Here's the Update

The last couple weeks have been filled with fun and frustrating moments...but I will only focus on the fun for now. Most of the frustrating is me being so ready for school to start again...kids not listening and what not.

Last week we had fun at Atlantis park with our mom's group doing crafts together, unfortunately I didn't get any pictures that day.
A couple days before that Princess AJ (along with the boys) had her first soccer practice, which I am helping to coach. There are 5 girls on the team all under 5. They are so cute and are fast becoming friends. This week they got their jersey's neon green with lots of little dark green squares on it...now we just need to come up with a name, I mean they do (with our help of course). Also on that same day Princess AJ helped me make a cake because I signed up to bring dessert to our Relief Society Spa Night (with dinner). We ended up watching a whole movie from the spa. It was so relaxing !
Last Sat we went to another super fun and super yummy birthday party at the Splash Pad. There was also supposed to be a ward Beach Party that night, which I ended up getting us a ride to, then it was canceled due to overcrowding at the Beach. Our ride had us all buckled into her van when she got the call, so she decided to treat us all to Golden Spoon (kids first time having frozen yogurt). It was so nice of the Wheeler family, I know my kids had so much fun with them. Princess AJ got to see her primary teacher at work (she loves her). GameBoy ended up losing a tooth & we all blamed it on the cold, hard gummy bear topping.
This week we had some more Splash Pad fun & more soccer practice.
Baby J. and I went to Disneyland to sign in Uncle Phillip, Aunt Vanessa and a couple of their friends. Princess AJ wanted to go, but alas all the kids have gotten to go with Mommy to do sign-in's before they were ticket age, so she had to stay home with JimDaddy. We went on a couple rides with them , helped them save on a purchase that would help to cool them off throughout the day, then slowly walked out, stopping just outside the castle and at the stores. We also had to get some water, cause it was hot and we had not packed well. I ended up coming home with a Disney trivia Wii game for the kids (even the biggest kid of them all).
Thursday was a bit crazy -mostly emotional stuff- but because of that stuff and my mood we didn't make it to Chuck E. Cheeses with the mom's group, like the kids thought we were going to do. JimDaddy even went so far as to take the TV out of the living room for a while. I finally did get the shopping done and my mood was brightened.
Today ---probably tomorrow too- was laundry. I had planned on Monday to do some Heritage Makers mini workshops, but didn't plan enough and one of my favorite quotes is "When you fail to plan , You plan to fail."
I still have time tomorrow for some mini workshops-just call or drop me a message- My goal is to help you publish your stories and have that magic moment of the book in hand , the life touched.
Of course there wasn't only laundry today...I did some Wii fit. I hadn't had a shower yet and thought why not get a little more sweaty before I take one. Lunch, nap,lots of cleaning spilled granola.
Finally at the tail end of the day we found out some exciting news - another little one coming to our extended family. The kids were being wild and crazy all the while of course, but having fun together!

Tomorrow we hope to go to the Angels game and get some cool backpacks and we also need to prepare a talk for Princess AJ.

One of my favorite songs which expresses just exactly how I feel and sometimes what I need to remember is Martina McBride "Blessed." It's on my playlist.
