One more thing

I forgot to mention that Tim won a medal while he was down in Kansas City. bet you didn't know there was FuToN olympics... what will they think of next?! 

We survived

The weekend is over and we all survived. Honestly, I wasn't sure how Tim was going to, I didn't know it was possible to play that many video games and drink that much beer in one weekend and still live to tell the tale. Enough about that, I am over it, really...

As for the rest of us, we had a pretty good weekend. We went over to my parents house and had a movie marathon with my sister Kaela. I also didn't know it was possible to watch that many movies in one weekend. My sister and I were upstairs and the kids downstairs, it was crazy watching that many movies, if not a bit boring, but you do what you gotta do to pass the time. The kids loved it! Although, all the junk food may have sabatoged my chances at winning the biggest loser this week. Tim and I are in a weight loss competition with my sister, Kelly and her husband. Tim and I's chances are pretty much shot for the weekly prize this week, but I guess we already know who was the biggest loser this weekend...

I have to say the highlight of my weekend was definitely church. Kaela and I decided to go to church at my church this weekend because the Bishop was there celebrating Mass for the installment of our new priest. It was awesome, he gave all the children in his Communion line an individual blessing and gave a special shout out to young parents who make the sacrifice to make it to church every week with their little ones. He insisted that the yelling and screaming and talking was music to his ears. I am not going to accuse our Bishop of lying so I will appreciate his comments and remind myself of them every sunday, they are making music, right? I have to admit, though, the best part of the whole weekend was when the Bishop was sitting down with his hat and his staff and Peyton looked at me and said and I kid you not, "Mom, I want to be a Bishop when I get big!" I was speechless.

My future successor to the Apostles

Mother of Four

No I am not announcing that I am pregnant... Just thought I would throw that out there, now commencing with my post...

So one of my children has left me. After I packed his lunch, a 12 pack of diet pepsi a bag of doritos, gave him his favorite blankey and pillow and made sure he had all of his favorite games, as well as church clothes, I sent him down the road to Kansas City for FuToN Weekend; Crappy Beer Edition. Yep that's right, my oldest child has left me for a weekend of XBOX, Booze and Magic the Gathering. Honestly, I don't think my husband will ever out grow his college days... Oh well, I guess Old Milwaukee is cheaper than Scotch...

In other news, the rest of us are doing great! I just made my very first batch ever of peanut butter cookies and we will spend the weekend eating junk food and playing some games of our own probably. Ronni and Peyton do a pretty good job playing with one another now. It is amazing the difference just a couple of months make. They used to be unable to play well together at all, it always ended in yelling and screaming (me yelling, them screaming) now it only ends in screaming about half of the time! : ) Below is a picture of Ronni and Peyton playing Ants in the Pants. They are playing it on a car mat we received from my mom and dad for Christmas, the most popular toy in our house right now. Thanks again mom and dad!

And a picture of the littlest because she is just becoming so darn cute! I just want to share her with everyone. I hope everyone has a great weekend. I am sure Tim will and the other three children and I should be just fine.
