Picture Stealing

Spur of the minute week-end

Friday afternoon Stacy called me from the shop and said lets go to Twin to get posts from Dad. So I said o.k., called Bailey @ noon and told her to hurry home and we would go. So we left here around 4:30 and drove to Blackfoot where we met a guy who is going to fix our out to out air take on the Semi. This was awesome of him to meet us after hours. We dropped that off ate some supper at A&W and had yummy root beer in chilled mugs. We got to Hollister around 9:30. It was a fun week-end. Us girls went to town and picked up Bountiful Baskets and did some shopping. The boys took the kids (which was so fun for us). I was soooo excited found the most awesome deal at DI. A new Black and Decker Work Mate. I was so excited to give it to Stacy. I only paid $20.00! Katie also got a cool old metal bread box, can't wait to see what she will do to it that gives it new life. What color will it be???? I am still going to keep my eyes open for one for me. So cool. We also went to the fabric store and did some Christmas Shopping. Yes you heard me right, less than 4 months til Christmas. We also got to witness Macie and her brand new bike, so fun. Also Stockton is growing up so fast and he LOVES Stacy. It is so cute. They had great fun this week-end. The boys also went to Sportsman's and Wes bought a new gun, so they had fun too. Here goes all the pictures! Fun week-end.

August 25, 2010 First Day of School=Sophmore

Our baby driving to school, how did this happen?!

Bailey had a good first day of school. New principle appears to be a little odd, he wore yellow shoes and purple pants. The teachers said he wore orange shoes the other day. She said he seems like he is nice though. To each his own, right!

Too nervous to eat breakfast, yucky lunch, ate her chips only, came home and ate a whole box of macaroni and cheese. Organized her class information and supplies. This girl is amazing. Why doesn't she organize her mother and father. It was B day and she went to Study Skills, Spanish (which she is not excited about), English, and PE (excited about this class, sounds fun and she has it with Jess!)

A Day= Seminary, World Issues, Biology, and Algebra.

More of my random thoughts.......

I woke up this morning in a pretty good mood and was here in the house cleaning and you know the usual and also thinking about the last day before school starts. I have never been a mother that was excited to send my kids back to school. In fact it makes me really sad and I don't like it. Bailey read me a comment on Josh's facebook that made me really think and really SAD. Yesterday was his fist day back to school, he is the same age as Bailey (Sophomore) and he said that on his 20 minute bus ride to school he heard the f word 46 times. How sad. We were talking about this at lunch and our other nephew Justin was here with us and he made the comment that he heard at their youth conference that it is past the time that we just stand up for the right but that we must push back! It really scares me to think about all our youth and how strong they need to be in this world today. I know there are still lots of good but it just seems like the bad is more present anymore. I know we can't escape from it completely and that it is every where but I wonder when it will be time that we have to remove ourselves from things more. How we do this I am not sure but I think we will have to have a change from our regular way of thinking. Like what is more important in this life, change priorities, and not care what the other people of the world think of us. I don't think it will be easy but is anything easy in this life? Our families are so important and that is where we need to be is with our families and teach, teach, teach. And then teach some more. What a responsibility we have. I can't imagine how hard it is for our Heavenly Father to watch all of this that is happening today. I think of watching my kids and all of our nieces and nephews and how it is a worry and how you don't want them to lose their sweet innocence that they have as little children and how much we love them. We just have to try really hard and stay close with our Heavenly Father and be active in the gospel and things will be alright. We also need each other to help us in this journey. I am thankful for my wonderful kids and hope they know how much we love them and that we are here for them and would do anything for them. I am so proud of both of them and hope we have a great school year with Bailey. She is a strong spirit and will do good, I just wish it was easier for these good kids...........

Monday

Monday morning we woke up early and headed to IF to look for parts for the truck and then we went on to Pocky to the TMJ doctor. We met Katie, Grandma, and the kids there. It was so fun to see them. Stockton is changing so much just in the short 2 weeks since we have seen them. He is really starting to talk. It is fun to watch them grow. Macie is so excited to start school. How can that be. We ate at a Mexican place and went grocery shopping as Macie said to the craft store and then we headed back home and to pick up more parts. Then that night we took Bailey and Jessica to the movie in Victor. It was fun to watch  movie with a different genre than what we usually watch (chick flicks). It was Knight and Day and it was a action shoot em up kind of movie. It was fun.
