I Do Have Other Children, I Promise.

I was looking at my blog today and noticed that all my posts have been about Rachael lately. Ok, so do you think I have a little issue of her leaving the nest on the brain?

My other kids have been wonderful too. Jill is showing her independence with vigor lately. I have been up much too late working on homework, getting the house in order, and supervising lovebirds. So, since Jill was still asleep after the kids left this morning, I decided to go back to sleep for awhile too. I woke up about an hour later and Jill, who had been awake for a little bit, informed me that she was hungry so she got her own breakfast. She ate some cereal in a bowl that she got down by herself but she didn't have any milk. She said it as such a matter of fact, that she reminded me of the little girl from the revised Miracle on 34th Street. You know the girl, the one who talks like she is 24 instead of 4? Well that is my Jill to a T.

School is coming to a close and I am darn excited. I love it when my children are home and we don't have daily responsibilities looming over our heads. We play a lot of games, talk a lot, and of course sleep! The only draw back to all this fun is poor Mark who has to work every morning. I do feel for him and wish he was partying with us.

With school ending comes of course Rachael's graduation tomorrow. We have family flying in as I write this and we couldn't be more excited. Then with the party on Friday we are going to be starting off this new adventure of Rachael's with a bang! I really am excited for her she has so much fun ahead!

Ha ha ha, I so know where you're coming from. I remember when my life was mostly about McKenna. Lately it's all about Noel. They'll each get their turn. Only, just like the baby books, we probably won't be blogging by the time our babies are graduating. However, they'll be the most spoiled. They always are!

Don't let this deter you from blogging about Rachael's graduation and party, etc! I'm dying to see and hear about it.

Besides, I'm sure with the summer here someone's gonna bust a lip and need stitches or something - then you can blog all about them!

You see, it all comes out in the wash!

2009 Family Pictures

We had the funnest silliest adventure today. We decided that since Rachael's braces are off and Mark and I have lost a few pounds that it would be a great time to take our family pictures. I have seen some really cool looking pictures done at the salt flats so we took a drive out there. Yep, 2 hours later, after making a 20 min. past our destination detour, having to stop at the only gas station in the middle of nowhere for a bathroom trip, and just as the sun was going down over the mountain we pulled up. The couch was very quickly unloaded and then in a very hasty 10-15 min. We sat, posed, and pushed the button to take our picture over and over again. It was such a good time with all of us laughing and enjoying every minute of the warm light and family bonding. Please note that these pictures are straight out of the camera and I have not edited them yet. Even with that being said, I LOVE them!!! It is just what I was envisioning. Once editing is done I think they will be quite ...

Questions Answered, Questions Created

Today was Mark's appointment with the pulmonologist at the Huntsman Cancer Institute. I wish I could say that we came away with answers, good or bad, but instead Mark and I just feel confused. We got to the appointment about 15 minutes early which gave us plenty of time to fill out the piles of paperwork. As we were filling out the paperwork we noticed a sign that was posted with the names of each of the doctors and whether each of them were on time or not. According to the sign our doctor was right on time so after finishing the paperwork we sat back expecting that we would get in within a few minutes. Well, a few minutes turned into a half hour, which turned into an hour plus. Finally they called us back to our room and the nurse assured us that the doctor was just writing up a couple prescriptions for the previous patient and then he would be right in. Of course right in meant another 20 minutes or so. The doctor finally came in and proceeded to ask us questions about Ma...

A Story Good Enough for Halloween?

I have a story to tell. I should have told it a month ago in preparation for Halloween but alas, I didn't think to write about it until tonight. So, if you are ready for something spooooky then sit back and enjoy. When I was a little girl living in Northern California my parents chose a house for our family to live in that was, at first inspection, perfect for us. It was a traditional English Tudor style, 2 story house with 4 bedrooms, 3 bathrooms, a living room, dining room, large pantry, and a large kitchen/eating area. There were large picturesque windows in every room that looked out over the vast undeveloped rolling hills that were right out our back door. The house was surrounded by large oak trees and a quaint brick path that led from the street up to our doorway. Our family was happy there. One bedroom for the girls, one bedroom for the boys, an office for dad, and a large master bedroom for our parents. Everything was perfect except for one major factor. There...
