3 hours!!!!!

I didn't have a choice. I unwillingly and knowingly got stuck in this today.

I hadn't seen my husband all day, in one hour it will be his birthday, and we were going to go have dinner at his fave restaurant in Centerville. He had to go to work today and was on his way home 15 minutes after the accident happened. He sat at a complete stand still for nearly 2 hours before they finally started turning cars around. So he told me just to meet him at his moms at 4. So figuring that the accident would be cleared or at least mostly cleared by then, I wouldn't have such a hard time getting through. Plus I had a cousin get married today and we wanted to be to her reception by 6. So I left here at 3. I got to the freeway at 5, and to West Valley by 5:30, and then drove another half hour to Centerville, and then had to drive home (too much car time). Can you believe that??? Man. I have a headache, my legs are sore, my patients is at an all time low and I used a quarter tank of gas to go 40 miles. I can usually use a quarter tank to go 130 miles. We saw cars trying to take a mountain road that didn't exist, so they would go as far as they could and would have to turn around and wait some more. We saw people changing drivers and just getting out to get a drink out of the cooler in the back. We thought about turning around and going through Lehi, but then heard on the radio that, that road was also a 2 to 3 hour wait because people were trying to get through there. What a mess. All I can say is thank heaven that all things must come to an end.

Family Fun

David and I are trying to catch up on some things for the Trail of Faith award and so we decided to take the kids to Temple Square to see the Joseph Smith movie. We ended up having more than an hour to wait for the next movie. So we wandered around TS. We watched movies and learned about Temple Building, saw the Christ statue, and finally made it to the movie. Then afterwards we decided to take a walk around the garden's on top of the CC. Everything was beautiful and the spirit amazing.

Fabulous

We had a really great weekend. It started on Thursday, the kids are out of school and chores have started. I made a chore chart for the kids, we sat down set out the rules and chose the chores. My house will be so clean all summer long, Yea!!! Then Friday after chores we were lazy as could be, watched movies and played video games. We had to make a quick run to Macey's to get David his Fathers Day breakfast (I'll explain in a minute) and then we came home and packed to go to Grandma's. Just before David got home I was checking the pressure in my tires, because my car had been telling me for a week that I had low pressure in one tire. When I found the tire I also found a screw. So instead of leaving for Grandma's then I went and had the tire fixed. Hooray for small inspirations. The two hour drive to Grandma's went really fast and the kids slept for most the drive, so no screaming bored children to deal with. We had yummy dinner and sat around talking until 11. Super fun.
Saturday was another lazy day of getting mini manicures from my sis-in-law, I was freezing all day and praying that it would not rain or the wind wouldn't blow too hard for family pictures that evening. Thank Heaven again that it wasn't too bad. My fab friend Stephanie drove from SF to come take our pics (which haven't been done since I was 11). We took them down on the farm and they were really fabulous. I can't wait to get them back.
We then drove home in the dark and it took 2 and a half hours and we were tired. Sleep came quick that night.
Sunday was Father's Day at our house. David's birthday always runs into Fathers Day and we are really busy this month and have to celebrate Dawson's on Father's Day, so I picked yesterday to celebrate our super Daddy and Hubby. I made him his favorite food for breakfast, a breakfast pizza, which he ended up really loving, gave him a new watch, and pampered him all day. Finished it off with his favorite dinner and lots and lots of praise.
So it was all in all a great weekend. I can't wait to get through this week. Just one week until Trek and only 3 until we go to Boston, wow fun fun summer here we come.

It's my Birthday and I want's it....

I must complain #2

So you know my stupid sinus infection or whatever it was, is??? Well it has been about 5 weeks maybe 6 since it started, never really gone away, but at least I can smell and taste. It has become just irritating if nothing else. Well I just read on WebMD that these dumb infections could take up to 8 weeks to go away completely. WHAT??? I am just beyond annoyed. I have trek in two weeks. That would be about the 8 weeks mark. If it doesn't go away, man oh man, four days in the dust not breathing through my nose is going to stink (pun intended). Heaven Help Me??? And if it takes 9 even 10 weeks to go away and I have to get on a plane and end up with an ear infection because there is so much pressure in my sinuses, Dang Jeana, I am not going to be happy. Why Oh Why?
There I am done complaining, until next time.

Just playing catch up

So I was looking through my camera yesterday and there are some cute pictures that I haven't posted, hence, just playing catch up. It got awfully hot one day, so the pool just had to come out. The kids love it of course.

Cait did the chicken dance at the Dance Festival at the school. Her little twiner there is her best school friends Threasa.Of course we had to go to the zoo before our membership ran out. It was the best zoo day we have ever had.
Last day of School. I am a little saddened by this. My little girl is no longer so little, she'll be in the first grade.
And this was just before we left on training Trek on Friday. Aren't we the hottest pioneers you've ever seen?

These are the baby robins we have in the lilac bushes. They are starting to out grow the nest. There are three of them and one of them (the one you can't see the beak) has to sit on the edge of the nest.

That's all for catch up, I hope you enjoyed.

WOW 10 Days, Is that a record (for me)

I can't believe it's been ten day's since I posted last. Busy Busy is all I can say. I'll give you a bit of a run down. ZOO, shopping (new clothes for me this time), gardening, cleaning, girls nights out, movie night, sewing, lots and lots of sewing, and alot of back aches. Mostly it has been a great 10 days. I think I might have a few pics that I should post, but I told Dave I was going to bed an hour ago and here I am still. But here is my little I am proud of me moment. Today I sewed a pioneer looking dress, and a bonnet to match in less than 10 hours. I know to some of you that might be a breeze, but for me I felt very accomplished. You have to calculate all the breaks into that to, so really it probably only took me about 7 1/2 to 8 hours. But whoop, whoop I am ready for trek now, and I don't have to stress any more. Bow, Bow, Bow.
In reference to my last post, Dawson once again prayed for the volcano's and asteroids, but this time it was that they don't blast or hit the earth, I think he's conflicted.
