Camping Season here we come!!

Well we went camping for memorial day. It was a lot of fun. The kids love to camp. Hiking, fishing and all the other fun stuff you can do. We will be doing a lot of camping this year. We just bought a new trailer and we are loving it. Once again I am slacking so I put several post on here tonight.

This is my dad.

Kreed was so tired that he fell asleep while sitting in a chair in the middle of the day.

Kreed, totally filthy. He had a bath that night. Gross!

Kaleb got his finger smashed between two rocks. It was pretty traumatic. We thought he may have broken it but so far it seems to be doing okay. We dosed him with some Motrin and after about 2hours he was up and about again.

The kids playing with bubbles.

First swim day of the summer!

The kids went swimming outside for the first time this year. They had a blast. Mom was to lazy and would not set up the pool yet, so they had to settle for the sprinklers. I think they had a ton of fun though. I just think they are adorable.

Ashton's Preschool Graduation!!

Ashton Graduated from preschool. She was a flower for the program. She sang so loud it was kind of embarrassing. Next time I will remind her to sing in a pretty voice not a loud voice. She did really good though. She is not shy at all, she is very out going and can not wait to start kindergarten next year.

70 Miles

Well I just finished riding 66miles today. I was supposed to do 70. It was really windy though. I was fighting the wind the whole way. I think I can count it as 70 due to the wind. So I thought on the way home it would push me. NO!!! It changed directions and started blowing harder on the way home. It was really hard but I did it.

I saw a turtle on the Legacy Trail he was so cute. When I came up on him he hurried and hid in his shell though. I hope nobody else ran him over. I also had the privilege of meeting two cute squirrels. They were chasing each other and they went in the bushes and then all of the sudden out of the bushes they came and ran right in front of me and I almost took the tail off of one of them. Poor guys. I think they were horny.

Well I am totally fried. Burnt to a crisp. I am so Happy, I did. YEAH!!!

Slacker

Well I just posted several posts so scan down. I have been slacking. We have been so busy lately. Their is never enough time in the day to do everything. Between school for the kids and Mitch and young women's, my bike ride and just all the little things, life is crazy. Life is good though and things are going pretty good. Mitch has a couple weeks off, which I never take for granted. I love having him home. I have been a slacker on my bike lately. I do my stuff during the week that I am supposed to, but I have missed my last two big rides. I might make up my last one and I will for sure do my one for this week. I just need a kick in the butt. Love you all.

Ashton's 5th Birthday!!

We celebrated Ashton's 5Th birthday on April 25Th. She is growing up so fast. She had a lot of fun and got what she wanted. We love her to death. She is all girl, she love cloths and has an attitude and knows everything, she thinks. She is a very spunky little girl. She loves to color and loves to learn. I am so glad she starts kindergarten this year, she is so ready to go to school.

This is Ashton using the Cupcake Maker that Grandma and Grandpa Seegmiller got her for her birthday. She really had a lot of fun. It was pretty messy. She loves it though. This is all she wanted for her birthday. Mitch said next time we will take it to grandmas for her to use and she can make grandma a cupcake and she thought that was a great idea.

Easter!!! Finally

I am slow. The kids at fun at grandmas doing a Easter egg hunt and then the Easter bunny came and left them some fun toys and candy. The two older boys could not find their baskets until mom and dad got up and helped them. Easter was fun. I am glad it is over though.

BLAH BLAH BLAH

So I have not done a post for awhile. I don't have any pictures just some blah blah blah. Well after riding my bike lately I think my bike ride may be a 60 or 80 mile ride not the full 104. I am still training for 104 but I don't think I started in time. If this year ends up less I figure I can try for 104 next year. I really love riding I just need more time to build up the muscle and stamina I need for a full 104.

Mitch only has tonight and next Tuesday and then he is done with labs for this semester and only has one more class to take with a lab. I am so excited. He is doing really good this semester and should have good grades.

I have officially reach the 5 month mark of no soda. My commitment is over. I am free to drink soda at my own free will. I still have not had any. I really do love soda and would love to drink one but I am going to try and hold out and hopefully make this a permanent thing.

The kids are almost done with school and then I can sleep in once again. I can not wait to stay in bed a little longer. I may go crazy having them home though.

Easter and birthdays are coming soon so I will have pictures before to long. I know you are so excited you can hardly wait. Don't roll your eyes at me!!

104 miles

I am officially registered for the 100 mile bike ride in June. It is for women only and it helps breast cancer, I think. I also went and bought my bike on Saturday. I purchased a road bike it is all carbon for those of you who care. It is awesome, if you want a road bike I would recommend this place called Fezzari, they have a web site you can look at. I got the fore Cr2. I really liked the 2009 model but I picked the 2008 model because it was 300 dollars cheaper. They are the same just different paint jobs. My bike weighs about 19 pounds it is so light. I bought the pedals that you clip your shoe into, you have to buy certain shoes, I think I might kill myself with these.

Well on Friday I am going on a 50 mile ride. I hope I can keep up with everybody. I really like road biking it is a lot of fun. I personally would rather road bike than run. I HATE running.

Well that is my update, not much else it going on. Mitch is just doing school and will be done with this semester soon, yeah. Only one more class with a lab and then it won't be so bad. Chemical Engineering is he crazy. His mom always asks him why he is going to school when he has a really good paying job already, and he says because I want to do something I like if I have to work doing it for the next 40 to 50 years. I can understand that I guess.

