More Fun Times at Amazing Jakes

We went to Amazing Jakes which is an all you can eat buffet (salad, soup, potatoe, pizza, pasta and dessert bar), indoor laser tag, rock climbing, arcade, several rides, mini train, bowling, mini golf, bumper cars and go karts all indoors! We had a blast we got there at like 3pm and ate, went and played til 8pm,ate again and headed home around 8:30pm. We were full and had a blast! Just look at these pictures...they crack me up especially my Mom driving that semi truck game! I would highly suggest going on a Tuesday before 3pm to get the discounted all day pass and staying til as late as you want or closing time which is 10pm...well worth the money! Super Fun!

What a fun week!

We had such a great time with my Mom, Sister Brandy and two little sweeties Kyah & Adia! They flew in on Sunday and went to church with us which ended up being my last Sunday in Relief Society for who knows how long because I was called into Nursery & in cub scouts as the committee chair (that's another story in it's self). Anyways we all gained about 5-8 pounds during the week that they were here with all of the good cooking each of us did. The kids had a blast playing and I'll be blogging more fun stories later this week. We took a trip to Springerville/Eagar, Arizona to visit some of my Mom's brother's and sisters & cousins etc. WE had a great time and were treated very well with our Uncle Jerry putting us up in their beautiful new home and all of the home cooking by Aunt Susan & Auntie Debbie! So much fun visiting with everyone! We drove back home Saturday evening and then I had to return them to the airport Sunday morning. Boo Hoo!!! We were sad the rest of Sunday missing them already!

Thanks for coming we had a blast and only wish it were longer or that we lived in the same city so we could play all of the time! Thanks to Pops & Tyson for letting your special girls come & visit us!

I have to work the entire week but at least it's only from 8am til noon Mon - Fri....so FAMILY if you are in town I know they would love to see you...come on over or maybe we can meet up in the afternoon or evening while they are here! :o) We want to take them to Amazing Jakes, a museum and a water park or pool during their stay and you're welcome to join us! We can go out to eat or have a bbq....

Somethings about me

I thought this little game (tag) looked fun....

I am: A bit stressed out and very tired
I think: About things too much and over analyze
I Know: That Jesus lived and died for us all without a shadow of a doubt!
I want: My family to be healthy & happy
I have: 2 Awesome kids and one amazing husband
I wish: That we were going on a vacation!
I hate: Soured rags or wash cloths and that I have a bad temper & yell
I miss: My Mom & Sister and all of our family & holding my babies when they were babies!
I fear: Time passes by too quickly and I don't cherish the precious times with my family like I should and that I won't ever have another baby.
I feel: Very blessed to have the two babies I do have, a wonderful husband, and a great family!
I hear: The AC going as usual this time of year and my kids watching iCarly on Disney
I smell: My burning candle mmmmm
I crave: Chocolate and Dr. Pepper
I search: Blogs way too much
I wonder: What in the heck am I doing on the computer again wasting precious time! :o)
I regret: Not taking time for the little things that matter in life and not creating better reading habits for myself & kids and not finishing college. One day!
I love: My family so so much! I also love mexican food especially guacamole & just about anything deep fried!
I care: About everyone, just about everything sometimes to a fault and I also care about what other's think too often, but that's just the way I'm wired.
I always: Fix my hair and put my make up on before I leave the house I was raised that way!
I am not: Patient
I believe: What goes around comes around...so be kind to others...obviously I don't always practice it with those closest to me.
I dance: For fun and sometimes for exercise! I love it even if I'm not good at it!
I sing: All the time....I love to sing, love music and prefer to sing loud and proud but that's hard to do at church with hymns ha ha
I don't always: Read my scriptures like I should, do the dishes, exercise, leave on time, I could go on and on. :o)
I fight: With my kids & sometimes Will when I am stressed because I'm so easily upset (bad temper)....I wish I didn't take out my stress on them poor little kids
I write: A to do list almost daily...weird I know and have since like 5th grade!
I lose: My temper and wish I would hurry and find it and then keep it!
I win: Every time Will or the kids smile or at least I feel that way! I also win all the races I compete in...that would include taking off at every green light as fast as I can! ha :o)
I never: Go to bed or leave the house without hugging and kissing my family I can't say that I never go to bed mad though...hopefully
I listen: To a huge variety of music and love it! It can turn my frown upside down immediately! What a blessing music is to me
I can usually be found: On the computer either for work or for checking out blogs or driving
I am scared: Of all bugs, snakes, anything that is creepy crawly and of course of anyone that is close to me getting hurt, sick or even worse dead
I need: More patience & A serious vacation!!! :o)

Now it's your turn! These are actually therapeutic and help me know who I am and who I want to be. I can't wait to read yours! :o)

Trying not to cry...

Will left today at about 12:30pm for Scout Camp and all of us miss him already! Calvin began crying as soon as we dropped Will off and cute Kenna tried comforting him by telling him that it would only be 2 nights etc...but after he kept crying she decided that she too didn't like when Daddy is gone and had a very sad face and watery eyes. We get home and I had a ton of stuff to do for Will on some house deals....wouldn't you know that the Internet goes down...the fax machine starts acting up and the deadlines come and go. I tried everything to fix the computer...ended up calling & texting Will until just about an hour ago. I've felt like crying all afternoon myself...it's almost 7pm and I've not made dinner...don't feel like it....my dryer is beeping...my house is a wreck...I've not prepared FHE...I have a ton of projects I wanted to do before my Mom & Sister & Nieces get here Sunday (like painting, re-organizing the garage & closets etc). I know I should be counting my blessings instead of crying the blues. What a baby I am...just had a bad day and I don't look forward to tonight because I'm a wimp and hate sleeping without Will in the house. I know it could be way worse....thankfully I was finally able to tap into a neighbor's Internet with Will's wireless laptop. Tomorrow I'm off to work then as soon as I pick up the kids out doing a ton of bpo's in town, grocery shopping and finishing what I didn't finish today. Never ending busy cycle we call life right. :o)
