Zoo Day!!

The zoo was really fun! Gunnar was in love with all the snakes, Harley got to see her beloved wolf, and Novalee got to pose for pictures! They didn't have the butterflies that she wanted to see but she had fun. It was kind of chilly but it was worth it. Afterwards we went to the Mayan for dinner and the kids got to watch the diving show. Ending up with a round of Spades with Grandma Kathy and Grandpa Jerry. It was a great day.

Novalee was in the Spelling Bee!!

For some reason it was really dark. She did awesome she made it through 4 rounds I think but ended up starting the word wrong and if you know how spelling bees work, when you start the word off wrong, even if you go back and spell it right, it is still a missed word. I am so proud of her. She is so smart and such a fun girl!

Happy Valentines Day???

I am so behind on what has been going on at our home if you can't tell by these posts, this year on Valentines Day, I helped at Harley's party. I ended up not feeling very good so I just took pictures while others did all the work. I didn't get to go to Novalee's class for her party but she came home with lots of candy too. The next day on the actual Valentines Day, we went with Grandma Kathy and Grandpa Jerry to Tucanos. They had a wonderful set up for Valentines Day and all the girls got roses. My girls each got 2 because they asked for a different color. After dinner we went back over to Jason's parents and played Spades which is now one of my favorite games. Its even better if I win though.

One last post

Thanks everyone for emailing me and leaving me great comments. I think that yesterday I just woke up after a dream I had about my Grandma and it just really was hard. Its so frustrating for me right now. I mean its not like I talked to her everyday but the fact that I can't call her or go see her. I can't just vent to her or get a hug from her. I just miss her so much and I can't even imagine how my Grandad is doing it. She always just let me talk which everyone knows I love to do. She always encouraged me to do my best and it would motivate me being a mom. Growing up she was always there for me and I could call her when everything was going on with my parents. In my dream I was so frustrated I was on my way to see her but I kept missing her and then I missed her and we were on our way to her funeral. I woke up just so upset from it. It put me in a bad mood and having kids that kept fighting and then laughing at me when I got mad at them didn't help.
Well, that is the last of my unorganized thoughts for now. Getting ready for the spring!!

Is this too personal?

Well, today is Sunday and I am still feeling kind of just here. Just thought everyone in the blogging world should know. However. I just found out that we are not going to be able to make it to church again today and I know that on days that I feel just not like going are the days that I actually should go. I just always feel so terrible when I miss church and like I am disappointing my kids even though they don't want to even go. That makes it harder because I want them to want to go. When I was going by myself it was easier it seemed because I was focused on going every week. Jason also wasn't working as much as he is now. I don't know I am just so worried because I haven't been for 3 weeks. I am so worried that the Bishop will come and tell us that we are losing are recommends now. I have a strong testimony I just am going through a lot right now and just am worn out mentally and physically every day. The kids don't listen so the whole first hour is me taking them out to the hall and watch them laugh as I get frustrated. I love the temple and I never want to be not able to go. We pay our tithing and do everything we should be doing except make it to church everyweek. AHH! Oh well, I just had to vent. I might even delete this later today.

Blah!

Well, today has just been one of those days, I could tell when I woke up and just was upset from my dream and then the kids have just been out of control today. I have been doing pretty good lately but then today just I have been crying on and off and trying to not freak out on my kids and somehow when my house is all clean in the morning by 2 the house is torn up and the sink is full of dirty dishes. Right now I should be cleaning like usual but all I can do is keep thinking about one thing and keep crying. Anyways, tomorrow is Sunday and we will hopefully have a great day!

The Lovely Jonas Brothers! In Provo!

Here is the plan, Friday night at 4:30 you know where I wil be? At home getting ready to buy tickets to the Stadium of Fire. We missed Miley Cyrus last year and Novalee was heart broken. We couldn't afford it so we didn't try this year we are going to try and get something. They love the Jonas Brothers! I am keeping it all a secret until we know what we get.

Gunnar is handsome!

Last night Gunnar went potty in the toilet while we were at Grandma Kathy's and Grandpa Jerry's. He knows when he has to go potty since the only time he will go is when we promise him a treat first. I think he is just stubborn. Harley and Novalee had been off the wall all night and after a few instances of time out we were not going to get the girls a treat too. We go home and Gunnar started eating his skittles Novalee was so mad that she didn't get one, she started asking why Gunnar got candy and she didn't. Gunnar just answered for us, "Because I am handsome and good"
That was too cute not to mention.
On the other hand the girls have been saying some pretty funny things lately just some that I don't want to post on Blogger!
