Well today I just so thankful. I have just been feeling kind of bad because things aren't how I want them to be. Like my yard looks terrible, I mow it but I don't have time for much more. My house is messy. I don't have perfect grades. I think I am going to end up with a C in my english class despite how hard I worked. I get my kids dress with their hair done all nice and 30 minutes later Harley will have her hair ties pulled out and lipstick on her shirt or Novalee will decide that I didn't do her hair nice and add ribbons, clips and who knows what to it. I just feel like I want things to be perfect and it never is. I never even have time half the time to do my hair if I am lucky enough to get a shower in. Then I get the mail and there is a article about how Satan tries to discourage us because we are not perfect. How wonderful is that? Don't you love when you troubles and prayers are answered in little ways like that? I do.

Oh my goodness, these last few days have been so busy! I don't even have time to sit and talk to Bonny! I know alot of it comes from me being a huge procrasinator. I had to stay up until midnight last night doing a paper. My other papers with the same length took me like an hour or so to do. This one took at least 8 hours to do and I am so drained! Once I finally got into bed. I had so much on my mind like how my lawn needed to be mowed. (I can't do that yet since I am still very sore from Tuesday. Weird isn't it. I was sunburned Tuesday out on Jordanelle but it is still very painful and being in the sun just heats it up. ) Jason told me to hire someone to do the lawn but I don't want to pay someone to do something that we can do if we just make ourselves do it.

I have to clean the house which looks totally disgusting. Jason was so frustrated last night because the kids kept getting into the no bake cookies while I was doing my paper and it had a huge mess so he cleaned the living room.

The kids have swimming lessons today at 9:00 which hopefully helps them to take a good nap before we go with my wonderful friend Luzmarina today. I am taking a mother-baby class with Gunnar since I knew there was no way he would sit and watch his sisters in the pool.

I still have a lot of math to do. Like 2 chapters!! Anyways despite all this stupid stuff that comes with life. I am very lucky because I have the best of things that come also. My kids are so wonderful and I am so lucky to have them. Jason is such a great husband and loves me even though I was too tired to get up and make him his lunch this morning =)

Gunnar has been such a pill these last two weeks! Let me just say that. I have to go deal with a screaming 1 year old, well he will be 2 in October. I have a hard time being angry with this face. Having him "rar" as his way of talking makes it even worse. I had to tell him last night that Mommy doesn't like it when he hits her in the nose with his head. He looked at me, squinted his eyes and said "RAR!"

Happy Birthday Novalee!!

Well, it's over now, my baby is six years old. Isn't that sad? Novalee had a great with many presents. Alot was notebooks and stuff to write with. She is so special. I am so lucky to be her mommy. We went to Wingers on Tuesday for her birthday and she got her own Sundae and she just had so much fun that night when she was getting into bed she said, " Mommy, I had to best birthday ever." That was before the party.

Tonight after the party, the girls were playing in their room and Harley came out all mad. I asked her what was wrong and she said, "Mom can Novalee do whatever she wants?" I told her no that Novalee was lying. Novalee came back in and said, " Mom I can do whatever I want. I am 6 that means I am a grown up." Isn't that so cute?? Of course I told her no but, it was really cute.

