Well we are back in St. George and holy cow it is so hot!!!! I got out of the car and thought I was going to melt!!!! We have got most everything unpacked and are trying to get it arranged how we want it.
This evening after dinner the three boys pulled out some paint and paper and Dustin said,"Mom I need to do some painting." It was so cute! I miss being at moms house and just being able to go into the craft room and paint and work on my journal any time I wanted to. I miss everyone so much. It was nice to be so close that we could just get together at the spur of the moment.

I will try and post some pictures of the house and give everyone a virtual tour!!! It is a pretty nice house with plenty of room and a big back yard. But the nicest thing is that it is right next to the elementary school so the kids can just walk down three houses and go play on the playground. The neighbors are super friendly to. We have had so many people over at the house! I have never had so many people knock on my door ever. It is very nice!!!! Cookies, bread and limeade are good treats!

Daisy and the guinea pig are both getting fat. The pig has about 3 weeks left and Daisy has about 4 weeks left. We will have animals for every kid in the neighborhood!!!!!

Everyone is feeling better. Hope fully we are on the mend and wont have any more sickness. All I hear now is an occasional cough. Which is great!
The weather has finally perked up so we can be outside for a change! It has been really nice to go and play on the soft green grass and not have to worry where the kids are and who they are bugging!
Troy is really missing us so we will probably be going back to HOT St. George in a few more weeks. I think I can hold him off until the fourth of July:)
Sarah is getting restless for school to start. She is very anxious about starting a new school. I think she will do great but she has her doubts.
It will be just Dustin and me at home all day when school starts back up. That will be kinda weird but kinda nice.

This is not what we feel like !!!!!!

I took Cameron in to the doctor last Sunday because he was coughing uncontrollably and had a hard time breathing. They gave me some medicine to help him with his breathing and sent us on our way. Then throughout this week we all got sick with stuffed noses and coughing. Sarah started in with a fever for two days but she is feeling much better now. Jimmy and Dustin both just have stuffed noses and are coughing. Same with me. Cameron, who started the whole thing, got a little better with the medicine the doctor gave him and then Friday he started getting a fever. He has had a fever since then so this afternoon I took him back in to the doctor and they tested him for the flu virus. He tested positive for swine flu!!! So now we are all under quarantine for a week. They told me it could spread by him coughing on us or not washing our hands and his. So I am trying to keep it as sterile as possible. I have Lysol, hand sanitizer and antibacterial soap to bath with and wash our hands with. It really sucks being sick and trying to take care of other people that are sick.

So please do not come and visit us for at least a week!!! Unless you want to get sick!!!!

Mom is thrilled..........by the way!:(

We spent some time with Aunt Teresa and her family swimming and playing with the goats and chickens. The kids went swimming with there cousins, Amanda, Whitney, Ethan and Amy. They had so much fun and used up alot of energy!!! We had a barbecue in her backyard and the kids ran and played in the yard and playhouse while we sat and visited with each other. Then of course we had to venture out and visit the goats and chickens! The kids loved it! Dustin right away caught a chicken and not a few seconds later he had another one. One in each arm!! He was so funny!! Cameron and Jimmy on the other hand could not catch them and had to have Dustin's help. Sarah and Cameron walked the baby goats on a leash around the yard and thought that was pretty cool!

Sarah is moving on to a new phase of school. No more elementary!! She will go to an intermediate school next year. It is for 6th and 7th graders only. She is very excited to say the least!!! She is growing up so fast!! For those of you who talk to her you know what I mean. She is a very amazing girl and I am so proud of her and the choices she is making in her life. She has a very special and strong spirit and I know she will do great things in her life. She is such a good example of love and service to everyone in our family. I love her so much!!! I couldn't make it without her!!! I thank Father in Heaven for letting us have her in our family!

Best Friends!!

Here is an awesome picture of my scar from surgery. Where there are no sterry strips that is part of the scar from the first surgery and the rest is from the second one. They did have to recut some of the old scar for the second surgery so that part is more tender than the rest. We measured it and it is 6 inches long. WOW!!!!! But for the most part I am doing really good. Walking and doing a little more every day. Kirsten is here and we had cake for her birthday yesterday. She is so funny!!!! She cooked us spaghetti one night and couldn't figure out how to use the electric can opener. And then she was serving up dinner she put some on my plate and asked if I wanted more. I told her yes so she was trying to scoop more but every time she scooped could only get four or five noodles on the scoop. I was laughing so hard! Mabye you had to be here but I thought it was funny!!!

Daisy thinks she is a cat!!!!

Everything is going great! Mom and Michele have been great help and doing awesome. We have been visiting a lot and doing a few little craft projects with the kids. I am excited to see Kirsten and Missy on Tuesday. I hope Troy doesn't drive her nuts to fast. I haven't been doing to much. Just trying to walk a little every day and take it easy on the couch or in my comfy chair. It is getting pretty hot down here. I think it was in the 90's today. Hot Hot Hot!!!!!
I hope everyone had a great mother's day! I did! I got a new set of sheets. Two pillows, shams and comforter that all coordinate. I will take a picture and post it when it gets made.

Happy Mother's Day!!!!!!!
