Young Women in Excellence

We did adventures in excellecnce for our theme.
6 1/2 hours total for set up the event and take down. That was a bit long, but everything turned out great.

Halloween 2009

We went cheapo this year and it was funny that the kids were so exicted. Apparently a hobo has to be angry at something.Pardon the diaper. It was early in the morning before school, but Sam was a fireman.

Student of the Month

From Mr. Runolfson this time.

Poop and chalk art

Okay this one is just because he is cute. Mom and Dad filled up the truck with compost when they went to the dump and brought it out. I was super sick this day so I didn't get to help. They unloaded it all.

We finally had to close the garage because the Eagle Mountain wind was bringing too much of it inside.

While I was watching I discovered some chalk art that Ethen and Sam had done earlier in the day. It was cute to see all their drawings

Until I saw this one. What the HECK!!!

Apparently Sam ate a dinosaur and had to get rid of it.

Why would I be worried????

PEACHES

The last day of Summer type weather. The kids hung out in the semi-heat while Mom and I worked like crazy doing peaches.

This was my last chance to have her help me before she left and there was no way I was going without for 18 months. Sam was an awesome help. He had to pour the peaches in the jars and got mad if you didn't let him.

Rebekah helped a bit when she got home then went to the out doors to play.

Count Down Begins

I went to the OB today and had my parents watch Sam. As I was driving away, I realized this is the last time they will babysit for me until they get home. I had a hard time with the tears. Bryon was no help. Luckily I texted a few of my peeps and they made me feel better.

With only 6 days left, I am trying hard not to think much about more than the logistics of getting them on the plane. Everything else is a bit too hard.