Today just was one of those stupid blah days. I woke up at 5 because I had get Jason's lunch for work. He left at about 5:20 and I had to sit with Gunnar because he was just crying non stop this morning. While I was trying to get him back to sleep I had to tell Harley to go back to bed because even though its starting to get lighter outside she had to go back to bed. She didn't want to but I needed her to. So after about 30 minutes both kids are asleep. I fall asleep and wake up about 9 feeling like crap. I could smell something totally rank. It turns out it was Gunnar who was in my bed! Luckily he didn't leak out his diaper. So I get him changed, get all three kids breakfast and I discover that I am incredibly sick today. I didn't feel like doing anything all day so I just decided to get online and do some math. I dink around on the computer for about 30 minutes when I finally get to my math program and it tells me that I have an outdated program and I need to install another one!! So I try for like an hour constantly getting kicked offline and its not letting me finish a download. I had to bring my tower to my inlaws house last time (two months ago-- apparently long enough to outdate my program) I kept trying all day and when I am on the computer all day I feel so depressed. Yuck!!! So I can't do my homework. I have a birthday party in two days I won't have a van to get my things done to get ready for the party since Jason needs to get off work early the next two days. I have to go get Novalee's presents done. I have to get like party favors and things like that. I have to go to Harry Potter tomorrow. Plus make sure the cake is good and all that fun stuff. Jason is supposed to get off at 11:30 tomorrow be home by 12 then we have about 2 hours to get everything at the store for her party before we head up to SLC to go to the movies. Not to mention I feel like crap and my poor baby is so sick with a fever and runny poop. Sad. I don't want to ruin Novalee's big day but I feel like just staying in bed the next few days. I am trying to talk my honey into taking tomorrow off work but since he likes to pay bills he wants to work. Oh well can't complain. I so think Mom's need sick days. Sorry I am confusing but I am majorly stressed.

OK so according to Novalee this guy is going to be president some day. We saw him walking along BYU and so Novalee took his picture and said that. We had an awesome trip!

How my kids talk:

Novalee - "My mom is alive is yours?"

Harley - " Gunnar wanted me to wake him up to watch tv"

Gunnar - "rar rar rar rar rar dada rar rar rar rar rar" Translated "My sisters are fighting and I think they said a bad word. Dad is asleep rar dinosaurs."

The other Novalee and I had an amazing adventure we went on a long road trip to Cafe Rio. Its Mommy's new favorite town! Well here are some of the pictures. Novalee was an excellent photographer. We even saw a man that is going to be the president one day!!

I am so annoyed today! I live 2 blocks away from where the parade is going to be tomorrow and it is so crazy just people have been down with their blankets and stuff since Saturday. People areas taped off for them. Its stupid. I want to take the kids down but I don't want to deal with these stupid people a lot of them are from out of town too which doesn't seem right to me. It took like 10 minutes running to the store which is just down the street since people are just hanging out in the road. I just put this picture in because its what I feel like doing, not to Jason though. I love him.

At least the kids did the childrens parade on Saturday. Bonus for tonight though! I will see Bonny tomorrow!! I am so excited!!

Today we went "shopping" at Jason's aunt's house. She gives us all her daughter's handme downs and the clothes are always so cute. She likes Disney Princesses and Barbies just like my kids do so its perfect. Plus since she has so many clothes they all look so new because they were never worn. The kids also got a load of level reading which is really good since Novalee is getting so good at reading. The books are Barbie books which might make it more fun (hopefully)

Not much else is going on, I have a lot of homework I have to do like study for a final and finish a paper but, the super nintendo Super Mario RPG calls my name while the kids are snoozing. I am such a dork. In case you didn't already know. The girls and I take turns playing but since I am mean I take the paddle from them if they aren't doing good. I just tell them their turn is over and I will cry if I don't get my turn.

This has been such a busy summer. I finally got one class done. I got an A-. I have a paper due and I have a final this weekend.

Last Saturday was a childrens parade for Provo. It was so cute. Harley got tired after about a block because she was on her tricycle. We have to buy her a bike next week since she has earned it by letting her hair grow out. After she said she was too tired to go on, we found some friends on the side of the street, sat down by them and let the kids collect tons of candy. It was a fun day.

These pictures of the kids running is from our backyard. I was making them run instead of just swinging. It was fun but then Harley stopped since she wasn't winning.

I have more good news also. Next week we start the Temple Prep classes! I am so excited. I was about to cry when I found out ( Don't worry, I didn't embarrass myself that way, I waited until it was just Jason and I) I can't believe we are finally going to start.

Some more good news this week, Bonny will be coming on Tuesday night for a week. Unfortunately we don't get to see Junaid but, hopefully he will be coming down sometime later this year.

