COLD ?!?!?!?!?!?
we hit a record high here in santee 93 degrees on Sunday. although it registered 105 in the car at the church parking lot and beautiful it was blue sky's and a bit of hot breeze. i love santee. you too can witness this first hand by driving to santee and staying at our home.. we have a guest room and lots of floor space. Neil just cleaned the pool and all is well the oranges and limes and lemons are ripe and ready we may even have a grapefruit or two... gotta love the life we live...
JAZZ BYU IDAHO STYLE
We had the great opportunity of hosting 2 men from the BYU IDAHO jazz performers stay with us on Friday night and have breakfast with us sat morning. it was a wonderful time. they played video games with the boys. we also found out that kevin was on his mission in washington and knew elroy neils oldest brother.
the performance was sooooooo wonderful and upbeat.....we also received a recording of there jazz performance it is sooooo nice and we love it . i Peggy had learned to appreciate jazz and this just really reinforced it!!!

YAHOO SPRING BREAK IS OVER!!
I know most people like spring break but as for me and my kids we missed school and friends. although we loved having great times together the days were long and we spent way to much $$ on fun and food. the kids missed there frfiends and playground time. i missed quiet time. jenni was a dream come true for me she kept me on track for getting the house clean!!!i sure love her... and her youthful energy and positive attitude.. i she did most the cleaning and earned a bit of $$ for her bank account. the boys did some cleaning for cash too.. the 1st few days they all cleaned for free but that wore off pretty quick.

A day in the life!!!!
The alarm clock goes off in Jenni's room at 5am gets up and ready for seminary
Neil and Peggy's alarm goes off at 5:30am we toss and turn trying to bribe the other one to take his or her turn of driving Jenni to seminary. we take days. then we pick Jenni up at 6:45am and bring her home. on a good day the boys are up and getting ready for school and we eat breakfast. then we get in to the car again and drive the boys to school at 7:25 then come back home or if its Neil off to work he goes. then Peggy drives Jenni to school at 8ish she is still on the honor roll as a freshman go Jenni!!! then she goes to class and then at 3:15 she is either at the pool for water polo practice or swim practice (well at least until her infamous snowboarding accident) now she just stays for the swim meets and times for her team mates. Peggy picks up the boys from school when they call and beg for a ride home every day unless i can play mean mom and make them walk the 1/2 mile home.then we do homework read for 20 min and get ready for let me see its baseball now(we used to do basketball and baseball for 2 month overlap) Ricky and Andy were on the same basketball team fun to watch. they had 2 practices a week + games 2 times a week
now we have baseball with different teams and so we have 3-4 practices a week each and 1-2 games a week each some overlap some don't. so as for now i have a permanent place on the bleachers for both boys and Neil keeps score for whom ever team gets to him first thththhtht. games go from 4:oo-5:00 practice and then the game starts and goes 7 innings or 2 1/2 hrs or dark which ever comes 1st and if its dark we finish the game another night exsampe Andy had a 22 min game and his practice for an hr before. and the topper for mom is he wears white baseball pants!!!!mothers night mare
wash bleach repeat and repeat and repeat with a red shirt so u have to wash separately
look out all you new moms of kids upcoming sports ththth Jenni on the other hand is great when it comes to water polo she needs a towel a 75 dollar swim suit a 108 dollar parka to stay warm in January and 4 hrs a night in the pool5 days a week
but no washing for mom yahooooooooooo
oh ya i forgot you cant play sports on an empty stomach so we some how toss in a peanut butter sandwich and then they want to eat a big meal at 8:00pm Peggy's filling it weight wise (that is why no pictures of Peggy thththth)
then off to bed after a shower and family prayer. its 9:30pm and every one should be in bed but guess what someone forgot oh ya i have homework i need help with....
so its off to bed for dad and mom and its late and just as you feel peace you hear Jenni alarm its 5am time for seminary its your turn no its your is heard Thu the door of Neil and Peggy's bedroom
life is grand just think Jenni will be done with seminary in just over 3 yrs yahoooo but wait what is that your thinking? Do the math Ricky is 10 they start seminary as a freshman age 13-14 yep then Andy is 8 almost 9 i will be going to seminary until i am ????years old nooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo
i would love to see a day in the life of YOU!!!!!!!!!!!!!

its all good here
hey everyone
i am posting a blog
hope hope i can really get this going
we are all doing well
ricky and andy are both on the same basketball team
and they are both playing baseball but on different teams
not sure how i will handle getting them to and from 4 different places but hey ill try thats what moms do
jenni is doing well her watrpolo team won the leage and she was able to watch from the sidelines since her snowboarding acccident she has to just watch
but the dr said its only a #2-#3 sprain which means its just a small bit torn and blood under the kneecap and will heal itsself so all is good she will have to wear a brace for a while and be on crutches when she isnt in our house. as long as she keeps it inmoble from side to side its all good
well life is xuzy and i mus get back too it
hope to keep this up better in the future
