First "Late Over"

Macee had her first "Late Over" last night to celebrate the last day of school. She watches movies, ate pizza and popcorn, played make-up and stayed up way too late. I'm trying to start the summer off sleep deprived. She had fun!

The Pet Store

Macee has been begging for a puppy, seriously begging and crying and screaming and crying and begging and begging for a puppy. Telly's answer is always "no, I hate dogs". Poor girl. She asked if we could go to the pet store today after school to look and see if there is a different pet she could get. She wants a hamster and Telly said that she could when she fills her bean jar. Not happy about that one and I'm hoping she forgets. Taggert was so funny looking at the animals. He started covering his eyes with both hands cause he was scared. I have a few pictures on my phone, but I can't get them off right now. I seriously was laughing at the poor kid. He was looking at the cute little birds that were in a cage and started crying and covering his eyes. Neither of my boys like animals very much.

Happy Memorial Day!

This is a BIG holiday around here... we celebrated with Dutch Oven potatoes with the Longhursts (well, some of the them). Telly went fishing with my dad and Macee this morning and caught 14 fish!! They had to throw back 4 of them. Macee even caught 2 of them "all by herself"as she puts it. Telly says she really did. She felt a tug on her pole and started reeling it in. She kept saying " you get in here you little sucker". She's quite the fisher girl.

My parents are camping for the weekend in Hyrum with their square dancing group. We went out to visit and walked over to the water to throw some rocks. Griff and Tagg were a little wet coming home. Griff always has to push the boundaries, just a little. Imagine that, right? I started thinking about his future Scout Leaders and him at Scout Camp and I had to chuckle a little.

Lagoon Kind of a Saturday

We used the kids Christmas and birthday money to buy season passes to Lagoon earlier this Spring. So, we headed down today for a little Lagoon fun. I'm surprised I could talk Telly into going (I didn't Macee did). We had a funny moment when Macee wasn't tall enough to ride a ride alone and that meant 3 kids needing 3 adults to ride with them, but we only had 2 and no one could even sit out and be alone in line without one of us being with them. We are so blessed, right? At the end, we let the kids get soaking wet in the shooting fountains. They were drenched. Even their socks we dripping wet. They had fun and got a rinse off.

I was planning on having a work outside with the weeds and a second coat of paint on the front door day, but I got a better offer. Melanie & Mike & their cute girls were passing through town on their way to Bear Lake so I stopped some weeding pulling and met them at Einsteins. Always good to chat with old friends. Then I headed home and finished my todo list. Made for a much better day, right? I also spray painted my first window blinds and it was actually quite easy. Telly golfed in a golf tournament, but wasn't too happy with his score, but at least he went.

Happy Birthday Telly!

Just kidding! We went to dinner tonight with Paul and Denise for his birthday. We've tried several times before tonight to go, but that obviously didn't work out. It was a great night! Thank you guys!!

Telly is riding his dirt bike tonight for the first time in a long, long time. I was remembering today that a year ago I was back working at the hospital for a little bit. I really love that job, but I love my kids more, and I'm just getting to the point where I don't think about being there on a regular basis. This probably seams like a random topic. Telly was complaining that he never rode his bike last year and I think it's because I was working. He had fun, I love my day job and I'm lucky to be able to do it.

It's Tuesday night, with nowhere to go

Telly got released from YM's on Sunday. (I will be sending the counseling session bill to the ward). He's so sad to be leaving "the boys", but is excited to try something new. He's been in for almost 5 years, and has seriously loved it. He called himself the priest quorum mascot, meaning make sure everyone has fun while they are there. I think he succeeded. So that means for the first time, in a long time, it's a Tuesday night and we had nowhere to go. We're sure gonna miss those boys!

Front door painted.

I have been wanting to paint our front door for sooo long now. I finally got some paint and did a first coat tonight. Pictures to come.

I'm Back...

Had a few weeks off, now I'm ready to go again. Just goes to show how quickly you can get out of the habit of doing something.  We've had a busy few weeks including Macee's first ballet recital. She was so cute up there and she has loved taking ballet classes all year and has done a great job.

The Tree is Gone...

Our Christmas tree has finally been taking to the dump. It was "planted" in our flower bed all winter. It looked good while it was still green, then fell over when the snow wasn't there to hold it up anymore. Then last week we "planted" it in the neighbors yard. So funny. They woke up to a new dead tree in their yard. Now, finally it's gone. Only took us until May 1st. We are so on the ball.
