It's a 3 Day Weekend!!

Yeah, I'm excited for a 3 day weekend!! It started off great with Alyssa sleeping through the night for the first time since last winter!! I'm weaning her and so the last few nights when she has woken up I've just given her water to drink and put her right back to bed. So hopefully we are on to something here and I will be done nursing SOON! Besides, I have to have her trained by the middle of Sept. when our Relief Society girls (for church) are going on a women's retreat to a cabin over night. So I need her trained so David can handle all 4 by himself over night!! Ha!Ha! (what, a break for mom?)

So since I got so much sleep last night I woke up at 5:30 this morning unable to go back to sleep. Since starting the 4th book of the Twilight series I am having dreams of it and it is so, so, SO, annoying!! So I just got up and started reading some more in hopes of finishing it soon! I guess I'm not a fast reader. My friend read this book in 1 1/2 days!!! I'm going on a week and only 1/2 done. I like the book, but it is so weird, and LONG and way too descriptive and I just do not get along with Bella at all. She is the most selfish person and I just don't get her at all! I don't know why I have the emotions I do about her. Kind of weird when it's just a BOOK! I will be glad to be done.

David and Cameron went to the ski grab this morning. They have new ski's for 50% off and discounted season passes to the resorts. David went a TON last year and he rented about the whole time. We are not going to do that again. Also we are getting Cameron his own gear so he can learn. It will be a great confidence builder for him and I'm glad that he will get to go with his dad. While there, David called to tell me about all the good deals they had and my response was, "so is this your early Christmas present or just a lucky Dave day?" I was going to get him new ski's for Christmas, but I guess I need to think of something else!

Monday we were planning to go boating and water skiing with friends. I think plans are changing since it's supposed to be a freezing 62 degrees!! Yikes, winter is coming fast!

Hope you all have a great Labor Day weekend!!

Wow you guys have been busy! I bet there's always something going on when you have 4 little ones in tow...I think my sister Nichole used to teach at your kids' elementary school! I'll have to verify for sure, but reading that post made me think of that...pretty sure she did! Just a weird, random bit of info! lol

I just had to tell you that you're not alone with Bella. I almost didn't want to start the book because she drives me SO CRAZY. It took me forever to get through the first chapter because I was so annoyed by her. It took me almost 2 weeks to read the book (but I have more time than you) and I have to admit but the time I was done I was once again truly impressed. Stephanie Meyer is one creative writer. The book is definitely weird and I kept wondering how many more turns it could take but it kept taking them.
Yeah for skiing! I can't believe winter is already coming. Kind of depressing if you ask me. Oh well. Have a great weekend.

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 ...
