Don't Worry!
I should not have started that last post with my DRAMA! No one needs to worry! Marianne is OK, my family is OK, everyone is OK! She and her sister had an incident, and she ended up at the E.R. for a Psych Evaluation. LOOOONG story short...she is happily sleeping back in our basement. We are eager for the Intermediate Care Facility to open in Payson, but for now, she will be with us. That is all, and I must go get some sleep!
September Wrap Up
Today was a HORRIBLY long day! Emphasis added on PURPOSE! I spent the day in the E.R. with my cousin Marianne. LONG story, that I'm not in the mood for right now! I'm going to blog about the rest of September to get my mind off of TODAY!
Back on September 10th we went as a family to the Elementary School Carnival! Cotton Candy, Bounce Houses, Cake Walks, and FRIENDS...what else can I say? Most definitely a great night out!
My sweet Kindergartener Kyle participated in the annual Incredible Edible Insect Show on the 17th! His Swedish Fish Fire Ants were adorable! We had a great time squishing and cutting the swedish fish to get them juuuust right! This is a super fun school tradition!
After the Bug Show we met up with my sister Kristina and her family for an afternoon at the zoo! We LOVE when our cousins come to town even for quick afternoons! We all had such a nice day at the zoo! Even Marianne ran into a friend from St. George while we were there...small world!
On the 24th and 25th, Jeff had some work to do up at a cabin and decided to make it an "in-door camping trip" with the boys! They had a blast riding the four-wheeler, hiking, playing games, seeing wild life, and cooking over the campfire!
While the boys were away, Alison and I stayed put and did some serious potty training! We had our moments, but she did such a great job! We've since had issues with going poopoo because someone likes to hold it in forever, but as of last week she seems so much more regular and much more comfortable! Gotta love this girl's facial expressions!
So there you have it! I'm sure there were more activities crammed into September that I'm ignoring, but this was a good glimpse! With February ending, I've still got 5 months of catch up, but I'm on a pretty good roll so far! All the pictures from the holidays might do me in, but I'll make it!

September
This blog isn't big enough for the list of excuses I have for not blogging, and it obviously wasn't big enough for all of the photos I post! I think I have figured things out, AND I will SLOWLY be playing catch-up once again! The following is a post that I did back in October and just saved as a draft. I realize no one but my Mom will care for all of these old posts, but my Mom is worth it!! Yes, Mom! You are worth me going through 5 months worth of photos and coming up with clever captions that make it sound like I remember what happened 5 months ago! The rest of you are worth it, too, but don't feel like you have to care about all that we have been up to! Here goes:
October 11, 2010
I had wanted to take the kids to a drive-in movie all summer, but it never happened. Well, on my birthday I got to decide what to do, so I finally made it happen. I know, I know. Not romantic or exciting or spectacular, but that's not where my life is right now. With my cousin living with us, I really just wanted to be out of the house with Jeff and the kids. We hit Five Guys Burgers and then went and saw Toy Story 3 and Despicable Me, and YES we all stayed up for both shows! It was a blast! We brought popcorn and treats and even the chocolate mousse cake that I made for myself! It got all squished in the brownie pan, but it was delicious! The pictures aren't the best because of the flash bugging the cars around us, but we really had a fantastic time! 
My birthday celebrations continued for several days! Lucky me! I had so many awesome friends and family send or bring by birthday greetings, presents, and treats! I did Cafe Rio with one group of friends, and my friend Bonnie had us over for a swim and banana cream pie another day! Our fantastic friends and neighbors, the Bertola's, even gave Jeff a gift card to Best Buy that they said they weren't going to use before it's expiration, so Jeff went and got me a new little camera to keep in my purse! I felt spoiled rotten! Thank you everyone!
