I hate being hot. Not my looks sorry, that is what everyone was thinking. I hate the summer time because the kids cry that they are hot and they want you to do something about it but, what are you supposed to do? It takes more then a minute to cool them down. I am so tired but I am watering the lawn and when I water the lawn I can't do anything else that uses water at the same time. Ok this article is for Amy, just because she's special.

She's back! An amateur scientist has thrilled the world with what he says is new video footage of the Loch Ness monster, a serpent that legend says lives in the very deep, dark, murky waters of this mysterious Scottish lake.
Is the Loch Ness monster real or a myth? The British Broadcasting Corp. sent a team of researchers to investigate. This is what they found.

With more than 4,000 sightings of Nessie, this is said to be the finest footage ever captured of the elusive mythical creature, reports The Associated Press. "I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw this jet black thing, about 45 feet long, moving fairly fast in the water," Gordon Holmes, a 55-year-old lab technician from Shipley, Yorkshire, who took the video on Saturday, May 26, told AP. He said it moved at about 6 mph and kept on a straight course. "My initial thought is it could be a very big eel, they have serpent-like features and they may explain all the sightings in Loch Ness over the years."

This week has been so awesome and its only Tuesday! Jason has all week off work and other the some midterms that I have to take its pretty easy. We watched that one movie of Mel Gibson about the Mayan people and that was a pretty interesting show. I can't say good because it was very bloody but it was good. Tomorrow this guy is going to come over to our house and talk about different types of mortages for when we are ready to buy. I think he wants us to get one now I told Jason but Jay wants to buy me a house, we had this talk over the weekend and I thought we decided to wait until he is done with school especially considering that he won't get paid to intern. He said he just wants me to be happy. Aren't I so lucky? The kids are so funny lately. Everything is about germs. Today Novalee touched Harley's coloring book and Harley started screaming and threw it at us and said it had Novalee's germs on it and so she didn't want it.

Ok can I just say how much I love my husband for the support he has for me. He wants nothing but the best for me and my kids. He wants our family to have the best and is willing to do anything to support us. I love him so much and I feel so bad about complaining all the time.

I hate change. I totally hate it. I hate when my schedule has to change. I do what I can to avoid it. I hate getting used to new things. One of the only changes I do like is when a baby is born. I just hate change. I hate having to make my kids change too. That is one of the reason's I want to stay in this house until we buy (I think they are going to let us though so its cool) I know I can find a cheap rental that has more room but since I hate changing things I want to stay here. Isn't that stupid?

Today was ok. Novalee is almost done with kindergarten. She tested 175 out of 180 on the readiness test to go into first grade. The only thing that the teacher said was that Novalee likes to test new teachers and see how much they will let her get away with. What a pill!

Harley is so cute. She was spotlighted on Sunday at church and it was so cute seeing her up there with her crown on. She hopefully will start preschool next school year we are hoping they let her go to the one at Novalee's school. Harley likes to keep reminding Novalee that her plant that they planted for me in primary is growing and Novalee's isn't.
Novalee told me the sadest thing today. She told me her cousin who died and her aunt that died came in and told her they loved her while she was sleeping. She was crying today about it. It's really sad to see her like that. She is the only one that understands death really out of the kids. She even asked her cousins mom if he was going to be alive again

Gunnar is starting to talk more and more. He is so funny, the other day we went to Toysrus to look around and we got him these two cheap dragons and he will sit and play with them nonstop (He wouldn't go to bed last night because he was up all night playing.) He is starting to play more outside. If we are at our home its safer. He got ran into last week when he walked in front of a kid swinging.

Anyways life is pretty good we had a stressor last week but the next day it turned out better then we thought. We are going to be taking temple prep classes soon so I am stoked! My house is clean tonight. I have 3 midterms to take in the next few weeks, my math, psychology and art are doing midterm. My english isn't......instead I get to write 5 million papers! School is pretty cool but I think I don't get out enough and make a fool of myself. Well I hope everyone is good.

Yikes! My life has been so busy lately but, next week looks great!

I am so drained today! My class was at 8 and that was so fun since Jason is in my class but, I came home and I just didn't feel like doing crap today. Gunnar woke up at 5 and since I couldn't get him back to sleep until it was time for me to wake up it stunk. Then my dad called and wanted Jason to meet him somewhere to go to this boating thing but we had just gotten home from school and the house was messy. I thought he was going to come get Jason so I could get the kids down for a nap and get things done. My husband has no real concept how to have a productive day at home. The kids all napped at like 4 he thinks we can just sit and watch tv and while we do someone magically cleans the house. He can't understand why I didn't get the storyline and I want to watch it again. DUH! Not to mention my 5 year old is on this thing where she has to be mean to Harley and Gunnar. Then they started throwing toys and fighting so we got the lucky job of throwing toys in the garbage (for reals this time not pretend). Also since I need more stress our phone line is totally stupid and we can't get a dial tone when we pick it up, we hear some weird static or pick up someone elses phone. When I called the phone company they told me they could come test the outside line up to where it enters the house for free but if they have to repair the lines in the house it will start out at a basic 85 dollar fee. I told them ok just to come check the outside line and Jason started saying no I will tear up our phone line first. Duh. We don't own the house so the landlord will have to pay for it plus we don't even have to test anything inside the house. It took like 5 minutes for me to explain it to him. Then he said , "Why didn't they just say that" Well they did but I was talking to them not him and he wouldn't let me say that. What is wrong with men or is it just my husband? On top of all that I can't put my stupid contacts in because they hurt my eyes so I have to wear ugly glasses! Yeah sorry to vent but it is so annoying.
I have 3 goals for this week Write my 3 paper that are due this week. Yeah already. Not let the kids have friends over so I can just relax even if their friends cry, and to rest. I am so stressed it stinks.

