Headache...

I was just complaining to my sister that I had a headache that won't go away and she says,

"I have been having them too."

And then she continued with, "You would too if you had my life!"

I told her I just had to blog that one.

With which she responded, "I don't even have time to blog anymore...I am all for making my kids smart but the whole homework thing is just way too much. May be I can blog on Fridays...there is no homework on Fridays."


Okay may be you didn't think it was funny...but I sure did.

General Conference

So I am really excited for conference this weekend...the girls are getting bigger and able to understand so much more. I really want to make it meaningful for them so I have been scouring the internet for ideas...just thought I would share some that I have found.


A conference wall...I am definitely going to do this one, I plan on having the girls help me cut some pictures out of our old Ensigns tomorrow to make our pages.

This is the apostle song, we watched it for FHE the other night.

I just found this one tonight ...so many ideas! I love the idea about sleeping in a tent...right now our backyard is all dirt and totally torn apart in preparation for the addition but we are definitely going to do this one in April!

Somewhere I also read the idea of taking the center spread out of the last conference issue of the Ensign..in this case the May 09 one and posting it on the wall, then when a new person comes up to speak you find them on the poster and put a sticker on their photo. I think that we will do this one as well.

I'm off to bed....opps almost forgot one of my other favorite sites that lists all sorts of conference ideas.

Wishing you the best!

The things they say...

today Lyndie decided to announce to one of my RS counselors that one of the rooms in our house was for our baby. Amy got this huge smile on her face and I quickly had to assure her that I was NOT pregnant. Lyndie so wants to be a big sister she is constantly asking when I am going to have her baby.

Someday...

I think I may get my life in order, come down with a good routine, have all my wash done, dishes put away, counters clean, RS stuff taken care of, but I don't think it's going to happen any time soon...especially with a house "readdition" (as Malia puts it) happening anyday now and just may be someday I'll update you on all that is happening in our lives in a more timely manner but don't count on it!

So until then enjoy a few photos of our Sunday evening walk!
BTW...did you know we are now a family of EIGHT...just kidding!

Pool Days...

I am up way past my bedtime....so I'll just have to let the pictures do the talking tonight, even though school has started we haven't let it stop us from spending our afternoons at the pool. I am so glad Lainey only goes half day to school so we can play in the afternoons!

Soccer Days...

We spent our first of what I am sure will be MANY days on the soccer field today! It was so fun watching the girls play!
