Today was a good day. I talked to my good friend Katie and we decided to get together today. Then my friend Alyssa called and said she'd be in my neighborhood and wanted to kick it. So we went to my Mama's house and they came driving up with a new kiddie pool with a built in slide! Rock on. So the kids played and swam. Then Alyssa showed up and the kids all played in the back yard. Then we went to my House and Katie came. All the kids played very well together and we didn't lose Duma (our new kitten).
Meanwhile we read cookbooks or looked at teh yummy pictures. Flipped through gardening books, and shared wedding stories. I think Alyssa had the best one. Or worse I am not sure. We had a good time. I was sad when everyone had to go home. I actually had time with adults talking about things I like talking about. It was fun.

the awesomest guy.
So our home teacher is named Josh and Lucas told us Sunday that he was the awesomest guy. That made me laugh. However, josh is also a dentist so we took Lucas and Eden in on Monday. His office was amazing! The kids side had a jungle room and a under the sea room. The waiting room had a hidden picture mural, stuffed animals, books, games and video games. Amazing.
We took Lucas in the did the x-rays and then started checking his teeth. Lucas had 4 cavities. Hello bad Mom moment. I blame it on the sippy cups that I have allowed him to use for my own selfish reasons. Eden had no cavities yea!
Anyway I wish I video taped Josh cleaning and giving Lucas fillings and such. It was amazing. Lucas and Eden's experience was so positive that they went home and played "Josh" they were dentists.
We have to go back today for 2 more fillings. But Lucas is excited to go. Maybe it is because he got to pick a prize from the treasure chest and from the points prizes. I am telling you I thought I had a good dentist growing up. But Josh was amazing!!! We are totally going to have to do something nice for him.

I am slacking.
So we totally came home from Camp Verde. Life has just been really busy!!
The cabin was fantastic we went to recreation.gov and found a forestry cabin. That was so fun. We had a great little cabin with amazing stars and no people. We had a creek and lots of birds. We also had a horseshoe game. I discovered I not so bad! So we stayed 2 nights then went to the wildlife park. That is actually closer to Camp Verde. It was so fun. We went on a safari then walked around the reserve and saw lots of animals. I saw my first hyena. They are really large! They also had 2 baby grizzly bears! Then we watched a tiger water show. It was really fun! We then went to Payson and visited my grandma. On the way down the mountain there was an accident on the freeway so they closed it down and sent all the traffic onto a 1 lane highway. Yeah we left grandmas at 5 and drove top Tammy and Dave's (1-2 hrs away) It took us 4 HOURS!!!! fun huh. Then we went home. Good times. We have lots of fun pictures we took from the road.
So anyway, we also had a busy week. I became really motivated and got a lot done in my house. We also adopted a little orange kitten we named Duma. He is so stinkin cute! Corey blessed his baby Sunday so we had lots pf friends and family around. It was great!
Last but not least. I finished cleaning my house really goods Tuesday when I got a phone call from the one and only Tammy Clobes!! Yes she and Don were crossing the country and were in Albuquerque and asked to come by. I was thrilled and was like a kid waiting for Christmas for the rest of the day! We had dinner with them and got to play catch up. Then they were off again to finish there trip and get to there home.
Things are but but good. I don't have enough RAM on my computer so my pictures are being saved somewhere else. That is why I don't have any pictures. But I will warn you all when I get that working.
The End

headaches
Hey does anyone else get migraines? I think I get menstrual ones. I weird discussion. Mine start somewhere around my eyes and end at my lower back. They also make me sick in the stomach. I take midol complete, drink caffeine sodas, ice packs, try to get DJ to massage, hot showers etc... any other ideas? They wipe me out for days and the caffeine keeps me up all night. Maybe I should just make an appointment with my doctor.
anyway I am sleepy but I think I am finally through them this month and they were only a 1-3. Usually they seem to come on Saturday night or Sunday morning and they are a 8-9. The I have to find a sub for church or I take drugs enough to function and where hangover glasses to church. I know awesome!

answered prayers
DJ and I have been working for a goal since we were married. For DJ to get his Real Estate Appraisers license and have him work for himself. Well, here we are. Now we have been preying for him to get work. Praying and praying. Well suddenly this last week it came! Now we are praying that he can do it. He's all stressed out and has been working pretty much from sun up to sun down. LOL could we find a happy medium?
I am great full for the work and that he is finally busy. My hope that this will give him a jump start into remembering how it feels to be busy and how to do this work, then he will be able to organize himself better and be ready for this kind of work.
Funny how things work. I am thankful for answered prayers!

whew.
well we a busy weekend! It is spring break for Tammy and Dave's kids. So my parents picked up Justin, Alex, Shelby and Madi on Friday and they went home Monday. Friday night I had a dinner at my house with the Richens, Smiths, Padmini and my sister. We had an awesome enchilada night and I think everyone had a good time.
Saturday was primary activity day. I attended without Lucas. But I was able to leave early since my part was minimal and My family was at catalina state park playing in the creek! DJ was in Tempe for a seminar. The kids had so much fun playing in the creek even though it was a little cool outside. But not enough to keep the kids dry.
Sunday was church as usual. Oh and it was very cold. It hailed while we were in church. It melted a little so it looked like snow on all our cars.
Monday was a day at the Zoo and it was so cold! It also rained midway. Lucas cried the 1st half and Eden the second. I am never leaving my house again.
Then the cousins went home, Tuesdays DJ went back to Tempe for a seminar. I hung out with the kids till he got home. The I dropped them off and went to walmart and got Enchanted...and some pringles they are $1.00!
Tuesday night we had family movie night. It was fun. I think Enchanted is a great little movie!
Today Jen Cameron ok Kartchner is going o come over with Katie and we are going o have a nice soup and sandwich lunch. I am excited to have to girls here!@
well that's what's going on. Once I can figure out how to get my pictures off photo shop elements I will post another slide show. But for now I am going to eat breakfast and try to get to the gym and playgroup. The grocery store and make a soup. .. I am going to bed instead maybe I can lose all this weight by sleeping it off.
