Family Reunion

We had our Blake family reunion the 2nd week in June at The Big Rock Candy Mountain...yes, that is an actual place! Who knew!? We had a lot of fun! 
Here is us on a little bike ride

Of course Nathan and Blake found some dirt to play in. This is where they spent more of their time

Here we are all just hanging out, chatting. It was nice and relaxing

Ice cream break





Roasting marshmallows


One of the best parts of this reunion was that we couldn't get any cell reception! No phone calls, texts, or emails! It was fun to just take a break from everything and to see family that we don't see that often!

Grandpa's funeral

My Grandpa's funeral was yesterday. 

I love this picture of my dad and Grandma

 Here are all the boys carrying the casket. 

The nice thing about the funeral was that everyone was together. We got a family picture with everyone in it. It's been a long time since that has happened. 

It was a nice funeral. It was sad, especially to see my Grandma...they've been together for 63 years!

Dressing Your Truth discount

For anyone interested in Dressing Your Truth (I wish I had more time to explain how awesome it is) here is a link to get it at a discount...it's normally $297 (I know, that's a lot) but if I refer you right now you get it for $99
I know that's still a lot but it's totally worth it!

(No, I am not selling this, or making any money off of it, I just think it's cool so I'm sharing)

Basically you learn what your energy type is and then you learn how to dress according to your type.
I have loved learning my energy type and the types of my family. She also has a book called "The Child Whisperer" where you learn the types of your children and then you learn how to better parent them according to their types. I am loving that book! Okay that's all. I'm off to do homework!
(Only 3 weeks left of school!!!)

A catch up post

I have a minute to post on here and since it's been a while I thought I would write a few things. Actually I don't really have a free minute since I have 3 tests coming up this weekend I should be studying for...or folding the laundry that is still in the dryer from my last laundry day (friday)... or starting on dinner for tonight...or doing the dishes since the breakfast dishes are still out....(oops). Oh well. There will be time for all of that later :) Right now I need a break. So let's see...what has been going on around here. I think I'll just post some pictures from the last few weeks and explain them.

Here we go. We got a gift card to Chili's for Christmas and we had planned to use it to go out on a date but then one weekend, we just decided to take our kids out. We don't usually (ever) take them out to eat so we thought it would be a fun family activity. They were actually pretty good and we had fun. And of course, we took a couple pictures of it since who knows when this will ever happen again :)


Wes took the boys to Home Depot to their kids workshop at the beginning of the month and they loved it. Saturday's have turned into the days where we go to Home Depot anyway to do some kind of project or to repair something on the house, so it was fun for them to do a project. They made cute Valentine mail holders. You can tell they are my kids because they both chose my favorite color, Pink!


Every Tuesday night, Wes has been playing basketball so we go and watch him. Well really, I go and watch him and the boys run up and down the bleachers, non-stop, until the game is done. They have so much fun though. 

This is a random picture but we had to take it. The boys lined up every single car, truck, airplane, helicopter that they have. They even organized them into groups so we took some pics to remember how cute they are :)




 (I think we have enough Lightning McQueen cars!)



And then we have Valentine's day. The day we have a good excuse to dye our food pink! 
We also did our traditional Valentines that we sent to our families. They boys had fun, and let's be honest, I had fun too. I love sending Valentines to everyone. It's one of my favorite holidays!





There you have it, the last few weeks all summed up from these pictures. In between these activities are the usual life things that are going on. I'm in class 3 days a week, doing homework every night, teaching piano 4 days a week, carpooling to preschool, watching Wes play basketball and the everyday life things. I can't wait to be done with school. There are a few things I like about it, but really, I don't love school. Wes has been a huge help in me getting through school. He sits down with me EVERY. NIGHT. to help with my homework or help me study for a test or edit a paper I'm writing. When I get my degree in May, it should really say his name on there too! He is so awesome! I have 9 piano students now and I love that! All my students are so cute and I am having fun teaching them. I just wish life would slow down a little. It's funny to say that because when I lived in Idaho I was so bored! I just wanted a friend to do stuff with, or a calling to keep me busy, or something outside of staying home every day with my baby watching tv. Although, I wouldn't ever want to go back to that, sometimes I just want a little break :) Life is good. :)
