Lazy Days

It has been a slow week! We are FINALLY getting our van fixed from my little fender bender (with my sister-don't ask) it was about a year and a half ago! Since we haven't had a car, we have been taking it pretty easy. You would think that staying home I would have a clean house- it is so totally the opposite! What a disaster! I am sending the kids outside after lunch and while Mady naps so something can get clean! I found a cute sign that says "Please excuse the noise and mess... the kids are making happy memories" and also a sign that says "A clean house is a sign of a broken computer" -so true! Oh well!


Isn't summer wonderful? It is filled with playing outside, planting/weeding gardens, water activities and lots of popsicles! (speaking of popsicles, I bought some soda pop popsicles that have Orange, A&W Rootbeer, 7-up, and Dr. Pepper at Wal-Mart- Yummy!!)

The boys love to help me weed the flower beds and love to use their imagination outside. I love to listen to them play!
Madalyn is pulling herself up to the table, and anything else she is close to. She loves to stand in her walker. I am afraid I have another child who will not crawl. Patrick skipped crawling and walked at 10 mths, Reed was 8 mths when he walked, and now Mady wants to walk, she is only 7 mths- these are crazy kids! :)
Well, I am off to write my talk for Sunday. We have been in this ward for a year, and this is our first time speaking. Needless to say I am a little nervous! I just hope our kids will be good while we are switching off speaking and sitting with them! Oh, what fun!!

I am happy for you that you are finally getting your van fixed. I am sorry I didn't park good that day. I am just careless I guess. I got my payback though. I ran into Katie's fence post and totally bent it. I heard this noise and thought I was in their canal and when I wasn't I just drove home. When I got home I realized what really happened. Dumb me!

This post makes me happy. It is pretty impossible to keep a house clean while you have kids at home. I only have 1 and that statement stands true. I love the little quotes though and am going to have to print one up to remember. Nothing beats being "mom".

Hey, I'm your 3000th visitor. Do I win a prize? Seriously, 3000 visitors since like January. You are one popular seniorita! Don't worry about the talk, you'll do great. Bridger just started crawling like a week ago and he's already trying to pull himself up and walk along the couches. Little stinkers anyway. Before we know it they'll be back talking. Hee! Hee! Good luck on your talk.

Calise, I love reading your blog and looking at your fun pictures. You have a beautiful family! Sounds like life is going well for you, gray hair and all :) Don't worry. I've found a few of my own, and I don't even have children to blame them on....

You have your hands full! But, from what I see you are a wonderful mother! BTW- you are still young and spunky...don't let a little gray hair get you down! 25 is still YOUNG...(at least I hope so...:)
