Catching up!

London walks around all day saying what sounds every word starts with. "Mom, Cat starts with C," and on and on. She says her teacher is teaching her to read and that Mrs. Cragun is better at teaching than me. Why are parents always the enemy? London, Taylor (my neice), Cami (my sister), and me are going on a girl day out to see High School Musical tomorrow. She said no boys allowed but Carver (my nephew) wanted to come so London granted him entrance except no other boys- she says. I have had to start raining her in a little because she is getting really sassy and BOSSY. I have to keep telling myself "I am the parent!"

Austin's outdoor season of soccer ended and so now we start indoor which is his favorite! His 6th grade play is Monday and Tuesday so I will get pictures of the costumes and trees we made. Austin is playing the 3 of diamonds card- it is the Trial of Alice from Alice in Wonderland. He also got all his points for the quarter so he gets to go next weekend to the Weber State football game with the rest of the 6th grade and have a tailgate party.

Braden got his Wolf Badge for scouts! He also joined the school choir. Braden is also getting ready for basketball but it won't start until January. He says "he is quite a busy man this year."

I went and voted yesterday! I won't say for who but I hope all of you go out to vote- even if it is for the other guy! Work has slowed down and so now I am back at the gym every morning gaining weight- yes I gain weight every time I start to work out. Everyone wants to make me feel better and say it is muscle weight. BLAH BLAH! I want to be skinnier not bigger! Chad hasn't been able to wake up early enough to take the train and bike to work lately. I think we are both eating and sleeping in because we are so depressed about the state of our country/ world right now!
