Not Always The Way You Hoped!

David's company is working on a job in Hilo, Hawaii and he went last October to visit the job site. Of course the first time to Hawaii for us both and it's WITHOUT me! So he promised me in January when the job was done, we'd go together. Well, January has come and gone and the job is just about done. (If anyone knows anything about construction-it's NEVER on time!) David left this morning at 5 am to go to the airport-destination, Hilo Hawaii! Of course WITHOUT me! So I'm glad that my parents are coming Saturday and Sunday so I won't be at church alone with 4 kids, like the last time!

David did say that Hawaii didn't sound as much fun anymore. I think he will change his mind though when we do go and we go to a beautiful island and work is not on his mind!!

So that's what I'm up to for the next 4 days, me and the kids hangin' out while my hubby is snorkeling, golfing and, oh yeah...working in Hawaii.

The life of a housewife huh? The boys get to play while the girls stay at home and tend to the kids like every day and night! Thats why I enjoy going to work out. I get to leave without the kids.

just doesn't seem fair does it? but someday when you go for FUN and NOT FOR WORK it will even better. if i know David, it would be hard to truly enjoy a "work vacation" with him and work on the brain!

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 ...
