Superbowl Sunday we went to church and since we are not big football fans we just watch it for fun. We had our own little family party and my kids had a blast!! Monday Noelle's orthodontist had a appreciation day and invited everyone to the Perry Egyptian Theather and he sponsered a free magic show and gave out glow sticks the kids thought it was really fun and Jonah kept asking how does he do that. Tuesday Aubrey's class had a 100 day party at school and I was so excited to help in her class for an hour. They made some fun projects and she had a great time. Friday the tax man came just hope he finds lots of money for us to get back from the government. It was free ride UTA day and so since Jonah LOVES TRAINS I took all of the kids on frontrunner from Clearfield to Slc and back Jonah was in heaven the whole time.My little kids spent the night at my sisters because the kids wanted to play and Noelle Mark and I watched the opening ceremony of the Olympics from Vancouver. We had hamburgers from Carls Jr it was a very enjoyable night. Saturday we spent trying to find things to do so we could stay out of the house so Mark could study. I am so glad he went back to school but it is really hard to entertain 5 kids every Saturday all alone!!

Andrew had Priesthood preview tonight I can't believe he will be old enough to get the priesthood in July. Were has the time gone. Monday the kids were out of school. Andrew really needed some new clothes so off we went to Savers to see if we could get some good deals. He found a bunch of new stuff for only 24 dollars. I am grateful for places that we can dress our kids nicely for a cheap amount. We have really learned to be frugal this year because of our building of our new house and trying to save every dime. We then went to my sister Heathers house to help her with her new blog. The kids played and had a great time. Tuesday my brother Chad's wife came up and brought there kids to play with mine for the day. We made homemade pizzas and the kids played.

January 2010 update

Week of January 24-31

Another busy week at our house Sunday we went to church and I had a 3 hour Young Womens meeting. We went and visited Mark's Aunt Suzette at a care center in Ogden she is still recovering from hip surgery. We also visited my parents and got a sleeping bag for Andrew to take on the Klondike derby next week. Love teaching Young Womens and will miss it when we move. Monday spent the day Visiting teaching and working out a problem I had with our insurance for our new house, had a nice quiet family home evening and then the kids decided they wanted to watch a movie called Skyridders for our activity. Tuesday is always crazy these days we had pack meeting for Matthew. Noelle had to stay late for a basketball game at the Junior High. Andrew had a merit badge class for scouts. I had to go to Young womens and we talked about New Years resolutions and had a planning meeting. Mark had his economics class. I am grateful to have good friends that are willing to serve and watch my kids when Marks dad cannot come and babysit. Wednesday was quiet and Noelle only had private viola lessons. I also worked on Andrew's Science fair board. Thursday Andrew woke up sick and really wanted to go to school to present his Science Fair project. I sent him for 1 hour he looked really nice and he wore a white shirt and a tie. Must have impressed the judges because he took 2nd place. I was so pround of him. He tested which cleaners would clean pennies the best. They set our trusses on our house today and I think we went down to the house 4 or 5 times. The kids thought the crane was really cool. Friday Mark and I were finally able to make it to the temple for the month and have a date afterwards. We went to Chilli's were my friend Paige works and it was a lot of fun. We also went tile searching at Home Depot. I am so glad Noelle is old enough and responsible enough to baby sit for more that 2 hours.
Satyrday I took Andrew to get his school pictures at Target because the school ones are so expensive. We went to the library had a pizza and an ice cream cone. Saturdays are a day that Mark needs to study for class so I take all of the kids out to do something for a couple of hours. Mark and I took Noelle to the New American Symphony concert at Weber state. Mark's sister Eileen is in it and her viola teacher. My mom watched the kids it was was a nice weekend. Mark stayed at home from church on Sunday he did not feel well. Aubrey gave a talk in primary I was so proud of her. This month has had its up and downs and we one month closer to having our new house done!
