Life goes on

I only have a minute before the boys need to get ready for school. I have wanted to update the blog, but we were without our home phone and internet for over a week so we could keep the same phone number when we switched companies. Abree is now teething again with a cold and an ear infection. She will only sleep if I am standing up while holding her. I am finally able to lie her down if she is dead asleep. It has been a hard week to do anything except hold Abree and try to get the kids to school. We did enjoy watching conference on our computer which was nice since Cadin and Ken had a cold that weekend and we they would not have been going anywhere. Conner and Cadin are excited about school because they are incubating eggs and are learning about the life cycle of a chick. They got the eggs yesterday so in 21 days they will hatch. Sebrina also has a cold now so she has taken a nap all week without a hard time. We went on a hike last Saturday that was really fun. The kids did great and I have pictures that I will post later. Sebrina also had her first sleepover at someone else's house and then she had one at our house during Spring Break. We are off to northern Idaho this weekend for a mini vacation. Ken and I have been trading all week with the kids and it will be nice to have all of us together for a while. Ken has visits tonight after my Presidency meeting and that has been the schedule this week. We are doing the Lord's work so everything seems to work out. Last night at mutual the Laurels planned a crazy dinner where there was a main course, a side dish and one utensil to try and eat it. Some funny combinations were refried beans with spaghetti and a turkey baster to eat it. There were several people that had whisks for spaghetti. Another combination was taco soup, salad and chopsticks. It was a lot of fun. We offered some people forks to finsish their food at the end and most declined. They either had figured out a way to eat it or had resorted to eating spaghetti with their hands instead. Have a great weekend.
