Few And Far Between

I know that lately my postings have been super sparatic. I've been busy trying to balance mommy life and wife life, primary life and coupon life, family life and me life. I wish I had more time to do more things. I wish my yard was finished, my house perfect, my bad habits gone, my body a little skinnier, and well...a bunch of other things. But really, if everything were perfect I'd be complaining that I was bored. Anyway, we're cutting back on some of the things that are holding us back, and one of them right now is the Internet. So, I'll post when I can. We hope you all have a happy and safe summer!

Yard Work

The Gate...
The River Bed...by Nonie

As you can see, we've been busy. Now we have the back yard to finish...but that will be next year. We do have some new grass back there so at least the girls have a place to play. Jason built the fence. GO HIM!

THANKS to our wonderful family for all of their help!

Cove Fort

What is a "fort" at your house? At mine, it's tables and chairs covered with blankets...like a tent, only it's called a "fort." On our way home from St. George on Sunday we stopped at Cove Fort to run around. We went on a tour and when we were done Jordyn looked up at my and asked where the "fort" was.

I think Jason always has his eyes closed in our family pictures.

Trip To St. George

This last weekend I had a coupon class scheduled in St. George. We decided to make a weekend of it and it was SUPER fun! Well, mostly. We left Friday morning around 10:30. The drive was okay, and the girls did pretty well. Until we got to Beaver. You see, I "HAD TO GO" so we stopped. I just ran in and Jason waited in the car with the girls. I'm not sure why he got them out, but after holding Tessa for awhile he discovered the MASSIVE BLOW OUT! It was super gross...and everywhere. It took us 45 minutes to get back on the road.

.

The rest of the weekend was full of blow out diapers and TWO trips to Walmart for new clothes. (Good job on packing "light." I'll never do that again.)

But, we had some fun...well, mostly. We played at this park for awhile....




Then we went to Red Robin for dinner. We sat down, order our drinks and then Jordyn did this weird shrug of the shoulders thing. I asked her if she was okay and she said no...Then she puked ALL OVER the table, seat, floor, herself, and Jason. We ordered. Gave our server and AWESOME tip and took our food back to the hotel.

Oh yeah...we went swimming too, before the trip to Red Robin.

One of us DID NOT like the water...

Like I said, it was fun, MOSTLY!

ZOO

Today we went to the Zoo. It was awesome! It was a little chilly, but the sun was shinning and we all had a ton of fun. We have a pass that's going to expire at the end of June so we're trying to sneak in a few trips before then. This was the first time that Tessa actually new what the heck we were doing. She was so cute running around looking at everything.

The rocks were the biggest hit!

We rode the train...

We rode on shoulders...

We were measured up...

We went on a ride...

We looked at these...

And these...And these...

Plus, we did A LOT of this.... It was a really great day! I'm so glad we went, I'm so glad I had my camera, and I'm so glad the girls had fun!

Thank You, Jaymie

Jaymie said she didn't have room at her house...so I said I would take care of it for awhile. Lucky me, right! I'm so excited, and so are the girls.

Quoting Jordyn

So, I'm using the bathroom and Jordyn comes running in.... "Oh, Mama! I heard you go potty. Good Job! Do you need me to wipe you?"

Jordyn: "Are you going to eat breakfast?"
Me: "No, I don't feel very good right now."
Jordyn: "Breakfast makes you feel better, I know."

Daddy is in the shower and yells to Jordyn, who is in timeout, to bring him a towel. She does it, come back in the room and says, "Mama, I go back in time out now. I still busted."

"Why?"

"I don't love you, I love my Daddy."

Me: Jordyn, say sometime funny.
Jordyn: Ok. Knock Knock.
Me: Who's there?
Jordyn: Ya Ya Ya.
Me: Ya Ya Ya Who?
Jordyn: Shower.
Me: Shower?
Jordyn: Yeah...
Then I pretend to laugh....
