Kind of blurry, but: Brooke, Jen, Amber & baby Crew and Jessica
The stars of the night...the MC's Kathleen Magdaluyo & Carol Hardy....CRAZY!
I'm posting. Here are some pictures of some of the things we have been up to when a camera was around. $5 costume tattoos from Wal-mart are entertaining us quite nicely. We ripped the package open as we were pushing the cart out of the store. The boys each had one on an arm and rested it on the window fame of the car as we drove. Connor said, that's what punk rockers do.
Last Saturday I was on the recieving end of an AWESOME gift and had my house cleaned. Thank you, Chris! It is so nice to come home to a CLEAN house! His mother-in-law cleans houses and is looking for more clients, so if anyone is interested let me know. She does a great job!
One more thing, I don't know if I can take Connor & Wyatt's hair long anymore. I think I'm going to break down and take them in on Saturday for real haircuts! I've always cut it in the past and when I mentioned taking them into an actual PLACE to get it cut, Connor said, "oh, I think they will do a better job than you." Nice.
Our week:
Clean house, temple, Speedway races, church, knucklehead ex-husband, FHE with Alex and breakfast for dinner, work, work, work, school, homework, preschool, grocery shopping, bank, babysitter, lots of driving, homemade pizza, baths, brushing & flossing little teeth : ) and lots of hugs, sweet kisses and plenty of fits from two sticky little boys.

I've been called out before on not writing stuff down that bothers me or is negative...only sharing the positive. So here goes. Here is a bitter taste of the negative things that bother me.
Today was Connor's first day of Preschool and everything went really well. New school clothes, had the bookbag packed, took time from work and took him there myself. Everything was great.
The bummer was......this morning Connor and I sat down to fill out a questionnaire that Miss Tina sent to him and it started lots of questions from Connor. The first question on the paper was "how many people in your family" and Connor said, "3." Then he said, "How come our family isn't like the ones on TV where the dad lives with them. How come we are different? How come we don't have a mom AND dad that live with us?" He seemed a bit upset. I can only tell him so many time that we are divorced and that I wished things were different for him too. There is lots more to this, but this is all I feel ok with sharing. I get so mad that he has to deal with this stuff. I guess every parent wants to protect their kids and all kids have to deal with things that are bummers.
We just had so much fun doing Family Home Evening with my Emily & Ben.....and Alex! He came by and ended up staying for family night and it was so fun.
Ok, Amanda, am I allowed to throw my own housewarming party and you know I would want to have my house all ready to have a party and that really defeats the purpose of a housewarming party. Any thoughts???
Friday night was great and we totally kicked it at home. Connor kept putting the TV on stations that just play music and the boys got out guitars and played along. Wyatt was cracking me up with the hat he kept putting on. Sometimes he would put cowboy boots on too. By the way, Connor was NOT happy with me taking pictures of him that night, but he has some great moves like the ones from Back to the Future where he slides on his knees and jumps around on one foot & kicks the other. Man, I need a digital camcorder! It's too hard to explain!
