Not Much Going On Here...

So I have a question, what do you post when you feel you're going to pull your hair out in frustration? A picture of my sleep deprived face (it's scary!) or a picture of my sick messy room because I don't have the oomph to clean it?

What, might you ask, am I frustrated about? Well, it's a little story like this. We are in the process of closing on a home. Plain and simple. Buying a house is so exhausting. Are we making the right move? Will the school Ethan goes to be good? What will the church be like up there? It's a lot. For me anyway. :) We are very blessed to be able to buy a house right now, I'm not saying that I'm ungrateful, but sometimes, I just want to crawl up into a ball and find eternal slumber. Well, at least until the house stuff is over.

So, is it just me or does the elementary school that Ethan is going to a bit scary? It looks a little like a high school to me. Here it is. Tell me what you think!

Lost and Found

I was going to take a picture of everything that I had lost, but one of them was the camera. So...yeah. I found everything that I lost. Here's the pics from my trip. Sorry they're late!

The List

Here's the scoop, I'm losing everything on this vacation. This is not good. Here's a rundown of these MISPLACED items.

1. Camera in fishing boat. That was a revelation to me today. Good revelation because at least I can retrieve it.

2. Gulp. My rings. Including wedding rings. Lost them when I was vacuum-packing fish the second day. Have yet to find...

3. My cell phone. I lost it on the drive down from Anchorage the first day! Luckily, after scouring the car I found it in the center console. My brother, Matt, was in the back seat helping me look and said, "Oh yeah I put that in there. I needed a spot for my water bottle."

These are all really important items that I normally don't lose. I'm nervous to see what else I'm going to misplace. I'm freaked. But having a great time here. I was able to stay out until 2 in the morning because I could. I love it. Miss ya'll back home!

I Love My Neices and Nephews!!!

Ethan and Evie I miss you and so do your Massey cousins. I will post pics of Dip-netting tomorrow!

Off to the the Frozen North

I'm so excited I can hardly stand it. I'm not excited for the 5 hour flight, but it could be worse, I could have a layover in Seattle and then up to AK. Anywho, too-da-loo until I get up there and start taking some pics. Then you'll really be jealous!

Sad/Happy Times!

We are now the proud mortgage toting adults that our parents were hoping we would become! We found a cute little house in Ogden and we are stoked about. Not many pictures of the house, but it's cute and ya'll have to come visit after we get settled in. We are looking to move in around the last week in July/First week in August. The sad news is is that we are going to have to move out our ward that we love and the school that Ethan loves. :(

What the Freak?!

Yeah that's right. I just used a Utah original term, because here in Utah people are very conscience of saying expletives around the millions of kids in this state and because it sounds better on a post than saying, "What the F@#$!"

So, we are walking through Target yesterday and Ethan casually asks me, "Mom, what's sexy?"

"Uhhhh, I'm not sure how to explain that to you at this point in your life. Where did you here that?"

"On a commercial, 'Get that sexy V-shaped figure you've always wanted.' "

"Oh, well it's kind of like you're saying someone or something looks nice but it a different kind of Oooh La La way." And then I did a kiss-y face at him.

He grimaced and turned away.

What the freak is the FCC thinking putting on this stupid age-in appropriate material during my kids' cartoons?

That's not the only "What the Freak?!" story I have. Look at this face. Does this look like the face of someone who would intentionally take a dump on the sidewalk in front of my door? I didn't think so, but apparently I was wrong. She did.

This is how the story unfolded. We had just gotten back from swimming at a friends house and I was starting dinner. I told the kids to go outside.

"Take off your suits and brush off the grass!"

I hear nothing and then Ethan hysterically laughing. The naughty laugh.

"What the freak?!" I think to myself.

I walk out there and there's cute little Evie smiling up at me next to a little Evie S*#$.

I freaked. I started slapping her butt and dragged her into the bathroom to finish in there. Don't judge please. That's a normal reaction right????

Just a Little Problem...

So, I've got a problem.

The last two nights after about 10 pm I get these massive headaches and they get so bad that I can't sleep until almost 1am. What do you think it is?

I've tried getting up and stretching and drinking A LOT of water, which just makes me, well you know. And I took Tylenol the first night at midnight, after screaming into my pillow. That was a little frightening for Bucky, although he was so out of it that he was soon sawing logs again...

Do you think it's a sign from above to get some more sleep? To stop being so stressed out?

HELP!

Family Night

Mueller Park Canyon was calling our name after the temperature reached 90 on Monday! I'm always amazed at how much cooler it is in the canyon when it's sickeningly hot in our teeny apartment. We almost would have been good to bring up jeans. :) We made s'mores, Bucky and Alyssa played instruments and the kids and I played with the fire (one of my guilty pleasures in life...)
