It's about time this gets updated....

So, life has been really great lately. I got to go home for conference and help my parents out a little so that they could go out of town. Man what a weekend. I got to Draper on Friday, Kaitlin and I spent our Friday night picking Cubby up at football. When we picked him up the weather was somewhat stormy so we got our entertainment from acting all rushed and panicked and telling Caleb that there was a tornado watch and we had to hurry home and get into our cellar. He was a little doubtful but I think for the most part he trusted his older sisters and was concerned. We even "called" dad to make sure we had enough food storage to last us a two weeks. Haha! It was all ruined when Cub called dad to ask if it was true and of course it wasn't. But we had our fun. Poor little Cubby....

Saturday morning I went to Cub's football game where I sat in the rain and pretty much froze my butt off. But it was still fun and it is always a crack up watching Caleb play. He is so dang cute!!

Hunter was a crazy one that weekend! (Crazy in a good way...ish). He did allll kinds of projects. Something I love about Hunter is that he is sooo smart, and once he gets started on a project there is NOTHING that will get in his way and stop him. A very good quality, I think. He started off by making a dress completely out of recyclable items, such as garbage bags, ziplock bags, ribbon, etc. I was actually really impressed! He used a punching bag as his dummy when Anna Sophia wouldn't cooperate. But it actually turned out really well. All throughout the weekend I would always see Hunt walking around with strange objects...and I found myself saying things like "Where are you going with that ligher?" or "What are you planning on doing with that bar of soap?" One time I even walked in on him making a "hot air balloon" in our entry way using 4 tea candles and a grocery bag. Ummmm that's a little questionable. But yeah, he's a smart kid!!


My roommate and I made quite a creation the other day. We made our friend who gave us the huge poop cake a huge slab of jello with a little surprise in the middle. It ended up falling apart and falling in to my roommate's lap on the way to his apartment. Oh well...he loved it and it was quite delicious.
Remember the poop cake??? New...Jello Blob
Tonight we had our annual 50 lap spirit relay! It was wayyyy fun. Pretty much what it is is every ward is a "team" and we chose a theme and dress up and make noise and have a ton of fun. And while the people in the stands cheer there are people who are "runners" for your ward and ideally each person would run one lap, but in the beginning we only had like seven runners! We recruited more people (me being one of them) so in the end everyone ran about 2 laps (some ran 4 laps, a full mile). We came in 3rd place which is really great considering our circumstances. It was freezing! I guess it snowed today (I didn't witness it) and it's definintely supposed to snow tomorrow and saturday. Ewwww

All of the runners! Go team!

Our faithful supporters!
Cool, well that's what I've got for you. It has been a very eventful week! Tomorrow my mom and Anna Sophia are coming up to see me for Mother's Weekend so that will be a blast. Hope everyone has a fantastic weekend!
