Father's Day

Today was a somewhat normal Sunday.  We woke up and got ready for church.  I made breakfast for my wonderful hubby, since it was Father's Day, which was french toast, sausage, & honeydew.  I don't know what it is about having church at 11 but I always think I have more time than I do and I was late again (although the girls & I usually make it before the sacrament which to me is SUCCESS).   My hubby told me recently that if I make breakfast he knows I'll be late to church.  Ok I'll admit even if I don't make breakfast I'm usually running late which means that we end up taking 2 cars to church so that the preteen son can arrive on time to pass the sacrament.  So we have a "boys" car & a "girls" car, HA HA!! 

The preteen son gave a talk in church today (his 1st in sacrament meeting) & did an amazing job!  He wrote the talk all by himself (sniff), which signifies that he's growing up, way too quickly in my mind.

This is how the older 3 spent a good portion of the day. Can you see the preteen son in the corner by the play kitchen?  The teenage girls came home from spending 4 days at girls camp and needless to say came home exhausted.  What did they do them up there (hmmmm I wonder)?  They are still recovering (I think it might take them the full week to catch up). I'm probably going to be in trouble for posting this pic. I don't really know why the preteen fell asleep, maybe it was from too much pressure from giving a talk in church.  This picture should be of my wonderful husband taking a most needing glorious Father's Day nap, but NO!  He helped me prepare dinner by grilling our kabobs.  Thanks Honey!  You are an amazing man & we love you!  Happy Father's Day!

This is how the 2 yr old spent her afternoon as well!  She fell asleep at 4 and decided not to wake up until after 7.  Late night for me?  Surprisingly she was asleep for the night at 11.  I thought I'd be up with her till midnight.  The bonus for her is she had dessert for dinner.  At least it had fruit in it, that's healthy right?

All in all it was a good day, it ended with a thank you from my wonderful hubby!  SUCCESS!!

The beginning

Once again I'm attempting to start a blog.   I did this a couple of years ago or it could have been only 1, but who's counting.  I want to do this because I've failed at any attempts of keeping a journal & hope that I can at least attempt to record the happenings of my & my family's lives on this blog.  Wish me luck!
