Umbrella's

This week in kindergarten Cameron has been learning about the letter "U". The teacher sent home one of her weekly letters Monday informing the parents that for show and tell Thursday the kids should bring umbrella's and then they would walk around the school with them. She hoped that it would rain to make the experience even more fun. Well we didn't have an umbrella and thought it'd be no big deal if he didn't have one for show and tell, but knew he'd feel left out without one when they walked around the school. So I procrastinated getting one. Last night when David got home from mutual I put on the sweetest face I could and asked if he would go to the store for an umbrella. By the time he left is was more of a midnight run to Walmart. He got a cool camouflaged one. THANKS HONEY!! Cameron was over the moon excited. He was all dressed and had his coat on before we ate breakfast! On the 2 minute drive to the school a girl in Cameron's class was walking and we stopped to give her a ride. When she got in Cameron asked her if she wanted to see his cool umbrella. She then realized that she'd forgotten hers at home. So we whipped around and went back to her house. It's a good thing that we picked her up. There wouldn't have been enough time if she was walking to go and get it! As you can tell the sun is shining beautifully, not a rain cloud in the sky! At least we are prepared for when it does rain!

Hey guys. It was nice snooping into your cute family for a while. I seriously need to stop looking at people's blogs because I swear I sit down and lose at least an hour jumping around and viewing all of my old friends. I hope I get a chance to see you two at the reunion this summer. I should have been planning it instead of blogging:) Happy Days. Jessica

How close have you been to a Prophet?

David, and two other guys he works with, were invited to the Jazz game last Friday night. I have come to find out as a construction wife, to get business, you gotta play A LOT ! Here is a short list, not limited to, of what I mean by "play": Golfing (about 3 times a week-depending on the week and in warm weather of course) Snow skiing (about 2 times a week, again this depends on the week and when there's snow) Fancy dinners (this can also be counted as lunch, which happens more than I know I'm sure!) Executive Retreats (this will be happening in February for about 5 days in AZ, which will have all 5 days full of golfing, guaranteed!!) Jazz games (again, when in season) I don't know about you, but I think I'm in the wrong career!! This house wife things just does not include ANY of those benefits!! Anyway, on with the story at the Jazz game... These weren't just ordinary tickets. Where do executives and people in high places sit? Oh yeah, ...

Our New Family Pictures

I have been on the hunt for a really good photographer for a long time here and there.  And I think I found one that did everything I wanted.  First, she comes and looks at the feel of your home.  For us I just sent pictures of our living room where I wanted the pictures placed.  Then she suggests colors to wear and sent pictures back with our room and picture placements she puts on the walls.  And with 5 kids, especially Jenna, you really have to photo shop A LOT!!  Almost every photo with Jenna she had to photo shop.  She did amazing!!  I was so nervous when we went over and viewed our pictures at her house.  As David put it after our photo shoot “She has to be a magician to get anything good out of that!  That was a disaster!”  After looking at our proofs I said, “well, you are a magician!”  And David said after leaving and climbing in our car to go home “That was worth every penny.”  Success! I do have a few faces to...

Melanie’s Calling in Life

Image
Two Days ago Melanie was getting ready to go out the door.  She had her coat and was looking for her other jacket.  I asked her why she needed it when she already had her coat on.  She said she was going to take it to her friend at school, Humana, because she wears 3 jackets and doesn’t have a coat.  5 minutes later Melanie asked me “Mom, can we buy Humana a coat?”  I had already been thinking about that but told Melanie I would look while I was out to see if I could find one.  I went to 3 different stores to look!  Winter coats in that size are hard to find these days!  But I finally found something at Walmart and got gloves and a hat.  My friend, Angela, who drove carpool that morning called me while I was out looking.  She called worried because Melanie had said on the way to school that her friend didn’t have a coat and was sleeping on the floor.  I told her I knew about the coat and was getting one but Melanie hadn’t mentioned ...
