Busy, Busy

We have been busier than usual around here lately. I had to print off a November calendar to keep up with this week. When I have more than 1 thing a day planned outside of the house, that's busy for me. Cameron started his first week of wrestling and just loves it. So for an hour, 3 days a week we head across town for that. Jason had an allergy appt. and no surprise he has allergies! That wasn't very fun for him. First they had me take off his shirt and they put about 70 dots with a permanent marker on his back. Then the nurse pulled out her tray and took that many things and scratched a small part of his back where each dot was. Each one went to a different allergen. Jason was a mess screaming. Poor guy. Doctor's haven't been so fun for him lately! Doctor appt. for me, helping in Melanie's class, visiting teaching, primary party for the kids, you get the idea. But the main thing I have been up to that I can't seem to get away from is making stockings. Crafts for me is a blessing and a curse. Love them, hate that I love it so much! Some days I make myself do some cleaning before and some days I say heck with the cleaning, I am crafting!! David and I have been staying up WAY to late together working on our "projects". Last night when I closed my eyes it was 1:45 AM!! But it is all fun and I will post pictures when they are done. David and I get to go do a little Christmas shopping this afternoon. We have been switching babysitting once a month with another family in the ward. Fun for the kids and the parents.

I can't wait to see your Stockings. I have been wanting to make some for the past 2 years and still haven't got to it.

how fun! I love crafting but have not time to look for fun ones! And I don't get time to myself but on my paper route so that is my staying up late or waking up and driving around and then going back to bed! I do love to craft and sew but hardly do it! I think maybe once I have one or two in school! I hope!

Oh, how I wish I was crafty. If someone shows me than I can manage. I also just read about Jason. You have a lot on your plate right now. I'm so sorry. It's awful when you're kids have to go through so much. I'll keep your sweet family in my prayers. Lots of hugs. Jen

That is a great idea about switching the babysitting. It's nice you have friends there you are so comfortable to do that with. Hopefully your late nights are paying off. Can't wait to see it all!

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 ...
