Today kids have been sick. Zach has a fever, cough, cold etc... and chloe decided to throw up today... so fun!  Sydney has allergies and Kyle is good, thank goodness.  We are busy trying to buy a minivan for our family as our Pilot lease is ending.  Daisy bit Mia on the eye  and totally jacked it up, it's so gross and I hope she will be okay and be able to see out of it.  There is a terrible swine flu going around the world and we are really trying to be careful to stay healthy (except for today) and hopefully they can get it under control.  Sydney took 2nd in the 2oo and 4x100 at her track meet yesterday, we are very proud of her.  She is a good girl and I'm just very nervous for high school and hope that she continues to make good choices and do whats right-high school is tough.  Life is good and busy and I love it.  Super proud of the kids and I love them so much!

We had a good weekend together as  a family.  Zach and Kyle had games on friday night they both won and then Chris took the boys to the Fulton Carnival and Sydney was at Megan Chapples Birthday party.  Saturday it was a soccer game for Sydney and Chris, Sydney tried to be goalie but didn't like it much so she went back to defense.    Julene Barth and I went shopping for the Silent Auction Basket for CNLL and then we were off to a Peleteros game. Zach pitched in this one and Chad and Randee and the kids came to watch , it was fun.  Chris and I then went to dinner with the Gardanier's and the Yocum's and then we went to the adult session of conference.  Sunday we went to Stake conference and they did it differently and had to broadcast to our church building so we didn't have to all cram into the stake center.  I love sunday afternoons when we can rest, take a nap, play games and enjoy each others company.  Kyle showed us his dancing side last night and did the macarena for us in his bedroom, he was very good apparently they do it at school alot!  I thought it was so cute.  Chloe has taken to the barbies and loves to play and make a huge mess with them!  This week Sydney is off to California with the band for the weekend, they get to go to disneyland (lucky).  I'm going to SLC for an Exfuze conference with Pat, I'm excited to see what they have to say and hopefully get her motivated and moving along in this business.  I'll write again soon.

We celebrated our 15th wedding anniversary this past week!  It was a normal day but it just felt special to me and I remembered our wedding all the events that went along with it.  That morning mom came for piano and she brought gifts, she likes to do that.  She brought a necklace for me from hayley, bed sheets, tie for Chris, book on cd for Chris, and she had our wedding video put on dvd which was so nice!  Mom and Hayley also did their dance for us again to the UB40 song and put it on you tube for us to watch, it was so sweet.  We had a game that night so on thursday the 2nd I got us a couple's massage and then we went to dinner at Hong Kong Bistro.  It was a nice anniversary I can't wait for the next 15.  Things are busy we had a super fun weekend.  Friday night Zach had a game and it was too cold for me to take Chloe so we just stayed home. Saturday we had Sydney's soccer game (they tied) then I had to go do taxes, then it was grocery shopping and home again.  Chris went to Priesthood that night (it was general conference weekend) and caught 2 guys looking into cars in the parking lot, I don't know what it is people always breaking into cars at our church's.  Then that night our neighborhood had their annual easter egg hunt, they were divided into age groups of course and they get their candy filled eggs to put in their baskets.  The fun part about it was that afterwards they showed a movie on a 16ft blow up movie screen.  They showed an easter show then the movie Bolt. It was so fun to get the pillows, blankets, sleeping bags etc... out for the kids and let them stay up watching the movie with their friends.  The Moore's and us had dinner on their front lawn and just talked, it was soooo fun!  I love our neighborhood and the great activities we do, it's a wonderful place to raise our children.  Today is tuesday and we have another one of Zach's games tonight I hope they win.  Kyle had one last night and they won by a long shot.  He loves to play.  Life is good, we are just taking things easy and being careful with our money as the economy is terrible right now and things are slow with Chris's job.  I'll write soon.  

15th Anniversary 04/01/09

Well we had our 15 year anniversary yesterday.  I woke up and made Chris breakfast in bed (omelette) and then mom came over for piano and she brought with her some gifts.  She told me to look on my email and there was something from Hayley, a you tube clip??  So it was  of them dancing to the UB40 song that they danced for us 15 years ago.  It was so sweet.  We got new bed sheets, I got a cute necklace from Hayley, Chris got a new tie and a book on CD and then mom put our wedding video, reception video, etc...on dvd.  It was so sweet.  We were grateful.  I can't believe I've been married for 15 years!  As i think back it's been a wonderful life.  We've definitely had our ups and downs and sorrows and happiness but we are so blessed and I wouldn't change any of it.  I'm very happy.  Kyle had baseball practice and Zach had a game (they came back and won 18-9)  We are actually celebrating today by going and getting  a couples massage-Yeah!! We could both use it.    I have an Exfuze meeting right after, hopefully it turns out well.  I went to the computer store to get an adapter for our old laptop so I could get the pictures off of it, it was so fun to look at them and see how much the kids have grown.  My goal is to get them all on disk and off the computer and put it on the mac.
