IRONIC??

OK so yesterday I ran for 60 minutes, burned 666 calories and went 16 laps according to my treadmill???? Interesting hmmmm. I wasn't shooting for devil numbers or anything (or is he seven)? It just ended up that way. You were right Kandice if you can make it to three miles :) you do get a new burst of energy, and I just felt like go go going all day long.. I mowed, and watered the grass, weeded, and watered the garden. On top of all the other things I do every other day like laundry, beat oops i mean feed kids, clean kids, dress kids, clean up after kids. then repeat. And To make it sound even better I have horrible allergies and sinus pressure right now. I hope that I can keep this up cause I want to loose 30 lbs :/ So on top of the exercise I am also trying to watch what I eat better and portions as well. It's also a very motivating thing when your husband tells you your starting to get pudgy :{ I need to get a high school picture of me to look at cause it's happened so slowly I don't really notice it until I look back at, I wouldn't say skinny pictures but, thiner pictures ':|

Cherry Creek

Our Best Family members invited us to go camping this last weekend and after a couple hours of going to different camp sites and finding them FULL we finally found what I thought was a GREAT! spot, that I have never been, up CHERRY CREEK. There were lots of four wheeler trails to ride the four Wheelers. (As I was just typing the above Carson came in and Said MOM! What does that say Don't put Windser on sale!!)

Windser is cute isn't he? He possed so cute for this picture. He also likes to ride on the four wheelers. He doesn't like to be left alone so we brought him along. We almost left him when we stopped on one of our rides and he had to swim across the river ; \
Here is sweeet Clay :) He is just getting used to riding his big wheel motor cycle. He is one of Carson's favorite cousins.
Lance on the back another favorite cousin. Then never stopped riding this little four wheeler.
Our camp and cute little trailer that we pulled all the kids in when we would go for four wheeler rides.
Trace is such a ham he loved getting dirty he wasn't sure about camping he kept saying Go home, Go Home?And he would hold his hands out. Dayne now on the other hand cried for probably an hour in the night because he was out of his routine and did NOT like that at all. He has still got ear infections so we'll blame it on that instead. He is also cutting another tooth so he's been little mr. Grumpy the last few days. All in ALL in was a GREAT time! We got to ride the four wheelers through rivers and over rocks, through the mud. The kids were just having a ball and even Dayne was ok with it, most rides he would just fall asleep. Best of all I got a tan on my arms! YAAY for Summer!!!

Becoming OCD

I am getting Obssesive Couponing Disorder! Just went last night to a couponing class to figure out how these ladies are saving all this money with coupons?? I've never been able to do what they do, But It all makes sense now!! This is with only a max of fifteen minutes on the computer and normal time in the grocery store as well. I also have a slight connection to get extra coupons, "My friend" delivers the herald Journal and some sundays they have extras!! BONUS!!!! I can't believe she doesn't coupon but if she hooks me up I will make it worth her while :) So you want all the info don't you? The web site is grocerysmarts.com and the pass code is g84cac then find the store you want to shop at in the drop down bar. Everything with four or five stars is the best deals with your coupon, select the items you want cut your coupons and wall-a! you just got finish dishwasher detergent for .80 cents!!! You must subscribe to the paper to get your coupons the herald journal will give you five sunday papers, every sunday for $18 per month. Which will pay for itself the first time you go shopping!! You can also Become friends with Alison Anderson on Facebook as the Coupon Gal and you can ask her any questions on there.

Ok on to other news, We will be getting our water back today!!!! I feel like it's Christmas!! At least this time is was only two weeks and not two months without water Also only $ 240 instead of 2,000 like the first time. Austin is so handy and most times it saves us a ton of money. Also I am on my twentieth consecutive day running on the treadmill for 30 minutes!! I thought the other day while running how frustrating it is to not be able to get skinny faster

=/ but then I thought well it's taken me seven years and three babies to gain this thirty pounds? Can I really expect it to shrink off in one month. (It be nice though wouldn't it) I at-least need to try to stick to a workout routine for nine months and see if i'm happier with my results then. Ultimately I need to just make it a part of my lifestyle and learn to love it, but at this point I HATE it!! Another thing I am so excited for is I have been asked to help with a dance routine for the Little Miss Franklin Pageant. That is going to be so fun to teach cute little girls a dance for the pageant held during Idaho Days Festival on June 25th.

Dayne will be eleven months in four days!! My little man is growin to fast! I really love him and he is so fun right now. he just loves his daddy. When Austin gets home he wont take his eye off of him, and if I put him down he crawls right to him and climbs up his leg for dad to pick him up. Then he'll take his binki and try to share it. He only does this to Austin though it's so precious. Dayne has been the only one that has taken this kind of liking to his dad. Trace and Carson were both mama's boys at this age. I would defiantly love a little girl, but I am really lovin the idea of being able to go back to work in only five more years?? Who knows what life will bring, but I am excited for whatever my father in heaven has in store for me. Ok one last thing have you played JUST DANCE I think I LOVE it!!

Down at a hot springs

Carson Being out of school and home all day is taking a toll on me. He constantly picks at Trace which makes them fight, which makes me yell, and I don't like to yell. I don't like confrontation. So I had a mental breakdown and thought maybe if I cry they will believe me so I did........ it didn't work. When I came back into the room Trace said " are ya done?" Little stink! So I need ideas of thing to occupy these wild boys or I might go CRaZy! I might need some parenting lessons??

Today to burn off some energy we took them Downata Hot Springs! They had a blast! Trace loved the slides. He clings to you like a cat when he gets in the water with you. Carson was having a blast jumping off the edge he can go under without pluggin his nose, I've never been able to : / I think I'm going to put him in swim lesson one more year. Dayne was confused at first and crying a little. By the time we left he was splashin and kickin water all over he loved it. They are all sleeping now, love how swimming makes you so tired and hungry. Maybe we'll have to make recent trips to the lake this summer.

One Wish

If I had one wish it would be that no one knew of my husbands talents but me:) I am very seriously grateful that Austin is talented in so many ways. A lot of the time his boys and I don't get the time we need with him cause he is so talented and always helping others. Some times though he is just bored and has to do something with his time, but he needs that time to do the things he wants to do. I just would love to do more together as a family. Thems my thoughts for today.

WATER!

I just had to go in and look at some of the pictures of the floods happening in mississippi, mostly to make myself feel like my water problems are nothing compared to these people. Our water has been acting up since November and now there is none....... Sunday is the last day we had water? I don't know if you've ever had this problem but let me just tell ya with a 2 yr old and a 11 month old were going through wet wipes like CraZy!! Luckily we have Austin's Parent's Close by to go use there shower and Laundry, but that gets old QUICK!

Austin had figured out that we do have water, our pump is under fifty feet of water at the bottom of our well. Which is GOOD! Something is wrong with the pump that pumps the water to our house. SO we have to get a well driller out here to pull the pump up from 280 ft down into the earth to see what is wrong with it, at 90 bucks an hour. Good thing we've got all this rain so I can go get some money from my money tree for all this :) Somethings in life are so frustrating. When Austin came to me in Laramie and said I found some land to build our house on. IF I could have looked into the future and seen that we were going to have to spend a couple thousand dollars every five years to have water....... I would have said no!! Now were stuck cause we love our ward and neighbors, and I know it's not the prettiest when you drive by in a flash but we have grown to love the unique land we live on. Not that we wouldn't sell for the right price =) Ok I will get off my soap box now and go to bed.
