So after an okay night of Colton and Laike on the floor. Codey and Peyton in one bed and Hailey Cash and I in the other one and Cash thinking I am his pacifier we all woke up around 7:30 Codey went and got Einstein bagels for breakfast it was pretty good.
Then we just watched TV until about 11 and then Codey and the kids - Crew and Cash went swimming and just got back so now we have to think about lunch. Its hard since we can't all go, so Codey just goes and gets the food and brings it back to us. Crew and Cash just woke up from a nap they slept while everyone was gone and then got woken up when they all got back from swimming.
To night after dinner I hope to go down and get in the hot tub but I haven't felt good today either, that's all we need is me getting sick again too. The kids have also spent a lot of time looking out the window of our room because of all the deer, last night I think they saw eight deer or so, this morning we saw two 2 by 3s right below our window, that was pretty cool.
While sitting here I just watched Mary Poppins, now we are watching Lady and the Tramp all the movies I grew up watching all the time.
Drop of Awesome!
Going out to get lunch.

Vacation!
It was time to get away, sometimes I think it is more work to go somewhere then just stay home. And it is really, getting the house clean, getting the laundry done, packing, loading the car. Then you get to where you are going and you have 8 people sitting in this little hotel room, and it gets louder and louder, things start getting messy and I start getting stressed. So Codey took the kids swimming, I went down and watched for a little then came up since I have a whopper of a headache.
Codey went and got Wendy's for dinner and they messed up and didn't give us the baked potato's we ordered so Hailey and Cash didn't really have any thing to eat. Hopefully we will do better tomorrow, I didn't want to go out somewhere since Crew is still sick he was throughing up again this morning. I think the poor kid has lost 5 pounds since Christmas I wish I had lost some while I was sick too.
Drop of Awesome!
Got everyone ready and packed to go.

Ready for the weekend!
I am ready for this week to be over. Crew has been feeling a little better today but still is not really eating and lays around a lot. But the good news is no one else has gotten sick so far and I hope they don't since we are going to SLC tomorrow to stay in a hotel for the weekend.
Codey got a voucher for a weekend stay from the IBEW Credit Union for cheaper then normal so that is why we are going, we are going to go until Monday unless I can call tomorrow and cancel Sunday night since Codey works and we would have to come home on Sunday to get his car anyway and have dinner at Cherri and Lynn's house so I hope we can.
The kids are looking forward to the pool I'm sure they will spend a lot of time in it while we are there. I am looking forward to doing a lot of nothing I hope, I just want to sit around and watch the kids play and have fun.
So the big news in the news is about Lance Armstrong who has won the Tour de France 7 times and has now admitted that he was doping up the hole time and now is being striped of all the titles. Mmm, so sad, and yet I don't really care because it seems as if a lot of athletes lie a lot about how they win, so to bad for him.
I feel as if I didn't get anything done today since I just sat and held Crew or sat by him so that I could hold Cash who climbs up onto my lap and then decides to get down 30 seconds latter about 100 times a day. But we all need days like that, to just sit and hold and love our kids.
Last night Codey had a dinner for the Union that he went to in SLC then from there he went straight to the BYU basket ball game he went and picked up Allen to go with him since it was a late game starting at 9:00 pm so all the kids and I were already in bed.
Codey just got home from his bank meeting and will want to go to sleep so I guess I will quit, get
some sleep too and start all over tomorrow so goodnight.
Awesome drop!
Swept the floor.

Gratitude!
Today I have had a hard time thinking of anything to be greatful for. With sick kids, a house that needs to be cleaned, laundry keeps piling up, dinner has to be made, driving to and from to get the kids at school, home work, It just feels as if I don't ever think of the things staring me in the face, the things that really matter I have a hard time looking past all the things right in front of me and to be glad for the really good things I have.
A house
Food
Heat
A car
My mom and sister who are always willing to step in and help me.
A coat
My kids
Hot water
A microwave
Medicine
A phone
My bed
Codey
And the list goes on.
I need an often reminder that I am blessed with so much and need to remember that we have so much to be greatful for.
Tonight was RS the theme being to stretch ourselves is service. They are putting together small groups to get together and do an act of service and then come back in two months to the RS birthday in March and talk about what each group did in the past two months. So we were asked to think about a service that we can do, the group leader had a list of things that she had thought about, I didn't think any of them were wonderful but I don't know what else to suggest that would be better for us to do. So I guess I will start to think about it.
Awesome drop!
Got Colton a guitar to use for school. We were able to barrow it from Johnnie so glad he had one and we didn't have to bye one!

