January Update
January 17-25
Sunday we went to church and them my brother Mike and his wife Rachel came over to see our new house. 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. I was preparing for young Womens because we were doing a murder mystery dinner. The kids loved it and it was a lot of fun. Noelle broke her glasses.Wednesday was slow because while I was excercising I pulled something in my leg so I was crawling up my stairs and not having a great day walking. Finally decided to go to the doctors. Decided to give me a tordal shot and sent me home with some nice drugs. Took Noelle to get new glasses and Aubrey had dance. Thursday Noelle did not feel well so she stayed home from school. I took Marks aunt Sandie shopping at the local Gluten free stores and to the new bakery in Kaysville. The bakery has awsome cupcakes and cookies.Friday spent the day preparing dinner for marks aunt and uncle. We had a great dinner and great conversation. Saturday spent the day with my friend Amy and my sister in law Brittany and Amy's friend becca and went to Desert Star playhouse to see a spoof on Twilight. We had a great time. Mark watched kids and helped Andrew do his science fair project.No progress on our house this week snowed every day and they could not get the crane here. Hopefully next week!
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!
