What a fun weekend. From school parties, to friend parties, trunk-or-treat, neighborhood carnival, and then actual Halloween where we passed out candy at Aunt Sandy and Uncle Don's, I have to say we partied and ate way to much candy, but it is always so fun! Till next year my little spooks!

Some day's feel like CRAP

OK, so I'm a little ungrateful today and feel the need to rant, so here goes...

I've got a pile of laundry on my couch sky high to fold and put away. Sad thing is I had a pile there yesterday the same size. Laundy is like grounds hog day I swear.

My piano leg falls off

Allies shelf fell off her wall around 2am and fell on her while she was in dream land. It was sad.

My bathroom garbage had mold growing in it.

I have a kitchen island that has been sitting in my living room for over a week

Half of my kitchen is spread out all over my counters because my island is sitting in my living room.

Did I mention we had a flood two months ago? Hence the island in my living room that needs to go live at the dump.

My kids love their dad more than me.

I am on strike and will not ask (nag) my children (and hubs) to get their chores done around the house.

I think I need a life coach to follow me around and tell me how to handle L- I- F- E.

Oh, wait that would be prayer and scripture, so get on the ball already.

My batroom smells weird.

My dogs smear up my windows.

I have to recycle over 500 capri-sun pouches, which means taking out the straws, and squeezing out the juice.

Heading Back

Well, they are all back. I always have mixed emotions about the first day of school. They really were ready to go. I feel everyone needs their own space and time to be themselves, have their own accomplishments, friends and activities. My mixed emotions come from wondering if I made their summer fun. Did we had enough beachy experiences, if I yelled to much, did we eat too many otterpops, was the video gaming out of control, did I go to Brimhall pool enough that my pass was well worth the money???? Well, I think all of the above happened, I just hope it was a good one for them. This year was hard, mostly because I know it's my last with a "baby" at home. I'm going to soak up as much as I can of this faze of my life with my baby and little buddy. The kids are just having the greatest time at school. It makes me happy to see that they are growing up to be well rounded people and looking forward to the challenges ahead. I love you guys and am so blessed to have some really AWESOME kiddos!

Bad Finger

Marcie: Mom, never hold up your middle finger.

Mom: Why?

Marcie: Because if you do you can't live with Heavenly Father and Jesus.

How the heck does she know the middle finger is bad anyway? I think my baby has been educated by some older "friends" ( or shall I say Jaden, Allie, and hopefully not Graham, he's too young for this info. as well). But I have to say, they did a good job at teaching. One less thing I have explain.

To my future Daughter-in-law...don't be scared, he's only 6. Or should I say-Darren don't take advice from your 6 year old son!!!!!

Graham: Dad, you should mess up your hair. You could get the LADIES.


Dad: I already have a LADY. It's mom


Graham: Ya, but you could get more ladies at work.


OK, let's hope and PRAY he dosen't mess up his hair when he's married.

Huntington 2010

I have to say, there is nothing better than a vacation with your family in sunny CA!!! We had just the most awesome time this summer. We stayed with Stacey and Mark and it was a swinging party. It was so much stinkin fun. Now Darren is obsessed with getting up on the board, so we will most likely be bombarding the Olsen's again too soon...but I can't wait!

Allie, Molly, and Marcie

Surf's Up!

J caught his first wave with the help of Uncle Mark.

Now he thinks he's a bonofied surfer worthy to hang with the Huntington wetsuit crowd.

It WAS pretty awesome!
