Wonderful Weekend!










Morgann had gymnastics state competition this weekend in Fillmore, Utah! All her hard work paid off. She got first and state champion in the trampoline and third on the floor (tumbling)! I was so proud of her! Good Job Morgann!!!



We also invited my mom and Audrey, with her family of course, to come to watch. We decided to make it a weekend and reserved two nights at the KOA campground in Fillmore, Utah! Let me tell you, it was such a wonderful weekend spent with family and kind people. The hosts were very kind and accomidating, they had fun games for the kids to play along with making crafts! We stayed in Kabins. Mine was a two room (had a large bed in one room and the other room had two sets of bunk beds. Audrey's Kabin had one room with a large bed and a set of bunk beds. It was a wonderful trip and I loved the bonding time I had with Audrey and my mom! Thanks guys for a memorable time!

New cleaning attempt...







I am reading this new book (I am obsessed with books) that is called The Children You Want With The Kids You Have. It is an LDS book oriented on obviously raising kids to be hard working, responsible people. Well I am only on the second chapter and already have implemented the ideas into my home. It stated to get the children more excited, to get them thier own "cleaning tote" with their individual cleaning supplies. So I headed to the dollar store (love that place) and purchased each child thier own:










  • Basket with handles (tote)





  • Rubber Gloves





  • Dusting wand





  • Reusable/Washable rags





  • Scrubbing Sponge





Let me tell you, they were SOOO excited to get thier own supplies, they were ready to go before I could finish telling them about it. Here is a picture of Tianna and Tera's. Morgann and Carson have their own. All color coordinated.. hahaha. Morg = blue, Carson = green, Tianna = pink, Tera = purple. Ill keep you posted on how this works, and with other ideas from the book.
