Happenings

Not a lot going on around here, but a few things I wanted to write down. I took Cameron into the urgent care last night. He slipped on water that Alyssa had spilled on the kitchen floor and his toes jammed into a chair. We thought is was fine at first, but he kept complaining and limping and then when I looked at it before bed his 4th toe was all black and blue and had a red line on the skin from bleeding under the skin. So we thought it best to take him in last night rather than wait till today and take him out of school. After x-rays, no break so that was good. Even though it wasn't broken I was glad I took him in just to get the piece of mind. It looked worse this morning so I know I for sure would have taken him in today if I didn't last night.

David took off for a business trip to Hawaii. I know, work is tough when you have to go to Hawaii. I think this will be a good break for him. He will be home on Sunday, so it's a long trip.

Yesterday Jason was asking to watch a movie. I told him "no, it's Sunday". He walked out on to the porch, looked at the sky and said "no it's not Sunday, the sun's not out!" To cute!!

The kids keep talking about our new baby. Cameron is determined that it's a boy, because "Heavenly Father goes in patterns!" Melanie is hoping for a girl, of course. But they are all excited to help out what ever it is. Cameron practiced cracking eggs for breakfast and toasted the bread. He really wanted to do it all by himself. During breakfast Melanie said "these are the best eggs ever!" I think that helped to boost Cameron's cooking abilities up a notch!! When we walked out to the car to go to school he said he "was so excited to make breakfast when the baby comes." I hope that their enthusiasm is still there in 7 months! I am going to need all the help I can get!

I went to the gym today and did some walking on the treadmill. I had stopped for a few months and it has shown, both on the scale and my behind! I was SHOCKED when I got weighed at my first visit last week. Usually I weigh what I did AFTER the baby is born at my 6 week check up, not before. A little depressing, but enough motivation to get me back to the gym which I need anyway!

I am looking forward to July. I need a vacation badly. The kids will have a 3 week break for summer and I am going to use that with all I got. Get me out of the house, even if it's just to the pool!!

I'm catching up on reading blogs and just read about you being pregnant!! What? That's awesome. Last I talked to you, you said maybe next year. Guess you couldn't resist. Hope you start feeling better. I hate that part of pregnancy so bad!

Sounds like life is good. I think that's cute about Cameron's cooking. I can't wait to see the new baby. Maybe God will work in a pattern for your family. Your kids are darling. Hope you keep feeling well and all goes well.

When I heard that David was going to Hawaii for work, I was very jealous. I've never been, and he's going..for work? blah...someday, someday. As for working out, I feel the same way. It's much harder motivating yourself to go work out by yourself. Especially when you feel like there's so much that needs to be done around the house. Well, it all works out, 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

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 ...
