Painting

Rachel, I am so glad you had a good time.  I am sad that Casey hurt his leg.  I hope it is OK.  It sounds like you had a good time.  Karen way to go on the grass.  It is a job.  Robin met at us at Julie's and we painted.  Jen told her that everything had to be really basic.  Gray is the popular color right now so we painted two bedrooms downstairs and Robin did one and me and dad did the other one.  We even got the hallway done.  It looked so much better.  She has a lot of work still to do.  I guess their was mold in the ceiling so Johnny and his friend were ripping that up.  It was pretty messy.  She wants to put it up for sale in two weeks.  I think we are going to help her on Thursday night.  The guy next door trimmed all her trees and Austin tilled up the back yard.  It looked so much better. We came home and just vegged.  Tomorrow we are going to go visit grandma.  LOVE MOM

We're Back

Congratulations on the raise Robin.  I am glad that everyone is doing well.  We had a fun time overall.  It was good to get out.  Friday we went to the bank and the home loan lady wasn't their but another lady talked to us and answered our questions and took our information down.  She gave us a list of stuff to get together which we mostly have.  We headed up to the Oneida narrows and we brought the canoe along.  The campgrounds were all full so we stopped at a day use area so we could have a fire and cook hot dogs and smores.  Casey had called Calleen and she met us up their.  We had a fun time.  The kids swam in the water and it was fun to have a fire.  The kids were cute.  We decided to just drive around until we found a spot to camp since we didn't have to use a campground since we already made a fire.  We didn't find anything until Lava hot springs where we found a campground with spaces and it was free.  It seemed nice and we were having fun but it was close to a rain road track.  We thought well their will be a train or two but it turned out to be grand central station.  Their were trains all night so we were tired in today but the kids were really good about it.  My phone ran out of batteries so I only have one picture from today.  Oliver wanted to go hiking so we went into Lava and walked along the river.  The boys loved it and Ruthie was done so we sat at a park for a while.  We had pizza for lunch and were going to go swimming but the lines were so huge that we left.  Lava had so many people their is was crazy.  Casey wanted to canoe the Bear River so we went back to the Oneida narrows.  He was worried about doing the popular part with the rapids with the canoe but they ended up going down it.  Ruthie fell asleep in the car so I drove down to pick them up and let her sleep.  I stopped twice along the river and they were having fun.  Me and Ruthie were waiting at the take out point and I saw Casey and the boys walking.  The canoe had hit a rock and the boat tipped over.  Casey was able to get the boys to the shore but it was scary for them.  Casey's leg got bunged up.  The walked to the road and someone gave them a ride down to the bottom.  He went back up and found the canoe with a friends help.  So we went up and picked it up with the van.  The canoe was dented but Casey thinks he can hammer it out.  We had dinner in Preston which tasted really good.  Sorry that is a long post.  We had a fun time and Isaac really wanted to go camping again with trains.

Love
Rachel

Saturday

Robin congrats on the raise. My day was good. I got up and mowed my lawn. It was nice to do while it was cool. Then around lunch I went grocery shopping. It is nice having food in my house again. Then I was just lazy the rest of the day. I hope painting went well mom. I hope everyone had a great day. Bye

We made it

It made it to the weekend.  Robin congratulations on your raise.  I hope it is a good one.  Karen it was nice to talk with you this evening.  Rachel, I hope you have a wonderful time camping.  I am glad you got to go.  Work was good and I got to leave a little early because I was over my time.  It felt nice.  We just vegged at home and that felt nice.  I am going to Julie's in the afternoon to help paint.  I hope it works out OK.  LOVE MOM

Friday

Well last night (or thus morning depending on how you look at it) it was lightining, thundering, and raining at about midnight until 1. It was bright and loud so I couldn't sleep thru it. So I was tired today. Hopefully tonight I will sleep tight. Other than that my day was good. Work went by pretty quick. I got subway for lunch and it tasted good. I hope everyone had a great day. Bye

Late

Sorry I didn't blog last night. I went to the shinedown concert. It was fun. It rained a bit but I brought an umbrella so I made it out alive. I finally had my year review and got a raise so that was fun. Today was good but I was tired. I came home and took a nap and sewed for a bit. It was nice to relax. Hope everyone had a good friday

Robin

Late

Sorry I am blogging late, I had book group and we didn't get done until late.  Today was a good day.  We rode our bike to the school and did summer reading.  Then we went to the library which was fun, we got our free books for reading all summer.  Ruthie pooped at the library and I failed to bring an extra diaper somehow so we didn't stay long.  After lunch we went swimming.  I was kind of dragging my feet on it since it was kind of windy but it was the perfect day to go and we had a really fun day.  It wasn't very crowded which made it a lot nicer.  We were able to go on the slide a bunch of times.  We stayed until dinner time.  After dinner we went and visited Leona and she is doing good.  I am going to take her shopping Monday.  We came home and then I went to book group.  It was fun to talk with everyone and it was a nice evening.  Casey is taking tomorrow off and we are going to the bank and then camping so I am not going to blog tomorrow night but will on Saturday night.  Love you guys.

Love
Rachel
