Especially a blog about your life.
So to have a some time to write, something else has to slip. Right now all five kids are mindlessly watching television, instead of doing some cute summer time arts and craft project.
Where did I leave off....
South Dakota: What can I say about our time there? It went by quickly. The best part really was the hotel staff. When you live in a hotel the staff becomes sort of like friends. They are friendly faces and you kind of get to know each other. We knew when they were gone or had a day off and missed them when they were not there.
The church we went to was also great. The Young Women leaders were amazing. Malayna turned 12 the first week we were there and they welcomed her like they had been counting down all year for her to turn 12. It was the best place for Malayna to enter the young women's program. The scouting program was also a plus. Bobby and CJ both earned a few awards.
Seeing as were were so close to Colorado Springs (8 hours) we decided to spend Easter with the Bess family (aka our BFFs). We had a wonderful time with them as always. Lots of love, laughter, fun, learning and gospel discussion. We miss them very much.
We only had the three youngest for the last 2 weeks because M and B flew home with my mom after her visit. The drive home was fun. We made a few stops along the way, but the best one was Devils Gate. We learned a lot about LDS pioneers and the struggles they endured to get to the Salt Lake Valley.
I guess its time to go for now. I can only ignore the kids pleas for lunch for so long, before I start feeling like a terrible mom. We need to have a talk, again about what it really means to be starving.
Until next time, I love you C, M, B, C, E, and L
