One more Day of Joy!!

So I'm finding studying and life are sometimes hard to do. I have this problem I would rather do anything else but homework! Like yesterday we did some running around, I can't go into detail because if Cortney reads this the rule will be broken. The rule you ask? Well it goes whenever one of the kids( even grown kids) are gone we as a family do nothing but sit around and think about how much we miss them! So I had some running around to do and we didn't get back until like late p.m. By then I was to sleepy to do much studying I read but that put me out for the count!! So today after church I went up the canyon to do some homework. I found a really good spot. I got my fire going and my chair set up and was minding my own business when out of nowhere 2 Does( Doe a deer a female deer!) Came running down the hill right at me! I was like WO! The deers stopped and looked at me and ran back up the hill, right out onto the street. There were cars so the does ran back down the hill and at full speed were running right at me!! Here I am in one of those reclining chairs and for anyone who has tried to get out of one knows you can not do it fast! The only thing I could think of was to make a noise so they would see me before they ran me over I yelled "hey" because deers understand what that means right! Well it worked they stopped in mid jump no more than 6 ft away from me! They stared at me and then made a sharp turn and ran up the mountain behind me! I thought for sure I was going to be ran over and be able to be on the show When Wild Animals Attack! It was pretty crazy, cool but crazy! It started to rain shortly after that I stuck around until the Thunder and Lighting started and that was my que to go home. When I got home Cortney called and told Teah that all Mike feeds Palmer is power bars for every meal that just added to my happy thoughts about him I already had! My loving mom was making cookies and the dough was sitting there waiting for someone to eat it so I told them (Mom and Tricia) forget the spoon I want a bowl!!! Tricia wouldn't let me she said something about "We don't stress eat, lets do something else!". Of course we do what is she thinking! Really it was a good idea because we decided to practice our belly dancing ruotine. We might (well really we do ) have a performance on Friday!! That means you too Aunt July!! I need all the practice I can get! So we went over it 500 times and then the next thing I knew Traci and Addie were there ( Teah and Rhegan were already there) and we might of ended up having a dance athon on the back porch. Traci can still do the electric train I'm so proud of her!! Addie has the bootie shake down that move alone can get her into the class! Tommorow I get to drive to Burley Idaho (I da HO no you da HO)and pick up my missing children! I really miss them when they go> it's like oh great less kids but then it's like oh I really do miss them! Oh and of course they can't ever all be gone at the same time it's always two by two! That wont help my dating! HAHAHA I kill myself ! FYI Traci was the one to add my school picture and I promise I didn't put comments about myself from myself just in case you thought I really lost it!

First Day of School Pictures

When Tamar dropped Palmer off at my house on the first day of school I was told by our mom to get a picture. So here it is. Isn't she the cutest college girl you ever did see!?

Kids + Life = JOY

So everything in my house is calming down ,but I'm sure only for a minute! The Girls seem to be doing well in school. Teah loves seminary. Teah also is taking a fashion class so now she might be able to use her sewing machine. I can't wait tell she can make me clothes. Cortney loves the boys and being the aid for the office. Thats a perfect job or class for her (I don't know what to call it). She has always loved playing teacher now she gets to do all the grunt work! If you ask her how the rest of school is she will give her famous answer "Boring"or sometimes she switches it up and says "Stupid". Cortney and Palmer are going to Idaho this weekend, again with the sharing not my favorite! Cort will stay with The Herrick grandparents while I send my son off to the house of #$*%!! I will just pray and pray that they will be safe. Mike Hates me again nothing new but it scares me when he gets that way! During church this week Palmer found his veins on his wrist and new he was turning into spider man .They were blue and red and his sister showed him a bug bite on his hand that was all it took he new he would be spider man in a matter of minutes. He also told us, well really Cortney that the reason he asks so many questions is because he can talk. Does that mean that for all the years he couldn't talk he has been saving those questions to ask now? Poor Palmer got shots today 6 of them to be exact he was so brave the nurse gave him a couple books she felt so bad for him! He also had to pee in a cup he thought that was the craziest thing ever he kept telling me" Mom we don't pee in cups we pee in toilets" I kept telling him just at the doctors we do sometimes he still thinks we're nuts! Rhegan Just loves school as far as I know she has no complaints. She did get called to be the Beehive Secretary in our ward! She loves that she did it up in Idaho. All three of the girls and my mom went to the temple last week and did baptism for the dead. One of the things that they love to do. Jeremiah is suppose to get us more names to do for our family and them I can go too!! I love school it is keeping me busy but that means less time for me to get in trouble! Homework sucks but I want to learn this time so it is better. It is a good thing my mom loves to be a teacher and is more than willing to read my papers because my papers might not be that well written without her!! Is that cheating? We got to see Jordan and Cali and Kaden it was great that little boy is to dang cute he can't be my brothers!! Belly Dancing classes are coming to an end and that means we have to dance in front of people!! I think I feel a cold coming on ! No really it will be fun I get to stand in the back so you can't see how many times I mess up! More pictures to come soon I hope. I tried to take some in the mountains Saturday when we went up there but they didn't turn out to well. We decided to come home after Cortney and Rhegan lost a shoe in the river and a walkie -talkie in the river too! At least we didn't loose them!! Well I can't wait to see what this week will bring hopefully more joy and laughter!

