Busy Fun

The last few weeks have been busy and fun. My SIL Jessie came to visit from Iowa for two weeks with her twin boys. The house was full of dirty dishes, toys, laughter, some tears, and lots of fun. We had a day that all the family got together and WORKED. My mom was getting a new roof and since it was her 60th birthday...and because we love her...we pulled off all the shingles to prepare for the roofers. It was a huge job and pratically everyone wo could was on the roof helping. It went really well and we got it done in a day. The kids loved playing in the leaves while we worked and riding in the BIG dump truck. (although Molly really wanted to join us on the roof) We had a fun star trec theamed party for mom on Sunday.

With cousins here we have done everything from painting pumpkins, building candy haunted houses, picking and bottling apples, a few trips to McDonalds, music class, and PLAY.

One morning I came in the family room to find this...they all found their own box of cereal and made themselves at home.

Puzzles and Bikes

I know it has been a while. I used to post weekly. Now, weakly?!? My life has just not been too exciting to post about. Just still working on potty training...still trying to sell the house...still looking for a house here...still canning the harvest...still trying to exercise. Not too much else. But I did take these super cute pics. of Molly the other day. Firts is the one on her new bike. (a potty training prize) She really likes it, but only peddles when it is downhill or very flat. If there is the slightest hill she reverts back to pushing with her feet.

New obsession. Puzzles. Molly will do them everyday. And she is really good at them. She did tell me the other day, "Mom, lets go to Logan and do music with my friends." So, I have been busy getting ready to start Music Makers here in Price. I am excited at the ideas that seem to be coming to my brain. We will see how it goes.

This weekend was general conference. A wonderful spiritual feast. So needed. So thankful for. It is hard to not feel overwhelmed at all I need to improve on. One step at a time...right? I enjoyed speding time with my brothers family between sessions and making a doll cake for my friend Julia's birthday...actually her 4 year old daughters. I also did some scrapbooking this weekend and picked up the quilt I started months before the move to work on it again.
