MIA and Cedar Breaks!

Since I just started this, and have already missed my weekly posting goal, I figure if I let any more time go by I may be in for it. I just want to start by referencing all to my lil sisters blog, she pretty much covers things, so if I have not posted recently, check hers out!


We went to Delta last week to visit Grandpa and Grandma S., and to visit our friends the Mincers. We had a great time swimming and catching up with everyone. Here's grandpa with the twins- Corby on the left, and Chayse on the right. ( I think...)


Before we left Tansyn had a friend (Jeremiah) over to play for a bit and have some bean burritos with no onion. Funny how much they look alike. Tansyn met him at a T-ball game. He said "Hey, you have dots like me, and Red hair like me." See below.

Parkyr ran away again tonight. I don't exactly know what I am going to do with him. Chris has been trying to find layouts for his website (he thinks he needs a personal site for work). So I was pulling up some sites and looking at different layouts when someone started pounding on our door. Chris answered and she ask, "Are you missing a kid? There is a 3ish year old running around by my house in his swimsuit. All I could get out of him was that he was trying to go swim." (That's right folks, no shoes, no shirt.....what a wonderful mother I am....add that to the White Trash label I've been given and soon I'll own them all!!) So Chris turned and counted the kids in my living room, 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6, (Anthony and Talia are up to spend the night) and alas! we knew we were missing one.


So, he went and picked him up. Each time he ends up missing, he is usually outside with the older boys. They decide they are done playing and leave him alone. He goes after them, or where he believes they have gone and wa-lla. One MIA doodle. At least he didn't have his bike to get away on. We were stupid enough to fix the flat tire and the "TRAIN" (choo, choo) wheels, I think I'll wait on the handle bars.




Saturday my little sister came up and we went up the mountain. It was FANTASTIC! The weather was great, and everything is truly beautiful right now. (See my sis's blog for a rundown of events.) I will post some pics too. I know that the hair slicked back is not very flattering, but its a quick "do" these days that counts.




Saturday night (somewhat instigated by jo) we had Jodie and Rendell over for a BBQ. The food was phenomenal. The company was good too, as long as Chris and I were talking! (JK JO) I decided maybe if we get them in the same room 6-7 more times maybe they will say more than "hi" to each other. It is funny how much they have in common. Movies, books, and a few other things. Crazy.




So the kids are tucked in, the babies are sleeping, I think now is the perfect time for me to get some shut-eye as well. Oh, by the way..Nice bids Matt. I only wished I could have seen you on the stage instead of just in front of it!

Hey, I said more than "HI" Thank you very much, Maybe if your husband would shut his trap and give the girl a chance to talk once in a while. Plus seating arrangements deffinatly need to be taken into consideration. Learn to sit by your wife Chris!

HI!!! Jeez I haven't seen Rendell in years. I think that Jodie should come to Zion--She's family! Plus I stalk her so I feel like I know her :)

I love the stories and pictures of the boys keep them coming. I really don't know how you do it. kudos to you sis.
