I have been in a blogging slump lately, plus it's just been pretty busy around here.
They split our ward a couple weeks ago and instead of having us just go to sacrament meeting until they called all the teachers they had us go to all of church (imagine 2 hours of sharing time!) (plus we go from 1:00-3:00 with sacrament meeting last-yuck!), so I made an executive decision to skip church last week.
We took the kids to the zoo, so they could animal watch, and I could people watch. I know that I am far from perfect, but at least I try to hide my imperfections-some people could care less and wear things that even their 4 year old shouldn't wear. It really made me feel a little better about myself. (was that rude? sorry)
We picked a great day, it was one of the very few nice days we have had this year. The kids loved it.
Hayden is playing coach pitch this year. What a crappy year for baseball. He has had two games rained out and we have frozen at the rest of his games. He is doing a great job, and his coaches are amazing. I am so thankful for people who are willing to donate their time to coaching, and for their kindness and patience; it makes it better for people like me who aren't that kind or patient.
Also, what a crappy year for putting in a yard. I know I should be grateful for the rain, but it's awfully hard when you can't plant flowers, or do sprinklers, or get curbing, or even mow the lawn because it NEVER STOPS RAINING! This is a picture of Dee and Hayden putting in sprinklers.
We took the kids to Indiana Jones 4-it was a pretty good movie, but in terms of the Indiana Jones series-I would rate it as my least favorite movie. Now don't get me wrong Shia LeBeouf is pretty easy on the eyes, but the whole story line was a little to far fetched for me. The boys loved it. Hayden did point out that it did have more swearing than the other movies-so that was a disappointment. 
Well, now my children and I are going to Olson's nursery (again) to spend some more money (again) on some plants that I probably can't plant, because it's raining (again).
Rain, Rain go away-(don't) come again another day!

Oh, Jimi I hear ya on the whole putting a new yard thing. We are as lucky as you are and are starting over again. It is impossible to get anything done in between the burst of rain that keep coming over and over. Let us know when you are putting in your sod and we'll come sod party with you. It makes a huge difference to have help!!!
Good luck on the yard. I think we are about to start that process, and I'm not too excited. But it will be great when it's done. Your new pics are cute. (we love the zoo on sunday too, nobody is there)
Oh the irony.....didn't you just write a post about keeping the Sabboth Day holy. That's funny....
By the way, you shouldn't complain about all the rain. Because as soon as you get your grass in you are going to be praying for rain, so that you don't have to pay for the water your spinklers use. Believe me I know.....
Love,
Lewis
Ah Lewis, you don't have to be a hater! I never said I'm perfect, I only suggested that I try. Come on, everyone needs a day off of church once in a while! You should try it sometime :)
I'll save a seat for you in Outer Darkness. We can people watch and check guys out.
I may be jaded and wrong, but spending quality time with family Trumps going to church. What will your kids remember: Going to the zoo or two hours of sharing time?
I'm just say'n....
Your purgatory bud,
J.
I'm not hating...I agree everyone needs a day off chuch every once and awhile. I really enjoyed my day off when I was sitting by the pool eating del taco in St. George a couple of Sunday's ago.
Love ya,
Lewis
