1. The high is supposed to be 88 today. Such a blessed thing when you have no a/c in the car and the driver's side window doesn't work.......which is very inconvenient at the drive-thru.
2. Weston is assimilating his drawings to real life. His people have round heads, circles for eyes and long sticks for legs.
3. Hannah has a thing for chewing gum....just like her mommy when she was little.
4. My husband is funny, cute and a worthy priesthood holder. I am so proud he was able to help a grandfather administer a blessing to his young grandson who broke his arm last weekend.
5. The Holiday season is upon us. It makes me want to watch Home Alone and sing Jingle Bells.
6. I am making Velveeta shells and cheese with hot dogs for dinner.
7. "So you think you can dance?" is on twice a week now.
8. General Conference is this coming weekend. That means no chasing kids around the church + listening to fabulous messages from our beloved leaders!
9. I am making pumpkin bars today to satisfy my sweet tooth.
10. My computer will not let me down load pictures on to it any more. Okay, I really don't love that, but it's the truth. I hope I can get the problem fixed soon!

Part I
My house looks like a complete disaster and I feel like I could just fall on my bed and sleep for 15 hours at this very moment. But, I promised to be back within the week and Michael is telling me that I need to blog.
I do have a lot to share...just where to begin and what pictures out of the hundreds do I share? My first "mini-vacation" was during the week of the 24th up in St. Johns. My beautiful and sweet sister-in-law was good enough to travel all the way from Oklahoma to fulfill our wishes. I miss that girl every day and it was so good to spend a week with her!
We did so many fun things while we were there. We played at the pool several times. This even included some water aerobics with all the women. It makes me giggle just thinking about it. It really is so enjoyable and quite a workout! We also took the kids a few times during family swim and they loved playing in the water with Aunt Lollie.
Michael's cousin Ben brought his boat up and took us out on the lake for some fun tubing and skiing. After a few rounds on the tube Ben asked if we were done. My most intelligent husband responded with, "You haven't thrown me off yet!" I know I was in for it then. But, Michael got the worst of it with a face plant and bruises on his lips. Serves him right, I guess. And he never took pictures of me skiing. I've decided that is because he can't ski. He is very competitive and the fact that his wife can out do him in something is a little embarrassing....or A LOT!
We all went to the parade and enjoyed the floats. Caden was wrangled in to being a part of the pooper scoopers behind all the horses. I could tell he did not like us yelling his name out as he passed with a shovel full of horse poop! What a sport. And every year they end the parade with the fire truck shooting out tons of water getting all the spectators wet. So much fun!
Weston loves when Uncle Scott is around with his "truck". Scott is always so nice and offers to take him on a ride.
Hannah loved playing with Lollie. They played the piano, jumped on the trampoline, and even got some beads out to make some bracelets.
I caught Weston doing this SEVERAL times. I was lucky my camera was close just once. Seriously! Boys and the freedom of relieving themselves out in the open. I'll never understand.
Honestly, I can't think of a better picture to end this post with. We loved spending time with everybody and miss them all!
