Gratefulness

While playing around with blogspot, I noticed a post I had started and never actually got done, (story of my life). Well, after the lesson today in Sunday School, I thought I had better get it done. It's from the beginning of the summer and I hope he reads this himself knows how much I do appreciate him and all he does for us.

I'm so thankful for all my husband does for me, I mean us. This week he dug us a fire pit (although he was informed at our first fire, it was the wrong kind of fire - thanks Justin.) He even made benches. He has been doing so much work around the house, even when he's tired. I hope I tell him enough how much he is appreciated and loved. So, just in case I don't, I love you honey!!!PS We've had some good family talks around this fire pit as well as some magnificent s'mores.

Soccer

My kids have loved Sugar City soccer this year! They've learned a lot of skills, had lots of energy and enjoyed their teammates. Their coach, Derek Rhoton, has been awesome, praising every moment he can. Justin has declared, "This is my favorite sport." That's great by me. He even played while being under the weather a couple of times. Even though it's kind of a pain twice a week to get the games on time and have homework etc done before games, I'm kind of sad it's almost over. Gooooo TEAM!

It's Finished at Last




This has been a long summer while working for Walmart. Alan has not been home much and when home very stressed. The store finally got its much needed face-lift since it's original grand opening a lot of years ago. Retail is already high-stress but add to it many extras and it's just plain nuts. But now it's finally done, yeah and Alan got a week off of work (well that work but all we did was work at home too). Alan was in charge of the re-grand opening stuff. I think he did a mighty fine job.

The kids and I went that morning to support our dad in his job and I think they're glad they did for the cake at 8:00 in the morning and a chance to climb into a Walmart big rig and honk the horn.

Pheww! What a day!

It's 10:00pm and I'm glad I can officially say I'm done for the day. If most days I feel like I have no energy or show that in what I get done, today was not one of those days.

I picked raspberries, made a batch of jam, fed kids, did dishes, did some laundry, defrosted the freezer, made bread (nothing better than warm bread and fresh jam), made a dessert, fed kids again, did dishes again, met with Qwest to see what is wrong with the phone...again, went to town, had s'mores in the fire pit and somewhere in there thank goodness I had a shower. What a day!
