She wants magic cards

Today while sorting through mail Londyn was opening all the credit card offers and she said Mom, can I get a credit card??? I of course said no she said when I said someday... Also the naked man we saw on our way home in wamsutter wyoming made many news stations I guess after we called in it got interesting he got a hold of a gun, knife and went a little crazy. Truckers formed a barricade around him so he couldn't drive anywhere else..Thank goodness for prayers being said and that we were about 10 minutes ahead of all the craziness. Crazy article if you google it.

HOME!!!!!

Homeward bound!

Well we started the dreadful drive home yesterday. We had some ups and down. Downs were of course saying goodbye to friends and family. We were driving through Wyoming and we saw a naked man walking down the interstate. We then saw about 3 highway patrol cars heading to pick him up. That was a good laugh. We tried to stop and stay the night in three different towns but they no one had rooms, so instead we pulled over and slept for a few hours in our car. We made it to omaha tired, cranky, and with very energetic kids. William, Henry, and I attempted a nap. Well william and henry got a good one the other kids kept bothering me so needless to say I am not the most plesant person. So I am off to bed. Tomorrow we will be home. Now only to last the rest of the way without going crazy!

Londyn

Londyn lost her first tooth! I thought it was fun that she lost her first tooth in the town she was born in. Some things she said were I have been waiting a million years to lose a tooth,and its a dream come true..

Happy Fathers day

Today is one of those special days where we are to think about and wish the special men in our lives Happy Fathers day! I have been blessed to have many men in my life who have influenced me for the good. First I was blessed to have wonderful father who has always been a support to me. He has shown love when love is needed, he has shown discipline when it has been needed. He has taught me many things. I remember growning up and he telling us kids work builds character.. I think of that often since my job is a never ending job. He is an amazing father who loves me!!! Next I was blessed with 3 awesome brothers who individually have blessed my life for the better. My brother Shawn has always been so kind and he always danced with me when I was little. I would put my hand on my hand and say dance! And he would dance with me. My brother Austin is kind, patient and protective. I have enjoyed living close to him this past year to get to know him and his little family. My brother August is a goof he is always making people laugh, even though when I was little he tried to make me disappear with desitin I still love him. I remember being prego with Jonah and he and I had a great time tieing a baby blanket. He is such a cute, protective father to his sweet son Lincoln. I have been blessed by many wonderful brother-in-laws who have set an example for me. Next I have been blessed with a wonderful father-in-law who is a very patient, kind, loving person. I think of him as a teddy bear. I have never seen him to raise his voice at anyone. He loves and supports each of his children. He has passed a lot of these fine qualities on to the most important man in my life my husband. William is very patient with me a little too patient some times. He is such a hard worker considering we have been in school 9 years and 3 more to go. He has a personailty that sometimes seems to scare people away but underneath he is a very kind person who loves me and our children. There have been many more people in my life that have passed on but their legacy will live in our families forever!

I am tall er

Yesterday my sister and I went to the Temple. It was a lot of fun. The best part was finding out that I AM TALLER THAN MY SISTER. All these years I was sure she was taller than me but as we were standing side by side looking in the mirror I was actually taller. Fun stuff!

I have always thought it was pretty fun to see the side of buckets where they have a kid half way in and feet not touching the ground well Henry managed to do that today with a rubbermaid. Maybe they should consider doing that picture on these too since it is obvious that kids can get stuck midair.

We made it!!

Well we made it to Rexburg in one piece.. It was not so much fun in the car. Henry was an angel he hardly cried. Brick whined a little too much. Jonah and Londyn just fought.. I am having second thought about driving home. I do have to say there needs to be an age limit to driving cross country I think it should be about 10 or 12. Needless to say I was near tears when we arrived in rexburg... But we made it...If anyone in idaho wants to get together let me know.

ROAD TRIP

Well right now 3 of our 4 kids are asleep. We are in laramie wy and tomorrow we complete our drive from Ohio to Idaho. I would like to say it was so much fun and that I would love to always drive cross country with 4 kids, but lets me honest. The first day was good but tiring. We stayed in Omaha the first night and the hotel room we stayed in was just a little bigger than our car, the pool was outdoor and not heated, and the kids were wound up. I was about to pull my hair out!!! We made it through the night and decided we would do a later start the next day and it was a bad idea. Demands,demands, demands. I gotta go pottie, stop touching me and the list goes on. We made it to Laramie where we met up with some and good friends and ate a yummy dinner and let our kids play together. We checked into a nicer, bigger room and took the kids swimming and went to bed. We attended church with our friends. For dinner we enjoyed lasagna and rabbit stew. Yup rabbit stew. I have to admit it wasn't that bad.. For updates on all our kids. Jonah completed 2 grade with flying colors, he got the nickname Gummy bear from a girl in his glass, has exceled in swimming and has turned into a great 3rd parent... Londyn completed preschool, has stopped throwing as many fits, enjoys playing with friends, and this morning I found a tick behind her ear. Gross luckily it hadn't embeded in her ear so William was just able to pull it off. Brick is finally potty trained. I have learned that it is much better to do it when the time is right then to deal with accidents. We had trial runs but he wasn't ready but when he was ready it took 1 day and 1 accident. Nice!! He will be starting preschool in the fall has started saying zip it and slapping people.. Not so nice. Henry is a ball of fun... He now shares a room with Londyn has had issues since we left Ohio sleeping I think he doesn't like being out of his surroundings. I hope it gets better. He LOVES strawberry milk almost as much as nursing... William is excited to see all of his family this week, and I am excited for him. It is hard living away from those you love... As for me I am glad I made it through Nebraska and didn't jump out of the car....
