Blogging Probation!!
Last Monday night, Cam came home with me on the computer and the house a mess, no dinner cooked and no FHE planned. He is very patient and helpful all of the time but when we were arguing about something else he pinned the computer thing on me and said you spend too much time on that. Of couse I didn't agree and it was easy for me to justify me being lazy because I am pregnant-right oh and the kids did have a very rough day that day. So I wasn't in the mood to do his FHE or eat so I went in the room and spent the night there (he sent the kids in with dinner for me)-oh and I forgot the computer so was left with Sister Marjorie Hinkley's life story and the ensign that were on my night stand. I had already read most of the ensign but after reading most of the book that really made me feel quite guilty because we all know how amazing she was, I picked up the ensign and thought to myself, "maybe there is a talk that will make me feel better." Like I said I had read most of the talks already but the one that I missed was on how to keep PRIDE from getting in the way of your marriage. OK OK!! I slept it off and Cam and I worked things out the next morning. I was still a little prideful in the morning and it took me longer than it should have to talk to Cam about how I felt bad about not doing what I should be doing more of. It is hard to not let pregnancy be an excuse, but I can't because I feel great. I haven't blogged since because I have made an effort to do a little laundary, make sure the dishes are done, take care of kids first, clean up a little (I'm not even talking deep cleaning) before I do so. Needless to say there hasn't been any time left. the quote on Leanne's blog about the importance of women keeping a journal made me feel better about blogging again because my journal has been lost and I have done more record keeping with blogging than anything else so I am back but I just need to spend less time surfing others-mainly those I don't even know. Anyway, Seinfeld was great! Cam and I saw O on thursday night. I fell asleep during it. It was amazing but too much of the same stuff. On Friday morning we ordered room service and then went to the Vegas temple. It was tempting to just go shopping, but every year I ask cam what he would want to do for his birthday and he always says go to the temple so we did. As we were walking in a man stopped us in his car and asked cam if he would be willing to do a family name for him. I told Cam, "that man in heaven is sure glad we made the decision to come." We were also the only couple that was there (it was a very small sessio) so we were the witness couple. we have been the last 3 times we have gone. It also has been a long time since we have done sealings and they asked for volunteers so we were also able to do some sealings after the session. It was a nice morning. We still had plenty of time to shop before seinfeld. I was pleasantly surprised at how much I enjoyed seinfeld. We were 12 rows back. He was really great. It was one of those shows that you didn't want to end. I would go again. Cam was laughing so hard. We had a great time. We ended his birthday by going to macaroni grill. It was yummy :) Maryann and Clayton stayed at our house and watched the kids all weekend-thanks Maryann! Eric and Amie (Cam's sister and her husband) and their 4 kids. are staying with us until their home in Orem sales. Eric has started as our marketing director and is doing an amazing job! Our kids are spoiled to have them here. Jake is going to school with Bryson so they get to ride the bus together, eat lunch together and play at recess. They didn't get to have the same teacher but they are having a great time. Natalie and Brielle go to preschool together on t &th and dance on wed. Spencer is very nice to Trey. Trey usually bothers him. They play quite well together. And Amie is taking care of their sweet new baby Olivia. She really is a good baby. This really is a lot of change for them but we sure love having them down here with us. There is a lot going on with 7 kids so it's never boring :) We had a great weekend. Lauralee, Caden, Matthew, and Sadie stayed in St George with us while Travis went to Park City for some meetings. Me, Leanne, Maryann, and Laur ran the stop sign on thurs. morning. Friday we took the kids to Sandhollow to swim. They loved it!! We had 15 total kids under 7. I lost my camera charger so I didn't take any pics. Friday night we all got babysitters and went to dinner and saw 27 dresses (it was cute). We ran the stop sign again on Saturday and then went shopping without the kids. Leanne cut lots of hair on sat. and we took the kids to McDonalds for an ice cream and to play on the slide. McDonalds was the perfect place for 15 kids. Oh Laur did bring her ultrasound machine and we think we are both having boys. if that's true Leanne, Me and Laur will both have 3 boys and 1 girl. It was great to see the baby so active and a good heart beat. Sorry about the boring post but I just wanted to catch up.

How cool that you were able to have those experiences at the temple that day. The Lord never fails to bless us...

That's how i feel like my wks are sometimes and i just have jayni.Thanks for sharing the part about the arguement with cam i think it's cool when people share that side of their life:) Did you get moms cookies? I ate three and left just one for clayton rude huh? I'm really glad you planned to do the valentine dinner. I don't like just going out to dinner,i'm excited. do I need to do anything?
Aw laurs blog looks really cute. You're pretty creative,good job!
I loved it, So glad you are back! It's hard to picture you and Cam fighting! Do I have to get a sitter for the v-day dinner?
Matt says the same thing to me about blogging. Tell Cam that at lest your not out spending money, blogging is free. That works with Matt, but I am quite the shopper. I'm glad you guys had a good time in vegas!
Nothing Boring about this post at all! I really really enjoy reading your post each time because it helps me to feel like I am still part of the family and know what is going on with my siblings and their families. Seems like things are crazy there and yet you seem to have it all under control and give the kids the attention, love and fun they need. They are truly going to remember all the fun times they have had growing up. You guys are great parents! I look up to you both more than you know!
love you guys always.
