What a mess & lego's.

 8-15-2024 

Chris and I go to Yogurtland once a week. 

We’ve been doing this for a couple of weeks now, its a fun way to end are day. 

But this one particular day.

 I decided not to use my on magic shell and to try there magic shell 

(;because I’m really into that right now …lol and I tried there's one time and it was waxie ughhh so that's why I usually have my own magic shell.)

 #angryyougartlandgods as Chris said. 

So I went to put some on my ice cream and it must’ve been clogged because it went everywhere… I mean everywhere.

This is a more cleaned up version of me.

 I had it all over my arms all over the floor. It shot behind me, almost hitting the table of people… Thank goodness it didn’t mess me.

 Chris and I laughed so hard.

He said one minute he looked over at me. I look fine and the next time he looked back and I was covered in it.

 This picture does NOT do this any justice. 

 I promise it was way worse!

 Later on that night after we had gotten all of the kids into bed, I went to just go and give good night hugs and kisses and make sure everyone was in bed... this is what I walked into…Hp making Lego's. 

Oh my heavens, while everybody else is in bed. 

He’s making Legos (insert eye roll here.) 

but I do secretly love it. 

August 13th 

So of course we have a lot of papers to go threw and sign. 

This is my least favorite part of the second day of school. 

I'm usually terable at signing and returning the papers.

 The kids usually have to remind me a 1,000 times, but this year, that was not the case. 

Thanks to my sweetheart, you made things easier this year 

(note another reason, why I liked, us both being home the first week of school.)

...Thanks Chris!

 

I loved her little outfit and face, when we were dropping her off to school.

So I just had to get a picture!

Chris and I had a few errands, so of coarse after the Costco errand, 

Chris and I went to CAL Ranch to see if they had Baby Chicks in.

 I've been wanting them ever since we moved into our house, 8 years ago.

 I would have probably gotten them by now, but I have a Brother Inlaw and sister Inlaw that have a homestead and that has made my obsession stop.

But every time I have to buy Costco eggs  AKA "The fake eggs" that what I call them.

that is... after I had the Heward Homestead eggs.

I only want fresh eggs.

(; note that I'm very grateful I can buy the Costco eggs too. ..but)

 "I'm spoiled, I tell you, SPOILED!" 

 

We saw this chicken coop and thought well maybe it would be easier to buy a chicken coop from C.R.

instead of building our own. 

Then I thought not, after I checked on the price.

My sweetheart can build me a way cuter chicken coop for less money

... I think!

(The I think is more for the less money part because I Know Chris can build a cuter coop for me.)

Good old Pinterest has my thoughts racing on some chicken coops,

 that I think would be way cuter.

Ps. look at all the colors of those eggs. yes please!!

Now let's see if we actually go through with it?

I told Chris that I'm buying baby chicks this fall...September!

The only thing that would get me to rethink the timing,

 is our up coming trip in October.

So if not, then spring for sure!!!

To Be Continued....

Hudson started 9th grade. 

 Adelaide started 7th grade.

                                                                 

                                                     Arilla started 5th grade.

Harrison stared 1st grade.

 

I have Not been ready for the kids to get back to school. 

I feel like, did we even have a summer?

We usually go up to Idaho for half a week in the summer, but we didn't do that, this year. 

 Chris's Mom's side of the family had a family reunion... Hammer reunion.

(I had been married to Chris for 19 years and 10 months 

before I went to a Family reunion... I know terrible.)

We enjoyed that a lot. 

Other then that, we have had a weird summer, I've been working a lot (;While my Aunt is up at her Alaskan house I'm trying to fill in for her with her clients) and other family things going on that has had our mind occupied over this summer Break has taken up my mind. 

The only good thing about school is, things are staring to feel a little normal.

Hudson: Enjoyed school not much to report, he liked all of his Teachers, and classes. 

 Hudson's Favorite part of school was...Lunch. 

Adelaide: Was not the happiest of people (girl drama.) but in the end we found some positive stuff.  Adelaide's Favorite part of school was...Getting ready for school. 

Arilla: Loved school loved her teacher and everything about the first day of school. 

