Sunday Fun Day!!!

Ok since I have decided to be a blogger again I had better just get my posting done on a day that I have some time. So Sunday it is. Well this week totally kicked my booty. I worked like 45 hours and I took 2 hours of on Tuesday and the whole day off on Friday. We had so many night meetings and was needed at all of them. But I was super glad to have Friday off. The girls and I went shopping, visited Grandma and Grandpa Tolman, went to Blackfoot, visited grandma Nash at work and then we took a group nap when all of our errands were completed. I would say it was a great day with my little ones. This next week is looking to be about the same. But I have been a good mom and I have dinners all ready for the week, laundry is all done, and the house is clean. Woo Hoo me!!! So I have also been really busy making Shutterfly books. There is one posted that I am super proud of. It is an ABC book and I think it turned out really great. It was way fun to make and best of all it was free. I just love how shutterfly does that. I get like 4-5 free books each year. That really is the only way to scrapbook. Plus I love how they save your pictures online so if my computer ever crashes my pics are saved. So my super wonderful sister in law Jami took some 1 year old pictures of Maren and below is just one of the many pretty pictures she took. This one is just my favorite. So Enjoy!

Well I am back!!!!!

Holy smokes it has been like forever since I have posted on this thing. Actually since February. So many great things have happened to our little family. - Uncle Payton came home from his Mission - We got to go to New Mexico and Texas for Spring Break to see our wonderful friends and family. - Maren turned 1!! - Maren not only is walking (at 10 months) but she is running all over the place. Just like her big sister. - I have started working full time for the summer. - Kodi got to go on 2 overnight camps with me and she did great. - I have been crafting like crazy. I don't even know all of the fun stuff we have been doing. I just know that we are super busy. I just got called to the Primary presidency (2nd counselor) and that is taking up more time then I thought. I have been helping a girl with Rodeo Queening and that has been really fun but super time consuming. She got 1st attendent at the State contest! Which is amazing for her 1st year. Work is going really well. I am so busy with all the projects, camps, and programs that I am running it has been really hard to not take my work home with me. When people ask me how everything is going I really don't know what to tell them. Andrew is finally done with his summer school classes so that is nice. If we could just get rid of one more thing then we would have more time to spend together. But this summer seems like all we do is run from one thing to the next. Which is good that we are able to so many things with out little sweet girls. We get to go to Bear Lake with my family this week and I am so excited. I love Bear Lake. It is pretty much my favorite place to go in the summer. We will be boating, building sand castles, swimming, doing a dutch oven dinner cook off, and a movie night on the bit projector. I just love my family and I can't wait for this trip I need it! On a sad note Andrew's Grandma Darrington dies on Sunday. She lived a good long life and it was her time to go. She has been parted from her husband for 19 years and she had dementia for the last 7ish years. It will be good for Andrew's parents to not have to be care takers full time. I know how much they loved Gladys but they need this time for themselves. Well except for the days that they tend my little girls. Well Kodi and Maren are just getting so big. Kodi is our wild woman. She keeps us in line and she always has some lip gloss in hand. Her hair really matches her personality. It is wild and crazy, Blonde and super curly. She is almost potty trained and we are so pumped to not have to change so many diapers. She is a Momma's girl and she loves to come with me everywhere. I can't believe how fast she is growing. Maren is almost the exact opposite of Kodi. She is really laid back and is always happy. She has the best smile and she totally has Andrew wrapped around her little finger. She is a daddy's girl to the max. I kinda think it is that way because Kodi is more like Andrew and Maren is more like me. So each of us always has to have an opposite to hang with. Maren is really daring and she loves to take risks. She really likes to scare us. We are doing really well and no major complaints. We love summer and we are having lots of fun. I am going to try and be better and post some of the pictures that I have taken recently. But you know me...............
