Back in Business

So our laptop has been acting up and got a virus. I would be typing and then all of a sudden random letters would show up followed by a never ending stream of "u's". David got on and re-booted or did something where it actually works good. He is so handy! I can't believe all of the things I'm finding out about David since we have been married. Of course a lot he has learned in the last 7 years, but he picks up on things so quickly. I wish I were as handy as he, but I guess that's where we compliment each other!

We have been busy this week and it seems like too much to write, so this is the short version! The kids and I got back from a quick 2 day trip from Rexburg to visit some of my family that was moving up there (Alise's), and we got to see my parents and Colby's family, Aunt Debbie, Jason and his wife and my uncle and aunt,Mark and Eilleen who were bringing their daughter up to BYU-I. I also got to go to dinner with my good friend, Marianne whom I went to beauty school with up there. Her and I roomed for the summer before we got done. It was so much fun to talk and catch up and reminisce about some good times. We had such awesome roommates that summer and we didn't let that summer pass with any regrets. I'm so grateful for those memories, but so glad that that stage is over. The right time for things in the right places...

I had my modbe party Tuesday and it was so much fun. My trainer brought a whole suitcase of swimsuits and with my stuff by the end all the clothes were every where. Everyone tried on the clothes in the bedrooms and it was just a lot of fun!

Cameron had a t-ball game that same night and so David had the kids with him. Then a trip to McD's! Of course Cameron thought he was a pretty good baseball player, and of course we assured him he was-"cause he's 6!"

Today we had preschool at our home for the last time at our house. It has been fun and the time has really gone by way too fast. We (the mom's) are just burnt out and everyone is getting busier now that summer is getting closer. Next week will be the last week of it. We've talked about meeting at a park once a week so the girls can still play together and then we can talk! The weather better turn around soon, it rained/snowed today! Then another game of t-ball tonight with pictures afterwards. Glad those are over with!

Kira,
I was just catching up on your blog and I didn't realize you were selling Modbe too. My next door neighbor just signed up to be a consultant. I was hesitant to go because #1 being pregnant and #2 Tammy selling Shade. TO my surprise I fell in love with their swimsuits and found one that even fits over my big belly. :) Sandie was there and according to my neighbor the party went great. Her house looked like a zoo all day but I just bopped in and out. Where in Utah do you live? I know it's way past time but I am still trying to figure out the whole Nielson family. :) I was questioning Brian again last night on certain relationships and he told me no more excuses by now I should now it all. He can only say that because I have 4 TOTAL cousins-and don't let him fool you he still has to have me remind him of them.

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

Image
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 ...
