DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME!

So BYU had a BI this weekend and David didn't know what to do with himself. So instead of going to Park City to look at the leaves and go for a hike he decides to RUIN OUR PATIO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Yes everyone he painted the patio. I tried to fix it but I still think it looks awful and of course he thinks it looks great. So I'm hoping once we get en extremely large patio set you won't be able to see all of the streaks. Its wet in the picture cuz I washed it down with a hose.
And here's the pictures of the backyard Dad. UGH! Now you can see why I would never want to post these! I think its funny how the weeds are changing colors! So the ares we haven't finished yet picture gardens and a basketball court. (In 20 years!) UGH! I'm so embarrassed I'm posting these pictures!

Zoo

Took the kids to the zoo today. Addie was the only one who wanted her picture taken.

More back yard pictures & Primary Program

Sorry everyone! More pictures of the backyard, but my parents won't see my yard until winter. Also the primary program was today and the girls did great! This was my 4th time having to do the program since I have been in Primary for a century in a half! But this time I made David sit on the stand.

LOOK WHAT I DID!

I got this idea off of Little Window Shop. It took me an hour to make, but hanging up is a different story! I glue-gunned fabric to 11x14 canvas and glued my pictures on the rest.

LAGOON!

I swear I was just at Disneyland 2 weeks ago! David had his work party at Lagoon this year. The kids had a great time. Of course Austin was a stinker and Dave took him home early (or was it because BYU played today and he has to watch it LIVE! So we took 2 separate cars & had to pay for parking for 2 cars!! He is now watching the taped version. Sometimes I'll hear him scream "YES!" when they score a touch down that he already knew they were going to score!) Anyways. So I stayed with the girls until 8pm (been there since 10am) yes I know, I am always over doing it. Since our great friends the Brammers are at AMX we hung out with them the whole time ( well they left at a normal time and we had to stay since my girls informed me we haven't been on all of the rides!) So we're done. Summertime is over!

First Day of School!

Since we were at Disneyland, Aubree missed her first day of school. (How lucky is that?!) Aubree is now in 2nd grade and her teacher is Mrs. Mehler who I have heard is the one to get. So I have my fingers crossed and hope for a better year. Aubree picked out her outfit all by herself this year! (Please keep that in mind!) Addie started preschool again this week and goes MWF for 2 hours now! YEAH! She wasn't thrilled about going so she didn't want to wear what she had bought for her first day (Typical Addie) she got the skirt right but put on one of her play shirts. Oh Well! (We were in Childrens Place for a whole hour while Addie tried to pick out her outfit. I was going to rip my eyeballs out!)

My New Job

So this is my new full time job! This is Lauren and I am now watching her M-F from 8am-5pm. So far its been pretty good. Her and Austin don't get along, but I make them take their naps at the same time so I can have a break. As long as I stick to a schedule its not so chaotic.

HANGING OUT WITH LONG LOST COUSINS

I hung out with my cousin's wife who is on my mom's side of the family. I haven't seen her in 5 years so it was great seeing her and her kids. We went to Thanksgiving Point and the kids had fun petting the animals. Then we go and get the kids some ice cream. All was fine until Austin dropped his ice cream and all hell broke loose! He threw himself on the ground and slammed his head onto the floor. ( This is what he usually does but most of the time its on carpet.) The sound alone was enough to make you sick! I immediately picked him up and he already had a bump the size of a golf ball! I am so glad Paula was there so I didn't have to go through that alone! I just wanted out of there! So we rushed everyone outside and then Addie starts throwing a fit because she wants to eat inside! Whatever............! (side note: I do feed Aubree I swear! Would you believe me if I told you that she was in the 95 percentile until she was 12 months?!?)

TURNING 38

So the Schwan man is at my house and he's trying to guess my age and thought I was in my late 30's!!! Are you kidding me!!! Here I am having a hard time turning 30 and now I have to worry about turning 40!!!
