Week O' Fun

This week was a fun one. Travis had a hunting trip planned and was out of town for a few days, so like tradition, Marie came up while he was gone and we played. I love it when she is here, as do my kids, she makes us laugh!

We went out on Thursday evening with Tricia and her girls and let the kids play at Carl's Jr. while we sat around and chatted. Gwendalin was exhausted (due to no nap) and was crying at the drop of a hat. At one point she may have had reason because her lip was bleeding. I had my camera, so I captured it on film. :) She has definitely been an emotional female the past weeks.


My birthday was on the 4th so we ventured out with the kids to have a picnic. I think we may have picked possibly the coldest day to go...but it was still fun. The kids packed their lunch boxes and felt ever so grown up. I indulged myself( or should I say, Travis indulged me - that will be his present to me.:)) by getting my hair done (thanks to Marie watching my kids) and I bought a French Silk pie to celebrate the occasion. It was so so good. We also ventured to the store and bought some fabric for a blanket and some new sleepers for Ty. It was a successful day.







Marie's birthday was on the 5th so we went out to dinner (Texas Roadhouse)...yum! Tricia was able to come with us and we spent most of the evening brainstorming boy names....I've got a nice list to discuss with Travis upon his arrival home...we'll see if our efforts were successful. :)


Today we had lunch between conference sessions with my parents and Tricia and her girls. It is so fun to have them so close. I am anxious for them to embark on this new mission adventure, but definitely sad to have them go...we will miss them so much. I think the kids will even more. The highlight of the afternoon was seeing/playing with their new home (trailer) . The kids thought it was fantastic and are anxious to go camping. I think it will suit them well for their living arrangements while they are gone.


This is just a picture of Tyler asleep (yes, that is the edge of my bed) watching The Sandlot this week. He is a darling- feet crossed and all. :)


I loved conference, the bits that I was able to catch with my full attention. What a wonderful gospel we have. I am grateful that Christ stands at its head and that with all the change that takes place, there is still personal revelation that the mantle is with the right person.
