Crazy Kamiah Week

Kids had a great time this week playing with cousins and meeting new ones this week. There were 11 kids and five in diapers. The oldest one being 11.  I was able for the most part keep my mouth shut.  Although if we would have stayed another day I am not sure that I would have been able to.  Lee and I really discussed how many days we wanted the kids to miss of school.  In the end we felt like in a year it wouldn't matter that they missed four days of school but, they would remember the trip. (we aren't totally unreasonable) We would have stayed through Monday but I had to work today.  There some pretty frustrating moments especially after Lee left.  I so wish he could have stayed.  Kids had caramel apples learned to play Five Crowns (now they want it for Christmas) they did tons of four wheeling, hot tubing and Jake chopped wood.  Not as much as he would have liked.  My father in law and sister in laws went to a cemetery to take some pictures which was nice. 

This week did make me resolve to do several things. 
1) Stay off the computer
2) Spend more time with my kids
3) lose some weight or at least work out
4) Be more compassionate ( to look for those small moments to help)

I am glad we got to go.  The house seems super quiet with the little boys napping and older kids at school.  I am so glad the older kids don't have school on Monday.  But I am looking forward to getting the house back under control next week. 

I didn't take as many pictures as I wanted thanks to Lee leaving two days before me.  Once I got home and Lee told me some things that were said I laughed.   Some times you either laugh or cry.  Family is crazy but sometimes it is all you've got.

Feeling all the Feels

Right now I am feeling all the feels. We had such a great week with my nephew and Jake. The house is louder and has more enegy when all four kids are home. And our nephew is seriously one of favoriate people. He lets the boys hand on him and they just look up to him so muchd. So I am writting because I am not sure what else to do at this pount. I have been applying for a job(s) that I have been inspired to do for a long time. I have been really trying to to step upside of my comfort zone and apply for things that I know I can do although I have never done them before. I have been considering doing some writing and writing a book. I have no desire to be published I just want to be able to start being more creative . I have so many fears about so many things. Missy Kay turned 19 today and Andrew had his first tennis meet of the seaon. I am thankful for my people who show up to support and love us. There was this moment at the meet where one of the parents gave me haug aft...

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...

It has been a week

Here is how the week went Monday: OUr 25th anniversary. I was sick. We went and tried a Cuban restrant not as good as the food we had in Miami but it was good. We love trying new local places. It ended in tears. I won't go into all the details but I am relaizing that this is not the marriage I want. I am open about what I need and we will go from there. Luke started wrestling. Tuesday: End of the year banquent for Luke and Andrew. Luke recevied the "Most Improved" Awared. Here is the thing about that. His coach talked about how during summer practice he wouldn't even run 100 yeards. He would just stop. At some point after the first meet it clicked and he just ran and did what he needed to do. He went up adn accepted the award with such confidence. Wednesday: Both boys had activities. Andrew had stayed home from school due to not felling wel. My guess is he just needed a rest. He was feeling up for going and making pizzas at the Bishop's hous...
