This is a compile of a few days so the dates are from the 23rd to the 27th of September. My cute hubbies birthday is Tuesday September 30th Happy Birthday. We love you.
Yes ladies and gentlemen its going to be along one again. Sit back and enjoy:) Monday afternoon I had Stephanie’s daughter Rylee over while she was on her way back from Idaho. They all wanted to go swimming and I told them it was too cold, so they decided to go swimming in the bath tub. Then we made Stephanie a birthday cake to take home when she came to pick up Rylee. I know Steph's husband loves her and all, but I knew, being a guy (no offense) he wouldn't even think about a cake. Then Tuesday Craig threw up in the car after I picked up the girls from preschool. I had some places to run and I gave him a bag of fruit snacks to keep him happy. I think he had about 10 too many because they all came up... yuck. I was going to stop at Steph's house and let the kids play, but we scratched that idea and came home. So we got him cleaned up and the car seat washed. We have nice neighbors, but they can really be hard sometimes to deal with. I'm not sure how to explain it, but their little boy who is 2 comes over and rings our door bell all the time, at least 5 times in a row. She will be sitting in her front yard and I will open the door and she just thinks its funny and cute. Well Wednesday night I was in the backyard playing with the kids and I could here the door bell going and I knew it was him, so I ignored it. Then next thing I know he is coming out our back door. So I was going to take him back home cause I thought his mom must not know he was at our house and sure enough she was out watering her lawn. She acted like it was cute and no big deal. Then he started crying and I felt bad so I asked if he could come play. I new she would say yes. About 20 minutes later she brings a ladder over to the fence and wants to chit chat. Sorry but with 4 kids and one extra I didn't have time to. I really needed to get the kids in and get then ready for bed with Mike gone it takes a little longer to get them all ready. She just didn't get the hint. Then finally we made it in, but then she came to the front door to borrow some sandwich baggies. I didn't mind, but then he wanted to play and she couldn't get him to leave. I had to help her get him out the door. Then she asked me what time would be a good time for him to come over tomorrow and play. Ugh I wanted to say never, but I didn't. Her older kids (8 and 10 years old) always wants to play with the kids (well their toys) and they don't always use the best language. I try not to let them come over very often. I don't want to sound like I am not trying to be Christ-like, but it can be very hard. Her little boy was at our house playing in the front yard, I told my kids it was time for lunch and we came in. Well he followed us in and helped himself up to the counter. I felt bad with his dad being out of work, so I made him a lunch too . She came over and said is he in here and I said, "yes, he is having some lunch." Then he starts saying holy sh-- I know she was trying to get him to stop with out me noticing, so I acted like I didn't notice, by the 4th time he said it she finally said out loud stop that that's not nice. I feel bad for them, but I don't know what to do. I feel kinda mean because they can drive me crazy. Sorry if you think I am rude. I try to be nice. I did take a some of Grant’s old clothes over for the little boy. I know he needed some. There is some goodness in me. Ha ha. Natalie is coming over tonight to give rexy another arm . She said he looks funny. I didn't even notice he only had one arm. Shellie, her roommate, is going to do my hair and Steph's as well. I told Steph last year for her birthday I would get her hair colored . She has wanted to have it done for so long. So I guess better late than never.............Well Steph got her hair done on Thursday night. My night was a little crazy so, they didn't get the chance to. Craig was a mama’s boy and wanted me to hold him all night. I had a hard time getting dinner done because of that. The other three made it a little difficult with the tantrums they created. So, it just didn't happen. But they said they could do it on Sunday. Friday was kinda like the night before. Craig was needing some extra attention. I was trying to get the rest of Grant’s furniture out of his room so I could attempt to lay the carpet. CRAZY on my part to think I could do this while Mike was gone with four kids home (Grant didn't have school Friday). But I did, its done and I am a little more nuttier than I was before. I was up until 12:30 cleaning and getting everything back to normal. Today was not too bad. We had a birthday party for my cousins kids, Cooper (4) and Morgan (1). The kids had fun. Before I left to go to the party I got a call from Mike saying he was not going to be coming home until Monday. This almost put me in the nut house. I guess there was a problem with getting into parts of the prison, a guy that had the keys that never showed to let them in etc etc. So my prince won’t be home now until Monday evening:(. Well if you made it through with out snoozing thanks. The bates and the ghost if you click on them you can read their messages bubbles, for fun. Till next time this is Janie signing off.

Hello its just me again. Today is September 22nd.
Just wanted to give you an update of our fun weekend as you can tell by the pictures. We went up to grandma's to help with bottling peaches. She was smart and did the freezer peaches the night before so they would be frozen , so I could take them home. I helped her bottle peaches for Sunny. We had a good time. Sunny and Antalya came up just before we had to leave to get Grant off the bus. She ran in a marathon on Saturday in Logan and did great. You can check out her blog, she did a good job recreating it all for us. Natalie came over Friday night and started painting Grant's room. She is amazing and so talented. She is very modest and says it no big deal, but she made a little boy very very happy. We are so grateful for her time and the love she put into it. It was funny on Saturday when Natalie was over painting, Brookie was playing in Grant's room. I asked her to take her stuffed animals to her room and put them to bed (she was kinda in the way) she told "me mom they are not tired and I know what is best for them". We started laughing, I don't think I have every said that to her. Natalie was fixing Rexy's arm and Grant came in and said what happen to his arm and Natalie said I'm going to put it back and he said darn it Natalie and shook his head. I was not there but Nat said it was funny. Brookie and Grant kept telling Natalie how perfect his room was. We had a good time with her here. On Sunday we went to church and finally got are recommends renewed they have been out for a little while. It amazing how good it feels just to have your recommends renewed. Natalie came over and finished it up on Rexy. Grant calls him his pet and will pet the wall, it's cute. Mike left today for Vegas. We will be excited to have him back home on Saturday. Today is Steph's Birthday and she is in Idaho with her mom, so she asked me to pick up her daughter from school today. Other than that not to much is going on. Like I said this is all probably not that interesting to you but its kinda my journal so just indulge me please ha ha. Love Janie

Rexy in the making.
