Busy Saturday!

OUR ACCOMPLISHEMENTS FOR THE DAY:

JENNY- MOWED LAWN (believe me this is quite a task. Our grass was over a foot long...it was the first time mowing it since we got in the sod. I have not mowed a lawn in a VERY long time...so I was proud of my accomplisment, despite the 12 bags full of grass, sore arms and legs (we have a push mower), stinky body and green hands.)

JENNY AGAIN- SHOPPING AT HOME DEPOT/WALMART- I bought a bunch of "things" for our lawn/garden with the kids in tow....(edger, hose, mulch, extension cord, flowers,..blah blah blah)

JENNY AGAIN-PLANTED FLOWERS!-

ADAM- PUT TOGETHER A SWING SET- Adam put together Odessa and Addison's first swing set. For for hours Adam labored and sweated and cussed his way through the endless directions. The result was worth it though!

ODESSA- PLAYED on her new swing set

ADDISON- POOPED!!! (he didn't yesterday)

Addison's blessing!

I forgot to post pictures of Addison's blessing on May 2, 2009....well okay I didn't forget to post them, I just didn't because I did not have this blog started at the time.

Here are few pictures from that day.

Sunday

Last night I mentioned to Adam that I was excited to go to church at our own ward.....but at 2:00 am....Odessa got sick and I was stuck home with the kids today! The poor little girl threw up about five times, and is just miserable...she is now holding down sprite!(YEAH!)

Addison has been fussy today, which makes me think he is coming down with something too! :( My poor kids!

Adam is gone for the week....traveling for another volleyball camp in Green River WY.

I am not looking forward to having him gone, but I AM looking forward to having a bed all to myself and total control of the remote!

Idaho Falls!

We are in Idaho Falls now! Adam is doing a camp in Black Foot, which is about thirty minutes from here. We are spending the week with some family up here. (My first husbands family lives here) Odessa and Addison are enjoying be loved and cuddled...and did I mention SPOILED.....and I am enjoying just having the help with the kids! WE only get up here about 2-3 times a year...so we take full advantage of the time up here. I am lucky to have so many "parents" that love me and my family.---and I am happy that I remain close to them all!

Blogging!

This is my first real attempt at blogging! I have done some other online journaling, but I have yet to really get into this....so here goes!

Today we left Cedar City and hit the road for our two weeks worth of travel....We are going with Adam as he does his volleyball camps! Our first stop is good old Idaho Falls! Now, I used to live there, and altough I love my relatives there, I do not miss the city! It is too cold, and too boring. We are then coming back to Utah, where we will spend a week with Adams parents down in Mapleton!

We had a chance to go the open house of the Day Break Temple.....It was really pretty! Odessa did such a great job! She was so reverant and respectful!....Adam did a good job too, and didn't break anything (besides his zipper!- Adams zipper on his slacks broke about five minutes before we were to go to the open house...he held his fly closed with a few saftey pins...hehe! He was not a happy camper!)

Our day ended with having KFC with my father, and buying Adam a new pair of slacks....ones with a working zipper!
