The Little Mommy.....

Today was a busy day rushing around, taking kids to school, picking up kids, and taking kids to gymnastics, and then me running etc... So then night time rolls around and I am so tired I don't want to brush my kids teeth or get them ready for bed. Can anyone relate? So my 4 yr old Tessa who likes to help mom out sometimes decides she is going to change Afton's diaper and get her into her pj's. I came upstairs to see what they were doing and I found Tessa helping Afton get ready for bed. Tessa is such a little mommy. She LOVES dolls, and everything that goes along playing with dolls. She still thinks she doesn't have enough dolls. She cracks me up! She is such a hugger, kisser, and nurturer. She will be a great mommy one day......

Carpet, Carpet, and more Carpet....

Okay so it has taken me 6yrs to put new carpet in our house! Can I just say how much I love love it. It is so soft and lovely! :) Anyway, let me tell you how much of a chore it was to move everything around so they could lay the carpet. It took 3 days for them to get the carpet in, and longer for us to to get everything back into place. I do have to say it was great to go through things and get rid of a lot of stuff. The girls are hilarious with laying on the carpet and saying "Oh how soft." I know I should of done it a long time ago, but now I have and we really love it!



This is the old carpet...pretty boring and blah!

Tah Duh! This is our new carpet! We carpeted the whole house except for the kitchen, dining area, bathrooms, laundry room, and storage room.

Utah Trip

So my boss decided last minute that he wanted to take all of his employee's and families to Lagoon. We of course said "Yes!" couldn't pass that one up. My sister Kim and her daughter Grace met us there. We all had a blast despite the hot....very hot weather of 103 degrees. My kids didn't mind a bit, they were to busy having fun and riding on whatever ride would let them on. Afton wouldn't get off "Bulgy the Whale." I could of left her there and she wouldn't of minded one bit!

We also went to Echo Lake and camped with my sisters. We all had so much fun...wake boarding, building in the sand, skiing, knee boarding, and tubing. Thank you Mike, Kim, and JoRae for using all of your fun toys!

What Was I Thinking?

So starting this spring I thought it might be fun to start running a couple 5K races. I must be crazy or something because I never ran track in high school, and now I enjoy running. My sister Kim got me going and we ran the race for the cure in May. That was fun. Then I decided I would do another 5k on the 4Th of July in 100 degree temp! What was I thinking! And now it has become a little addicting for me now, so I decided to run a 10k over the 24Th of July in Oakley Id. As I was running straight up along the reservoir for 1 1/2miles I kept telling myself, " And you enjoy this?", it was a challenge but worth it. In Sept my sister Kim is going to come to Twin Falls and run 7.5 miles the "Rim to Rim" with me! Yeah!! I guess you could say it is a stress reliever for me, and I do enjoy it.

Twin Falls Temple

We finally have a temple in Twin Falls, Idaho. My mom and dad came up from SLC to visit and we went to the open house together. It's always fun to have family come and see us. Our girls were so excited to finally be able to go inside. Tessa our 4 yr old says, "We get to go where the angel Moroni lives." She makes us laugh a lot. We had to watch Afton our 20mo old closely as we toured, she really wanted to go for a swim in the baptisimal font. Hailee our 6 yr old is such a great older sister!
