Just another weekend in paradise!!

    Well we find ourselves at the end of a really good weekend. I hate how fast the weekend seems to go by. Time in general flies by these days. Halloween is going to upon us before we know it and that means the holiday's are here.

     I took the kids shopping Friday for their Halloween costumes. That was oh so much fun ;) If anyone has been in a crowded store with three little kids know exactly what I mean. Lucky for me my big little brother went with me. He is such a big help these days. We were in Wal-Mart forever it seemed. Finally we left with two fairies and one ninja.

     From there I went to Al's sporting goods to buy some hiking shoes for my big hunting trip with Jake this weekend. I am so out of shape I will probably die on this trip. I like hunting but my joints don't like the cold or the physical beating, but I have to stay active or I will lose my mind. After my stop there I had to run to Dillards to buy Wyatt some new church pants and ended up buy my neighbor's baby an outfit. I am a sucker for babies. 

    That night we went and watched my little brother play in his last varsity home game of the season. They kicked butt and won 40-0. It is so hard to believe he is 17. Seems like just yesterday I was changing his diapers ;)  It was a really good game and the kids really got into it when they could see number 55 on the field.

     Saturday was a pretty boring day for us. We just hang out at the house most of the day. That night we went to my cousin Audrie's house for dinner. My parents and brother, Chelsey, Josh and Preston and my grandparents were there. My parents had their trailer and my grandparents had their motor home there. They were having themselves a little camp out. It was really nice to just let kids play and have grown up conversations.

    Sunday was a really big day for us. We attended a full block of church for the first time. I hadn't done that in over 12yrs I think and the kids never have with me. I really enjoyed it and I am felt like the lesson's and talks were directed at me. They spoke of a lot of things that I had questions about and I got some much needed answers too. I have been reading the Book of Mormon and have felt a peace in my life that was missing for so long. When it was over I had this warm feeling like one day it will all be easier. Changing our lives is going to be hard but in the end it will be worth it when I can spend eternity with my family.

     Later that night I got to go pick up my husband in Tremonton. I was soooo happy to have him home. The kids were really excited too. When we got home we all watched how to train your dragon and had a really nice night as a family. After the kids went to bed me and Jake sat up and watched some t.v. then went to bed. It is so weird, when he is home I feel more tired and I sleep much deeper. I don't wake up at all during the night like I do when he is gone, then I can't wake up in the morning. Maybe its because I can finally relax and all the days I couldn't hit me at one time.

     Really excited for the week to come. Family pics and hunting with Jake. Going to be busy but soo worth it!!!
