Holy cow!

Is it April already??  Where has the year gone?  I must admit, I am not an everyday or even every month blogger.  :(  I am a slacker, big time.  School is past 3/4 over, the flowers are in bloom and our garden spot is almost ready to be planted.  We made a new driveway, so the owners of the other house don't get too upset we have 3 cars to park.  Beau will graduating next month.  WOW!  Hard for me to believe.  Morgan is at her first Stake dance tonight.  She had to prodded just a wee bit.  She is doing great in school and track.  Brett has adjusted well to Kimberly.  He will get his Bear at Pack Meeting on Tuesday.  Jeff and I love our little Primary kids, but the Bishop wants to talk to us before church tomorrow???????  I told Jeff maybe its just for the 24th of July picnic committee.  Who knows.  More on the subject later I suppose.  I would love to get the house painted and asked Dad's opinion of color today.  At some point new carpet is needed also.  Anyone know of someone that paints or sells carpet?  HAHAHA!

new, new, new

Its been a couple of weeks I know. I have been checking out other blogs, wanting to know how they are so dang cute and mine is so blah. Gonna work on that. Jeff is contemplating another trip. Don't know what to think about that. We are starting new schools and a new job tomorrow. Whew! I will get pics taken in the morning of the "first day of school" stuff. Beau has been in Island Park all weekend and we are waiting for him to get home. We are so glad he has made some friends. We have a good ward. Lots of people from the home area. We still have some pictures that need put on the wall and one box in Morgan's room that needs put away.
We went to the temple last Tuesday and the witness couple had to step down. So who does the officiator, my father, ask to fill the spot? Yes, us. Our Elders pres. thought it was so funny. He said he had never seen that happen before. I then informed him that the officiator was my dad. He laughed even more. We did go have some dinner with them after, so it made for a good date night.
I will post a pic from a first day of school a couple of years ago. Maybe I can still catch up with Kenz and get a first month of school pic from her. hahaa

almost done.....I think.

it is quite an ordeal to move 2500 square feet of house into 1100 square feet of house. I almost have it done. Last 2 things to organize: my closet and my "stuff". Poor Morgan having to share her bedroom with her mother's "stuff". We got the kids registered for school today. Quite a process to have to fill out all that paperwork that I took for granted the Declo schools already have.
I did get the milkcan painted orange. Jeff asked why not red, we live in Kimberly now? I told him its just cuz I like orange.
Fair week is almost over and I haven't had any fair food. I might even have to try the deep fried snickers.....mmmmmmm. After the sale on Saturday, where I hope we have big bucks no wammies, we will have some time to walk around. When I find my camera *hint hint* I will post some pictures of the new place and the turkey showing.
I know I should get busy and finish before Jeff gets home. Maybe it will happen yet.
Take me out to the Burley Fair! :)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY BRETT

Matt, Brett & Logan

I just can't believe how quickly the past 9 years have come and gone. This month Makenzie will be 20, Blake would have been 15, Beau will be a senior, Morgan an 8th grader and Brett will be in 3rd. My babies are all growing up.
Brett is such a special part of our home. He is a great snuugler. He is smart. He is a great reader. He knows how to run a computer better than me. He is a very friendly boy and makes friends easily. He loves to bear his testimony. He always volunteers to say the prayer at home. We love him and are proud to call him our son. :)

moving day??

You talkin to me bub?

Tomorrow, tomorrow, I love ya tomorrow. You're always a day away...Jeff took tomorrow off to help move the big stuff to Kimberly. Hopefully I can get it all organized in a timely fashion, for fair is next week. Turkey weigh in Monday and showing Tuesday. Got to get those buggers all prettied up.

15 years holds a lot of stuff and memories to pack up. I hope K&H love our house as much as we did. :)
