I love Spring!!

Today it was 80 degrees! I went running and it was hot! We went and picked up some flowers and some vegetables to plant in our new deer proof garden! (Thanks to DAD) I have planted radishes, spinach, lettuce, and peas. I have ready to plant tomatoes, watermelon, peppers, strawberries, and cataloupe. YUMMY!! Are you guys going to plant gardens!!! It is fun, I wish I could plant enough of something to can or something. I have also started using the wheat that I have in my food storage. We are trying to be more healthy. Got any good recipes for wheat and healthy stuff.

Well my family is gone and I'm so sad!! We had so much fun. And wait until you see the video I have of mom and dad playing tennis and doing Dance Dance Revolution! Thanks to Jessie and Cherice they cleaned out my junk room and it looks great!! What nice sisters. I am missing them already! I can't wait for the rest of my family (Cara, Shalee, Granny) to make it out to see me. We are also looking for tickets this summer so everybody check for me for the end of July.

No Nap!

Laurie is being a pill today. She refused to take and nap and with all the commotion last night, I could have used one. Everytime Jeff leaves for the night my kids somehow decide they can throw-up all over me! Shalee what training program are you using to run your marathon again? Jayni are you running?? I would love to find a marathon around here, I don't think I'll make it to the Ogden one.

I need some ideas of what to do when Jessie and Cherice and Mom and Dad are here. The weather is going to be cold and raining almost the whole time. Atleast thats what the 15-day Forecast shows, but maybe it's wrong. What are all ya'll doing for Easter??

AHHHH! What a Day! March 7,08

We decided to go the the D.C. temple today, but we didn't leave until 12:30 in the afternoon and what a mistake that was! It took us 3 and a half hours to get up there and we are just now getting back and it's 11:00 p.m. That's a 10 and a half hour trip. The kids did pretty well, just a few moments of panic really they did better than me. I HATE traffic, after so long I just wanted to jump out. But the temple was nice and peaceful. I don't think we will do this trip again though, next time we are leaving earlier, leaving our kids, and going to Raliegh NC instead. Anyway enough ranting but it was a long long long long day. Take advantage of a temple when it's so close.

I have come up with a way to rate my day to see if I did everything I wanted to do. I start with my catagories
self
kids
husband
exercise\food
spiritual
house
service
Then I give myself a rating from -5 to 5 in each. -5 is not only do nothing, but something bad and 5 is spent all day doing something. I give myself a 0 for doing average and count my self lucky if I get over 1. My goal is to try to get myself to balance these things among others. I think a great day would be to have all 1 and 2's because you couldn't ever get all 5's atleast not me. So far today goes, self 1, kid 2, husband 0, exercise 3-, spiritual -3, house, -1, service, -1. But there is still time in the day to finish these!!!
I think you should send me a post and rate your day.

We're givin it a Try!

Well we are going to give it a try, thanks to a few friends and family encouragement.
We have had a wonderful Monday. We got to see our friends new baby and we went running. Cara and Shalee are trying to talk me into flying home to run a marathon, but tickets are too much money, but it would be fun to train and run. We are so excited not to have sick kids anymore. It really stinks to be stuck in the house for a week with sick kids. We have been having unseasonably warm weather and it's awesome.
