Aimee's 25th Birthday Party

 

Aimee wanted to celebrate her Birthday by going ice skating. So we all met at the peaks ice arena. Randy and I are sick and Dell has a hurt knee and Grandma she is just to old so we all just watched them skate.

Clay is really good.
 
 

Tyler wouldn't skate without one of those walkers.
 
 
 
 

 
 
 

Kevin said he has only been a few times in his whole life but he acted as if he had been doing it his whole life.
 
 

Carie only really skated holding on to her hubby, she took a fall and after that she didn't skate much more because she couldn't find skates that felt comfortable.
 
 
 

Aimee is pretty good to.
 
 

Brenna can go around with out holding on to the wall.
 
 
 

Caryn held to the wall the first time around and a little the second time.
 
 
 
 

Ladeena had to hold to the wall but at least she was out there.
 
 
 
 

We all had fun celebrating Aimee's Birthday.

Cravings

What do you do when you are craving something? Do go out and buy it? Whether it be at a Restaurant or the store? Or do you wait for it to pass? Will tonight was one of those nights. I was craving Zupas, Panini and Salad, but I didn't want to drive to Provo so I went to the store and bought the stuff to make a Sandwich and Salad. My favorite Sandwich there is their California Turkey which I almost made like there's. I just visited the web site and I put on different cheese and didn't add the ranch, next time I will. The salad there is the Summer Chicken Salad. It has Strawberry's, Grapes Crasains, and I didn't add the chicken and I used pecans instead of cashews and I used a Raspberry Vinaigrette instead of a blush vinaigrette. I liked my salad better. It differently satisfied my craving and I'm sure it helped my pocket book by making it my self.

Haircut

I hate getting haircuts.The last time I got my hair cut was last July.It was way past time for one. Every time I get on I usually don't like it. So this time I went somewhere new. Told her that I wanted to keep most of the length because Randy loves it long, and just a few layers, than she could do anything to it to make it look cute. When it comes to hair I don't know anything about it, especially when it comes to styling. The only things I know how to do is but it in a plain old pony tail, and most Sundays I use the Hot Rollers. So she showed me how to make a cute pony tail and how to curl it with a flat iron. I have the big flat iron now I'm going to need the small one, then she said if I ever need help styling my her to come on in. I told her that she would probably be seeing me in there with help. There isn't much difference from the before and after. But the biggest difference is that my hair isn't so frizzy and poofy. It is a lot sleeker and it is because of the product so now I'm change her product. Plus the after shot isn't very good because randy can not take a picture.

After

Sunday

So today was one of those days you wish you could start all over. I got the boys up at 8:00 so they would have time to eat breakfast and then get ready for church. While at 8:20 I go in to eat and they haven't even started, they are watching cartoons. So by the time they had eaten and got dress it was 9:00.

We get to church and luckily for us they haven't started yet. The Young Men hadn't finished setting up the sacrament, so church starts at 9:15 today. I was really looking forward of hearing what the High Councilmen has to talk about, but the family sitting behind us were really loud. I mean really loud!! The family behind us is a widow with a teenage son and daughter and another daughter who is 10 or 11. The whole time they were fighting and talking louder than a whisper that I couldn't even hear what the speaker was talking about. It was so frustrating.

Then it was off to teach my primary class. They first 15 minutes no one had shown up and that made me a little frustrated because I had spent 2 hours last night working on my lesson. Finally one showed up and I had noticed a class without a teacher so I thought great they can enjoy the lesson I prepared. While I was making copies their teacher shows up, and she doesn't look like she is feeling well. She had a headache that was turning into a migraine. So I told her that I had her class covered and sent her back home. I don't know how she does it they are so loud and hard to keep under control. I had crying boys, boys who were for some reason at war with each other and others who could not sit still. It made me appreciate the 4 kids I have that are so good!!! Instead of the 7 she has. The lesson was on the Holy Ghost and it was nice to be able to share with them what had happened in sacrament meeting and how I wasn't able to feel the spirit because of how others were acting. I think they understood how important it is to be reverent at church.

Then it was time to go home. The rest of the day was pretty good, and later I felt that I needed to call that mother and tell her my feelings about what happened today. I told her that I didn't want to offend her nor blame her for what happened, but thought that if her kids knew that they were affecting more than just them they might be more polite next time. She was very gracious and was glad that I had said something, I just hope I didn't offend her.

I kind of wish I would have just said heck with church today,that was what I wanted to do, because I had woke up with a headache, and because I had spent 2 hours last night on my lesson I didn't want it to go to wast it. But I feel like my spirit wasn't lift up, and now I don't have that spiritual feeling to get me through the week. So now you know why I would like to restart this day over again. I would have chosen somewhere else to sit and I might not have taken the other class. But I will be more careful not to sit anywhere close to that family any time soon.

The Draper Temple Open House

When I found out about getting tickets to the Draper Temple Open House I thought that I would really like all of my family to go. So I called them up asked them if they wanted to go then went on-line and made the reservations. Both may family and Randy's family came. The only thing that would have had made the day better is if Mark and Malinda and their families could have been there with us. Clay and Tyler were excited to go in the Temple and see why it is so important. Teto's favorite part was the bus ride and the Baptismal Font (he even was trying to get in it, I guess he wanted to get baptised right then). The kids did so well of course my favorite room is always the Brides room. It was a wonderful to have both of my families there and know that we are sealed together forever. We are so blessed to have so many beautiful Temples close by. I will cherish this day forever.

New Loveseat

We have lived in our house for almost 7 years now. I have been wanting to get a love seat for our living room ever since. The couch we had was ugly and to big for the room. So last week we went to RcWilly outlet store and I found one that I really like. It is nice to now have a sitting room, and not have furniture that is to big for the room. Randy also found a T.V. he liked so we got that to. It is a LCD 1080p plasma. I don't think we will be going to the movies ever again. With the blue ray player it is awesome watching movies, better than the theater and more comfortable. We gave our ugly couch to my sister since hers was ruined and I have heard they love it. They pull the hide a bed out and they all lay down to watch movies. I'm glad they could use it. Because Randy was taking it to the dump when I called her and asked her if they could use it. I just couldn't see it being thrown away like that it was still a good couch. Now we will have to repaint the walls because they don't quite work together.

HE PASSED!!!

So I have to brag about my wonderful husband for a little bit.

Last year Nestle was having a hard time find mechanics to hire so they decided to hire people who worked there. So Randy decided that he would try out for the program. They had sign-ups and then they had to take a test. Around 25 people signed up and Randy was one of the 4 they choose to train to be become a mechanic. So for the last year he has been training and finally the year is up and it was time for him to take the finial mechanics test. He was a little worried because 2 others had taken it and didn't pass. He took it last Thursday. He did it he PASSED it. I knew he would he is such a smarty. This means he will get the mechanics raise, which will be nice.He really likes this new job. He works 6 weeks days and then 6 weeks nights, he works 3 days one week and 4 days the next week. I am so proud of him and love that even though this wasn't his dream job working at Nestle when we first got married he has stuck with it and now has a job that he enjoys. He such a wonderful husband to take care of us, and I am so lucky to have him as my husband.

I love you!!
