I'm not very good at this

I'm not very good at blogging, I never know what to say so bare with me maybe I'll get better. there is one thing I wanted to share. I was going to do a blog about the funny things my little Isabelle has been saying lately but I have to write it down or I forget and havent been writing things down, but there is one... she just finished going potty and ran to me so excited, " mommy there is a mommy one and a baby one and a daddy one, i said great, as she is running back to the bathroom where Isaac is now going potty, and she yells at him "Isaac don't go potty on my mommy" she is really funny I will have to think of more, and /or remember to write things down.

Home Sweet Home!

I have had this in my drafts for a week now... thinking i would get pictureson but havent yet so here is the blog and maybe i will get pictures later:)
We are finally home from our vegas/sierra vista trip, it was so much fun. first we drove to las vegas on friday, went to a really cute water park and then saturday, went to sierra vista, Az. so that we could be there sunday when all my nieces came to town. it was so fun we swam everyday, the kids loved it, we played "Human Volleyball" everyone gets in a circle, (mostly grown ups and alot of men) with feet together, and someone stands in the middle of the feet trying to stay stiff and falls. the sitting people try to keep her from falling on them by pushing her over to someone else, and keeping feet tight around "the ball" it is so fun. you should try it at your next party. my sister ended up delivering 2 babies while i was there, actually 2 in one day! We had lots of fun!

Our New Siberian Husky

I didn't tell you we got a dog he is 9 months old, his name is Koda, He has one blue eye and one brown eye, it kinda cool. We had to drive out to Roosovelt to get him, and he threw up 3 times on the way home because he isn't used to car rides. But he is really cute and knows basic commands although he chooses to ignore them sometimes. he broke his first chain one night and ended up by the University of Utah (I'm on Fort Union and 1300 east.) but we got him back, he chewed up my brand new screen door, socks shoes, etc. but the kids love him, Isabelle wakes up every morning and as to go see if "koda is awake" we live in a culdesac, so at night I let him off the chain to run around, he likes to go to the nieghbors and run through the canal, and across the street to play with another dog, he has a really cute personality.

Mallory

Mallory left for girls camp this morning, actually she spent the night at her friend Tara's so they could stay up making pizza, and stuff and leave early this morning. She is a great girl and growing up to be a beautiful woman, even though she is a typical 'girl' teenager, and thinks the world revolves around her, she does so much for me, helping with the little kids and cleaning the house. She gets awesome grades usually bringing home about a 3.7 (give or take a point) and now she is enrolled in online Chemistry, just to get ahead a little for the 'DR.' career she wants to go into. She is so fun, I love you Mallory and I am so proud of you, thanks for all you do MOM

Arizona Trip

I am so excited, at the end of July, I am taking my daughter to Las Vegas for EFY, and then going on to Arizona to see my sister for the week. with all the rest of the kids, its about a 16 hour drive at... where are we? $4.50 a gallon now. but thats ok I haven't been for over three years. So my kitchen and anything else have been put on hold for a while. Steph, for your info. I will leave here on the 25th go to vegas til Sunday (i want to take the kids to the M&M store and maybe the nascar place for Isaac on saturday) then head to Sierra Vista on sunday, We'll be there til Friday or Sat. I'm not sure yet. then stay the night again in vegas and drive home Sun. I cant wait I really do love road trips.

Where Does The Time Go

gosh, I feel like the summer is just flying right past me, we haven't even gone camping yet, of coarse with the gas prices its hard to go anywhere, I did finally get my garden put in, which was great of me. Its not as big as usual but I wanted to get something planted before it was too late. I swear it seems like the older I get, the faster time goes by, we can fly through a whole year now and not know where it went. I cant believe my baby is almost a year old already, I got one starting kindergarton this fall, my oldest is 18 and another one with just 2 years left of school. its crazy. you really have to cherish every moment. hopefully we can go camping this weekend, we do have a couple bigger trips planned in july though.

Teenagers GRRR...

I guess its true, that the reason god gave us teenagers is so that we would be able to let them go out on their own, if they stayed cute and sweet we would want to keep them forever, well mine is pretty much depleted of ANY cute and sweet, I assume its all teenagers, but 'help' me if I'm wrong, does she really think the world revolves around her, like it would all stop spinning if there was one less teen in it? Everything I own is automatically hers to share (if I ever find it to 'borrow' it back) or just plain HERS because she has allowed me to be in her presence. I'm weird, old, lazy, I never let her do anything, all her friends moms are nicer than me, I don't do anything right. I guess what comes around goes around, I remember not being so nice to my mom, and now I'm paying for it... all I can say is, watch out sis. cuz you'll get yours, her daughter is going to be even worse, and then... I'll just sit back and smile.
