We survived the first day of school! They all had a blast! No tears! They all came home and talked my ears off :) Sarah did have a slight incident but everything turned out fine. She miss understood that I would pick her up after school and got onto a bus. I was totally frantic after about 20 min of sitting at the school waiting for her. I drove back home to see if she had walked and she wasn't there. I called Troy and told him what was going on and he suggested to just go back to the school. So I did. i was headed into the school to look for her and my cell phone rang. It was Sarah on the bus drivers cell phone. She was at Dixie High School, which is about 10-15 min from our house! I had a holly come apart! I went and picked her up and drove back to the school and talked to them about the confusion. Apparently I wasn't the only one who had the problem. There were a few other parents in the office looking for their kids also. SCARY!! But for the most part she had an awesome day. I am so happy they are all happy with their teachers. They all looked so cute in their new clothes and backpacks :)

Sarah got a cute new haircut for school.

Puppies

Well we have our puppies!!! Daisy had FOUR healthy puppies this morning. We have two boys and two girls. They are so cute. The colors are not what we expected but I think they are cute anyway :) The dad was red with a white patch on his chest. None of the puppies are red but both girls have the white patch on there chests. We have one dark brown male, one black and tan male, one female that's darker brown with a white stripe on the chest and one female that is light brown with a white stripe on her chest. Daisy is doing so good and being a great mama. She seemed to have had alot easier time with this litter than any of the other ones. Which is good :)

We took the kids to the splash pad Saturday. They needed something to cool them off. It was lots of fun. We went at about 7:00 at night and by about 8 it was nice enough outside to actually breath. The kids ran and splashed and layed in the waterfalls. It is a cool place to play. They have water that sprays up in a circular design and then in another area there is a "river" with rocks to climb on and waterfalls to lay under. Troy and I even got a little wet :)

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!
