WOW! What a weekend!

So I don't even know where to begin. I suppose the first is always the best. It is good to be blogging again. We have had a busy weekend but a super fun one! Well last week we planned a weekend away with Kody and Jubilee so friday we all loaded up and headed for Wayne county. We got to Loa late that afternoon and decided to take them over to the dairy so their boys could see the barn and the equipment. All the boys had a blast even Kody tried out the swather.

Then on saturday we went to cainville riding motorcycles. We got down there about 10 am and rode till 7 pm . Everyone had a great time we all rode hard all day and all the adults were a little stiff and sore by the time we cleaned up. The kids could have kept going!  What a fun time we had and lots of smiles and laughter.

So the kids decided they were going to do a circus.

Hunter was the magician, Rachel was the trapeze girl, Slade was a clown and Ty was suppose to be a clown BUT got angry because the kids would not let him wear and do what he wanted. SO he became the angry clown.

New bikes and all that come with them!

So the other day me and steven were noticing that Hunter was Huge on his old bike. It was just way way to small. So with alot of promises on Hunters part we went and got him a new  bike. Well all went well for the first day or so but then all feel apart in one moment. Hunter had just got up to full speed and was flying down the side walk. As he approached a neighbors yard he tried to peddle backwards to stop himself ( that is how he stopped on his small bike) well with this bike you have to use the hand break. Well as the picture shows Hunter and the tree became close friends. Lucky for hunter I will not let them even look at their bikes without a helmet on. Well he got up stressed for a minute jumped back on his bike and away full speed he went. He is such a cute kid.  Oh how he loves his new bike. I sit and watch him fly up and down the driveway and remember how much fun it was as a kid to jump on your bike and ride as fast as you could up and down the road.

My bedroom is suffering and we are having the time of our lives because of it!

So each and every morning since school let out I get the kids their breakfast and as soon as they are done we clean house. You know the family room, living room, kitchen , Vacuum so on and so forth. Well by the time we get done we get lunch (we dont get up  til 9:30-10:00 I love it) they want to go out and ride bikes. Now each day my bedroom is the last room I do so by the time I get to it the kids are ready to go outside . So to say the least my room is neglected. It REALLY needs to be cleaned. Once my kids are outside they are there till there dad gets home and I have to start dinner. You know though my room will still be there tomorrow or whenever I get to it! I'm going to watch my kids ride bikes!

Jubilee I cant wait till next weekend! Hehehehehehehehe

Ohhhh to laugh and laugh and laugh!

Another great meal and good times were had last night! We went to dinner with Kody and Jubilee and had a great time. I wanted to take photo's and so did Jubilee so we were having fun but the guys tolerated are photo taking! They were good sport's being as they know they will never get out of it. Oh how we have fun with them and laugh HARD!

Today after church slade was begging to go ride his bike ( he just learned to ride without training wheels) so we went out and was watching them. Well Kody , Jubilee and their two boys came over so we sat out side in the open garage and watched the kids have a BLAST riding their bikes in the rain, splashing in mud puddles and having a great time!

Raspberries and cherries

Last night while I was at the store buying my Raspberries I found fresh sweet cherries! Yummy!  What can I say I grew up at Capitol Reef among hundreds of fruit tree's. It always hurts a little to have to buy it instead of picking it off the tree in my backyard! Oh well you take what you can get . Well Hunter and Ty loved them they were a sticky yummy mess when they were done!  

So today I made Raspberry Jam (Yummy huh)!  Now I don't know what it is about those bottles all lines up in row's on my counter that make me so happy. Maybe it is the fact that each one contains sticky, yummy, raspberry goodness. Maybe it's the satisfaction of all my hard work. Or maybe it's the sound that each one makes as it seals that POP brings a smile to my face knowing I did it right! I am making rolls for dinner so I can have some with warm melted butter. MMMMMM I can't wait!
