What am I going to do?

Well my camera has had an unfortunate accident. I don't know what happened but it is not working and I had lots of fun pictures to show of what we have been doing. Hopefully I can get it repaired soon and will be back on my way.

Friday we went to Rick's work party at the North Ogden swimming pool. It was really fun. It was a nice pool. The bottom was made up of some plastic stuff so it didn't tear up your feet. Then Saturday we went to an Ogden Raptor's game. Again free tickets from Ogden Regional. We lasted all of an inning or two before Alex was too much for one person to handle. But we had a fun journey.

Libby started school yesterday. Sunday she was all worried. She told me that she was certain that she wouldn't like her teacher Mrs. Reutzel, but Monday came and went and she changed her mind. Mrs Reutzel was going to be okay.

Rick also started back to school yesterday. He was not happy that he had to be there AGAIN, but you gotta do what ya gotta do. So everybody pray that we have an uneventful semester. I told him that I was going to fast all semester long till he was done. Oh yeah, pray for my camera, I feel funny with out it!

Yeah School is Back in Session

So I was trying to get a good picture of her for school and she kept giving me these really cheesy looks, as seen in the 2 above. Then I finally caught her with a more 'natural' smile instead of so 'posed'. The sepia one was purely accidental. So her first day was relatively uneventful, although Darian was up for teasing her, which made her feel bad.

He is just so happy in his bouncer and so darn cute I can't help but to take lots of pics of him.

I have an interview tomorrow with Weber State and I am so nervous. I really want this job, it has benefits. I don't think I'd know what to do with benefits. Wish me luck.

Hey Mom Look What I Can Do!

Not only are we getting new teeth but we are learning new tricks. I think he has been the only child of ours to roll over. I guess crawling is next. Maybe he'll just do the monkey scoot like everyone else.

What Do You Do In Your Spare Time?

Isn't he so HOT gluing the pipe!

The tractor dug maybe half of this hole. We dug the rest. Rick ended up hitting the line with the digging bar so we had to shut it off before we wanted. We had some angry farmers because it had to sit overnight. Oh well.

In case someone should think that we are bored, this should set the record straight, we are not! So we promised my mother that she could have grass by October and so she shall. So we have to run this 4" line like 1000 ft. It takes both of us to fit this pipe. I think we are 1/3 rd of the way done with just this line to get to her house. We haven't started her sprinklers yet. I am going to have to put in extra hours to get it all done.
Marcus wouldn't cooperate with me so I could take a picture, but he now has 3 teeth. After a few days of being held constantly, I finally figured out what was ailing him. He is definitely not a happy teether. Thanks to the manufactures' of acetaminophen he is now a more pleasant baby.

A Day Late, But We Did It

I know this is not a very good picture and some tend to think that maybe these numbers should be switched around but there is no mistake here.

This is sooo hot!!

Alex liked the picture of Rick with cake in his teeth sooo much that he wanted one of his own.

Yes Gussy is wearing lip gloss. Jorie was causing some gender confusion.

After Rick slept all day we decided to celebrate his birthday. The kids had to beg him to "let them eat cake" and he relented behind his half closed eyes at 8:30. But if you ask him he was watching the Rockies.

Happy Birthday To You, Happy Birthday To....Rick

We just want to wish Rick a happy birthday today. We love you!! Any way we have big plans for his birthday today. He went to work and I went to the cannery to turn these lovely beans into our food storage. Good times picking beans. I was very glad to be done at least with the picking part. Jorie came back from youth conf. on saturday. I don't think I've ever missed her so much. So life was good again. What am I going to do when she leaves and I still have all these little kids? Maybe I'll have it figured out then but somehow I hardly think so. I just had to add this cute picture of Marcus and those crazy blue eyes. Well those beans are not going to snap themselves.

Where Have I Been?

I had to beg Libby to come in. After this shot she ended up in her underwear. Who would've thunk she would stay in there so long.

So Monday we went to Tony Grove to say good bye to the Coles-Ritchies and there was this paddle boat that you can see in the background behind Libby. Someone says hey this paddle boat is here all the time go ahead and take it out. Three or four families take this paddle boat out. My kids take this paddle boat out and this family comes along and this perturbed man says I want my paddle boat back. He was giving them the glare down. Poor Jorie! Any way the boat had been sitting there for a couple of hours so I didn't really feel bad. As popular as that place is and he expects it to sit there untouched for hours? So they resorted to the huck finn raft seen above.

Bad choice, I let Marcus eat this whole casco. I paid for it the rest of the night!

Jorie went to youth conference today. Sad day for me. I lost my baby sitter. I guess that means I have to be the mom. They went to Price and it sounds like they are going to have lots of fun. I know what you are thinking, Don't you have to be 14?, But since we only have 3 young women they decided to let them go. I didn't realize it had been so long since I posted. But I will catch up with lots of pics!!