Sick Again!
Well Crew has a bad bug again this time he is not keeping anything down, not even water. Although he was throughing up last time he was sick with the flu too. I hate to see that poor little boy sick his tiny little face is so sad and his eyes have sunk. When he gets sick it is horable I hate it.
I went to the school today to do the reenrolment stuff that they have you do. I taked to the secretary about Laike and Kindergarten next year I don't know if I will have him go to Lincoln as it is another hour I the car, and take all that fuel to get there. I am going to go talk to Northridge Elementry and see if they will let him come for Kindergarten and then I will move him to Lincoln for first grade. We'll have to see if Northridge will let him in since we are not in the school boundreys.
Colton started a new term and is taking guitar, so we went to Taget and got him a guitar for class but I think we will end up taking it back, I think we will go to a music store and see if we can find him a different one or well will just rent one from the school for the term. The one we got is not a very good one and the teacher said that the kind we got they have a hard time keeping them tuned and things so we will see what we will end up doing.
I took Colton, Hailey and Peyton to the library yesterday too and we all got library cards and then the kids each got a book Hailey was getting biographies for her book project this month so she got 3 books and read them all last night and now is trying to decide who she is going to talk about in class.
Codey had scouts tonight and the guy he does it with didn't come so he just did it by himself the learned all about knots, in a couple of weeks they are going snow camping with the 12 year olds. I need to get both Codey and Colton some snow pants and warmer clothes, but I ,think they will have fun if they don't freeze to death.
I had Pres. Meting for primary tonight and we talked about the kids who don't come to primary, because of non member or part member family's or just because they don't want to like one little boy who's mom is in the RS Pres. It is hard to think of so many children in this ward that don't come, and how many inactive family's there are. I never had to think about it like I do now.
Well I better get to sleep and hope that my poor little Crew is able to sleep and is not up throughing up all night I have know idea how he could have anything in his little stomache after how sick he has been to day.
Drop of Awesome!
Cleaning up after a sick little angel. Love him lots!

Bitter Cold!
Wow! it was -4 this morning when I dropped the kids off at school today. It has been really cold for just over a week or so and it doesn't look like it will be much warmer anytime soon. the highs are only getting in the teens. The mountains got a lot of snow over the weekend and also north and south of us got up to two feet of snow, we got about 3" so we got the least of it for sure.
I heard Hailey crying last night about 12:00 and got up to see what was wrong, she said that she had a headache. That poor girl gets them like I did at that age mine have just continued through my life because they never found anything that they said was wrong. So I stood by her bed and rubbed her head for about 30 min. until she could relax enough to go back to sleep. when she got up this morning she said she still had it but that it was a lot better. I hope we can figure out what is wrong so she doesn't always have them like me.
Tonight we get to go clean the church, I told the kids this morning and they all growned, my little boys well love it they love to help clean.
Cash will be one next month I can't believe he is growing so fast, I love to sit and hold a new baby, watch them sleep, look at every little expression, sleep by them and most of all wake up next to that little warm body and get all those cuddles, and to just know how much I love them. It all goes bye so fast, I know I can't slow it down, but really does it have to go so fast.
But I'm starting to think about a night of sleep without being woken up every hour by my baby wanting to eat, or be held, or just waking up and crying for an hour for no reason. When my babies get to be this age I look forward to weaning them and getting them to sleep all night. I love to sleep.
I love to be a mom, I love to have my kids want only me when they are hurt or sad, I love to sit and cuddle with them, I love to be the one they love.
I have a feeling the next stage in life is coming, my kids are starting to grow up, Colton is 12 years old he is getting so tall, he has lost that baby face, Hailey is so responsible, she is so loving to her little brothers. I don't think Codey will give in again to the not planning our life anymore, if we had planned our life I don't think I would have gotten 6 beautiful kids and I can't imagine my life without them. Yes life is unbelievably crazy, and I know I don't get everything done but, I love my kids I love the things they do, I love the pictures they draw or the notes left on my pillow, or the toys picked up because they want to watch a movie.
What would life be like without each one of them and all the spacial things they do. I love being a mom, not just a mom, but there mom, the mom of 6 unbelievably beautiful and amazing in their own way kids. I am the mom of Colton, Hailey, Peyton, Laike, Crew and Cash what could be better then that. I don't think anything.
Drop of Awesome!
I love my kids! every fit throwing, screaming, winning, cuddling, loving part of them.
I love them, to the moon and back + a hole lot more!!!

Sunday
I got through today! Yay!!! I had to do sharing time today and I got through it, it didn't quite go as planned but it is over and now I need to prepare for the next time I have to do it which is in 2 weeks.
I hope I can get over the nervousness and do a better job at it next time. It is hard to find something that will keep the Jr. Primary engaged and then to have something for the Sr. Primary that does the same thing. And have the teachers like it too.
I have a huge mental list of all the things I need to get done this week, and yet I'm sure I will not get it all done, and if I make a list it will just overwhelm me and then I will feel as if I can never get it all done. Baby steps that is what I need to do. I should just start with a few things maybe 3 or 4 and then see if I can get those done along with all the normal weekly things that I need to do, then it may seem doable.
Well it is on to a new week as I am still playing catch up from last week as I didn't get anything done that I should have. After today I hope I can get through tomorrow, Crew is now in Sunbeams and today was the first time that he was there, well I just have to say it didn't go as I had planned Crew would not sit with his class he wanted to sit with me which was fine until the Sr. Primary went to class and he saw Hailey leaving for class and wanted to go with her instead of stay for sharing time. Then as they left for class Laike decided that he was going to be a stinker too and wouldn't sit with his class so the Primary Pres. Went and sat with him so that I only had Crew to deal with. I hope it will be better next time, but we keep messing up there routine since we will be gone next week, then the fallowing week I have to do sharing time again.
Well I guess I will see how this week turns out, be a little better, do a little better, and you will become a lot better! This is to a new week, to be better.
Awesome drop!
I went to choir practice today.
