Notes

Lost of changes in our family, how do you count the ways... 1.Bryon got released from the Bishopric. 2.I got put in as YW President...Again. 3.Bryon started an EMT class 3 nights a week. 4. I had back surgery in August for one of 3 problems that have been plaguing me all year. 5.Rebekah turned 13. Because Bryon schedule upset and my upset, I am not able to work at night anymore.  I am opening the building at 4:30am 2 days a week.  I have a 30 minute commute most of the time.  So I have to leave my house at 4AM!! This means I am not able to be at the house when the kids wake up.  Luckily Bryon goes to work later those days so he gets everyone out the door. In order to keep in touch with the kids I do a few things when I am gone. 1. Call Rebekah to get her up.  I love the sleepy voice and moans when she answers the phone. 2. Usually call the boys at 7 depending on how busy I am. 3. Try to leave a note for the ones who can read. I came home at 9:30 ...

Fact

Alive.  Not necessarily well.  But Alive.  You would think with all this down time from surgery I would have blogged more.

Pics now. Text later. Dump Fire 2012

Must give credit because none of these shots are mine.   (Katie Gee)  Lyndee Wilkerson  (Lyndee again)  Love this shot because it shows all 3 choppers running in counterclockwise circles to the "pool" and back to the fire.  (Lyndee) the "pool" These last are from KSL stock photos.  You can see Utah Lake in the upper left of this shot.

Eclipse (the real kind)

Image
Everyone already knows about the Eclipse the other night.  Since another one isn't expected for 75 years, I made a effort to help the kids enjoy it.   Pinhole Viewer-FAIL!  We couldn't see anything of value. Then my friend Brooke posted on FB that they were using an X-ray.  Have one of those from Rebekah's arm break in 2001.  Even have it cutely scrapbooked.  You can see Ethen using the page below.  Anyway, look through the blackest part of the X-ray and Presto! We walked 2 houses away to look with the neighbors  And some kids forgot what we were actually doing!  I tired to take a pic through the X-ray and this is all I got. However, another friend got this! I am going to print and frame the bottom one to help the kids remember.  Maybe in 75 years, they will think "Hey!  My mom was pretty awesome!"

So in love with this boy! Just a few pics from recently.  What drinking problem?  Camera phone.  Bad quality and all you can still see his baby soft hair flapping in the wind. Bryon thinks its time to shave him....NOT!!  Stupify!  He lines up EVERYTHING.  Usually it is cars and trucks.  I found this the other day.  Organizing skills via his daddy! The kid has a hole.  He likes to make forts in his hole.  And scare people.  Like me.

It is always good to count your blessings. Especially when you have a day like today. So let the counting begin. 1)Car-glad I have one so I can take my kids wherever and go shopping when needed and to collect all the food, dirt, shoes, jackets, homework makeup games and toys the kids don't need right away. 2)Peace-Jack is really good in the shopping cart so I can take a long time with a big shopping list. 3)Coupons-We have saved a ton of money since discovering how to use them. 4)School-My kids go to a great one, so it was okay that I couldn't pull out all the stuff I wanted to use coupons on that the cashier didn't scan and repay for them because Sam was getting out of kindergarten. 5)Lunchables-so no lunch was actually prepared 6)Porch-Ours is a nice size so when I dropped the apples while unloading groceries only one of them made it to the end and fell in the dirt. 7)Friends-Mine and the kids. We all have great ones. Probably the only bright side to the day. 8)A job-...
