I'm Tired!!!!

Okay, I just have to vent for a minute for my sanity. I hate getting ready for trips. I always like leave a clean house, which makes no sense because you just come home and drag all the luggage through and within a matter of two mintues tops your clean house is now a dirty house. I really think I have sat for three mintues today and I still have packing to do for our Grace Idaho trip and for our Phoenix trip. AHHHHH! I am so tired.

I am on the other hand very happy. I know it doesn't matter in Kindergaten but Dallin did another amazing job on his report card. I am such a proud mom and it is so much fun to watch him learn and grow. I can't believe he is reading....next thing to work on.....get him to like reading!!!!! He also had a coach pitch game last night and not only did you hit a home run, it was a grand slam!!! He has done so well with coach pitch and Dallin and his buddy Tanner are the only Kindergarteners on the team, the rest are in First and Second grade. What can I say, I am a proud mom. Let's just say he didn't get any of it from me. If he was out there picking the flowers and doing cart wheels then I would say he got it from me....I am a little worried that that might be Alex. Just kidding, we set up t-ball for him at the game last night and people kept commenting on how far he could hit it and then when he'd throw the ball back to Greg he has an arm. Once again....not my genes!!!!

Wow, I am starting to feel better already. Now, I need a nice big Coke to seal the deal!!!!

Chow!

Wow it really works

Well, I can't believe it! It works. All this time I didn't think that my blogging page worked and I was looking at Jen's and saw all the people she had hooked to hers and so I got on and started looking at everyones. well, I decided to attempt it again and it said I already had one and so you can imagine my surprise when I saw that people actually got on my blogging page. Yeah,...I am starting something new and it worked. See Greg and I are a match made in heaven except for the fact that neither of us can fix anything or figure anything out on our own and that makes for a sad mix. Take for instance our swing set....could have been a good reason to maybe divorce...just kidding...but it has been almost put together for two months. We spent a Saturday doing it and we got it almost put together and decided it was either stop putting it together and finish later and still be ...you know...."inlove" or keep going and yeah...well.

Life is good. My little Dallin finishes kindergaten tomorrow. I think I will have a harder time with first grade since he will be gone all day. I can't even believe how fast time flies. My babies are growing up. Where does the time go? I am started to recall memories of my mom and her friends from when I was little and I can really relate to her. I always thought my mom was so old when I was younger but she wasn't. I am sure that is what my kids think of me...although I am a goofy mother. I think they think I am just a little strange sometimes when I turn on the music and dance around the house. Let's face it... I will always be a little goofy. I will do things with the boys and then they will do it infront of others and people will say.."oh, that is something Greg would do.." That's funny since I just taught them to do it....(I say in my head) All though, Greg and I are two peas in a pod. I know what he is going to say even before he says it. We definetly share a brain.

We are getting ready to head out for two weeks. This is Greg's third year directing EFY and we are heading down to Phoenix to do an EFY there this week. Greg's brother Jeff is going to be one of the speakers and so that well be fun. We are then heading over to Disneyland for a week after that. I am dreading the driving. Greg's sweet great grandma just passed away on Memorial day and so we are heading up to Idaho for the funeral and then heading straight down to Idaho. Hello, 17 hours of driving with three little boys! Crazy. I am just glad she died before we left because Greg would die if he couldn't go to the funeral. She was one of the most amazing women. She would have been 104 years old in August and her husband died when she was around 50 and she has been so ready to die for so long. She has always wanted Greg to sing at her funeral and so there is no way we could have missed it.

Well, I better start doing something!

Give it a try

Okay, I am going to give this whole blogging thing a try. Since becoming a mom I have become not so hot on the computer, but I think it might be fun. Life is great and i love being a mom. Dallin is now six, Alex is two, and Colton is now one. I can hardly believe how fast time flies. It scares me that it goes by so fast. I love every second....okay almost every second of motherhood. I just potty trained Alex and I kept putting it off because I dreaded that whole "germs in the bathroom" thing and it actually has worked out great. He hasn't had one accident, even through the night. I really can't complain because so far, out of two potty training experiences, they both have gone great. I just have to get over the whole germs thing and I think we will be okay. Right now, as I am trying to type, Colton is screaming because Alex is trying to give him a blessing. Poor Colton. He has been sick and so Greg gave him a blessing and now Alex follows him around everywhere trying to give him a blessing. Atleast he's trying to be righteous.

We are trying to work on our yard. The yard in this new house is awful. I think the previous owners planted a billion flower beds...huge flower beds with a billion plants.....ugly plants...and then they never weeded for about seven years. It is killing us because we had just finished our yard in our last house, just last summer and it looked so nice and was so much work. It is sad starting over again. We spend hours out in the yard and it doesn't even look like we touched it. I guess I shouldn't complain...if that is all that is going bad in life, than I think we are lucky. Knock on wood.

Time to run!!!!
