7th Heaven

Not to toot my own horn, but we are celebrating our seventh anniversary. I can't believe we have been married for seven years. Of course if you take our three kids and divide those years by them, it is amazing. We have had a kid every 2.37 years if you figure it mathematically.

But it has been a wonderful, fun, stressful, crazy, irrational, emotional, and spiritually growing seven years. You think you know it all, then you get married and you find out otherwise, correct?

I am so glad to be married to Kale. I can't picture my life without him, and that includes his Peacock sense of humor that he has. I can't picture my life without our children either, but without him it would be insane. It is nice to know you have someone there to fall back on, when the kids have driven you to the point of pulling out hairs, or when you want to talk, or just to sit and watch TV with. Companionship is what they call it I do believe. It is so wonderful to have a companion. We might not always get along, but I do think that is part of the fun of being married. Finding out the similarities you have and the big deep differences. You can talk about both, but it is the differences that make things interesting.

But for our anniversary we went to a new restaurant in St. George. It is the Texas Roadhouse. Great food and good prices. Later, probably tomorrow on our "actual" anniversary, we will drink some sparkling cider and celebrate with the kids instead of leaving them with a sitter...they should enjoy that.

Sunday Rush

What is it about Sunday mornings that make life crazy. Maybe it is the fact that our church starts at 8. We have yet to get there on time....

Today our bishop, who is Kale's boss, asked us if we would speak sometime in October...I hate being asked that...So I think we will be speaking at the end of the month...at least once you've done it, it is done.

We put Ender into his johnny-jumper today for the first time. Talk about heaven. He was really suprised at first that when he kicked his legs he bounced. But then he really got into it. He was giggling and laughing most of the time. Then his brothers came along and tried to assist him. That could get dangerous. So I had to keep them away from him.

Who's Me?

It didn't occur to me tell now, that I haven't introduced myself really.

I am a mother of three entertaining boys. Raiden is five, Judge is three, and our newest Ender is four months old.

Raiden just started kindergarten and is loving it.
Judge is stuck at home and is hating that his friend is gone.
Ender...well feed him, hold him, and play with him and he is good.

My husband, Kale, teaches at the middle school here. He is responsible for the sixth grade history.

And I am currently employed as a page at the Mesquite library. Not a glorious job, or well enjoyed for that matter, but it adds to the money pot.

Other than that I love to read. Hand me a good book, and don't interupt me and I can be good for hours. But take into consideration the children, and it usually is minutes these days instead. I also like to cook, mostly desserts.... Brownies and Chocolate Chip Cookies are the current favorites these days.

Starting on Monday I became a member of the all famous Soccer Mom club. I don't have the van yet, but I have two kids playing. One on the green team, the Little Thunders, and another on the orange team, the Giants.

That mostly covers it for now I guess...
