We Have Arrived!

Ok this is going to be a short post as I am freaking tired & my feet are sooooo swollen, way too much sitting time today. But we got here at 8:20 est, I watched a lame movie on the plane- Blades of Glory- I could have done without that movie....... Interestingly enough it's a Will Ferrell Movie and lately I have thought all his movies are S.T.U.P.I.D.!! And this is another one to add to the freakishly dumb movie pile. Maybe I just haven't been in the right mood for his movies. I don't know.... I do find that happens sometimes. Everyone says a movie is great & I watch it and think ehh not so much, but I digress. Well need to go put my feet up (aka I get a foot rub) so I will talk to you all tomorrow. Pictures may be posted so keep a watch out! Goodnight!

P.S. The Humidity may kill me.......:)

Edited 7/16/07 I remembered the one Will Ferrell movie that I like---Elf---Thanks for the reminder Rebecca!

Packing

So Lloyd & I are leaving early tomorrow morning to go to Cincinnati Ohio/Georgia! Sounds like a party! I haven't packed a thing yet but it shouldn't take me too long as I only have 2 outfits I can wear right now. So on our way to Boise in the morning we or shall I say I am going to be a sabbath breaker and go visit an Old Navy to find a few extra maternity items to wear.

I am hoping to keep my blog updated as we are on our trip, Lloyd is taking the laptop so I can download all I want. So you will all get to see our fabulous "HUMID" trip as it happens. Should be a fun hot week!

Feeling Blah

Today I am feeling very blah...... Things that are not helping are -- Being so extremely hot with swollen feet/everything, feeling tired all day (again the heat) the kids being bored out of their minds, but don't want to go out in the 99+ degree weather & I don't blame them, & I have been trying to clean the house the only thing I got done today was vacuum the living room and all the blinds & do the dishes. Oh & went to Jentry's soccer game it was nice and warm out. Those poor soccer playing kids!

I am trying to get everything prepared as my mom should be here on Saturday to watch the kids for the week (bless her) because Lloyd and I are leaving early Sunday morning to fly to Ohio (for work meetings) then on Wednesday we will rent a car and drive the 6+ hours to Georgia to visit his brother Mike & his family and we will come home on Saturday the 21st.

So here is a list of things I should be doing but am not because I feel blah, tired, & hot.

1. Packing up our clothes
2. Grocery shopping for the week we are gone
3. Doing laundry
4. Washing and changing all sheets (it's time)
5. Cleaning the bathroom (I hate this job)
6. Moping the floors
7. Dusting everything
8. Making a meal menu
9. Typing up the kids schedule for the week
10. Making up some meals to freeze

I am sure there are more things that I have forgotten about but, I sure it will come to me eventually. So cheers to my blah slump! I hope I am better tomorrow.

{ A Date with Jentry! }

Well, Jentry & I decided to go and see the new Harry Potter movie today. We dropped the other 3 kids off at my friends Melissa's and went off on our Mom/Son date. It's nice to be able to do something with each of your children on an individual basis. He enjoyed the movie and I did too. I thought they did a good job with it. I would recommend to friends if you're a Harry Potter fan that is. Anyway was nice to get out of the heat for 2 1/2 hours & we had a great time. Thanks, Melissa I owe ya one.

{ It's Hot In Mexico }

Yeah, it's way too warm here! 
The temperature is supposed to be between 96-101 today & it's supposed to be this hot for a while. I hate the heat especially right now - can you say swollen feet? 
I decided to try and Visually cool off by looking at pictures of our trip to Mexico this past February. Someday I promise I will post our vacation......

The 1st photo is our view of the ocean from our room. The other photos are the massive hotel we stayed in and the beach. 
Ixtapa Zihuatanejo Mexico isn't looking so bad right about now.......

{ A MUGSHOT }

Seriously why are my kids always better for someone else? 
I have yet to figure that out, but when I do........ 
Anyway this past weekend has been a long one. 
Kids have been fighting & a ton of tattle telling has transpired, so much that I am ready to commit some sort of "Stay At Home Mom" crime. 

I hope this week goes better, our soccer games officially start this evening at 6:00 so maybe it will help that they will be able to run off some of their "negative energy". 
We shall see...

{ Celebrating the 4th of July 2007 Style! }

So we may not be the most fun of parents but we did try to have a little fun on the 4th. Lloyd ended up laying flooring for his Aunt & Uncle as it was the only time he had available (how sad is that? & thanks Brent for helping) Anyway we had lunch with Aunt Maxine and Uncle Vic & our Cousins Brent & Donna & their 4 boys, then we took the kids swimming, let the kids play outside although Jentry was hiding out in the basement with the Nintendo to beat the heat :). Then being the faithful Mormon Families that we are, we had more food via la' BBQ. 
Then we set off fireworks in the driveway just about the same time the battery on my camera decided to die. But having homemade Huckleberry ice cream made up for the fact the camera was DOA. 
After the bag o' fireworks were gone we went up to the Stake Center and sat on the lawn and watched as the "big" fireworks were set off. It turned out to be a fun day & we were glad that we were able to spend some time with family on the 4th!

{ The Ultrasound Tech Said }

Yes that is what the tech said- Well more along the lines of 
"I think it's a girl, I can't seem to find any boy parts so I say it's a girl". 
So I guess for now we are having a girl. 
Can you tell I am still in a bit of denial?

It would be so nice for Brinley to have a little sister heaven knows she has paid her dues having 3 brothers. Anyway just thought everyone or the 2.75 people who actually read my blog should know that "It's a girl" is what we found out today. (maybe)

{ T-Minus 4 Days! }

Forgot to add earlier that our Ultrasound is this coming Thursday, we are looking forward to seeing what we are having. Although knowing our "luck" the baby will be hiding it's gender. 
Oh and Jentry has finally answered the question as to what he thinks we are having and he says it's a girl only for the convenience factor, he says it would be too much to share his room with another boy & if Brinley had a sister she wouldn't "bug" them as much, as she would have someone to play with. Boys are funny!

P.S. Oh I just sent an email to various family and friends to let them know of this blog and some of you may be surprised to know that we are having another baby. 
WE WERE JUST AS SURPRISED AS YOU MIGHT BE NOW! 
I am so going to be getting some phone calls after this email gets sent..... :) Have a great week!

{ A way too sleepy boy }

Oh this poor boy! 
We have been on the go so much lately that Corbin finally collapsed while eating some lunch. 
I know what kind of lunch is a bagel with cream cheese & a capri sun? Hey it's what the kids wanted and I was tired so you get what ya get! 
And yes he is still wearing his pajama's, it was one of those days, I got him dressed......... eventually. :)
