Oh I forgot!
I finished Breaking Dawn. I think a lot of people talked it up.. I thought it was good but I did like the others better. I had no prolem putting this one down it took over 2 weeks to read!
First day of school
geez and I didn't even take a picture!! lol
so today was a little frustrating but seriously why wouldn't it be?? this is our first lesson EVER! Sadie was a little put out by not having my attention when she wants. I put a movie on for her and Owen to watch while I got the kids started and helped them for a bit. But we were done with school right after lunch and I NEEDED a nap. I never use my brain that much any more!! lol I dont' mean that in a bad way just that I don't usually have my brain going in all different directions all at once. I am sure we will find a happy place and it will be come easier!
so I have had people ask so here is the website.. www.k12.com One thing I found funny was the kids wanted to do serious scince experiments because we got goggles and a measuring glass. lol They were a little dissapointed to do work on weather and Africa. haha
Cora started out in her jammies cuz she thought it would be cook to have school in her jammies but they were changed by first break (about 10:15) I think they were a big distraction.
Jacob did fine in his and had to quickly change them when regular school got out and his friends wanted to come over!
Owen Is going tobe doing the Brighter Vision for now itis a prek program which I did with Jacob. He did it a little bit last year too. Owen will be 5 in about two weeks, just barely missing the school deadline.
here's to tomorrow!

So Obnoxious they can do this to me!!
Ok I totally loved high school! Of course there are all those goody goody's there I didn't like. I was the average nerdy superstar in HS. I had a ton of friends, all different grades. So The past few wekks I have been on facebook a little more this mornig I thought Hmm I Should go see if anyone else from school joined! ok so I do and a see I dont' remember but there is a group for the year I graduated. It is all those goody goody's I didn't care for that drov eme crazy cuz they only staye dwithin their cliche. Yeah it was fun looking thru the pictures cuz they had some elementary school pictures (thank good ness I wasnt in their class) but to see old faces. it was fun but it just annoys me that they still bother me lol. They never did any wrong to me just being themselves I suppose...

been a while?
yeah. life takes over and the days pass quickly. let's see where did we last leave you... WOW! two weeks!
k I decided to let Sadie keep her sippy's so she would have one at grandmas house.
Flaming Gorge and The Green River. Friday the 8th DOn's friend cut his hand so they invited Don to go hunting with them in case they needed the extra hand lol. ok So he went hunting instead of up to the green with us. Um we got up early Thursday morning and headed over to the church (after packing all the food) and we finally pulled out at 6:30. We had 4 girls, 6 boys, 5 leaders, and the bishop and his wife also came later. Thursday after arriving we set up camp and took off for the dam tour. That was fun I guess. since I am terrified of heights I stayed way back as we walked across the dam. anyway then we drove down to Dutch John to see where we were picking up our rafts the next day. and I bought a really good oreo shake lol. ok then we drove back to cap and hello I forgot my jacket! ARG! thank goodness it wasn't too cold. we had some dinner and then sat around and talked and played games. got up Friday mornign made some breakfast burrito's and got all our lunch stuff together int eh same cooler and we were off to the river. did I mention it was overcast? blah!! OK so we get down to Dutch John pick up our rafts. I was very nervous I feellike such a chicken cuz I'm also afraid of the water. well they all got the rafts unloaded I handed over my keys to the YM pres and jumped on the raft no fear right? lol I did this when I was younger so I wasn't too terrified. it took us 2 1/2 very cold hours going down 7 miles lol. k we were really cold cuz of the ambush of water from the other raft lol. we got 'em good and they were definately more wet than us! haha! got out of the river at Little Hole. Man that was fun I wanted to go again!! We ate lunch a little wet. (we were not lunch lol) The wind picked up and Huge black clouds covered us! That was it for me I wasnt' going again :( I was a little sad cuz I really wanted to and if I had a jacket I would have! None of the girls and a couple of boys didnt' want to go again so I drove them all back to the camp ground with teh bishops wife. I was soo tired I totally crashed and I didn't see the bishops wife till everyone else got back. well I fell asleep in the tent and Icould hear all the kids talking outside the tent. I didnt' totally crash. then I heard then start talking about all going to the boys tent to sit so I thought I had better get up and go with them. so I did and we all just talked and listened to the IPOD and sang. then it started to pour rain!! By the time everyone else got back from their second run it had stopped and we went and made Dutch oven dinner. YUM! then that night we had a nice fireside and smores and bed. I reluctantly listened to my body the next morning and dragged myself to the bathroom early. as I got out of the tent it was sooo cold and cloudy (I went and got a jacket while dinner was cooking) so happy I had a jacket. I saw the YM pres and asked when we wanted to get the kids up looked like rain. ugh it started pouring within minutes! I am proud to say the girls all got right up and we had opur stuff packed and tent down before the boys. we waited around for about a half hour for the YM to get their stuff taken care of and did some smack talk lol. We went in to Manilla to a member of the bishoprics vacation home for a fabulous bbq! and I didn't really think I would make it home cuz I was soo tired but I did! whew!
Don left Friday for his hunting trip and was gone till monday night. Cora left Monday morning for Girl scout camp. and she came home yesterday!
My sister had her Baby Saturday night named him Kyle and he weighed in at 7/10. so I think that is about as caught up as my life goes.
I really am enjoying the Olympics. They have been so fun to watch. I am really bummed I didn't get to see the womens volleyball champs play! I did get to see some sprints that were soo awesome! and of course I saw Phelps win every gold medal this year! he was amazing!
School: K If you haven't heard, my kids are attending the Utah Virtual Academy. It is a new charter school! YEAH!! it is done thru the K-12 program and they will be home! So we have gotten the computer and that's it. school work should be here by tuesday for the first day of school. My kids are really excited. Tuesday we went to a meet n greet to meet other kids/parents, learn more, ask questions, all those fun things.
ok I will try not to go soo long so that I dan't have to write another novel!
oh novel. One day I will have time to finish Breaking dawn. I'm almost there!

WHAT!!
yes yes I changed my music cuz half of it wasn't working! so I hope you enjoy the mostly new tunes! and seriously check out the new Cure songs. it is simply unconceivable that they would release one single a month! I can't even find the singles around here!! HOWEVER! I have snagged them on my player and in two more months I can hold the full album in my arms and lock myself in my room! thanks Robert (YA YA I know he will never read this lol) xoxo
