What a weekend for Melanie

First I'll just say that blogging with out pictures, isn't fun! So sorry for no pictures.

Friday while picking up shampoo at the beauty store, Melanie was running around the store (no surprise and VERY annoying.) I told her 2x's to stop running and does she listen? Oh no. So she ran right into the corner of a medal shelf and split her forehead wide open. So scratch the rest of the errands I had and I quickly call David so he can meet me and I called my neighbor to ask if I can drop off Jason and Alyssa at her house while I was at urgent care. We got to the urgent care and I was pulling Melanie out of the car. She did not want to go in. She was screaming and so scared to get stitches. I found out shortly that our new insurance didn't cover that urgent care so back out to the car to go to the urgent care that did. David showed up and luckily when the doctor looked at it she decided to glue it. So no crying and a prize at the end made Melanie even happier!
Saturday I took Melanie to the Hannah Montana movie. It was fun. But I think it was a little to old for her because 1/2 way through she wanted to go home. She sat on my lap for the last 1/2 of the movie. It was still fun though.
Sunday afternoon the kids were jumping on the tramp and Melanie tried to catch her balance by grabbing on to the side of the fence. Well it just shredded her hand from her palms to her fingers. She was NOT happy when David was trying to clean it and bandage it all up. And to top off it all, she gets her kindergarten shots today! Bad things really do happen in 3's!

Wow-not fun for her. When Amber was 3 got stitches twice Nov/April. I thought that was crazy for a girl-usually you hear these stories focused around the boys. I hope Melanie has a better week-at least no more shots for a good long time right?!!!

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 ...
