After reading Kate's blog about the cruise I can tell you that while she got to have that kind of fun I got to bond with some wonderful little boys. While it was a whole "going back in time"week and I am so glad I had my kids while I was young, I am grateful that I got the opportunity to spend that time with the boys. They were such good boys the whole week. We had a few moments of unhappiness but for the most part it was just a positive time for me. I so remember looking forward to naptime and nighttime when all the kids would be in bed so there was some "me" time. Kate and Mike have such a good tv/movie set-up that I spend nearly every evening catching up on the tv shows I have missed or don't get at home and watched some movies. It was fun to have Landon there for the four days and get to know him as well. The time I had the three of them when Autumn was gone and before James got there was a deja vu moment because they are just the same distant apart as my first three kids and I looked at having a two year old, one year old and four month old and I must have been crazy. Of course I was much younger then. I especially loved disposable diapers and wonder how I managed without. Count your blessings.

I also got to spend some time with Joyce Call and even though we didn't do anything fantastic we always have a good time visiting. We did go to Claimjumpers for lunch which was wonderful. Thanks to Jessica for watching the boys so I could have the time out.

Since getting home I have just tried to catch up on laundry(while Jared does his own laundry Dad obviously has too many clothes because he hadn't washed while I was gone and still had things in his closet to wear), work, talk to my kids, go to the chiropractor and do the "time and talents" thing.(Relief society). Our German exchange student go here Wed. night but I haven't seen much of him. They were gone when I got home from work and he is still asleep now. Thank heavens he didn't bring chocolate. He brought a lot of gummie things which I am okay without. I have now lost 17 pounds and want to keep going which with German chocolate in the house is very hard to do.

Some very exciting news!!!! With our tax refund we were able to pay off one more of the medical bills. Woot Woot!!! I love seeing the debt get paid off. I know that those things keep coming up but it sure felt good to pay off that one.
