Breaking Dawn

So as the pathetic book reader that I am, I pre-ordered breaking dawn from walmart. It was half off so I thought it would be ok. It says its suppose to come to me on the 2nd, but I dont know if it will. I still hope though. And it said that shipping was free but I am not sure if it really is cause its being shipped straight to me. But I am sooooooo excited for Breaking Dawn!!

Twilight

So I tried to stay away from the twilight saga because I wanted to be different and I new I would get hooked. SO what do I do I pick up a twilight book and start reading! Now I am addicted!! Dang it.

Humility

Don't you hate when you are put in your place with your scripture study? I just opened my scriptures randomly to read to my children. Well, just previously someone had really made me frustrated and I have been working on this for sometime. It is an on going thing. Well, when I opened up it was 2nd Nephi. It is Nephi's psalm as I like to call it. It made me feel so much better but it also brought me to my knees. I have been working hard everyday to not be frustrated with this person ever since I read this. I have learned many lessons in patience. I hope I am able to over come this and I will always remember this experience.

Independence Day

This morning we went to our ward building for a 4th of July breakfast. Spencer was in charge of cooking so we had to go early. He was the man that cooked the food on a grill. Since he was doing that I helped set up the tables and chairs. The kids tried helping. They are picking up on that now and I am excited. The food was great! Brother Coullier said he was happy not to see any hair in his food referring to Spencer being bald. We had Brother George talk about patriotism and that was a good talk and then we ate. It was simple yet fun and the food was delicious. The table center pieces were adorable. They had bendy straws that were decorated as sparklers. All the kids loved it. After Spencer left to work, Kent and Valerie went over to Carlos and Yvettes pool and invited the kids and I over to eat swim. Kent BBQed steak, burgers and hot dogs. They had all sorts of yummy sides. It was fun. Valerie is always fun to talk with. The kids had fun swimming with their kids. Then a monsoon hit and everything started blowing away. The kids ate and we had to take off back home because it was passed their bed time. It ened with fireworks from Mesquite High and from Mesa Community College. They were good. Thank you to our Vets and our Troops to making this Country what it is today!

Irrigation Play

About two weeks ago we actually got a good head of water for irrigation. Crystal Mabb came over with her sons Hunter and Chandler to play. Well, after a while Chandler was quiet so we looked and when we went outside we found him swimming in the irrigation. He had a ball that he kept throwing and swimming after. It was soooo funny we had to take pictures. It was hard to be mad at him for getting into cause it was so cute.

Connor's Summer Wrestling Camp 2008

Connor went to Mesquite High School for a summer wrestling camp. He had fun for the most part. His coaches were from Mesquite High and really helpful. They were good with the kids. Connor won three 2nd place ribbons. He wasn't happy because he couldn't have a blue one. Blue was for first place and it broke his heart that he couldn't get a blue one. So he said with the league he is going to try to win blue.

A Cooler Weekend

This weekend we went up to Flagstaff for my step dad's family reunion. It was pretty awesome. His family is cool. They talk to everybody and anybody. We got to stay at a Day's Inn in town while the reunion was at a campsite. Our hotel gave us free waffles, ceral, orange juice, toast, muffins and donuts for breakfast. The waffles were belgian waffles. They were awesome. Anyway, we drove up in my van Friday. It was my mom, me, Richelle (my youngest sister), my step brother Seth and my kids. Connor and Rylee made friends. There were tons of kids for them to play with which also meant more the trouble they could get into but it was fun for them. Connor made a girl friend named savanna. She had big brown eyes and light brown hair. She was his age and the cutest thing. Rylee met a little boy her age named Andrew and they were inseparable. He was blonde with big blue eyes. We will going to his birthday party this weekend. The kids can't wait. It was a lot more fun for the kids than I thought it would be. They also has a fun time attacking Grandpa Mike.
