Long time no blog

I'm usually such a bloggy blabbermouth, but lately I haven't felt too blogworthy. And I've been just too plain busy. I have really been taking on a lot lately and feeling a bit overwhelmed most of the time. See?? Here I am, right now. Tired, overwhelmed, and chubby. With the dog bugging me. Blah.



Theres too much to even write about!! Gee, a few months ago did I think I was actually busy?? Pish posh! My popcorn business is turning into a career, the dog is becoming time-consuming (not sure we are still going to hang with the dog thing), my hair business is picking up, Mark is the new YM pres,(on a campout tonight) I need to spend an hour figuring out coupnsense for this week, Cade desparately needs to be taking real violin lessons and its football season (Marks asst.coaching)He got in a fight at school and broke his hand by punching a kid in the face (who had it coming) and I think Sadie has a fracture in her foot, gotta get her in for an x-ray....oh wait, did I mention I have 5 kids and a somewhat needy husband, and I am freaking out over the weight I have gained this year and must get it off before summer.............and of course its birthday season in our family! This is just what is floating through my brain at the moment. Yikes.




What has taken up all my spare brain power and time lately was the Ostrich festival. What an ordeal!! The last 2 weeks basically we spent getting ready for the thing and then the event was this weekend. I haven't worked that hard physically and mentally in a loooong time. I'm definetly still recovering. We did ok but not as well as we would have liked. We learned SO much though. And the kids worked so hard, I am so proud of them. Cade and Sadie kicked butt. I am not interested in doing any events again any time soon, but we are doing some fundraising and we can barely keep up so that is good. I have tons of fun ideas in the works. I am planning a popcorn tasting at my house really soon so everyone can come over and get an idea what we are doing. Plus an excuse to see our friends is always awesome. More details coming very soon!!


Birthday season is here for the Lambs!

Today was Mr. Daytons day. He got a new bike with a bell and 2 action figures. Plus stuff from grandmas. My little baby boy is 6!! WOW!





....Wyatt turned 7 on the 12th, and also got a new bike and 2 action figures and stuff from grandmas. Equality and fairness is paramount around here.


Cooper is patiently (not really) waiting his turn on April 2 to turn 9.

This is what they spent Grandma Judy's Target cards on tonight. Oh boy.




I had to throw this in of Dayton at his field trip to the Mesa Museum. So stinkin cute! We had a fun time.



So thats some of what has been going on. I really just still need a clone. Or a full time housekeeper and chef. Just like everyone else does. We are on spring break this week so I will be sleeping in just a little every day hopefully. Of course, I am thrilled to have my beautiful healthy kids, a supportive if not always helpful husband, my testimony, and too many other blessings to name.

An Update! I was wondering when you would be back.
I feel so bad..we meant to send Dayton and Wyatt this cute monkey email but totally forgot. We'll send it today.
Mark will be great in YM. And perfect timing with Cade in there.
I guess I didn't read your last posts...you got a dog?? Crazy. You are a better person that I am.
Miss you guys and can't wait to see you soon!

You are a busy girl! Thanks for the post. I love peakin' in on you guys!
Happy Birthday Wyatt and Cooper! I love birthdays, and I'm sure your house is never short of them!
I can't wait to try your popcorn, hmm!!

Oh yeah, and I didn't see the Dog update either. When did you get a dog? What kind is she/he? Welcome to the world of dogs ;). I used to say I'd get a dog only when we had kids old enough to take care of them. Of course, we didn't (Buster), but sounds like you guys did! I hope the kids are helping out ;)

Awwww, tell them I said Happy Birthday!!! And I LOVE what they bought with their money, they will enjoy that for a few years, I am sure! Hope you are able to get a breather in somewhere.

I didn't realize your two boys were so crazily close in age! If you ever need a break, Aidan would love to have them over I'm sure.
