WARNING: Post overload

Wow! I have so much I want to blog about so I am just going to make one giant post! Well as some of you know It is finals week at Dixie State.... With that said, I have been super stressed trying to get my last minute things done. I have been working on my final 12 page research paper for EVER it seems like. It was due today so yesterday I didn't have to work until 2 so i spent all morning trying to perfect it. I let the kids have full run of the house as I worked. At lunch time I stopped working to get the kids lunch and get ready for work. They had wandered into the back yard and when I saw them I thought to myself.... Holy cow it is lunch time and you guys are still in your jammies with last nights soggy diaper on, no shoes, crazy hair, and SO HAPPY! The last week I have felt like I have not got to spend any time with Konner and Zaydee. They are such good kids to just play and let me get my homework done though! I love them so much!

My work station... also known as my bed!

Last Saturday Sammy and Wayne invited me to go spend the day at the lake. I was so excited since I have been looking forward to summer for so long! It was a perfect day for the lake! The water was cold but it was hot outside so the water felt good. Sam brought the Jetski and we brought all the sand toys.... the kids played in the sad ALL day. Best $7 dollars ever spent. Konner did so good in the water with his life jacket. I am so proud of the little guy.  Michael and Aubree came out for the day for their prom day date. They brought the canoe and the kids loved taking turns riding in it. I fried my body but it was so worth it.... 

Kendall and Zaydee talking good care of the baby puppy

Mikey and his little followers... The kids love him.

Sam's first tube ride ever! 

Because of finals I have been studying every second I am home, so this weeks activity was just a picnic on our front lawn. We grabbed some Wendys on my way home from the college and relaxed in the shade. We laid on the blanket and made things in the clouds. Even though it wasn't something we had never done before, we had a great time with each other. 

The clouds look like chicken nuggets!

Look at my elephant nose mom! haha

We spend a lot of time at my mom and dad's house and one evening we were hanging out in the back yard and Parker and Zaydee got a great idea. Zaydee sits in the dump truck and Parker pushes her up to the top of the drive way and then runs her down! He had her put her blanket in there to make the ride a little more comfy. They laughed so hard and no one got hurt! While they were taking turns having rides Konner was catching potato bugs.

A couple weeks ago my mom came over to sit with the kids while I ran to school for a meeting and when I got home this is what I found........

Zaydee went in the kitchen to get her cup of milk out of the fridge and never came out. My mom asked her if she needed help and she said she could do it by herself so my mom stayed in the living room with Konner. A couple minutes later she called for Zaydee and when she didn't answer she went in there and found Zaydee fast asleep on the kitchen rug! haha she must have been super tired

A few weeks ago we went to Sand Cove because Konner has been wanting to go fishing.... It was a little windy but the kids had a great time eating snacks, chasing lizards, and waiting for the fish to bite! We saw a couple eagles and that was super cool. I didn't get any good pictures of them... maybe next time!

I think I am officially caught up on the bogging. YAY!
