Archivers With The Girls September 24, 2007
Here are some cute cards- they have examples of cute cards all over the store. I guess I took this picture sideways??? I can't get it to turn.
After we got there I looked around & realized that all of us are in my card club. I am having serious guilt that I didn't invite the rest of card club. What was I thinking?
After that we went to lunch at Brick Oven. Megan doesn't work there anymore after Friday. She got a new great job that starts today.
CONGRATULATIONS MEGAN -I am so proud of her!
She was busy doing homework & going to classes so she couldn't join us. I left her a package on her bed. Do you think she might find it?
Hey people she is a full time student, R.S. president, Tony's girlfriend, etc., etc. I'm sure this is not the usual room,(do you think she will speak to me after this?!)
Well, as my mother will probably comment- she comes by it naturally. I was such a sloppy kid. The only reason why my room didn't look like this in college was because all of my roommates were neat gals. I was on my best behavior hoping they wouldn't kick me out.
Good news- I grew out of it- there is hope for you mothers out there with the same issue.
Later that night for FHE we had pizza on Chloe's bedroom floor~
What? Yes folks- pizza on Chloe's bedroom floor because today...
THE CARPET COMES.
I am so excited!

And Baby Makes Seven!
Here's the picture you really want to see.

What a blessing~he is soo precious~ and he doesn't have a name yet.

What a handsome baby boy!
Proud cousin Jack.

A Big Part of My Life~ Volunteer Work
I am so thankful our family has never needed to stay here.
I went straight to work after that with Brian the missionary in waiting & thought I would grab a picture of the -not sick him- while I had a chance. I walked in- there he was- he saw my camera- ran.
COWARD!
Here is us eating lunch. Picture by Linda!
I have two more service projects this year. Collecting winter coats/clothes for kids in our school district who need them & a Holiday food drive for the same kids. Like I said I love volunteering. I will post on how the other two projects go when we do them.

All Better
Just thought I would post & let you know in case you were worried.
Brian's fever- gone must have been strep not mono! Or some kind of fever virus. Just glad it's over, for now.

Busy Days
This morning- just after everyone left for school- I heard the lock turn on the front door. Jack was back- naucious. Hailey walked in this afternoon "achy." Chloe has a headache.
Max did get a haircut though- itsn't he cute?
I recycled tons of paper & card board. Looks like I need to make a new sign.
This afternoon the girls have piano group classes.
(do you think I need a new windshield?)
Hailey will want to kill me when she sees I snuck in a picture of her.
I am trying to help chloe with her math homework before her class, but she is really crabby about it so I am not going to take a picture.

Lagoon Day
Dinner was fun. Hamburgers, hot dogs, ribs, chicken, etc.
Plus all the ice cream treats you want!
One of Trent's personal favorites!
And here is Trent maneuvering a bumper car.
Trent has been bragging for the last week about how he was going to go on all the scary rides & even jump off them and climb down like spider man- especially the new ride "Wicked." (boys?)
As soon as he saw Wicked- while still in the parking lot- he started to get scared. He said it was "too wicked" and he was not going on that. But there were other scary rides. He went on & on bragging. Well, here we are on the paratrooper (not very scary-compared to what he had been talking about) & he was terrified.
I am such a jerk, I could not stop laughing. I kept giving Brett the thumbs up sign - asking how he was doing & Brett kept giving me back the thumbs middle to down sign back. Honestly it was so funny. He came off the ride, ran over to me, threw his arms around my neck and started to cry. Poor kid. He was trying to be so big.
