Cotten Candy !!!

Today i went over to April's house to make Cotton candy for the carnival. We made bubble gum and grape. We ended up with 235 bags total. It only took us 2 hours which i don't think is to bad. And it was kinda fun.

Kya is still home sick she has been sleeping a lot. She must really need it she has not been eating much. She said she has lost weight. I wish it was me!!!

Keagen has baseball practice tonight. So does kya but she won't be going.

Dr / Pine Wood Durby

Today kya was still sick and she said her throat hurt so i asked the school what is going around so i would have an idea. and they said strep throat is going around the school. I told kya we need to go to the dr. she was not for that idea at all. but i told her if she doesn't get it taken care of it could get really bad. so we went to the dr and you will never believe what they said. she has an ear infection sinus infection, strep throat and mono. Holy Cow no wonder she looks like death warmed over and i not able to do anything at all. she would move five steps and say i am to tired to walk. i figured it was a way to get of doing something. well i guess i was wrong. they gave us medicine. Now lets hope it works....

Keagen and his derby car

Tonight was Keagens Pack meeting they were doing the Pine Wood Derby races with there cars. He did a great job he took 4th out of 15 cars. Way to Go Keagen . He also received other awards for things that he has been working on. It was a lot of fun for him and Tag to make is truck. He really liked it and one of his friends came up and said that is the coolest car ever... That made Keagen feel good. that's what this is all about having fun and feeling good about what you did.

Kya Sick

Today kya stayed home from school she was not feeling well at all. she had baseball practice but was not able to make it there. she does not look good at all. she pretty much slept all day.

Tonight i had to go finish wrapping baskets for the carnival but we had help this time. we had three more people come to help. kiana went with me to help also.

Tag took keagen to baseball practice and picked him up. It is really nice having him home to help run the kids from place to place. Keagen is doing so much better his coaches are doing a great job with all those boys. my hat off to them. they have way more patience then i would ever have.

Raffle Tickets

Kya and i sold raffle tickets at ridleys this morning. from 11 am til 1 pm. We had some girls come help. Kya sold 45 tickets out of 90. she was the top seller that day. She was not feeling well. But did a great job.

Tag worked at Phils house with Ben. and then i went later to help after Ben left. we are about done thank goodness. The house looks great.

Bugs and More Bugs

Today was Graysens Bug Fair at school and his teacher asked for parents to help make treats for the class so i made worm cups...

Tag was out of town and came home that night and seen all these cups in the fridge and thought i had gone crazy. He really thought i had cups of worms in there. He thought the boys had been real busy gathering them. Ya right like i would let them put the worms in my fridge. He must of gone crazy thinking i would do that. pretty funny. Everyone loved them.

The 1st graders sang songs about bugs it was cute. Graysen didn't sing much he was to busy looking at Haley a little girl he likes. Tag was able to get off work early and come with me so that was nice. Graysen asked him before he went to school if he could go. I think it makes him feel good when the kids ask him to go to there school projects. He loves it. He will do anything for them.

Then at 6 pm Kya went with me to the school to wrap baskets for the Carnival. It was a lot of work but kinda fun. Kiana showed up and helped also. Which made it go faster. I really hope that the carnival is good this year. With the economy being so bad.

Tag is Finally Home ....

Tag finally is home... It is about time... The only problem is he brought some extras with him.. LIZARDS for the boys. And guess what Graysen is loving it. I can't keep him out of the cage. He even dropped one already in the kitchen. Thank goodness he found it and it is back in its cage. Tag brought home 3 a big one, medium, and small one. Big ones name Scooter because he likes to scooter around- Keagens medium Heidi cause he hides good -Tag and small one cheetah because he is fast -Graysen. Boys and there bugs...YUCK...



