Oh Boy!

So it's been a awhile since I've posted and I have no excuses other than I wanted to wait and figure out how to get pictures off my phone...hum...still haven't figured it out not that I've tried very hard.

So this is what has happened since the last time I blogged. The week of our move was absolutely crazy. We started packing Monday, (the last one in January) until 12:45 am, thank goodness the kids didn't have school. And on Tuesday after school we continued to pack...and pack...and load...and pack. Isn't it amazing how much one accumulates when they grow in house size. By 10:45 Tuesday night I went to bed only because I ran out of boxes. Wednesday morning Trent drove the UHaul down and I drove the kids down for school. When Trent got to the Peach house I supervised while Trent, Daniel (Trent's brother in law), and Steve Shulkins unloaded. Yes I did a little unloading too. We were able to put all our stuff in the one car garage there at the Peach house, except (of coarse) that which was weather tempermental like pictures, home videos, computer, oh and my great-great grandmother's table. Wednesday afternoon I went back up to Wonder Valley and finished packing and cleaning while my husband and Connor went to Utah for a couple days. Yeah that was fun...I had Hunter and Haylee. For those of you who know them well, you know they are wild and crazy and feed off each other...holy cow. I'll post pictures later of them climbing my pantry shelves that was after I cleaned up a destitin mess and 2 card games...needless to say, I was tired at 10 that night and we left, personally I was exhausted. Then Thursday after I picked up Haylee I headed back to finish the cleaning because our renters were moving in later that afternoon. Luckily my sister-in-law offered to watch the kids for me. THanks Lori. By the time I got home from there it was 5:00 pm and we were offically moved out.

THe following WEdnesday we had a wonderful ordeal of stiches. Connor decided to play British Bulldog with the big boy scouts. Usually they're pretty good with Connor and his friend Ronan, but things got a little crazy and Connor tried to ditch one of the boys and got too close to a wall and ended up with 11 stitches above his left eye and going down into his eye lid. When he woke up the next morning he looked pretty beat up, he posed for pics well too. Those will be posted later too.

Let's see what's next on our wonderful list. Haylee's getting her tonsils taken out on Mon. March 3, so that'll be intersting. Um I'm in a musical called Savior of the World which we will perform on March 21 & 22 so that takes me out of the house 3 nights a week . Practices are getting crazy. So right now we are living with my parents and also my brother Nate, his wife and 4 month old son. It hasn't been too bad, but we will welcome our house when we move into it in a week. Oh, then there's the sickness we are fighting. We've had the cold running through this family and unfortunatley it has gotten to Lincoln (my nephew) and sister-in-law and myself. I'm still hoping Haylee doesn't get it cause she can't be sick for the next week before her surgery. So with my and Michele's husbands gone a lot, working late into the evening I have decided it was time for a mom's night. So tonight it that night....until more drama comes....

Sounds like fun! Hey, I have a good suggestion for a Girls night Out Moive. I went out to the 10pm, yes, me the 10pm movie with a bunch of girls in our ward/neighborhood on Wednesday. We saw Definitely, Maybe. It was a really good movie, esp. for just girls. And fun to be without kids! Have fun with Michele!

I hope that everything goes okay with Haylee. I am sure she is looking forward to all of the ice cream. I am sure you are looking forward to getting settled back into your house on Peach. I totally feel your pain about moving so often :-)
