A Week Without Daddy

So Matthew got the privlege of getting to head to the mountains for a week with the boys from our ward that went on the 50-miler. He was pretty excited because he enjoys it and it had been a long time since he has had the opportunity to go. It was also good for him to get a break from life and just have some fun. He has been so busy study and working that he really doesnt get much time to just relax, so I was glad that he got this opportunity. They left Sunday the 7th and returned Saturday the 13th. We missed him very much the whole week he was gone, but we kept ourselves busy. We were glad to have him home, and to hear some of his stories from the week. He had a blast and he sure enjoyed being out there with the boys. There were only six boys that went this year and then Flint, Matthew, Bishop Lani Schofield and His dad were the leaders that went. And as far as I can tell it was a pretty good week! Now I am not sure that I will be able to keep him from going every time they go, but I am not sure that I will stop him :)!!! I am just glad that he got to go and that he had an enjoyable time.

So it sure was a busy week for Logan, Ashlee and I. I am not sure that we Stayed home much, but we spent a good week with family, so it was a good busy week.

Monday 8th- We just stayed home and straightened the house. I didnt get as much done as I wanted to, but I did however make more time to spend playing with Logan and Ashlee. So it was a pretty relaxing day.

Tuesday 9th- We went in to Twin and I help my mom lay a paver walk-way. It was pretty hot, but we got it done. She is fixing up here house and has done some pretty sweet things, she has painted her siding a sage green with white trim and red doors. It is looking great! This was my first time laying a paver walkway and it sure was a lot of work even for just the little bit we laid. I sure wouldnt want to lay anything bigger than this. But glad we got it in and it looks great!

Wednesday 10th-I mowed my lawn and did some stuff around the house and then Michelle came out and spent the day with us, we also went down and I mowed the lawn for Lisa to help her out. Michelle and I then played games and played with the kiddos. So another busy yet fun day.

Thursday 11th- I had an appointment in Twin in the morning and then I met up with my friend Shauna and we got to eat lunch at the Burnt Lemon Grill. SO YUMMY! Then we went back to her house and just talked and let the kids play in the little kiddie pool she has. So it was another great day.

Friday12th- We went back to Shaunas house and hung out with her. We made some cute fabric flower hairclips, let the kids play in the hot tub, ate good food, and talked, laughed and had a great day :)!

We sure had fun and look at all these cute flowers :)!

One very cute little fish-She sure enjoys the water :)!

The cutest boy ever, lovin the water :)!

Saturday13th- We finally finished cleaning the house and waited patiently for daddy to arrive home. There was one very excited little boy to see his daddy after missing him all week. Ashlee wasnt so sure about him, but it didnt take to long for her to warm up to him again. :)

It was a good week for everyone, but it was sure nice to have everyone home together :)!!!!!
