My Mom

I just absolutely love my Mom!! What a wonderful person she is and I am truly blessed to have her as my Mother. Shelly and I have been going up to help her almost every Monday to help her out, but I think that she helps me out more than I help her. I love being around her, I love watching her play with my kids, I love learning how to can(can anyone believe I just said that?) But I do, it makes me so happy to go up there and hang out with her and Shelly. She is the most amazing person I know, the strongest person I know. Such an inspiration. Here she is going through chemo(again) and she made a bunch of quilts for a humanitarian project. Canning all of her vegetables for the year to come for her family. Making supper for another family in need. Cooking for my Dad's FHE group (25-50) people once a month. Taking care of her Mother who lives up the street. I could go on and on. AMAZING. I love her so much and I'm so thankful for her.

"Stop eating all those tomatoes or you'll get sick"

Have you ever heard anyone say that before? I have quite a bit this summer. Logan absolutely loves cherry tomatoes! Last night we had dinner at my mom's, and Logan ate around 20-25 cherry tomatoes. My Dad actually told him to stop eating them. Haha. He goes out to the garden and eats them there. I ask did you wash them? "ya I wiped them off on my shirt" Guess they are clean then right? Then there was a small bowl on the table with tomatoes in it and he had those polished off in minutes. Then even after he was cleaned up he was over by the sink eating from a bucket that we had just picked(not washed yet). That is when my Dad said "Stop eating those or you'll get sick" I just laughed. I have never known parents/grandparents to say that.
And no this wasn't just a one-time occurrence, it has happened almost every Monday since the tomatoes have come on and we have been up to Providence. I'm surprised he hasn't been sick. What a silly kid!
Two Monday's ago we were up there, and Emma kept eating them out of a bucket on the porch(not clean) yes she love's them about as much as Logan, but I think she had gotten her fill so she started squishing them. It was pretty cute, wish I had gotten a picture.
Anyhow these kids keep me busy, but I love them more than anything!

Ready for Fall :)

So I don't mind doing a blog, it's just that I hate to write. I think I will just add picture'sand some caption's and call it good. Anyhow here is Logan on his first day of pre-school, the look he has is hilarious. Emma's too :) And I pampered myself a little bit, with a pedicure. Ryan went down to Richfield to go camping with his brother's and Dad this past weekend. Since I had to work Emma went with and spent some time with Grandma Campbell(Anna). So I had the entire house to myself. At first I was a little sad that they were gone, but I did enjoy my quiet time too. I worked all day Friday, but indulged a little with some take-out Olive Garden. YUMMY! And to eat my dinner in peace and quiet with-out getting up 10 times, was great. Saturday I worked but then hung out with my sis Kelli. We went and got some Indian food! So delicious and very, very HOT. Sunday I cleaned and waited for my family to come back. They had a great time, Logan even caught a fish. Overall nice weekend for everyone.
