Free Movies

Here in awesome Moses Lake Fairchild Cinemas offers free movies for the kids during the summer.
Last year it was only on Wednesdays but they changed it to now include Tuesdays and Thursdays as well.
The best part is it's kids everywhere and you don't have to worry so much about keeping them silent (or worry about the baby) and if things get crazy you can leave, you are not out any money!!
All the movies start at 10 am.
So for anyone interested the schedule is-

June 29,30,July1-Aliens in the Attic
July 6,7,8-Planet 51
July 13,14,15-Alvin and the Chipmunks the Squeakquel
July 20,21,22-Cloudy with a Chance of Meatballs
July 27,28,29-The Tooth Fairy
Aug 3,4,5-Fantasic Mr. Fox
Aug.10,11,12-Night at the Museum Battle of the Smithsonian

They will also be doing Free movies in the park. I will post info on those when it gets a little closer.

Team Jacob

Going out on a date tonight at midnight.

Taking a couple of teenagers with me.

Jealous much?

Oh Jayda

Jayda just came up to me with a clip on earring and asked

 "Mom can you hook this to my boob?"

The influence of my extended family is a little stronger than I thought.

Pea Pickin

We are planning on working at Mom's this week helping her to get ready for the reunion so I don't know if I will be blogging my usual 3 times a week schedule. We'll see. Anyway, we are still in the mode of doing everything and nothing at the same time. I feel so busy but don't seem to have anything to blog about and nothing picture worthy to post. This was the funnest thing we did this last weekend-pick peas. Ya, super fun I know. It was nice to chat with good friends and the peas were pretty good though, so I'm glad we went.

Of course they found the neighbors chickens and fed half our peas to them!

Summer

I think summer might be here.

Finally!!

And this is one of my favorite parts!

So Thank You Mr. Ice Cream Man!

You made my day.

and P.S. as soon as I get some photos of girls camp they'll be on here.

They're great, trust me!!

Camp

Headed to Girls Camp as I type this! See ya Friday!!

Surprising ourselves

For those of you who are concerned---we are doing pretty darn good! Kelsey really is an awesome girl to have in our home. I am hoping there is NO honeymoon period! It is an adjustment to be taking care of a teenager but I can tell you she is a heck of a lot easier than any of the other foster kids we've had stay with us. So calm down all you worry warts--we were totally meant to do this! Somebody High and Mighty is taking care of us and has our backs!!

Isn't it lovely!

2 of my favorite people.

We enjoyed a day eating lunch at Jaselynne's school.

Marvelous!

(even if I only had my phone to take pictures with!)

To few posts

I think this is the least I have posted since I have started my blog. I have excuses. Really, but they're only kinda good. I feel like I have been doing a ton but I have nothing to post on. My days lately have been filled with a ton of fill. Be there, do this, that, and the other. Oh ya, and that too.
Anyway, on with the show.

Here is Jase at Golf lessons. What a cutie. She is having fun to but I wish she wasn't so dang nervous!

The girls found a little bird that wasn't quite ready to be on it's own. They watched it ALL day. The next day we watched it fly to the fence, then on the roof, then up in the tree. They were pretty excited that they didn't have to worry about it anymore. (It's the dark spot in the middle of the picture)

Jaselynne made this little ditty on the floor with her bendaroos. I thought it was pretty cute.

Grrr...I had more pictures but can't get them to load in the right direction! And everything keeps getting off kilter. I think I might switch back to the old way! Blogger is going to be the death of me eventually!

Kelsey

Kelsey arrived at our house today.

And it was a little nervewracking for all involved.

She will be staying with us for a bit.

And she's seems ok with that.

She is pretty quiet so far.

And we'll see if that changes.

She is 14.

I'm excited for this opportunity.

And

Enough said!

What we've been up to

We have had a crazy week. I mean CRAZY! With the kids being in the last days of school and all that's been going on I haven't had time to do anything. That includes keeping up on the dishes. Let's face it, they are the very last thing on my list!
1. Jase celebrated at school with a pizza party and a portfolio day.
2. Jayda finished one preschool and has one day left of her other.
3. Sean won the best ball Stake Golf tournament with a score of 6 under.
4. My bestie came and visited from California. Ahhh..the memories we revisited!
5. We have been prepping for our foster child to come.....dun...dun....duuuunnn....
6. Jaselynne started golf camp.
7. I cooked for the RS luncheon.
8. Attended appt's for kids and pets.
9. Had our last camp clinic meeting for Girl's Camp.
10. Cooked a huge fancy meal for the Missionaries. Sean convinced them we needed to have Ribs and twice baked potatoes and corn on the cob and deviled eggs and, and, and!

I, of course, didn't include the usual stuff we do every week!
And I am having to write all this out because I didn't take one picture!!

My favorite quotes for Sunday~
Sean: "I have gained two talents since I've been married--falling asleep with the light on and getting dressed in the dark."
Jaselynne while wrestling with Dad: "I know just where to hit you where it will really hurt." Sean: "Oh yeah, where?" Jase: "I'm not gonna say it...........but it's where you pee." *snicker, snicker*
Jayda telling Jase about a paper cut she once got: "Oh.my.gosh it fricken hurt and for a huge long time."

Yucky Medicine

Jaselynne has been taking different meds almost her whole life. Since she has to take this batch for the next year she asked if she could try the pill form. So after a few nights of trying, a little throwing up, alot of water and a couple peed beds. She did it! We are ALL excited! No more yucky medicine!

Not done

I'm sure you all know we are not done with kids. We still want more. 2 is great. We love 2. But we just don't feel like our family is complete. It's funny. Someone was talking the other day about someone else not wanting to raise their grandbaby at 40. "That's crazy" "Why would you want to do that?" Blah Blah Blah. And then I looked at us. Sean will be 40 next year! 40!!!! Ahhhh! (Just wanna shout it out I'm ONLY 31 right now!!! Don't anyone go on thinkin I'm that old!) So technically he could be a grandpa. Hahaha. And we are looking for a little baby to be our own still.
What can I say-----To Each His Own!






P.S. I have been trying to download some vidoes on here and it hasn't been working. I think I'm going to have to go through a different program but when I figure it out you will see some cuteness!!

The Rain

First it was the wind!

Now it is the rain!

Not a fan of the rain people!

Neither are my kids.

Jase on the way to school

watching the rain on the windows said

"Thank goodness they invented cars"

I said

"Yes, I am super happy they did."

Then on the way home

Jayda asked

"Mom, when is it going to stop raining?"

Conner and Latasha on 96.7

told me-- today!

They Better Be Right!!

I am having a hard time

convincing all the new families

who moved from Utah

That it hardly ever rains here.

Technically we are a desert.

7 1/2 inches of precipitation annually.

Yes, I looked it up.

My Artistic Children

The girls love to color and paint. They do it just about everyday.
Here is a picture done by Jase. Mommy and Baby Swans swimming and a Mommy and Baby Turtle, crabs and fish under the water. Grandpa walking Lynx done by Jaselynne.

This story is so cute. She had to make it up. If you can't read it it goes....

Matilda tells Paul he can't play.

The lovely birds apolojized and told Matilda to stop.

I think Jayda had a premonition because she colored this crazy curly haired picture of herself 2 days before I ragged her hair.

Jayda's colorful pig she painted. If you can't tell she loooooves color. For everything!
