Since I always loved gymnastics,I wanted a little girl who would do it too. And she is a natural. Its so fun to watch her and see her get excited about doing something new. Heres some pictures and I will try and remember to video some today at class.

Woohoo I got Breaking dawn!! I went last night at midnight with Kessa and we got it. Iam reading all day today. Someday I will post about our vacation to Carlsbad........

Im posting because Im sick of the ninja parade. Mark thought that was really funny. So girls camp was a great experience for me. All the girls bonded with each other and their leaders. It was nice to have some quiet meditation. Thanks to my wonderful mother in law to come and help with the kids. So school is quickly approaching and I cant believe summer is over already. I thought I would never survive but it has been fun because we have been really busy.I guess I need to post some summertime pictures. I will for sure post some of california.We are going to Batman Imax this weekend so we are excited! And then sushi with a bunch of friends. Its just go go go around here. But I love it!

Best Parade Ever!

Little slow

Gosh I have been back for a week and havent blogged my trip of a lifetime.Well I guess not a lifetime because we are doing it every year.(sorry Mark) I went to San Francisco with my 7 wonderful friends. I have known these girls for along time. I still remember meeting them,It started with Carrie in kindergarten. Alli and I used to do gymnastics together,Kets, Rachel and Melinda went to Macarthur with me and same ward(Ketsy remember that halloween picture of us,you were an old lady with rollers or something) then I met Linds in 7th grade, she was the blonde "franklin" girl that lived down the ditch from my house,and last but not least was Raquel. I met Raquel for the first time sophomore year when everyone piles into a mini van after school to hitch a ride home. I think it was Chas's car. Correct me if Im wrong,you probably dont remember. You were seriously annoyed by all us cackling girls but secretly wanted to join. Just look at you now!! What would we do without your serious make up skills.Wow Im lucky to know all these wonderful girls. WE had so much fun. But my favorite was conversing with all the random strangers that felt the need to talk to us.and when Lindsay flagged down a guy and girl in a land Rover to hitch a ride to Ghirardelli so we wouldnt miss our sundaes. yes we fit eleven people in a land rover. it was hilarious heres the picture for proof. We rented bikes and went across the bridge. half rode on the pedestrian side so we continually got yelled at so we continued to ring our little bike bells in their ears!!That was a good time. We went to china town and pier 39 where Ketsy spotted Katie Couric and said "welcome to San Francisco" she was truely star struck! Hahahaah Love ya Kets! We did Kareoke of course with Dancing Queen and it was a wonderful trip. I came home to a completely in tack home with no dishes in the sink. That was great too. Mark did an awesome job he is definitely #1 daddy.Especially because I am leaving this week for girls camp. But we are flying his mom here to help out so he will be off the hook a little. I forgot to mention what a trooper Melinda was, she being 8 months prego and all. She never complained she was great.

Summer so far

Well we have survived 2 weeks of summer and it has been fun.Yesterday we saw Kung fu panda. It was cute but Olivia lost interest after a while.We have been swimming and playing like crazy. Heres some fun pictures. The first one was in the morning Owen went to wake up Olivia and layed in bed with her it was so cute. Has anyone else been suckered into buying these blankets off the side of the road??? Oh just me, well they are super soft and we got 3 for a pretty good deal. We got Caden a pirates one to go with his room. Another picture is what my little creative Caden came up with, he built a little town out of food from the pantry. Too funny.He has a beautiful mind. He also wanted to take some pictures, so mommy is actually in front of the camera. I love these little monkeys!

I forgot to post these a while ago. This was Cadens note to the tooth fairy,hilarious!! And Olivias preschool graduation. She sang some songs and it was really cute. We love Mrs. Nancy and will be back with her next year. So I had my big 10 year reunion this weekend and it was fun. Ketsy did a wonderful job. It blows my mind that people I went to school with are doctors and lawyers. It was interesting to see people,I mean it was "neat". I love my girlfriends and we had fun and loved that our husbands enjoyed talking to each other. Has anyone else heard that song from Juno on a commercial on t.v.????Weird.......

"O" Boy

This is Owens new obsession.Sitting in this spot to help mommy cook anything. This is where I stand everyday for a majority of the day making 3 meals for 3 munchkins. And Owen says "help" because he loves to sit on the counter. He is funny.

Olivias dance picture

Our Rock Star

Here's Caden playing "Sabotage" on Rockband. He has recently moved up to playing at the "hard" difficulty. At least the Ensign is in the background right??

Too fast

My little puppy is 18 months and going to nursery. I cant believe it. Those poor nursery leaders. He cries almost the whole time. I stand in the hall and hear him crying "mamamama" its sad.He will get over it soon hopefully. This picture with him in his pjs was so cute, he looks like a little warrior.His stomach is so big and hard he could knock anyone over:)He was a big pill yesterday and Daddy had enough of it. He does this little cry whinny noise when he doesnt get something and it is ear piercing.Well we have all had the stomach flu so maybe now we can get on with life and have a great summer with nooo sickness. Im excited for girls camp in july and my girlfriends trip in june woohoo!!That reminds me , we saw Baby Mama and it was flippin hilarious. We both were laughing constantly.Friday was a sad day for Mark. He sold his beloved truck:( I dont know what it is but we can sell cars.Just a couple of weeks on craigs list and it sold.Or maybe we have really good taste in cars and everyone wants them:) Anyways we decided that we dont need two new gas guzzelers and he can just drive a car off the lot for a while. Im taking bets how long it will last.Only 3and a half months until Gma and Gpa come home yea!!! Im dreading the month of june for my kids Ive got to get them in something fun or I will go crazy. Im anxious to start swimming though!!

Serious death bed

Holy cow I was hit hard with the stomach flu on saturday. I seriously wanted to die it was so bad.I dont think I have been this sick in years. I was having flashbacks of the kidney operation it was that bad. Thank goodness it was on the weekend so Mark was around. I had a few hours by myself and the whole house was trashed,I could not get out of bed and Owen would stand there and cry at me everytime I laid back down. It was sad.All night my body ached so bad I couldnt sleep. Sunday I just laid around while Mark took care of the kids.He was a good sport about it but I could tell it was getting to him by bedtime:) How will he survive with me gone at girls camp??? Well today I feel a little less like dying and more capable of walking around without my head exploding.Im thankful for two things my sweet Mark and that Olivia knows how to play Barbie.com!!

Okay Iam in a much better mood today. Hormones are a bad bad thing. So I had Bunko two weeks in a row because I subbed for one. And it was so fun. But the other night for my own I had the worst headache and was so desperate to enjoy myself that it wasnt that great.I thought I might be getting what Owen has but no(thank goodness) it was just from my day of cleaning up throw up that made me ill!! This poor baby has been miserable. Mark swears he has lost 10 pounds. He has thrown up off and on since sunday or maybe saturday I cant remember. Finally got him on evil antibiotics and we will see if things clear up. I need to get some more colloidal silver and give that to him. Caden had his first two t-ball games. So funny. I didnt realize it was such a joke. I mean yea they are 6 years old but they dont keep score????? I dont know what I was expecting from these little guys I guess Im ridiculous. Oh well. Im going to put them in gymnastics this summer so that will be fun.Olivia will love it Im sure:)Hooray for Grandma Connie sleepovers,Caden and Olivia are going there on friday. It will be just the three of us for the night. Some times on Marks day off we go out to breakfast just us and Owen and it is so fun. Not that I dont love and cherish my other missing children its just fun to pay attention to the baby and only him. I now truely understand what it means to be the spoiled baby in the family.
