camping trip

Have you noticed how plans have a way of changing themselves?  As it happened to us this past weekend, sleeping in our sardine can of a tent, we couldn't help but be reminded of another big plan we had as newlyweds.  As we looked at our little sardines, in their silent, still slumber, we couldn't help but be thankful that our plans had been changed.
       When we bought our "4 man tent"  it was just the two of us, we had only been married a few months and figured it would last us at least ten years, because we weren't going to have any children for five years.  Here we are 8 years later with TWO children who were both born before we had been married for five years.  Wow, were we off!  A four man tent is not really comfortably big enough for four men, because it isn't comfortable for a family of four with two SMALL children!
                                                I took a nap to catch up on sleep lost
                                                             my fisherman is so hot!



       We were going to go camping to fish lake for a day or two then head down to zions and then stay in a hotel in  St. George.   We did go camping in fish lake for a couple of nights, but then we decided St. George would be way TOO HOT!  so instead we came back up to Salt Lake and stayed at the Holiday Inn Express in west valley.  You can see it from the freeway it is the one with the big red slide that starts inside, goes outside, then back in.  turns out there is a little water park in the hotel.   The kids LOVED it and we had a little stay-cation.  we went to the movie and saw Zoo keeper, and went to the mall where we built-a-bear and picked out our own window stickers for each of our car windows.

my new life needs help

Oh how I miss my simple life in Hyrum.   I miss being able to choose if I want to be lazy or busy.   Now I am always busy and when I am not I almost always choose to be lazy.  Its kind of like I have so many things I could or should be doing that I get overwhelmed and so nothing I enjoy doing gets done :(  So I need to find ways to make more time I guess, get more organized.  if anyone has suggestions that work for you.  also on how to prioritize because everything seems so important to me.  that is all.

Mickey was so excited to go to kindergarten the day of that he got up at 730 and got dressed, got his shoes on and backpack and asked me to brush his teeth. then he had to wait a few hours till it was time to go to afternoon kindergarten.
Jason and I were very happy that Mickey was excited we were nervous and thought he wouldn't want to go. He gave us such a hard time in pre-school.
Dahlia was excited too, she lined up with the class and when I told her we had to leave to go home she was upset, she wanted to stay and go to "inda arten".
