We've had better days...

I'm actually writing and keeping up with this! I can't believe it myself. The last couple of days have been crazy! We celebrated Haley's 7th b-day. I can't believe my baby is 7! She has been so good for us since her medication. She and I always tell eachother "I love you more"...and she never used to be like this. She's been an angel. Aleah seems to be having a hard time with school. And to be honest with you, I DON"T BLAME HER! She is in in intermediate school and for some stupid reason they don't have lockers for any of these kids! She has 6 classes and almost every one of them require her to carry around all these books in her bag along with folders and other materials for school. I feel so bad for her. She weighs 85 lbs and she's carrying a bag that weighs like 30 lbs. This school is definitely more strict than her last one. But for love of my mother....give them lockers!! Needless to say she's having a harder time than I thought. Both my kids have been sick this week with Strep Throat, Ear infection, Nasal infection, and recently me on my birthday...The stomach flu. I spent almost my entire birthday in bed...I did not get up until 5:30 pm. I haven't been that sick in I can't even remember! So we've been sick at our house and have definitely had better days. But we are all healthy and better now, and its back to school and work tomorrow.

My sister Lily is running the Saint George Marathon on Oct.1st and so she and her little family are coming down. My sister Yvonne is coming too. YAY! I can't wait to spend some time with everyone! Especially my sisters, and to cheer on Lily! She's going to kick some trash! She always does. After that, Challis and our little family is going to L.A. for a few days to sight see and do some of the things we didn't get to see last year on our Disneyland trip. No Disneyland or Seaworld this time...just a relaxing getaway with almost no plans. We are excited and can't wait. I will update with the marathon and our trip to Cali next post....and maybe even with pictures.