Arilla's Favorite part of school was...EVERYTHING! 

Harrison: Liked school, liked his teacher.

Harrison's Favorite part of school was... Lunch.

We had are back to school dinner that night. 

I felt unprepared but Chris and I pulled it off.

Chris and I both took the week off.

This is the week that the kids went back to school.

I hope we do this every year. 

It was so nice to have Chris with me to drop the kids off and help out and to see how excited the kids get for there first day of school…it really was so fun to have him home.

 After dinner we were able to go over some chores for the school year. 

And The Best part of the evening was having Chris give the kids their Back 2 school Blessing. 

I’m beyond great full that we have the priesthood in our home that Chris is able and willing to give these Blessing to our kids! Xoxo, Chris I LOVE YOU!!

Blessed!! 

 

Shall we try this again?

 Hello….hello testing testing 

Would love to get this going again. 

Starting to feel norm..August 21.2016

August 21.2016

This morning we woke up to Hudson waving his 1 dollar Bill in my face from the tooth fairy. 

My eyes where definitely closed and open if that's possible.

And Chris's morning started a little earlier 4:30 to help Adelaide… she Peed the bed… she has every night for a week. 

I think I might be done Night potty training for a while that is untill she's really really ready!  

Chris had his brothers and brother Inlaw come over to watch the fights. It was nice to be able to host a small party. 

We got off to church a little late I'm still trying to adjust to our new ward.

We came home and we had visitors show up uncle Jeff and Aunt lulu. 

It was fun to show them the house. 

The kids always love to have visitor.  

Then we went to my mom's and drove in the back of Chris's truck it's.. Hudson favorite thing.

We played five crowns.
And while we were their a big thunder storm came down for a good 30 minutes lightning and lots of rain. 

Back at it!!

8•11•2016 

 I'm hoping to get back at the blog since it has helped me remember so much in the past. It's funny how you think your going to remember but then a couple weeks go bye, a couple months and before you know it a year or so. We taught a lesson in church about journaling and I loved the lesson. It put a fire in me to start up again. 

 I loved the talk From brother Eyring  it's also been one talk that has always touched me.
So here's  to journaling again.
I think this time around Im going to try and do my journaling once a day...

  I know, why would I try to do that since I haven't been very good in the past? Well I'm hoping it will help to not over whelm me. 

We will see! 

We have gone back to school and Hudson is in first grade. I'm so excited for him but I'm terribly sad, I miss him, he is so sweet.
Preschool wasn't hard, kindergarten wasn't hard but something about first grade…I mean it's all day . The sister's and I can't wait to go get him around 3:00 I start looking at the clock. The first day home he was so excited he told me he got 3 recesses!! And a lunch. It was very exciting. I loved to hear about his day but couldn't help but wounded who did he sit by, could he find the cafeteria OK?, are all the kids nice to him?
According to him it sound and seemed wonderful.


Chris was so cute he ended up getting Hudson Star Wars and poptarts cereal for his first day back to school.
(These are just a few of the little things that make me adore chris)

Took his own lunch to school.

 I remember as a little kid when my mom would make our lunches, she always had stickers characters that were on our lunch bags. she would staple them shut and then put the stickers over the staples. Sometimes she would make smiley faces with the mustard or the honey... sometimes she would write a cute little love note... As a little girl I'd love to see what my mom was going to do that day and I always wanted it to be a surprise.

So of course that's what I had to do with Hudson I put an H for Hudson and soccer balls cause he likes soccer.

There's not a lot of cute places in our front yard right now... So this big bush will have to do for all of our upcoming pictures until we can get the yard done. 

But who's looking at the yard... look at that face.

My mom took the girls so that I could go up and spend one-on-one time with Hudson as I dropped him off for his first day of school.

(Thanks mom)

So as Hudson was at his first day of school the girls and I went to grandma ladies and played...

 they played princesses and babies.

 what more could I ask for.

We went Home and I made alphabet chicken nuggets for the girls.

I Decided that it would be really fun for Hudson to come home to some cookies baked.

If you ask me it was a pretty good first day of school!
