hmmm...

I've been feeling like I should blog, but nothing spectacular has been going on around here. We have just been busy with life.

The kids finished up their soccer season on Saturday. Due to all the rain, it was a short season, but the kids had fun.

School will wrap up for us on Friday, and the kids have finals on Thursday and Friday. School doesn't actually end until next week since swine flu extended it 2 days, but we already had plans to head out of town this weekend, so we are finishing up early.

Speaking of heading out of town, we have a busy week ahead of us getting ready. Not only am I packing all of us to go, I am also finishing up wedding stuff. We are all getting very excited to get on the road. Our plan is to leave on Friday afternoon, and Barry (who has Friday off of work and can sleep all day) will be driving all night Friday night. I will drive on Saturday, and we should make it to Ogden, Ut. by Saturday night, where we have hotel reservations. It will be a nice place to stop, and we will let the kids play in the indoor pool and we can all stretch and relax for a bit. From there, it is only a 4 or 5 hour drive up to my sister's house in Idaho. Barry will be flying home on Monday morning (he has to be back at work on Tuesday), and then we are in a marathon race to get a wedding/reception together by 1:00! Should be lots of fun!!!

It has been a scary week, medical-wise, for both a niece and a nephew. My newborn niece, Bella, has been hospitalized. She got a nasty bacterial infection that she has had to fight off with the doctor's help. Thankfully she is home now and doing much better. My grown nephew, Travis, was in a nasty car accident late Friday night. He was not wearing his seat belt, and as a result he had to have recontructive surgery on his face. He is so lucky that he didn't lose an eye. I thought that he had been thrown from his car, but he wasn't. He did fly up over the airbag, though, and his face left a nice impression on the top of the car just above windshield. He has been in ICU, but is hoping to go home today. I am very grateful that they both are ok. Trav will require more surgeries on his face, but he is alive. It could have been a different outcome so easily.

Kayti and Josh finished up seminary last week, and both of them acheived "Master Scriptorian"... that means they memorized all 25 scripture masteries, and read their scriptures for 200 days consecutively. Kayti also had perfect attendance. I am so proud of both of them!

So... maybe I had more to blog about than I realized! ;)
