this last weekend has been a busy one for us . we celebrated grandpa larsons 90th birthday so crazy when we thought for sure he wasn't going to make through his last surgery that he had. but what a blessing for grandma that he did. he is such a roll model to me i look up to him alot he is strong in the gospel and bears his testimony every fast sunday, he dosen't care about what other people think, he likes everyone for who they are, he always has some good advice to give to us, and he show unconditional love to everyone around him. and one last thing he always knows how to have a good time. one quick stories about grandpa. him and grandma were at a party one night and decided to put some thing in the hor d'oeuvre to liven up the party and it sure worked the party was hoppin and it went on all the way till breakfast and then they were sorry that they had done it cuz they didn't drink any punch and they were very tired. that something that they put in the hor d'oeuvres was ridaline and they never told any one about there little trick till years later. that is just one of the many tricks grandpa had up his sleeve.

just for a laugh

so i just have a funny little story to tell about my drew. the other day we were in wallmart just taking our time walking up and down the rows talking to each other. then out of the blue we look up and drew is quit a ways in front of us and he has his pants pulled down just enough so that we can see his bum, he is sticking it out at us pointing his finger at his bum and saying ha ha! yes my four year old was mooning us and we don't know where he picked that up at. mike and i were laughing so hard we couldn't disiplene him, we kept looking at each other with a look like get a hold of your self so you can tell him that that is wrong and we shouldn't do that.

long time

ok so i know it has been a long time since i have written but in my defence i have been really busy. so my house is coming along and i am so excited every little thing that gets done i have to go over and look at it i know that is really lame of me.
i am also really busy getting my dance studio started which has been alot of work but is so fun i have wanted to do this for so look i cant wait till it is up and running. we called the studio Dance on Broadway cuz it is on broadway in raymond. when i can get my computer to work properlly i will post pictures of the progess of my house.

what a day

saturday was the buziest day ever i went to lethbridge with amanda to get my mom a birthday present cuz sunday was her birthday. then we went to get some groceries. then we rushed home to save mike from the kids, he was tring to work on the house and the kids were driving him crazy. oh ya on that note- we started building our house i am so excited about my concrete walls i know that is so pathetic but when i have been waiting for almost a year to get started the concrete is really exciting. well back to saturday then after picking up the very muddy kids i rushed home feed them and got the ready to go to tys babtism. next it was a rush to the moonlight run. and i suscessfully ran the 6k run and yes i finished. what an awsome feeling it is kind of like a rush to finish a race. now it is time to train for the next run and just so you know dan and andy there will be no getting out of the next one. by the time we finished the race and got our kids home to bed it was 11 and we were all very tired. what a day

-slow computers that randomly shut down when you are in the middle of something
-taxes need i say more
-gst cuz we are way to far behind ( not my fault of course)
-living in a rental house
and i could probably go on but enough said

and for the things that just make my day
-getting to exersice in the morning
-hearing drew say "i like you mom"
-the smell of a fresh clean baby
-nap time
-when madison walks in from school i love having my kids home
-when madison and drew decide to play happily together
-kisses from a 4 month old (you know how they are nice and slobbery)
-hearing the words i love you when i tuck my kids into bed at night

the new year

once again it is time for a new year. i have a really hard time letting go of the old year and moving on to the new one. some of the things that happened to us in 2008
-we sold our second home which i am so sad about because we loved that house and now we are living in a runned down rental that i can't stand but only while we build so i guess i can handle it
-we had another baby so now we have three kids
-my oldest started grade one that means all day school i can hardly believe it
-we payed off both of our vehicles that is a awesome feeling
know for the goals that i hope to accomplish this year. i want to read the b of m i always start but have a hard time finishing. pay more attention to my kids and husband for that matter. read less so that i can accomplish the last one. get out of dept, i hate credit cards. have a home maid christmas which i am super excited about, and take my kids to do things one on one so they can spend time with us by them selves. and last of all build a new house.
