The end is near

It has been a long week.  Super long.  On Monday and Tuesday the kids and I went to Utah.  Saw the new Ogden temple which was amazing and disappointing all at the same time, swam in the hotel pool and slept in the most comfy bed other.  Then on Tuesday we went to temple square.  Kids had a great time learning about the temple they loved the model and statue of Christ.  But....Tuesday morning around 1:00 am Andrew woke up running a fever and has been miserable since.  He is way better then he was Tuesday and Wednesday but is still a super grouch which is unlike Andrew. But he is near the end of the sickness.Whatever it was.  Last night he slept 14 hours.

The end of summer is near.  One more week.  One week from tomorrow night we will be putting the final touches on back to school stuff.  I am sad.  Sad we didn't do enough this summer, sad that they are going back, sad because I am going to miss them.  Sad that no matter how much I pray about it homeschooling isn't for us.

The end of my stay at home days are coming to an end.  On Monday I will have an official offer from a local hospital. I start September 8th. After three interviews with different people every time they must have liked me because they said I had the job but due to some dumb thing they can not give an offer until Monday.  I am so thrilled about this job.  I truly believe that God has been preparing me for this moment for five years.  There are too many decisions that were made that took me to this exact spot this exact job that makes me know beyond a doubt that I was guided.  Even though at the time it didn't make any sense. 

The end of the no kid activity summer is over.  We didn't even do swimming lessons which were originally  part of the plan.  Dance starts Tuesday and then Monday starts soccer. Then after soccer is over we will start  swimming lessons.  I think it is super important for Victoria more then Jake but I will sign them both up.

The end of Luke's babiness is coming to an end.  He is trying to pull himself up and stand.  He is way more ambitious then our other kids.  Even Jake who was on super speed.  It is sad. I want to keep him little.  He is the last and I don't want him to grow up.  EVER!!!

The beginning is here.  Lee's baby sister had a baby.  Of all of his siblings who had a baby this year it is the only girl.  Wonder how that will play out in a few years.  I am excited and nervous for her all at the same time. 

The pics of the summer should be up soon/  Maybe one night when Lee is gone.  bike trip is in 12 days and I am really stressed about it.  I always worry but this one is different way different.  I am debating going to Kamiah for Labor Day weekend.  Pros and Cons of going and staying. 

I guess is the all the ends for now.

Here is what we have been up to for the past couple of weekends,  Jake had his first soccer game.  Shawn came to visit.  Lee got a new RC truck that he loves and so do the kids.  They spend the weekend chasing the truck which totally wore them out.  We did some gardening.  Victoria and I went to Weiser to a baptism of one of my previous foster kids.  It was so great to see the family again.  I really miss seeing them on a monthly basis.  We played newspaper tag with Shawn and Demitri. Grandma Gina and Grandpa Don stopped by for a little while on their way home.  Oh yea and the primary had a bug day where the kids dressed up like bugs.  Victoria was a butterfly and Jake was a bee.  I  have four more days left of the semester.  Lee is in Kamiah this week to spend some time with Shawn before basic as well as some other things.

Time to dust this off

L:ong story short I came across something that made we want to add back to this. Not sure why but hwere we go. Life is constantly chaning and I feel so mnuch surround bu death lately. Not diredctly although I fee like that is coming but more just heartbreak for so many around me. Yesterday Victoria quailfied for state. It was an answer to a prayer. I prayed she would qualify and felt strongly she would. As we left her away at the meet she was certain as were we that she hadn't qualified and then the clouds parted and she will be able to run. She told me she prayed that she would have a good last high school race. and her last race was not grea. There were tears. And rears when she called me to tell me she qualified. So rad trip to ther side of teh state next weekend Wednesday Jake is going through the temple. So many mixed feelings for so many reasons. I shouldn't expect people to show up but sometimes it is just so hard when my mom is the only "church...

A Little COVID Update

SO what have been up to. Lots of nothing COVID sent me into a huge mess of depression and anxiety that I have slowly been getting through thanks to medication. The medications have made me a much better mom and wife. We spent a week with Lee's family at his family reunion last week. There was so many good fun times but there was also some frustration where Lee and I felt like we were the built in babysitters and people kept just leaving their children with us. I tried to be compassionate but sometimes it is hard. We are thankful for all the great memories we had, older kids got to go to Lagoon with their cousins which was fabulous despite snide comments about how much we make and what we can afford. We are thankful for Lee's brother and family hosting and always for the generosity of Lee's dad and Gina. And Lee's cousin took amazing pictures Jake got his permit and overall isn't such a bad driver just inexperienced. Marching band sort of kind of was cance...
