Rain Rain go away come again another day!

We are sick of wet weather, even though we really haven't had that much. We want the sun shine back. It does make the yard look nice though. We had a fun family home evening tonight. We made chef hats (white paper in a circle, then tape a grocery bag to the inside) then we made faith cookies. Each ingredient we put in Laurie had to tell us something she could do to increase her faith. Then we put our faith to the test and cooked them in the oven. Laurie really got a kick out of it. Do you have any fun family hom evening ideas to do with little kids???

Likes to Run
Cept the 2 mile, its no fun
She is very speedy
For Candy she's greedy
Made a promise not to kiss
Broke it, where's our cookie dish?

Messy Jessy
Likes to cry
When 4-14's go bye bye
Loves to play with her friends
Parties all night with no ends
Messy Jessy
I love you
Except that you left your stinky shoe

Ode to Cherice

Cherice Cherice not my niece
But my sister
She is kind and a little sinister
She runs very fast
And has never been last
She kisses the boys
And kills them with poise
She is best at the wii
I wish I could see
Her soon
Good night moon
Good night stars
This is your sister from Mars

I love Cherice!!!!!
Don't ya'll

I HATE CLEANING UP YUCKY STUFF!

Well on Weds of this week. Jack awoke at 1:00 in the morning and proceded to throw up 4 times all over his bed, his bumber, his crib, him, me, my clothes, my bed, my covers, and the floor. The next morning I spent about 1 hour cleaning and still have some blankets to wash. Then Thurs. I was cooking some dried beans and trusted my dad that I could put two bags in my crockpot. Have you ever had burned black bean on your CEILING?? Well it wasn't quite that bad, but it was all over the floor, the counter, the walls, and inside the metal pan in the crock pot . Again it took me about an hour to clean it up. Next time I just buy canned beans right??? So I for sure thought I was done cleaning, then Jack awoke this morning will a diaper from heck and it was all in his hair and all over his bed and stuffed animals, and everything. So I guess this is just part of the deal, but I do think I have served my sentence for atleast a while don't ya think??? All in good spirits though. I read a pretty good book called the PEACEGIVER by James Ferrell I recommend it to everyone. It takes a little concentration, but I enjoyed it.

Wow!! Time is flying by!! It amazing how fast it flies when your having fun!! Jack and Laurie keep my days really fun. They are always doing things that make me laugh. Tonight Jack was spinning in circles and falling down and Laurie was helping me with our Garden and she got some of last years peas (I gave them to her to keep her busy) then next thing I know she was walking all over poking her finger in the ground and putting a seed in then covering it up. I am going to have peas everywhere. I am really sad that my watermelons and catalopes dies especially because I just bought them, but I was too early so in a few weeks I will try again. Everything else is looking good. I love gardening!!! Tomorrow I have a basketball game. Wish me luck!

Left in the Dust

Well all my friends are officially pregnant!! I have nobody left to run with??? Bummer!! I was thinking maybe I should just hurry up and get pregnant and I wouldn't be too far behind, then I thought--wait I would have 3 then I would be stuck--unless I could find a 3 kid jogger. Being able to run is my sanity! I guess I could get my bum out of bed before Jeff left. Anyway hopefully none of my friends figure out my blogger address because some of their pregnancy are supposed to be surprizes. But I think my family is the only ones who know unless they stumbled upon it.

Monday, Monday

Having Jeff in school I really learn to hate mondays!!! It means daddy has to leave us again, its been nice though because the last two weekends Jeff has had Friday off too!! But now is crunch time for dental school. He only has one month left then he will have 3 weeks off! Then he goes for 6 weeks and has 5 weeks off. Conference was very unlifting. I especially liked the talk by Elder Ballard, it gave me motivation and hope!! Tomorrow we are having a gardening class. It should be fun.

Sorry I haven't written lately. I have been busy or atleast it seems so. Today me Laurie and Jack went to the park and went for a hike, we found a turtle and we brought it home, but then Jeff told me it was bad so we had to go take him back. It was fun to have a pet for a little while and Laurie loved him! It was a good thing we put him back though because he probably would have died anyway. My garden is looking really good. Everything is up!!! I just hope the 6 foot fence my dad built around it can keep those crazy deer out! If not I am going to have a freezer full of deer meat. Jeff's birthday is SUNDAY, he will be 29. That sounds old, but 30 sounds worse so I am letting him off the hook this year. I am excited to listen to conference. Hopefully my kids behave. It stinks because here I either have to listen on my computer or go to the church. Congrats to Jessie (qualified for state in the mile with a 5:16 and the 800 with a 2:20) and Cherice who ran an awesome P.R. in the 2 mile (12:17) I miss running track!! Tomorrow I am going to the track to run, maybe that will fill my need to be competing again. I really never thought I'd miss it, but when I here how exciting the track meets are I wish I could be there. Maybe not to compete, maybe I'd be okay if I just watched! WEll I think I am rambling now so I will sign out
