She's gone

Summer moved today and things won't be the same. I am going to miss her.

Life

Well, I can say that I am soo glad that this week is over. I have been on an emotional roller coaster all week. Katelyn and Jessica started school on Monday and that is still hard for me. No matter how old my kids get I hate sending them off to school that first day. I think it is because I can't be there to protect them from all the imaginary things that I think are going to happen to them. I will be glad when I don't have to do this anymore.

It has also been a crappy work week. Let me just say that in these ecomomic times I am so grateful to have a job, but I hate that a dear friend will be losing his. The owner of the company had a meeting with all of us and told us that they would not be continuing part of our work, so two of the people will be losing their jobs. This sucks!!!! They both have families to support and in these times of unemployment, jobs are hard to come by. I pray that everything will work out for them.

On a more positive note, Jeff's sister came out for a visit from Tennessee last week. It was so good to see her. She has the cutest little grandson and the two of them came out to our house last Saturday and spent the day with us. Then we got to go to dinner with her, my niece Samantha and baby Colby on Monday. We went to Famous Dave's BBQ. I have to say that this was the best barbequed food I have eaten since I left Kansas. We finished off the weekend with a backyard BBQ at Samantha's grandparents house. It was so much fun. It was nice to spend time with her family and of course the food was great as always. I will miss you Michelle, come back soon.

So here it is Saturday again and I have tons of stuff to do that probably won't get done, but I can say I tried!!!! So that is all for now, until next time, Ciao

It's official

It's official, I'm gettting old. This week I took Katelyn and Jessica to register for school. I can't believe that my babies are in high school and junior high. Even though this is the second year for both of them it is hard to deal with the fact that they are growing up. Katelyn is going to be in 10th grade and will be able to drive when summer comes around again. Look out everyone, I hope that she doesn't develop road rage. Jessica is in 8th grade this year which means that next year she will be in high school, what a ride that will be. She hates school now, how am I going to get her to go to high school every day.

Let's start with Lagoon

Well, we finally made it to Lagoon this year. I am not a big fan but I went with the kids this year mostly in part because we went with Annette,Michelle,her husband Zach,Heidi,her husband Cheyo,and Zack.Zack's friend Tyson and his girlfriend Chelsea went too, also Shelby and Star went with us so that Katelyn and Jessica had someone their age to hang out with. We spent the entire day there and it was fun but so hot! I think that we all got a little bit of heat exhaustion that day because we were all so tired or not feeling well this week.

Next came our visit with Danny and the boys. Danny and Lissa came up from Arizona for Danny's family reunion. They spent a few days in Idaho with Lissa's family and then came to Utah to see everyone here. We met Danny for dinner at Rumbi's Island Grill. It was so yummy! Camden and Jace came with us too and Camden is so shy. I felt bad for him because he hasn't seen any of us since he was born and so he didn't really know who we were. He just wanted to be with his Dad most of the time, but he is such a cutie and I'm sure as he gets older he will understand who we are and that it is okay. Jace has such a sweet personality and is a really good baby. He slept and played and ate and was just a cutie. After dinner we went walking around the Gateway. I wanted to find the lady that does the caricatures but she wasn't there. instead we ended up at Build-A-Bear. They have a sale going on right now so we decided that now would be the time to get Jace one. (We gave Camden one for his first birthday). We made Jace a dog and dressed it in Jazz outfit. Camden thought that was so cool that there was a basketball with it. He just wanted to play with the ball and was throwing it all over the place. We also made one for MyKayeleigh, hers is a monkey and they dressed her in a little tie-dyed outfit. It is way cute too. I let Katelyn, Jessica and Alex get one too since I had promised them one when we got Camden and then I never took them back. Then Danny took the girls and bought them a shirt at the Aeropostle store. By the time we were through there Camden was done for the day. His schedule is all screwed up with this trip and he wouldn't take a nap so he was wiped out. We meet back up with Lissa and her friend and said goodbye. I hope that it is not 2 years before we see them again.

Friday I went to the doctor with Summer. I wanted to hear my granddaughter's heartbeat. It was awesome!!!!!!! I am so excited for MyKayeleigh to be born. Summer is 28 weeks now so we still have a ways to go, but we also have a lot to do before she gets here so I am sure that the time will fly by. After the doctor, Summer and I spent the day together just hanging out. We went to lunch and went to Taipan Trading Company.

Today, Danny is hosting a golf clinic and tournament. He wanted to do something with his family other than the family reunion. Danny has a rather large family (9 brothers and sisters). Since Danny is an assistant golf pro and Wayne (Stefanie's Dad) loves to golf they usually get together whenever they can and do the golfing thing. So Steven is going to go to the tournament today, his uncle and some friends are going to. I hope that they have a good time. I would go if I golfed but I don't so I am going to sit this one out. I would like to see Danny's Mom but she isn't going to be there either so not much sense in going for that.

I hope to have pictures soon to post. I really need to get my own camera and stop depending on others to take the pictures for me. Well, I think that is about all for now,Ciao!!!
