2nd week and I'm tired!

it's out second week into summer and I'm already exhausted! Sunday involved church, and then a trip up to Super Grandma's (Jeff's Grandma's), with the kids going to bed way too late. I then stayed up until 11:30 p.m. doing things like laundry, dishes, and packing for the next day. Monday was my work day and the boys got to play at a friend's house. I rushed home, got the kids dinner and a bath, and now trying to put them to bed. Tomorrow we have soccer camp at 8:30 a.m., a "movie night" for lunch time because that's the only time I can fit it in, library class at 1:00 p.m., need to go to the DMV with three kids in the afternoon, and then t-ball at 7:00 p.m.. I also need to fit in full time hours and grocery shopping tomorrow too. Wednesday is going to be crammed full as well. I think I might find time to breathe on Thursday, I hope. Oh well, I'll take it!

Busy week

My, it feels like it's been a busy week. Monday was Memorial Day and, sadly, we spent most of the day home. I cleaned and cleaned and cleaned while Jeff was at work. The kids and I also went to Home Depot and ordered new carpet!!!!! I'm so excited. We really need it and we finally decided to do it. It'll be horrible getting things ready for new carpet, but I'm still excited. After that, we went to Grandma and Grandpa's for a BBQ, which was great.
Tuesday was a forever long day at work, but the boys got to go over to Grandma's house and play and had a great time.
Wednesday was Jeff's day off, but I ended up going into work for a few hours in the morning to try to wrap some things up. After I got home, we went out to lunch and then went bowling as a family. We had a great time, though I think one game is all we can handle. The boys seemed to be done after one game, but we stayed for a little longer. After that, we picked up the boat to de-winterize it so we can go play next week.
Thursday we went shopping, went to the library, and then stayed home and hung out until Zach's first t-ball game. He did a great job and it was a lot of fun. It was different for Nate because now he's the one who had to sit and watch while Zach played. It was good for him. I tried to fit in work when I could in the morning, evening, etc.
Friday I tried to fit in whatever work I could in the morning, and then we headed to to the zoo for a day with Grandma and Grandpa (other side), aunts, uncles, and cousins including some that were visiting from out of town. The boys had a great time and Addi was just fascinated by the elephants. Overall, they were really good kids. We went over to Aunt Britney's house after for a BBQ and to play with cousins and stayed up way to late. I think they had a great time.
Today, we went to Utah Lake State Park for their festival and the boys had a great time. They got to do crafts, get free food, play games, and had a fun time. Nate asked if we could go again next year. We got there when it was over half way through because we had wait for Addi to take a nap this morning. Next year, we'll have to go a little earlier (and hopefully with some help since it was just me and the kids). After going to the grocery store, we've just crashed. It's been a busy week, but a fun week as well. I have lots of pictures, but we'll see when/if I ever get them posted. Hopefully soon.
We don't have nearly as much planned for next week, I hope. However, we have my work day(which means kids play at a friend's house), library class, soccer camp, two t-ball games, a day of boating (hopefully), and I don't know what else. I think summer is officially here! Let's just hope I survive through it!

My little girl

So tonight, the boys were taking a bath in their bathroom. Addi just had a diaper on and was in the bathroom playing and spending time with the boys. I had the bathroom door open so I could listen to all three of them. Next thing I know, Addi is crawling out of the bathroom completely naked. I Went to find her diaper and apparently she had taken it off and put it in one of the drawers. I adore my little girl, but she can drive me crazy!!!

Planting treats

Zach and I were at the store yesterday while Nathan was at a birthday party. Zach was really bummed because he couldn't go the party too. However, I promised to get some gum for him at the store, and so that made everything ok. That boy is obessed with gum lately! Anyhow, while we were there we looked at some additional plants for our garden. I asked him what he wanted to plant in our garden, and his reply was "treats". I asked him what would be a treat we could plant in our garden. He decided that watermelons are considered treats, so that's what we picked up

Nathan's talk

Nathan was assigned to give a primary talk on Sunday and, even though he's been sick the last couple of days, he really wanted to go give his talk. So, we went to church just for that. Earlier that week, Nate and I sat down and wrote his talk together. It was really just Nathan who wrote the talk as I typed, while I did gave him just a couple of promptings. The following is his talk:

The principles and ordinances of the gospel are first 1) faith in the lord Jesus Christ 2) Repentance 3) Baptism by immersion for the remission of sins and 4) laying on of hands for the gift of the Holy Ghost. These are important so we can live with Jesus Christ. If we be good we can get closer to Jesus Christ and we can live with him again with Heavenly Father and the Holy Ghost. Jesus died so when we die we can come to life again by being resurrected. If we do something wrong, we can repent and never do it again. I'm glad to be able to repent. When we get baptized, it will wash off all of the bad stuff that we have done wrong, and makes us clean inside. When we are sick, your dad or someone else can bless you to get better. I am excited to be baptized and to get the gift of the Holy Ghost. Heavenly Father and Jesus love everyone in the whole entire world and we love Jesus. We love him very much. In the name of Jesus Christ, Amen.


He did a great job and I was really proud of him. He's a great little guy.
