Teething

I don't know where to start with the past week. Abree got two new teeth and has a bad diaper rash and runny nose to prove it. She is great at pulling grapes off the counter by standing on the stepstool. Then she pulled the tablecloth to get Conner's gatorade. She sees something she wants then she goes for it. She discovered the slide and loves to go down it when we drop the boys off at school. She is usually screaming as I am carrying out of the school yard. Conner is reading books now and Cadin is very close behind. I went to the MiaMaid youth conference last week and had a good time with the young women. I played volleyball and danced with them as well. We did a humanitarian project also by coloring the pages for nursery's or something. I just colored and didn't worry about the rest. We were even flagged down by a truck with a couple of rednecks wanting the young womens' phone numbers. I had to wonder if we were in Rigby :). It made me a little homesick. It was a lot of good time spent getting to know them better and there is a Laurel conference this Sat. that one of my counselors is going to with the Laurels. The kids also enjoyed watching a water leak by the sprinkler box get fixed. The conractor had to dig four feet down to get to it and he had about six kids watching him and asking all sorts of questions. Abree wanted to get in there as well and screamed when I wouldn't let her get in the mud. We did a service raffle tonight where we get to pick what service we would like to do out of a list that people previously had written down and I chose to wash someones dog because the kids would love to do that. Although it may backfire and they may ask for a dog. I chose to have someone watch our kids for us to go to the temple. Happy Easter to all and we love everyone.

Today was busy once again full of school and errands. On Hanford Friday( Ken's Friday off from Hanford) there are always things for Ken to do on his day off. We both go to school and help with the teachers. Of course there is usually a Costco trip involved to get the things that only Costco has. I went to the temple with my friend Amy and it was neat to be in that temple. I had one more temple card to do for my family and now Ken and I just need to be sealed for her. I enjoy doing family names which means that maybe I should get on the family history. As if I am not busy enough. I would like to get into family history soon. Abree was just riding her bike with a phone to her ear. She has already learned to multitask. The weather has been great in the 50's and 60's which of course means outside time for the kids. The kids have a birthday party to go to tomorrow at the park. I hope the weather is warm. The kids go to school on Monday and then have the rest of the week off for parent teacher conferences. I hope the weather is nice because we can spend everyday outside and the kids will be happy.

windy

It is now windy and blowing the tumbleweeds back. I can't complain because the weather is still in the 50's. Sebrina and I are making cinnamon rolls. She is watching a movie while the dough is rising. We will go pick up the boys from school and come home to roll out the cinnamon rolls. We had Stake Conference yesterday and it was really good. The Sat. session was also excellent. I must say that I got a lot more out of that one then the Sunday one due to kids. Although almost every speaker talked on having clean hands and a pure heart. I am glad that I went to both still. We were able to suustain Pres. Monson so that was worth it to go on Sunday just for that. I am going with the Young Women to do baptisms tomorrow. I am excited to share this great experience with the Young Women. Yesterday, Cadin saw me drying my hair before church and he got on the counter and held the hair dryer while I round brushed my hair. My hair actually went the way I wanted it to. I have to admit that it was nice to have two hands to manuever the brush. I am sure Cadin will tire of doing it everyday, but maybe he will help out on Sundays. He is a character. His teacher at school says he has quite the imagination. Parent teacher conferences are in a couple of weeks and the teachers always say such good things about them. I look forward to them and so do the kids because they get to show Sebrina where they go to school. I am in their classes helping at least once a week so all of the other kids know me also.