Kya had baseball practice last night for the first time. They worked on the batting cage all night. and video taped them to show them what they need to work on. She was really sore this morning when she got up. her stomach muscles and her arms. I told her it might get worse before it gets better. but she is enjoying it so far. i hope it stays that way. And tonight her coach had a pizza party for the girls to how them their video of them hitting. to help them see what they need to work on. He seems like a great coach.
Kya has practice Monday, Wednesday and Friday. 6 pm -7:30 pm. So i have to run kids to practice every night of the week and graysen has not started yet. I am guessing he will be Tuesday and Thursday nights. thank goodness tag is back to help because i am not sure what i would do if he wasn't. Besides pull all my hair out. lol.

Keagen still has practice Monday -Thursday. From 6pm-7:30pm. He is still liking it and he is doing a great job. He has a game coming up here in a couple weeks.

He is home.... Well He Was....

well tag got home about 12 midnight. I had to pick him up at the airport. we got home by around 1 am. Tired

Tag had fun while he was in Michigan. It was a mini boot camp to make it fun for the guys. They toured the fiber glass panel plant. i guess it was pretty interesting . then they did little challenges. They had one where they timed you to see who could build a panel the fastest and guess what out of all the men Tag won!!!! they gave him a trophy. Pretty cool. We are so proud of him. They also had a graduation for them and gave them a diploma.

We all relaxed Sunday and then we got tag ready to leave again for the week. thank goodness this is the last week of all this traveling....
He left at 4pm and didn't get to hawthorn til 12 midnight. because he had to load the trailer at the shop. they said it would all be ready for him but guess what it wasn't. so he didn't leave Nampa til 6 pm. poor guy he is tired and ready to stay home.
He will be heading home Wed or Thursday.

The weather here today was beautiful it was 80. and i loved it. Keagen had practice and then i had PAC meeting at the school. We got a lot of the carnival stuff figured out. It sounds like it will be a lot of work on May 1st. But a lot of fun. i am off to bed.

Early morning

I got all caught up on the days that i did not post. so you will have to go back and look at the older ones. in case you didn't see them. have fun..... i did about 3 weeks worth.


Well Tag and i got up this morning at 4:30 so we can have him at the airport at 6am. We left around 5 am and we gave kiana her phone so i can call her and make sure she is up and that she gets kya up. Kya woke up when tag gave her a hug and kiss good bye. but she fell back asleep.
I started calling kiana around 5:20 and she never answered. I called the house phone kya's phone and her phone until 6:20 am and she finally answered it. i know i called over 50 times on all the phones. i was thinking one of the boys would get to it before the girls. nope they were still asleep when i got home at 6:30. So i decided to shower and get ready before waking them up at 7. after they all got ready and kiana left for school i helped kya memorize different types of sentences. for a test today.
tag has already called and he was in Denver at 9 am and won't get to Michigan until 3pm. i bet he is tired we didn't get to bed til 2 am. i know i am tired. He said he took a little nap on the plane. i found out today that if you fly with united that they charge you 15.00 to check a bag. CRAZY. what is this world coming to. i figure we pay enough for the ticket we shouldn't have to pay to take luggage. I pray that is economy turns around soon. it is getting scary.

Hayden is getting to Ali and Larry's today to live with them permanently. That is exciting we will get to see him more.

Game Night

Today keagens baseball practice was cancelled due to high winds. Which was good he is not feeling well still. But seems to be getting a little better.
Kya wanted to play a game tonight so we played LIFE. It was fun the boys helped me and we played against the two girls. Kiana kick bottom. then kya and the boys and i lost but that's OK it was fun.
Tag got home around 12 midnight. and he has to leave at 5 am to head to Michigan. til sat midnight. then he heads back to Nevada Sunday afternoon til Thursday. thank goodness this will be the last week of that. i feel like a single parent.

Easter

Today is Easter. I had to wake up the kids so we could get ready for church. It is not like them to sleep in on a holiday. they must of been real tired. As soon as they realized what day it was they ran down stairs to see if the Easter bunny had come. He did and he hid all of the eggs.
They all got there basket filled with tons of candy. A Easter bunny. and some odds and ends the girls got alarm clocks now lets see if they will use them???... boys got a bunch of bug stuff and boards to write on.
We went to church but had to leave early so we could tag ready to go to Nevada. We left at 1pm. and came home and got tags bag all packed and he left at 1:45pm to meet Todd at the shop. they got the Hawthorne Nevada around 11pm our time.

