Long Week

It has been a long week for our family. Each of the kids have taken their turn staying home from school last week being sick and I woke up with a bad cold,cough and sore throat. I feel miserable. As of saturday night we have a new guest living with us. My step sister Teryval has moved in with us, not sure for how long. She was living with her fiance and things got bad and needed a place to go. She is really nice and good to the little ones. I have only met her once so it was kinda of weird to have her move in. But hopefully it is not for too long. Anyway, I am going to go take a nap.

It is so sad about President Hinckley. I will miss him.

Cubs

Well Paige sent me this template and I couldn't resist putting it on our blog. We are excited that Mark is coming with us this year to spring training. We already have our game tickets and hotel booked. Counting down the days. Sorry no pictures yet of the family room. I have to finish one more part. But I wanted to thank you for your compliments on my decorating. Hope you have a great day.

Life is back on track

Man, it has been so long since I have blogged I think I forgot how. I just read our Christmas letter Chris wrote for the first time. He did a really good job. He has to do it every year because I can't remember what I did the day before much less through out the entire year. Any ideas what I can take to improve memory loss??? I am doing a lot better health wise. I was glad that I didn't have to go get x-rays done.

We had a fun new years eve party at a friend of ours and played games, ate, visited, ate and ate some more. Needless to say my resolution is to loose about another 20 pounds. I have finally made it back to the gym this week after not stepping foot into for about 2 months. It felt good to work out.

Grandma you will be pleased to hear that today I cut Tevins hair. He looks tons better. He groaned and moaned through the entire thing but ignored him. Chris and the twins are at the temple doing baptisms tonight. I wish they could do them more often. As a youth we went once month and did 20 names. Here the youth go every 6 months and only get to do about 5 names. But they enjoy it especially the trips to dairy queen afterwards.

I am glad school is back in session and life can get back to normal. Since I am feeling better I have started finishing my painting downstairs. Mom the brown looks awesome next to the curtains you made. I LOVE IT!!!! When I get everything cleaned up probably by Saturday I will put pics on.

We are suppose to have rain all weekend and I am thrilled. I love St. George, but I do wish we had more rain. Well gotta run. Holden is beating up on Sloane. Happy New Year,
