Our Trip to Grandmas House

Last Sunday we went to visit Grandma Blackburn in Malad. It was so nice to visit with her. We have not seen her in a while. She is such a sweet lady. She is so good to our kids. She just loves them. She is going blind and can't see well so we took her to the park for the day cause she never gets out of the house. I think she enjoyed the fresh air and watching what she could and hearing the kids having fun.

Peach Days Weekend

I went up and stayed overnight at my parents house on Friday before Peach Days. And of course I did not have my kids for Peach Days again!!!!!!! My Ex is definately very selfish and not easy to work with at times. I have not had them for Peach Days since we got divorced and I hate it! The kids wanted to come with me so BAD but of course its not about the kids its about who's in control of the situation. I just want what is best for them. But anyway, I enjoyed seeing many friends and I loved sitting with my family and playing with me neices and nephews at the parade. Saturday afternoon I was able to go see my Best Friend Tara at her parents house and visit with her for a while. It was so nice to talk to her and see her and her GORGEOUS kids. We have so so much history together and I just love her. She has the cutest little baby boy, Jensen and I just loved holding him. I wanted to take him home with me so bad! I enjoyed watching her cute little girl, Reese. She has such a cute personality, and she is such a free little spirit. I didn't get to see Kennadee much cause she went to the car show with dad. At least I got to enjoy somebodies kids that weekend.




Tara is so beautiful. I love Reese. So cute.


Sweet Jensen.
Then Saturday night Brandon and I went to Idaho to get the motorhome for the winter. And what a night! Our motorhome had mice in it cause it is getting cold. We found one dead one that had made a nest with the fur on Alyssa's coat. CRAZY!!! But through out the night Brandon and I could not sleep cause all we could hear was mice running around and chewing on things. I have the BIGGEST fear of mice so I just could not handle it. Tara knows how terrified of mice I am. When I lived in Brigham and Lilly was a baby I saw a mouse in my dining room while I was talking to Tara on the phone. She told me her mom had some traps and she would bring them up. I made her climb through my window in the living room cause my front door was locked and I was not going to go unlock it. They just are so fast and creepy to me. They were in our ceiling of the motorhome so we couldn't get to them. Needless to say we got no sleep that night. So the motorhome is full of traps now and I just hope we can get them all out soon.

First Day of School

Well it was the girls first day of school Monday. They were so cute! They were definately ready to go back. They loved their teachers which is wonderful cause I don't think Lilly liked hers last year. Hayden was so funny, he had to take his back pack with us when we went to the school. He thought he was a pretty cool! And what can I say....he is.

This year getting ready for school is quite the challenge. I am watching my friend Laura's girls in the morning. She has to be to work by 4:30 so her girls come over about 4:10 and climb back in bed with my girls. But then when it is time to get them ready....Wow 5 girls in the bathroom getting ready all at once, what a CHALLENGE!!! It is like an assembly line when it comes to doing hair. Then I take them all to school at about 8:35 and I head to work with Hayd and I have to be there at 9. So wow my life is pretty CRAZY in the mornings. And its almost like having 2 sets of twins cause they are all around the same age as my girls. Hopefully we will get a good system down soon.