Baptism for the Dead ad pic dog east colo

Kiana had to be at the church this morning at 6 am to go to the temple with the young women and young men to do baptism for the dead.
It was early but worth it kiana said she really enjoyed it and she rode with brother Heck, Ali, Julie and Ashly. On there way home they stopped at mcdonalds and Brother Heck made the girls order something. It is funny because kiana is like me and we hate to make other people pay for our stuff it is really hard. but he made her and then made fun of her because she didn't order a drink like everyone else.
Tag has been looking on the Internet for a dog for his parents and he found one on craigslist for a really good price. A male boxer he is nine months old. and the family was getting rid of him because he has the alfa male syndrome around other dogs. and they don't have any other animals except the wild cats so he should be good. anyway tag , kya and i went to nampa to pick up the dog and then we went home to get the rest of the kids and headed for moutian home where his parents were meeting us to get the dog. I think they are crazy for driving all that way for a dog. But i guess to then it is worth it. He is a good dog we all liked him. but dogs still stink and shed. YUCK.... Never again will i own a dog. His name is Dilion. Really pretty. I will add a picture if i have one.
We took tags pick up so we could haul the trailer to dads house and store it there. Tag doesn't need it right now. Joy has been there for a couple of days so we went to stevens to see everyone. they were having a bomb fire. We didn't stay long it was late. and we needed to get home and color eggs. I will post picture of that also.

Surprise

Today I had to run to Boise to pick up some flyer's for the height carnival. and go to the school and fold and mail them to the business for donations. I hope we have a good turn out in donations this year with the economy being so bad.
Then i had to be home and pick kiana up and drop her off at the church with out her knowing what i was doing when they turn 14 they go into a different class at church and they like to have a surprised party for them. so they asked me to bring her blind folded and just drop her off at the back of the church. Ya right like she was going to let me blind fold her. It was a fight then when i pulled up to the church she was mad because i was going to leave her. She got over it.
After i dropped her off i had to run to the store and get some food for her little party she was having with her friends at our house tonight.
At 5:30 pm they were going to bring kiana home and her friends were going to be at the house at 6 pm. I had to go pick up Ian on my way home. I was able to meet his mom she was funny and really nice. I told her i would like to do a scavenger hunt and she agreed she loves doing that in fact she did that for her kids once. Kiana was embarrassed that we talked about it.
Mckayla, Ian, Julie, colten, And chance all came over. I made food and they didn't eat. I am not going to make food next time it seems like they never eat. it is just a waste of my time and money. they all went home around 11:30 pm and then i took Ian home. And off to bed i went. Tired and have to get kiana up early for the temple trip.

I am finally back

Well my computer is finally back in action. I really wish that i would of taken it to Best Buy a long time ago to get it looked at. It took them 3 min to fix the problem. Go figure. Now i can go back and update the last three weeks. so keep checking back...... It really is nice to get back in the swing of things again....

tag had to go and get a physical tonight for his cdl license. And guess what they discovered he has high blood pressure. and had blood in his urine from his kidney disease. so now he needs to get it looked at again. and make sure things are going good.

Kya had her puberty movie at school today and i went and watched and listened to the nurse explain everything to the girls. it was quit interesting. She was pretty funny. She did a great job...

Keagen had baseball practice kya and graysen went with me and kiana went with tag to the dr.

Twins

Today was a great day.. A friend or i guess you could say a couple of friends found out they are having TWINS...So Exciting....
I had to run to Kuna to a meeting and i meet a really nice lady and her children.
Keagen had baseball practice.
It was kinda a slow day here...

Conference

Today is General Conference so we don't go to church we watch it on tv. Which is nice because we can be lazy and not have to get dressed to go any where. Until later kiana has an interview with the bishop for the Baptism for the dead temple trip at 4:30 pm.

It was a great day listening to all the great speakers. so inspirational.
