Sean Fishing with his bros

Sean just e-mailed me this photo of his fishing trip. He and his brothers went fishing on the Snake River this weekend. I am so excited for him. 11 years of marriage, and he has never done anything like this. (Too busy with work and kids!) They left on Friday morning at about 7am, and I am expecting him home tonight around midnight.

Apparently the fishing has been great, and the cookies I made were a hit! (Always good to know your cooking is appreciated!)

I have been blogging, and the kids have been playing gamecube and watching movies. For the grand finale, I think we will have a pizza for dinner. Kind of embarrasing to admit, but oh well, that's me!!

I feel so greatful for such a wonderful husband. I am so glad he got to do this. He is always so supportive of me. With that being said, I really do look forward to having him home tonight. :)

What a slacker!

Man, I have been wanting to update my blog for a couple weeks.  Time has really gotten away from me.  On the positive note, I have been really involved with the kids, and keeping up the home, so that is a good thing.  We are all doing good.  The kids had parent teacher confrences today.  We are so lucky to have such great kids, and wonderful teachers who care about them.  Even Emily has such a wonderful time at preschool.  I feel so blessed.  I have been enjoying cooking and organizing our home.  I have also been plotting how to stock up my food storage.  I missed Smiths case food sale, but am anxiously awaiting Ridleys in about 2 weeks.  I am going to start 2 new blogs.  One will highlight all the sales and bargains I find.  The second will be like a sight where you can exchange stuff with eachother  ie.  "I have an extra shower curtain and 4- 4T dresses, and baby blankets, if you know anyone who needs them (free)"   or " am looking for a night stand for my kids room (free or really cheap)."  I think I could open it so people could just post on it themselves, or send me an e mail I could just cut and paste from.  Basically it would just be offering it to people before loading it to the DI.  Do you think these would be a good idea?

HAIIIYAHH!

After church today as we we changing out of our church clothes, Jaron walks into our closet and flexes his muscles at Sean. Then he said "Dad, can I see your muscles?" Sean obliged. Then while Sean was ironing his shirt, he and Jaron started talking about the resurrection. Sean told him that our bodies would be made perfect, that missing limbs would be replaced, and that we would not have disease or sickness.
Here is the conversation:

Jaron asked: Will we be strong?
Sean said: Yes.
Jaron: Is Jesus strong?
Sean: Oh, yes.
Jaron: Does Jesus know kung fu?
Sean: What?
Jaron: Does Jesus know kung fu?
Sean: Jaron, do you think that Jesus needs to know kung fu?
Jaron: Yes, because if bad guys tried to beat him up he could (imagine the jump, sound, and hand jestures etc.) "HAIIIYAHH!"

Yep! Thats my boy!
