Hair be gone.....

Lou and Zeke got haircuts. Yes, I am the haircutter....I am too cheap to pay someone else to do it! I am getting better at it....learning as I go! I have 3 boys, I better learn sooner than later!

I left Lou's a little longer so I could spike it!

Zeke's is really short, perfect for summer!! (and for those Mom's, like myself, who don't comb hair!)

End Zone!

I went to a 101.9 End Zone. The featured artist was Matt Costa. No, I had not heard of him before. He is this skater dude that sings folky type music (like Jack Johnson). I went by myself, it was the last week of school and all my friends are mom's, you know how that goes! It was kind of cool.... he is the only sort of famous person I have ever met. I am lame.... and I look like a dork in the picture. No, I am not scared, the girl taking the pic just took so long.....

Lou don't cry....

Lou went to his 18 month check up. What a day! He cried the ENTIRE time. It all started when the nurse wanted to weigh him.... then when we stripped him down he about had a heart attack. The shots didn't help anything either.....

Poor Lou....

We got a half smile AFTER we were all done!

First day of summer.....

I still haven't downloaded my pics. Lazy, Lazy. I had a bunch of people over yesterday for a BBQ. I don't usually do stuff like that (I get so nervous for some reason asking people over?). I invited 5 couples and their kids over. Everyone came and it was so much fun. It was a crazy day however. I got up and went out to do some yardwork early. I spent 4 hours in my backyard pulling weeds. For those of you who have not seen my backyard it is tiered. So you have the top tier where the swingset is and then there are three tiers of planter boxes and then the bottom level where the tramp and BB court are. Well the 3 planter box tiers have not been weeded since we moved in. Yes, 3 years now.... I am still not done with one tier yet. I got all creeped out because of all the bugs and then stopped. I need to finish today. Ok, so then at about 12:00 I decided I better run to the store to get my stuff. I packed the kids in the car and we went to Walmart. I was looking totally hot.... I got home at about 2:45 from running my errands and then I had to bake my cake and make my salad. Then I had to set up the chairs and get my house picked up. I jumped in the shower at about 5:45 and was all ready before everyone came at 6:00. (hair wet, but fully clothed) Luke fell off a kids chair twice, yes 2 times and hit his head on the same sprinkler, both times in the same spot. He was bleeding all over, but it wasn't very deep so luckily we didn't have to take him to the doctor! Whew.... other than that I think it was a nice night. After everyone left I mopped my kitchen floor and the tile floor in the basement, wiped down my bathrooms, picked up all the toys and did the dishes. I got to bed about 11:45. I had to get up at 5:00 this morning to take the YM to the temple to do baptisms. I am now totally wasted. I already fell asleep on the couch once this morning.....not a good thing to do with an 18 month old wandering around. I think I might take the boys to the dollar theatre to see Horton Hears a Who. I need to do something that requires very little work today!!

Bored....

I should go down and download my pics but I don't like the basement when it's dark and I am home alone, I realize I sound like my 4 year old....yes, I am a wimp.

Jason went to a game nite in Farmington. I don't really get the concept of a game night, they sit around and eat junk food, drink lots of soda and play games like Risk. This does not sound like my idea of fun. Thus, the reason I am here on my couch blogging. My friend Sally was going to come over and watch a The Kiterunner with me but she was tired, she has been the drop in day care for friends and family for the last 3 days and when I called at 10:30 her niece and nephew had just left. So now I am sitting here watching the Late Show. I just watched the news, they did a thing on Spam, not the email version but the edible version. My ex mother in law used to make something called Spam vegetable bake......yes, it was as disgusting as it sounds. I didn't really pay attention to the story just that some restaurant was making lots of food with Spam. Yuck.....hope I don't happen on that restaurant anytime soon.....

I am rambling now...I think I will go to bed, I have been really tired lately for some odd reason.....too much reading??? Not enough exercise???Too much Dr Pepper???Too much chocolate??? Not enough vegetables??? Which one do you think?

Happy Birthday Tracey!

Happy Birthday Tracey! I hope you have a great day and a nice night out on the town with your hubby!!

Hello!

Ok, I realize I haven't blogged for a while..... I have been reading, what can I say!

On Friday, Jason's parents came down and took our family to dinner. It was nice to see them. On Saturday I suprised Jason for his birthday (Happy Birthday Babe!) and had my mom come up to watch the boys and we went to lunch and then to see Indiana Jones. He got a new grill for his birthday and I have to say I am excited about the prospects of him cooking dinner more.....hmmm.....

On Monday we spent the day looking for shades for our deck. Now that we have a nice grill, we wanted to make the deck more usuable. The shades block out the sunlight so it is much nicer to sit there in the evening! Now we just need to find some nice deck furniture and put in a fan and our deck will be perfect!

Oh yeah, summer is finally here! No more school! Yipee!!! I realize I may be eating these words in a couple of weeks but for right now I am thrilled!! No more carpool....no more getting up early.....no more ironing those dang uniforms....no more homework.....yeah!!!

I actually have pictures to post.... I just need to download them!! Maybe tomorrow????