I do not have the motherly patience, I should have, in the middle of the night. Last night Novalee just kept screaming and screaming and she wouldn't stop because her throat hurt. I got her water and medicine and put a show on for her since she slept in our room but, that didn't work. She was so loud and I was so tired. I just kept saying, "Novalee stop crying, stop crying." Finally she stopped and said, "I want to wash my hands." so she went and washed her hands and went back to bed.

Well today was so incredibly depressing. There was a death in Jason's family. I am trying to get over the shock and the sadness of what this person leaves behind. The situation is so sad and I just still can't believe it.

Ok....I am watching this show "The Mormons" I don't know it seems so negative about Joseph Smith.

I was just thinking, I need to go get a weiner dog so I can put him in a weiner dog race. What do you think?

We had a productive day. Novalee fell in love with a new family and my kids decided to be hams for the camera. We had trouble getting the pictures good. Couldn't figure out how to turn the flash off. Otherwise these are really cute.

I can't believe how fast time seems to go for me now. Novalee will be in first grade next year. I feel like she just started preschool and I don't know how I will feel dropping her off all day at school. I know I will enjoy the time to get things done since she doesn't take naps anymore but, I will miss her so much. She's a lot like me in case you didn't know.
Yesterday I had a huge scare. Novalee and Harley were sitting in the front passenger seat while we were waiting for Jason to get out of work. Novalee leaned backwards sticking her head out the window (which I had told both of them not too) and leaned up against the door. Her body pushed the window to start rolling up and it was pushing against her neck. I in panic tried to grab her out but then I stopped and realized to roll the window down on using my buttons on the driver side. That was so scary the whole time the window was pushing on her neck. I guess I am not very good in situations like that I should have thought to roll the window down first instead of trying to pull her out when there was no room to pull her head. I felt so bad. She's ok but it was so scary.

As you can see, we have been doing improvements on our kids, Novalee's skin is too dry so we coat her lips and about two inches around it with chapstick. Harley was doing her own makeup I am not sure if she wanted to look like me or maybe some facial hair like Jason but doesn't it look gorgeous. Next job.......nail polish on Jason. He might have to be asleep for that too happen.

This weekend was really fun. We went to Salt Lake and went to the Beehive house. We also went to the Church History Museum. It was so much fun. Jason had never been to see any of it so I was happy we could go. Plus I like driving our new van.

Well tomorrow is my 7th anniversary. Isn't that weird? Not only am I old enough to have a daughter who is almost 6 but I have been married 7 years. Weird only old people are that old. Also I have gray hair. Jason does too but I don't know if he wants me to say anything. Nothing new going on here. We bought a minivan. Its pretty nice except that the girls keep deciding they want to switch the place where their car seats are while I am driving. I want to slam on the brakes and scream. Summer is here again and the same problem with the lawn is up. I have mowed the lawn like 5 times already this year. Jason says he's too tired. Sunday we went out together to work on the lawn and he got bored and started sweeping out the back of the truck. HE ONLY PULLED ONE WEED!! Can we say dork alert? Well I have tons of stuff to do but since I am being lazy, I am on the computer and not doing anything else. Gunnar is talking like crazy now and makes me laugh all the time. Harley is being more in dependant which makes me so happy since she wants to go to preschool but is too afraid to go to story time by herself. Novalee is at a hard stage and has started the temper tantrums. That is driving me crazy. Well I hope everyone is good. I have some cute pictures I can post as soon as Jason brings home the cable!

These are mostly Easter pictures since it was raining the Easter Bunny had to come in the house and Novalee saw him! Just threw in some of me in case there are withdrawls happening. Also the pics where Jason is posing is when he is getting ready to go take the sacrament to people who can't leave their house. He was very excited to do this.

Random thought. Sometimes when I get something funny to say in my head I start laughing out loud before I say it and then I can't say it because I can't stop laughing but if I do get it out no one can understand what I am saying. Usually it takes like 5 minutes for me to get it out and then the funny things isn't funny anymore. Yeah I know lame huh. Hard to believe I am almost 26