I Made It !!

So I did it my first day of school is finished!! I really think I'm going to like it! I only got lost once and sat in a Statistic class for a few minutes before the girl next to me asked if this was Statistic 1010 I said I hope not! She was right. I had an hour break so that was fun! Books cost an arm and a leg or they lady said she would take my first born. I said sure thing she is 14. She changed her mind she did the teenage thing and didn't want to do it again!! I think Bio. will be my hardest but it will be a challenge! Got to end this short Palmer is calling for me I must run!!

The night before

So tomorrow is my big day! After getting my girls in school it is finally my day. I feel like it's going to high school for the first time. I went up to the school to check things out and there are so many babies there! They all look like I could be their mom. It's a good thing I'm not going to school to find man! I don't think their parents would like that very much. Really I am very excited I don't think I will be able to sleep very well tonight. Traci gets Palmer at 8:00 in the morning. She is so cute she got him his favorite cereal Coco Puffs his life will be complete now! hopefully I wont be late my first day but me on time that's funny!!! I can't wait to get into the swing of things so my life can run smooth and I'll have no drama just fun things to tell about! Well I need to go to bed so I can get up at 5:00 and go to the gym. Maybe I'll find some one to play with at the gym? My mom and Traci go but they don't count I cant kiss them. My mom says I can't find some one to kiss because I can't stop at that what does she know?!

I got some cute pics. of the girls on their first day I'll have to get them up some how! Oh yeah Teah and Rhegan made it back safe and sound form Wisconsin. Teah came back Black not Brown she took very well to the other life. Rhegan came back and she is still brown she had fun but missed us a lot. Their dad took them to get their "hair did" and They look great. Its amazing how great their hair is when you know what to put in it. I think I did a good job for being a white girl!! But now they have these silk wraps that they wear to bed I want one too!! I told them they should start a fad and wear then to school they said NO! Oh well I'm still going to get one!!

Joy JOY Joy

I'm Freaking out I have not been to school since I had Rhegan That was High school 12 years ago!! What am I thinking trying to go now!! It is bad enough trying to get my kids in school $210 later so much for a free education!Then I found out that the papers I got for My Cortney are no good to get her in school here!UGH!!! Now we are going through the courts here I got everything filed so hopefully they will let her in now. Oh yeah I had to run a background check on her! Yeah,Cortney she is such a wild child. I don't get it can't anything in my life go smooth? NO! I would have nothing to blog about then.

Teah and Rhegan are in Wisconsin with their dad for the first time ever! They seem to be happy and having fun and that is what we hoped for! They come back on the 16th and school starts on the 18th. I'm glad we will have time to get them ready for school! Their dad said that they told him they didn't start until they 24th Hello that's Idaho!! That would be why parents should talk not teenagers. I do miss them but some of the teenage attitude is ok to not have to deal with.

I'm so lucky to have a sister who is willing to watch my boy for me when I'm in school. He will be in preschool in the morning and stay with her until I get home. One good thing about being poor is the state will help pay for daycare as long as I work 15hrs a week and they will pay Traci so I don't have to put him in a daycare center. I just hope Palmer and Addie will not drive my sister crazy!!! A 2 year old and a 3 year old plus chunky baby. I love you Traci just remember that when you want to lock them under the stairs! I love you and its ok with me they might like it!
