Canyon and into Park City and again went shopping got a few things. Bur all in all it was a great weekend spent with Mike. We picked the kids up and we all went out to dinner US the kids Mike's dad and uncle Chris. Then we went bowling the kids love to bowl. we had a great time and Cassidy won everyone in bowling. Way to go Cassi.

The Kids had a great time spent with Grandpa and Uncle Chris.

Mike is in the lane right next to Taylor.

Fully filled week

So I know that it is only Tuesday, But I think I want to be done being the Mom for a few days. Good thing that Mike and I are spending the weekend somewhere. The Kids will be with Mikes Dad. (THANK YOU RICHARD.) I need a brake. Tomorrow is Mike and I 12 year Anniversary. So we are going somewhere. I say somewhere because I am the one who gets to decide where we are going to stay this year and he picks where we eat. So I am trying to find a place somewhere close because we only have Friday night to Sunday so I don't want to spend the whole time driving. So Salt lake here we come. Plus on Thursday will be mikes Mom's birthday too so we will need to do something for that as well. And Mike's son Mikey turned 16 Yesterday!!! Look out he is on the road. Well kind of if his mom will let him drive. We are still in the works of tiring to get him to live here with us. It's going to be a long proses I do believe. but it will be worth it in the long run.

JuMp On iT

So A friend told me about jump on it. You can go on Monday nights for $20.00 the whole family. I had see it from the freeway but really did not know what it was. So last night we went its a big warehouse full of trampoline's. Mike said "we just paid $20. so we could jump on a tramp for an hour we have one at home." But as he got on the tramps he had a great time. Jumping after the kids from tramp to tramp. All around it was fun and great exercise. I am feeling the effects today. Here is one video of Mike chasing Taylor. What a great FHE.

Need to vent

I need to vent so I am saying sorry now to all who read it. I have to let it out.

OK Most of you know that Mike and I go to Vegas twice a year. Once in April and again in October, for the Drag Races. Now when we were in Vegas in April we found out when the races were in October 30-November 2. So When we got home I put it on the calender and Mike went and put it on his work calender to get the time off. As the month went on we decided to book our room, so we would make sure we got a room, due to it being over Halloween. Vegas is crazy anyways but when you are there for Halloween too it is nuts. So I booked our room in May.

Then a few weeks ago Mikes boss Jeff called him in the office. He told Mike that Burton had changed the dates for their inventory from November 29-30 to November 1-2. They said that they needed Mike to be here for all the prep work, and we would have to cancel our trip. Needless to say I was very up set, to say the least. This was our get away, our together time. So we both said OK and brushed it off. It took a few days to do. But we did.

Then we decided since October 15 was our 12 Anniversary we would try to get away. We would leave on Thursday the 16 after Mike got off work and come home Sunday the 19. So Mike went in to Jeff's office to ask for that Friday off and he said no.(come on) Mike Called me and I wanted to cry. But then I told Mike I guess that's OK Because I have decided that the BABY SITTER can't find a baby sitter I had tried for three days to find a baby sitter for that weekend and no one could. So needless to say our October has been some what ruined.

I know I should not feel sorry for myself but I NEED A VACATION. I NEED TO GET AWAY FROM KIDS. Just for a little while. You see I have my kids then I have the daycare and then I'm in the primary so I have someone Else's kids 7 days a week. I just need a little time away.
OK so I'm done know and I'm sorry again sometimes you just have to let it out.

The only good news I have is that in November we will be driving to Portland and to Seattle we will be gone for 10 days. But with the kids.
