Well it is weekly or weakly post time(whichever is more appropriate) The -49 degree weather this morning is making me really excited to leave for the Carribbean. The bad news is that it is supposed to be worse tomorrow. BRUTAL! We were really sad to hear about the passing of President Hinkley last night. He has been the rock of the church for a really long time. We will miss him but I'm sure he is very happy where he is. So last week was weird, at least for me. I started to feel like Job with all kinds of weird physical afflictions. I got a zit that went totally crazy and turned into a face infection. My whole cheek was swollen up to my eye and turning an odd color so I started taking antibiotics. It is way better now but I still have a lump in my cheek. Then my eyes got really scratchy and felt like something was in them, that's better now too. But now I have a girl problem from the antibiotics. Good times! On saturday we went swimming at the wave pool for Grace's birthday. The kids had a blast, Erik included. He especially loved the water slide.
This week is cold. I am going to get things done for my trip like cleaning, shopping, arranging a sub for primary etc, etc. I went to the Dr. today and got a perscription for a nauseau patch just in case. I want to try and have everything super organized so that I won't kill off my Mom. I am anxiously awaiting the arrival of the bathing suits that I ordered from Modbe. Hopefully they will work out or I need to go shopping. I am tempted to place one more order for Cold Water creek stuff.
Well I have babbled enough for now. I need to head out into the freezer to pick up Sommer from the tutor. It actually is colder outside than in a freezer. Live it up Arizona peeps!

Finally Finished
Well it's Tuesday so we are back in the swing of things for the week. It is proving to be busy as usual. All the lessons for the girls start again this week. Today Liv has ballet and Sommer has piano. Liv also needs to get a urine test. She just finished another antibiotic for her bladder and they want to make sure that it actually got rid of the infection. She seems to be feeling good so that is a good sign. Tommorrow I am taking her to a naturopath so it will be intereting to hear her take. Olivia has also been referred to a urologist. I'm not sure yet when the appointment will actually be. It's kind of ridiculous. I have to wait until March for Erik's test results from his November ultrasound and VCUG.
Ok so now it is Saturday. I got side tracked as I usually
And now it is Sunday night, but I will not give up. Ok Liv's holding out seems to be infection free at the moment (knock on wood). We saw a naturopath on Friday for her and she did some voodoo with crystals and muscle testing... end result, no food allergies and the problem is in her kidney not bladder. She is now on a course of homeopathic medicine to help heal the kidneys. Liv is so tough!!
Sommer had her celebration of learning at school on Thursday. This is where they show their parents all they have been working on. She is doing great and seems to be improving. She showed me this music that she composed on the computer with a program called Garage Band. Move over Timberland. I was impressed by how good it was and how complicated with the different rhythms etc. It actually sounded like a good song.
Erik is totally into books. He doesn't speak but if you ask him to find a picture in the book he can. Yesterday the kids spent a really long time playing out in the piles of snow we just got even though it was -10. Erik had his own little showel and was helping his dad shovel the drive way.
Friday night Sean and I watched Live Free Die Hard, go Bruce! Saturday night we were supposed to go to a Fireside but I was an emotional basket case so we stayed home. I think I am starting menopause. Church was church and we went for dinner at Mom and Dad's. We are starting back up with alternating houses for Sunday dinner. It is really nice to have church done by noon. It was -22 on the way home, ouch!
Well it is time to put the kids to bed and read some Harry Potter. Dumbledore got killed last night, so sad. Tomorrow is late entry for school so we don't have to be there until 10am. Yay!!!!!!
Oh I bought an actually evening gown for my cruise. It is black and white and goes to the floor. I've never worn anything like it in my life. It is really pretty. I will post a picture.

Ice Skating
Sommer and Olivia got real ice skates this year and it is their new love. In fact they just went again last night. I have to say I am also loving it because Sean takes them and I get a bit of a break. Anyway I believe these pictures are from the first day they used their skates. You can see that Daddy and Uncle Cade(whom the girls absolutely love)helped them and they had lots of fun.

BS'07
The girls went and spent the night at the Banff Springs again this year. It was again tons of fun. The excitement leading up to going is almost as fun as going, and it is always over way too fast. We ate a delicious meal at the hotel, visited and toured around admiring the drunk dancers from the many business groups that were there. Saturday we went on a freezing cold yet enjoyable sleigh ride and then did a little shopping down town Banff. Of coure we began and ended our excursion with some yummy Starbucks drinks and treats. AHHHHh, until next time BS'08!!!

It's Over
Well today is the last day of Christmas holidays. Kerri, Cade and baby Luke left this morning and then it is back to school tomorrow. We were sad to see the Ritchies and then the Christensens leave. Hopefully we will see them again soon. I tried to steal baby Luke but they wouldn't let me keep him. We started 9:00am church today and I made it for the opening song. I have to say that so far I love it. It was so nice to be home and done by lunch. It is a lot easier on the children. Both my girls are excited to go back to school, bizarre but ok. I am not excited to have to get them there by 8am. I don't like morning. I like no schedule better than schedule. Oh well, back to reality, and back to Jenny Craig. It's time to finish once and for all. I have about 5 weeks until my Carribean cruise and so it's time to bust a move. Starting tomorrow, strict JC and exercise. I'm so excited for the cruise by the way. I have to admit though that I have already had some leaving my children pains. Good thing Mimi is around or I would never be able to do it. I should probably mention the holidays. It was really fun to have my whole family together. The children loved it. It absolutely flew by. New Year's resolutions,..... I have none. So there! My kids are good.... however Olivia is still being plagued by bladder infections. They are finally sending her to a urologist. I really hope that we can get this figured out poor girl. Both the girls got ice skates and are now addicted to ice skating. They have been going with their Dad almost every day. Sean is still planning on doing a marathon in Utah this year if you want to come cheer him on. He also wants to read the Old Testament. The girls and I have been reading the Book of Mormon everynight. Maybe we can finish it this year, there's a resolution for you. Well now I'm babbling. I'll save some for next post.
