12 and stuff

Jake turned 12.  We decided to go skiing in McCall because the kids can ski for free and Lee likes to ski with his dad once year.  Okay he would love to do it more then once a year however not really practical. 

We drove up to McCall on his birthday which I felt wasn't the most excited way to spend the day.  But he did get out of school early and opened his gifts before we left town 

He made the decision to have his birthday dinner and cake with his grandfather and aunt the following day.  Which didn't quite happen.  I baked the angel food cake the night before.  It over flowed and made a mess of the oven  (so glad it wasn't ours) .  Then when it was cooling upside down it fell off the counter on to the floor and although it still tasted good (according to Lee and the kids) it no longer looked like a cake.

 So then I asked Lee to get one from the store. So after skiing  he  came back with another mix.  I was annoyed.  But I cooked it and then Lee turned off the oven.  So then it took forever to cook and the cake fell.  So Lee's dad and sister weren't able to be there for the cake which was the whole point of doing it in McCall a day after the birthday.  But we all enjoyed it

Overall a great weekend.  Kids had so much fun at the condo swimming, playing in the snow and the older kids enjoyed skiing. 

The following weekend despite my protests Jake was ordained a Deacon.  Still struggling with it.  But, it is what it is.

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...
