End of July Update

I updated my status on facebook  yesterday afternoon to say I was "updating my blog" and instead I did the dishes. Well, at least I'm trying to keep the home looking okay. The living room at the moment has so many toys but I can clean that in no time flat(hopefully)!

 The kids wanted me to tell you all the fun things we've been doing as of late. My last entry was last week about our up and coming anniversary. It was fun on the 22nd. WE stayed home. I don't think that's bad. My husband went to work providing for the family and we were able to enjoy his company early(which is usually 6 or 7 these days). Dad made dinner for everyone and I gave the kids a bath? Boring you might say right? But at lease we were all together as a family.

As the fun date was nearing, Jordan kept asking what I wanted to do. Then I would ask him back. I think we played that game for about two weeks. Mom, earlier in the month, graciously said that she would watch the kids for us, what ever we were planning to do. On the winding down hours of the actually anniversary we sat down and started thinking, what would be fun that we haven't done for a while? A Bed and Breakfast???!!! Why had we not thought of that before. Grandma said she was willing to take a vacation day while Mom and Dad spend the night away from home.(More on that later)


At the beginning of September we'll be going to some location in Idaho for the Hunter Family Reunion. When I first learned of this, I was a hair worried. Long road trip, two toddlers, how will I keep them entertained...blah blah blah. I allow my self on 15 minutes a day to ponder on different possibilities of ideas to keep the little ones entertained(I take all suggestions, I really do!). After the 15 minutes it's usually onto the next task of the day so life gets back to normal pretty quickly. Our trip to the shore last year was only a few hours since we spent the night in a hotel. I'm excited for the kids to see a new part of the country they haven't seen before! I love road trips and this will be fun for us I'm sure.

Jordan has a few days off during the week and then he works like crazy. On the days off, for the past few weeks we've been getting ready for the trip. Buying things here and there, getting a oil change and so on. The monsters Angels are doing well with potty training and talking up a storm. At church they have a blast in nursery which really makes me happy. I'm so impressed with how well they adapt to change with our move and learning to make friends. I try to sneak by on Sunday just to see how they are doing and someone they nursery leaders shush me away. I did sneak a peak at the Princess on Sunday and I started crying so I went to Relief Society. It just makes me a proud parent to see them growing up and helping when they can. Other than that, weddings, birthdays, and just relaxing as a family has been it for us! Talk to you soon.
