Mother's Day

It was always the same growing up.  The first day of school was also mother's day???  Didn't they already have one of those back in May or something??? Well as I quickly hurried my five children off to school this morning ( Morgan & Brayden even went an hour early accidentally) I relish the term!!!   I love my babies!!!  BUT, there is something to be said for sweet solitude!!!  My house is so quiet!!  If it weren't for Brayden's new gerbils, you could hear a pin drop!!!

Moon Lake

Since this was such a long camping trip we got to go to the Moon Lake ward.  

We spent the last 9 days at Moon Lake.  It was so much fun.  The kids built a tree stand (fort) and we all played games and Russ successfully hunted!

We try to visit Moon Lake once a year ( it is a little far to go,  approx. 45 min. outside of Duschene)  We love the campground and it is a great family tradition!!!

Vinyl

Last night Laura & Becky (and Hannah!) came up to cut some vinyl.  We were up till 1 am!!! This is a picture of one we did yesterday for Megan's room.  I need to get some of those jewels from UCL from Cami!  I can't wait to see the pictures from Laura and Becky's new stuff...they will be so cute!!!

It doesn't really look like much

I know it doesn't really look like much... but it took me 3 days!!!  I am trying to get everything ready for Quilted Bear TODAY!!! Everything is finally priced and ready to go.  I look at this picture and wonder if I really have lost it...to bite off this new job...hopefully you wont find me in the looney bin!!!
