Weekend with the family

Last weekend my cousin's son got baptized and it was the first weekend my aunt and uncle had been on this continent for a while so we all got together for a fun family lunch. Here is a picture of all of the girls that were there. I think this is all of grandma Clayton's grand daughters except for Maren and Beverly! It was fun to get to see everyone!

And here is my sweet grandma!

I looked out the window and what did I see?

We are supposed to get 2 - 5 inches today. The sad thing is Abby was supposed to get to go be in the high five line at the U of U women's soccer game today, play a scrimmage game at half time and meet the girls after. :( Oh well, they said we can go to the next home game (if there is one) but we may not get to do every thing they were going to do today. I guess I should but up a new background huh?

Real Salt Lake

We got to go to the inaugural game for Real SL in their new stadium. They played the New York Red Bulls and tied but not before one of the Bulls was ejected for kicking one of our guys in the head. I was suprised at how rough NY played! It was pretty cold but the kids all loved it! There were fireworks, tv crews and the governor who happened to arrive just as we did. Here are some pics:

The new stadium

More Frustration!!

I took Ben's car to work tonight because mine didn't have any gas and I was running too late to stop. He is due to get his car registered in 3 days so yesterday he replaced the very cracked windshield so that it would pass safety inspection. And, yes, not 24 hours after the $200 windsheild was installed it has a HUGE rock chip in the driver's line of site!!!! And, no, it wasn't safety inspected yet.

Yummy!

Yes, that is what it looks like . . .

trays and trays of frozen cookie dough balls.

Mmmmmmm

Funny Video

OUCH!

Meg came home from school with some nice rips on her hands last week. Poor baby! I just love her little sad face.

Frustration!!!

This week someone broke into my paypal acct and made $1800 worth of payments!!! Paypal is working on it and has recovered $700 so far but it may take up to 30 days before this is all resolved. I went and bought updated security software for our computer because we weren't very well protected so hopefully that will help. We also opened a new bank acct so we could continue to live seeing as how the other acct is a little bit overdrawn at the moment. It is so unnerving because we don't know how they got in or what else they know. I am just hoping this is the end of it all and that it doesn't happen again!

Curly hair day

Well, here are the pics of curly hair day.

What's Up

I haven't been blogging much lately. Everything has gone back into our hectic, everything's the same, day after day schedule. I'm trying to balance work, school and home. Ben's trying to balance work, Abby's soccer and home. The kids are all in school (which helps me fit school in!) and I have even started letting them ride their scooters (while I sit home NOT sleeping because I am imagining all the ways they could be hurt, kidnapped or killed on the way). They enjoy it though. Anyway, not much else to report. Abby has nailed me down to either tonight or tomorrow night to do pin curls in her and Meg's hair so she can have a "crazy curly hair day" so I will be pulling the camera out and you can all look forward to the pics.
