Ok whats going on...

So sorry I haven't posted in a while but I have been busy. We all of a sudden decided to change our Internet because they raise the rate by $22 a month which is insane. We decided to go through Verizon because it is wireless and we can take it with us. It is cheaper then what we usually pay for just high speed, before they decided I needed to pay more and right now I really didn't want to sign a 2 year contract again. So that is my situation I was trying to use the laptop but it just doesn't like me or something. I couldn't get the pictures I wanted to upload so I waited to do anything until I got my computer back up and running.
Then all of a sudden last week I decided that we have way to much stuff in storage and the kids have to many toys that I need to have a yard sale. AM I CRAZY. Well we went through the storage unit and then all of the toys and came out with enough stuff to sell. Today I got up at 6 and started getting ready for my big yard sale and by noon it was all over. Everything went great and I sold a bunch of stuff. Other then that not much has happened the past week and a half.
Oh yeah I did start getting my butt out of bed and going to the gym at 4:30 yes that is 4:30 in the morning. I can't tell you how good I feel doing that and the days I don't go I hated because I get so tired. I hope I can keep going and stay motivated. I love working out it just gets hard sometimes when you do it so much and don't see any RESULTS... But I guess that is life for me and it is something I will just have to work even harder at.
SORRY FOR THE LONG AND POINTLESS JIB JAB I WILL BE GETTING SOME PICTS ON SOON SEE YA......

1st Day of Kindergarten

Today is Sayd's first day of Kindergarten she is excited but scared. She is going to walk in with her friend Kadyn to breakfast and then to class.

I just hope that they remember which way to go. Maybe it's just me being worried but this is scary to me.
I just love the outfit we found for her for the first day. Gavin thought he got to go with her and he got his backpack and put it on. Then when we dropped her off for school he started to cry because I didn't leave him too. As soon as Sayd saw Kadyn she ran up to him and they walked in so maybe she isn't as scared as I thought. I am sure they will have a fun first day.

CAMPING

This weekend we wanted to get out of town but I didn't want to miss Heidi's reception so we just went camping up the canyon to Copley's.

We invited Greg and Nya up for dinner they ended up spending the night. The kids love to play with Nya. We are glad they were able to come and hang out.
The kids had a lot of fun throwing rocks into the water and watching the little fish swimming around.
This trip was fun we had dutch oven the first night and smore's. The next night we just did hot dogs and chips simple but yummy. I am not really that much of a hot dog person unless they are done over a fire.
The kids mostly wanted to be by their Dad starting the fire or what ever else he might have been doing. We took the kids BB guns and let them shoot at pop cans. Sayd is getting pretty good with hers.
Making Smore's YUMMY!!!!
Isn't it nice when the kids are getting along. But this only lasted about a minute and then they were pushing each other off the couch.
Cody and the kids went on a little trail ride on the little 4-wheelers. Cody said that Sayd did really good driving hers up the hill by herself.
Gavin still is a little crazy on his so Cody rode with him. I am glad he did because I could just picture Gavin driving his straight into the Creek.
She already looks Pro I love seeing how happy the kids are when they are having fun on their 4-wheelers. This was so much fun to just get away even if it was just up our Canyon.

I Think I Have My Stock Pile From A to Z Of Everything...

So this week GM cereals were on sale so I bought a bunch they were less then a $1 a box. When I got home I realized that I have more then I need. I pulled them all out and counted them and sorted them by date. In total I have 32 unopened boxes and 5 opened in containers.

I pretty much had to put them where they would fit.
I also got 10 Lysol cleaners 4 for $.77 each and 6 for $1.02 each not bad. We love the wipes for the camp trailer.
So this is my pantry I am so glad I even have one. This house is small and there really isn't a lot of storage space. I try to keep things organized and for the most part i do.
Everything is pretty much full. I bottled a lot of peaches and helped with some of my families last weekend so they are giving me some salsa.

When Tiff and Brandon moved to St. George from Cedar they gave me these 2 storage cabinets. Thanks guys. It has taken me a while to fill them up but I don't really think anything else will fit. Cody says at least if something happens we will be able to stay clean even if we starve.
This is my toilet paper stash 6 12pks and 5 4pks. There really isn't room for it anywhere so I just have it stacked almost to the roof next to my storage cabinets in the back hall. I am glad we have this stuff stock piled and I am glad that I am able to get it when it is really cheap or FREE. Someday I will have a HUGE storage room just for this kind of stuff at least that is my dream.
