Weekend

Saturday morning we were kind of upset about some personal circumstances, so we decided to go do something fun to get our minds off of things. We invited Rex and Patty, some friends from our ward, and their baby Eli, to go swimming with us at Green Canyon. They drove, since they have a vehicle who can fit everyone. It was really fun. Lindsay loves to swim and she hasn't got to go yet this summer. She scared us when she would get too far away from us though. I actually preferred the deep end just so I could hold on to her. Daniel wasn't too sure about the whole thing, but Eli loved it! It was good to get away for a little while. We ate dinner at JB's afterwards, which was really good. That night we were all really tired, and I was starting to not feel good.

Sunday morning I felt okay again. Josh went and did shuttles since he missed it on Saturday, so I took the kids to church by myself. That was the first mistake. Lindsay was acting awful in Sacrament meeting. Her nursery leader came and sat by us, and that did help, although it was kind of embarrassing. After church I was tired from hauling the two kids in and out, and I really didn't feel good. I pretty much spent the rest of the day in bed. Josh got home about 3 and made dinner and did the dishes. I hate being sick! Today I am finally feeling a little better.

Josh is in Rock Springs through tomorrow night, and when he gets home he has scouts, so it's just the kids and I for two days. I'm trying to keep the house cleaned and both kids fed and happy. I have pictures of us swimming, but the camera is still in the bag that Josh took on his road trip. So, I'll get them loaded later.

My birthday party with Josh's family was really fun. It was at his parents house. We had cake and ice cream, and everyone came except Jon and Steve, who were working. Josh's cousins Linda and Christie were here from Washington, and his friends Jeremy and Jess also came. Josh's parents got me gift certificates to JCPenney and Bath and Body Works. I've been instructed to spend it on myself and not the kids. So, that'll be fun. I want to get some sort of nightgown and a pair of shorts or capris, since I don't have either one. And, from Bath and Body Works I'm going to get bubble bath, lotion and hand soap. I love that store! Josh's brothers and their wives got me a Xyron machine. It's for scrapbooking, and it turns anything into a sticker. That'll be fun to try, too! It was a great party.

My parents are on vacation to see my brother in Illinois this week. We really wanted to go, but just really couldn't afford it. I wish we could have though. I love my nieces and nephews and it would have been really nice. My brother from Las Vegas is also flying up there. My niece is getting baptized Saturday. I hope they have fun!
