This has been such a FUN week! And it's been so super busy. Savanna and Camryn and my mom stayed at my house while the other slept at Tessa's. Seriously I just want to adopt Deidra's kids. I LOVE them so much and they are such good, awesome kids. Really polite and sweet with my kids and ready to help me with anything I ask of them. I never really wanted to have boys after I started having girls but after a week with Christian and Camryn I really want some of my own.

One day we went to seven peaks and I actually got to ride some of the slides there because my mom and everyone was so great about playing with my kids and watching them for me. It can be really hard for me to let others watch my kids while I do something for myself, I hate to be the one who is always poning my kids off on someone. They are mine and my responsibility. And I feel like when you have kids you need to make sacrafices and most of the time put myself on the back burner. But it's really nice when every once in a while I give in and let others help.

One day we had filled a bunch of water balloons and hid waiting for Deidra, Tessa, Ian and Christian to come over... we all had fun doing that except the ones who got hit! We also went up to Bridal Veil Falls twice. Once to just see the falls and once for the big boys to long board down the canyon. I was so happy when one day we found a garage sale (first one I went to all summer) and I found such awesome crap! For seven buck I got 3 head bands for the girls, new curtains for Lexi's room, the book Sleeping Beauty, and an adult sized snow white costume for me! This lady had so much stuff and is having her 'actual' sale this Saturday and I'm totally going back!

We went to Lagoon one day and my kids have never been there and they thought it was Disneyland! I wasn't going to go because of the cost of it all but my mom was so sweet to offer to pay for TJ and I to get in. TJ was the best sport because he flew in that morning from Chicago and drove straight to Lagoon and met us there. It was such a GREAT day! My kids have never been so well behaved and never once was I stressed or did I yell. There were no lines for the rids and the girls were in heaven running from ride to ride. Lexi was a angel and never had a fit or melt down and was happy all day even though there were no naps and never really lunch or dinner just snacks here and there.

Me and TJ were able to go on some rides alone and I even went on the sky coaster with Tessa and Camryn. Love that ride, such a rush. We didn't leave that night until almost 9pm. It was awesome and I absolutly want to go back next summer!

I got to run one day with Deidra and Justin which was fun and Deidra helped me to get out of the "I hate running" rut I was in. I ran 15 miles (extremely slow) with Becky on Saturday and I think now I'm starting to like it again. I do have the Timpanogas half to run this Saturday so I hope by then I will get stoked and ready to give it my all.

Everyone got the flu bug while they were here (starting from me from when I had it last week).

Deidra, Justin, Brightyn, Ian, Tessa, and my mom got it and I'm sure the others will soon enough. I feel bad. I'm sad they had to leave because I know my nieces and nephews will grow so much before I see them again.

Today was a hard, sad day at church. It was the last Sunday before they split the ward and I will be released from 1st Councelor in the Relief Society. I have been in there 3 years and have really come to love my calling. I am also really afraid of change and there are going to be new callings and a lot of change. I really loved my Relief Society President Jolene Benson. I have learned so much from her and I will really miss working with her.

This is SOOO Justin! Being goofy as always.