Novalee has a birthday next week on the 12th. She has a princess castle cake ordered. Its bigger then the last one because it has more toys. That is the only reason we buy cakes you know. My kids love the little figures that you get on top of cakes. Once Jason went and bought just the toys from different cakes for the kids. There is something that is kind of sad with her birthday this year. 2 of her friends are going to be out of state on her birthday so they can't come to her party. I also feel bad for her because she can't invite friends from school to her party since I don't know where any of them live and since its summer vacation I don't know how to get a hold of them.

I also plan on signing the kids up for swimming lessons in a few weeks. I forgot to do it earlier but I am sure I will be able to get the kids all in classes. Novalee and Harley will have their own classes but I think I will do the mother/baby one with Gunnar since he's too little for swimming lessons and I think he will have a fit if the girls get to swim and he doesn't. It is going to cost us $75 dollars for 2 weeks of classes for us! I am not liking the price but the kids love it so it will be worth it. I am going to see if we can get a discount since Jason has a free membership to the Rec Center through Dixon and since he works for Provo City doing Junior Jazz we might get a discount that way also. I have to call and see.

Well that is about it on what is going on with my wonderful life.

My kids are so silly. Novalee will stand in front of a mirror and try to fight with someone so she can watch herself yell. She will yell at someone (sometimes me) and then stop and look at herself. Harley will walk around and tell the kids what to do. I tell her not to and she tells me that she is in charge and she can do whatever she wants. Its annoying but it is so cute. I have to try not to laugh. Gunnar is just Gunnar. He is so funny. He walks around trying I think to look like a T-Rex, kind of tiptoeing, and his head is kind of down. He will slowly look up and growl. Its so cute.

This picture of Gunnar is him getting into my makeup while I was getting ready for church I walk out of my room for a minute and when I walk back in I see Gunnar putting powder on. Luckily he didn't see me so I was able to take his picture

Well today I found out I apparently was going to be a grandma!! Novalee was having a baby and Harley was the doctor! Wow!!!

Well this morning my little boy woke up and decided that he didn't want me he wanted Harley. How sad is that? He got out of my bed (slept there again last night) and walked out I went to get him and he started crying. He pushed me away and said, "Ma" and went to Harley! What?!?

Well, today I gave Jason the stupid test. He was ignoring me on most of the questions so I answered what I think he would say. This is what the results are

2.5%
Borderline Dolt
OOOh. Didn't see that one coming. You are a "Borderline Dolt." You're not stupid, but you're not not stupid. You probably can't figure that out. You're still here? Go chase squirrels or something.

Sad I think he would get a better score if he took a history class at school.
I know we all can't be as good as me!

Anyways all those hundreds of fans who miss me let me know I will find something to do.

(KUTV) SALT LAKE CITY What’s hovering over Salt Lake City?

Is it a rocket? Is it a blimp? Is it a UFO?

A strange object seen in the skies above in Salt Lake City has residents scratching their heads.

What appears to be a huge air balloon was seen floating above the valley Wednesday morning.

The silver, rocket-shaped craft was sighted about 8 a.m. and floated about for several minutes before disappearing.

Salt Lake Air Traffic Control said they didn’t pick up the object on radar and had no knowledge of the craft.

They will be looking into the sighting to see if any air traffic rules were violated.

Do I need to say anything else??

Harley (really loudly) , "You're not my mommy! Your a robot!" Nice huh. Not to mention we were in the library

Oh my goodness! Today is Logan's birthday!! He is six years old! Happy Birthday Logan!

Isn't this picture so sweet? I love the feeling

of holding one of my kids. No matter how tired I am I love to sit and cuddle with my kids.

Yesterday was so embarrassing. I had been asked to say something in Relief Society. I got up there and I totally forgot what I was going to say. I can't believe I did that. Normally I have plenty to say but for some reason I couldn't think of what I was going to say. It was sad.
