GIVE ME A BREAK!

And I do not mean a kit kat bar!

Any who. So tonight is one of my friends birthdays. Her hubby plans a fun night out to dinner and then games at their home. We all get babysitters and go to dinner. Super good time by the way. After dinner we all leave and go to their home.

Al and I get there first. Then the other 4 couples return with THEIR CHILDREN! Am I being rediculous or would the rest of you do this? Hire a babysitter for an adult night out and return with kids. I am sorry but it is not fun to me, to go play games, but we have to wait and hour or two for everyone to get their kids in seperate rooms and down to bed! In other words impossible! I spend all week with these kids. SERIOUSLY>

I just want a break! One night with good conversation, good food and good fun. Is this to much to ask? Holler To all my friends in Utah and those that will just hangout.


To those that are addicted to your children. The prophet says that we need to spend quality time ALONE with our spouse to have a good, quality, wholesome marriage. I know that sometimes I forget why we got married. Our spouses get put on the back bunner so often because of life. It is fun to go out and flirt and just have a good time with out worry about feeding the baby or gavin yelling in the restaurant.

SUNDAY TALK

A couple of weeks ago Alan had to speak in church. He thought it would be funny as his joke to volunteer me to speak! The bishopric also agreed that this was funny and so they asked me to speak. NOT FUNNY! Anyway, as my joke I volunteered Alan for a calling. I said well bishop Al said that we have been in the ward for a while and he said that he can't believe that he has not been called to serve. I told everyone that he was ready and willing. The 1st counselor came up to me after and told me not to worry his name is down and they are just deciding where to put him. Karma sucks babe.

I spoke on Reverence. What a great topic. I think we could all use a little reverence in our lives. Not just Sundays but a whole lifestyle. If we are reverent then we respecting and loving our Father in heaven. We will be a better people over all. Pres. Kimball said that Latter day Saints should be the most reverent of all people on the face of the earth. Wow that really puts it in perspective. In our manuals for church-Teachings of the prophets. Pres. Kimball Lesson 15 in on Reverence take a look.

I am a dork!

Ok Ok I know it has been a while but I just had to post about this book as I just finished reading for the 2nd time! I went the night it came out an hour early and waited in line, ALONE mind you. To get the book. The 2 little boys behind me had the coolest wand. I was on the phone with Stacie Roger and my sister in law. They both live on the west coast. So they wanted me to call them when I got it. Anyway, I got this cool wrist band that said Gryffindor on it and that was my line. When it was time to start moving they let the Gryffindor line go before Slytherin. Thats right! You know the better house. So I got my book and The wrist bands for the rest of the houses. I got home and started reading. Read til 5 am went to bed. Woke at 8 and started again. I had to work that day so I took it to work. My husband was not to happy since he wanted to start reading it. But I could not put it down. I cried at work while reading! Anyway-I loved it I am sad it is over. So if anyone else has any suggestions for somemore good books Come on down.

THANK YOU

Today was such a hard day. And, for no real reason. Kids were winey I was tired etc. When my husband gets home he is so good about taking them and spending daddy time. He wrestles with Gav and helps them bath and talks and play. They love it and I love it. There is nothing better than watching a daddy with his kids. I am so thankful for all the involvment my husband gives. What a great dad. I love you.

I HATE the Hospital

Ok so friday night softball is pretty much a ritual in our fam. If alan is not playing in a league then I am. So tonight Alan was playing catcher and his best friend short stop. Launched a ball at him for the play. Well I don't know if it is Alans failing eyesight-he refuses that he needs glasses- or just anticipation of the play but Alan got a pretty good ball hit to the face.

6 hours, a cat scan, a fractured eye soccet-I can't spell- and a perscription for pain pills. It is 2 am and I cannot sleep. My husbands face is just nasty. I will post some pics.

But the point is the emergency room SUCKS! Everyone is nasty and sick. They take forever. Ok mam we will just get your stuff and check you out. Why does that take an hour and a half. Get the paperwork already. Let me go home.

Baylie

Baylie is just 7 months old and already so much personality is booming out of her. She tries to be very serious. She sees how long she can go without smiling. It is hilarious. She is such a frustrated baby! She sees her brother running and jumping and she wants to do it soooo bad! She comandos everywhere. She can't crawl all the way yet. She does the rock on the knees thing. But she can get on her belly and use her elbows to get her everywhere.

She LOVES Food. I was looking forward to the fun face stage when they try new food. Baylie just wants to eat it all. She loves it.

THE GAVSTER

This is my Gavin. Without whom I am not sure my days would exsist. He is such a great big brother to Baylie. He loves to 'play' with her. And at 7 months this consists of him laying his head in her lap and letting her pull or suck or smack his head and face. He is my permanate diaper getter and throw awayer!

Gavin LOVES sharks, fish and anything that has to do with sea animals. Shark week is a big thing in our home. He love to play with Cars and swords. He is very excited to start pre-school and take is 'pack pack' to school. Gavin is such a good friend and everyone is his BEST friend.

He can swim so good. He loves his goggles and to do big arms. He jumped off the diving board and swam across the pool all by himself. Good boy!

New at this!

Ok so thanks a lot friends who talked me into this junk!:) I already have to many addictions ie-myspace, Harry Potter, candy I do not need to add another to the long list. AHHHH but here goes an attempt.
