another week

Another week has gone by. Tomorrow morning Jared leaves for three day to Philadelphia and I am watching 2 other foster kids this week. A girl that is 4 and a boy that is 2. I am crazy. It should be alright just a little busy. Isabel will be so excited hopefully the two girls will get along. Tonight we had dinner over at my aunt and uncle house it was fun we don't so that enough. Thanks for the good times Brady family. This week Lilly has been so cute and sassy at the same time. If you don't give her what she wants she will hit you and then really fast (so she doesn't get into trouble) she tickle you and smiles really big. It is hard not to smile back but that is a bad habit for her to get into.
Today I realized I have life pretty good right now. My family is all healthy, my kids are good kids and I have a great husband. Sometimes I think we forget how blessed we really are.

School

Brady and Isabel started school this last week and they love it!!! I love it too. They go early in the morning M/W/F yeah three days a week. It is my test run to see if I should have them in the same class next year or put them with different teachers. I hear pros and cons for both ways. Most of the pros are about being easier on me so I don't know what I will do. I guess we will see how this year goes. Lilly is loving the attention that she is getting from Jared and me. She loves being the center of everything so for 3 hours of those days she gets anything she wants (from her dad) and she and I read books without the siblings bugging us. I LOVE SCHOOL!!!

We have been in St George this week.  On Wed. we went to Las vegas and played at Circus Circus.  We had a lot of fun.  

This was a ride that Isabel and Brady wanted to ride this is the before picture

This was the after picture

Thanks to my mom and dad we were able to go on a lot of rides with the two older kids because they walk around with Lilly.  After the Adventuredom we went to see some friends in Las vegas and had a great night. Good food folks and fun.  They have a little girl that will be five in a few days and when we left Isabel asked if she would be in her preschool class because she had so much fun she wanted to play with her again.  Thanks Jinny and Matt!!

Hike to the Letter (also known as the Y)

So about a month ago, Jackson came over first thing one morning and asked if I would take him up to the Y. He and I had hiked it once with the scouts and he thought it would be cool to go again. Keli was out of town and so Jessie came and watched the girls and Brady, Big Parker, Jackson and I were off.

Have to say, it was awesome. Those 3 boys are hilarious. I really doubted that Brady would have enough gas in the tank to make it clear to the top, and I was right, but Big Parker ended up taking Brady about the last fourth of the hike on his back.

Anyway, good times and hilarious pictures and I topped it all off by ruining their dinners with some delicious ice cream at the creamery. Enjoy!

P.S. In case you were wondering, Brady asks me everyday, "Dad, remember that time we hiked to the letter?" I always tell him it's the Y, he repeats, "Oh the Y," then next time asks, "Dad, remember that time we hiked to the letter?"

Kids

For all those who are wondering we are still in the process of adopting the girls. We are still waiting on the Birth father but we are not even a little worried about what will happen with him we just have to do the trial because it is the law but very soon within two months we will be all finalized. Yeah!!

our sunday

This was last sunday I thought the kids looked so cute and of course Brady and Isabelle (that is what we are calling her now when I remember) were totally all for pictures but Lilly was not having any thing to do with it. Very typical :) Sorry about all the post in one night but I finally had time to do it.

Mountain Men and Woman

Here we have our own mountain men and woman this was probably the best "house" at the heritage park it had a lot of hands on things for the kids.
