another day...

So today Wesley was set apart as the Deacon President, and I was at home with sick babies :(  I wasn't happy about that, but I wouldn't have been happy at church either with sick babies, hanging on me, crying, coughing, and snotting up everything in site!!! I also missed Lee speaking in church, but he always does  a great job!! He is a very inspiring man!! Love him...

Had a girls night/minute to win it game night at my friend Brittany Nielson's house.  It was so fun, and things that didn't look that hard were, and when you get laughing girls and trying to steady a spaghetti noodle in your mouth= not going win :(  Good food, good games, great gals!!!

So Taylor played in her first AAU 6th grade basketball game!! (and she is in 5th)  She did so good!! I can see improvement in her and starting to get so excited for her as she keeps getting better, stronger and confident in her game!! They let a few 5th graders join the team, and though she doesn't get too much playing time, hopefully she will gain by the experience and by watching and learning at practices!!!

Jared just turned 10 a week ago, and I still don't want to believe it!! He got to hang out with his friends in BC for his birthday, and got football themed presents!! Receiving gloves, football tie tac, football scripture case, and reading chart with pen... and a Jersey from his grandma stuart!! I hope he likes football!!!

welll..........

So on day 4 or 5 of little sleep, Mason has had a bad earache, and he is finally asleep.  I have Avery on one side of me asleep, and Lee on the other side asleep, and all this on the couch, as i type!!! Why am I still awake, well someone has to look for a van, decide if we should buy or build a house, look for coupons, decide what to do for sharing time this sunday, see if there are any cute crafts that i want to look at and decide if i can do it or not, when there is no craft store, or garage sales going to find that one amazing deal to turn nothing into something...all the while listening to evan and mason and morgan hack their lungs out.. :( but hey its all good, have a great lunch planned tomorrow with the ladies and will take a break!! good times...Mason is starting to say morgans name.  and tell the kids to go to bed... so funny!!

chores....

So Lee got to visit with Evans kendergarten teacher when she came in to "see" the dentist.... She related a story to Lee that she overheard at school... that involved Evan and another student...
So Evan was telling another student that he gets an extra 25 cents per chore that he does, and then he told the student, but I think I can talk her (my mom) into giving me 50 cents a chore......
little schemer....

another "snow" day

Well we have been having really nice weather, and as usual all nice things have to come to an end. Yesterday was over cast, nothing out of the norm. But of course, we woke up to snow, and it hasn't stopped. And thinking it won't stop for awhile!!
We have had news that hasn't been good, and we are keeping these families in our prayers.  I know things happen for reasons we do not understand, but it just makes me realize how important it is to stay close to the lord, so that he will help guide, direct, and protect.
Morgan is going on getting 3 more teeth, and she is not happy about it!!
Mason is ever bored, between coloring on walls, hitting things with knives, or spoons- making dents in everything, tearing off couch cushions, trying to pull down the entertainment center, putting things in the toilet, shall i go on.....

Another day...

So I am on week 2 of fighting off being sick, but Friday it took over :(  I am hoping that the three of us who got it will be it.... We had very warm weather today 55 degrees!! The kids were all outside today playing, well Evan (6) was trying to get ready to go play... He was having a hard time trying to put on his snowbibs.. he was grunting, whining, crying and whining more... Then he fell to the floor and stopped and looked up to me and said,"Mom why can't it be summer!!" Poor kid, he did get dressed and had a good day..

Mason has figured out how to climb out of his playpen (where he USED) to take naps.. on his last afternoon, he got out and locked himself in my room... So had to break into my own room through the window outside, still in my PJs cause i was sick, and take the screen off, and hope that i didn't lock it!!

feb 8...

Well time has once again quickly passed by, but not our crazy weather!! We have had temperatures -40 below zero, days of surprising snow, that has piled up and getting higher...A few have been sick, and some wanting to be sick!! Taylor is on a 6th grade basketball team, and they do traveling tournaments...Wesley has tried out for a duet, Don't stop believin', from the show Glee.. He will be doing a skit with a song from lady gaga, hopefully i can get that on film.
Well the oter day we were on our way home, and I told the kids,"When we get home, I want you to take your backpacks, coats, and boots, etc's.... down to your room and then wash your hands." Then Avery says," But mom I don't have any etc's...."
Gotta love that girl....