Young Womens Project Number 2

Let me just say stress!!!! I don't know who's idea it was, this happened before I got put in. The very first activity I went to they had the girls make a flag on paper. The leaders, that would be me, my first week, were to take these paper flags home and make them into cloth flags to be used through out the year, new beginnings, girls camp and so on. The ribbon on the side is for beads, they get to put a bead on for every one thing they pass of in their personal progress books. The flags were supposed represent their class. I have put it of until the last minute, not sure of were to start. I finally started on it Sunday night and finished it Monday night. We will be using them on Wednesday night for New Beginnings. I am also in charge of the food so it had to be done so that I can get the food ready. I am so happy it is finally finished. The first picture is of the flag my girls drew. I guess I will start working on my activity for next Wednesday know.

Young womens activity

This is what we will be doing for our young womens activity on Wednesday. I can not take credit for it though because I got it off of sugar doodle on some ladies blog, she put the pattern on her blog so you could make them if you wanted. I did paint and cut these ones out myself though. The girls will be painting their own, so that should be interesting. Our theme this year is (Be thou and example) it is in 1st Timothy some where. Glad I am finally done and ready for Wednesday, it took longer than I had thought it would.

ICE FISHING

Saturday morning Mitch took the oldest three kids ice fishing, with our brother in law and his kids. The kids had a lot of fun. They thought it was pretty cool. Kaleb caught a fish as well as my sisters little girl. Mitch said they did not catch anything else the entire time though.

I stayed home in bed thinking I was going to be able to sleep in. When I finally got up to let Kreed out of his room he had taken his poopy diaper off and gotten poop all over. He had poop on his face and in his nails, it was so gross. I just put him in the tub and hosed him of and luckily I have a carpet cleaner so I just cleaned the carpets and wiped down the walls and door and handles and pulled all the bedding of and washed it. So today I get up to start getting the kids up for school and find Kreed in the bathroom with his poopy diaper off once again and he has gotten poop all over the bathroom, he had gotten a rag out and was trying to clean it up, let me just say I had to take a deep breath and just start cleaning. I have been really sick as of last night so when I woke up this morning I was running a fever and just felt horrible and achy. Being a mom I did not have a choice, I just started cleaning up all the poop and when I finally finished I took some pills and started getting the kids ready for school. It is days like this I wish I could crawl into bed and just sleep and read all day.

Well Friday we went to Mitch's grandpas funeral so Mitch had the day off so after we went and bought rock band 2 for our wii and an extra guitar. We had played it at Mitch's sister house and loved it, so we finally decided to purchase it. My kids love it as well as Mitch and myself. My sister and her husband came over Saturday night and we pretty much played rock band until after midnight. I was going to take pictures of the kids playing rock band but I forgot.

Frustrating

I am so frustrated. I have had a cold for the last 4 days or so, and I have not been able to ride my bike. Hopefully I will be able to start on Monday again. I keep getting so dizzy, my ears fell totally plugged. I hate when you finally get your but in gear and something happens to stall your progress.

Well on another note on Saturday Mitch and I went with some friends of our from our ward. We went and played laser tag and then went back to one of their houses and played Dance Dance Revolution and had brownies and ice cream. It was really fun, it was nice to go out and just kind of hang out like a teen again, with friends. Mitch is hoping with this pay check he can by Dance Dance Revolution, he really liked it, I also thought it was fun.

Well wish me luck driving to draper tonight. We are going to the draper temple for our young women's activity this week and I get to drive out their. I made Mitch drive me out their a couple Saturdays ago so that I would know where I was going.

Okay signing out know good bye.

Guess what!

Okay so for those of you that have read my previous post. I just figured it out. I have to teach lessons 5 and 6 this week which means their is a lot of material to cover so I won't have time to have a guest speaker so I am going to just talk briefly on it and move on.
Mitch really thinks I am going nuts. He prepares his lessons on Sunday morning. And he does object lessons and everything. I told him he is just smarter than me and retains knowledge better, that is why he is going to school to be a chemical engineer.

PROCRASTINATE

No, this is not a word that typically fits me.

Yes, it is a word that fits me when I read my first young women's lesson telling me I need to ask somebody in my ward to speak to the young women and get it approved by a priesthood leader.

Yes, I was sitting their thinking of how I could get around this, maybe I could just do it because the girls really don't know me yet that would be a good way for them to get to know me.

Yes, this is the number one thing I hate in life, having to call people. I don't mind calling friends and family I just hate asking people to do stuff for me, and calling people I don't know.

Yes, the stress is building. I was stressed about just having to teach, know this. It is just that I am not a scriptoriane at all. I am one of those people that when you are sitting in class and the teacher says you know the story of Bill and how this happened and I am almost always sitting their thinking UUUUUUUHHHHHMMMMM NO!!!

Well this to shall pass and who knows what will end up happening, I am guessing I will just end up doing it, meaning I will not call anybody. I know, not what the book said but, it is not worth the nervous break down. Hope I don't go to Hell for this one.

On the other hand I do get to make the hand out for the lesson which I love doing. YEAH!!!

I just have to tell myself this will only make me stronger, or put me in the mental hospital. Either way here we go.

WISH ME LUCK!!!!

HMMMM

Well I just have a few ramblings. First of all I have officially committed to riding in the 60 mile bike ride. According to my friend it should take about 4 hours to complete it. She has set up a training schedule for me, so hopefully I will be ready for it in July. I also hope to be a few pounds lighter. I am excited because I have never done anything like this before. She also seems to think she is going to get me to run in a 5K I have yet to commit to that. Well it will be fun because some of my other friends from my ward are also doing it with me. I am actually one of the last to commit. I think it is called little red. Some of my friends will be riding the whole entire 104 miles, crazy. My friend that is helping me is very fit though and she trains people so I am sure she will be fine. I purchased a trainer a couple months ago and have been riding my bike sense then, but now I have a schedule I will be following. I did 50 min yesterday and actually it was really easy my butt was just killing me and I was totally board even with the TV and radio going.

Second thing I have made it 2 months and about 2weeks or so with no soda. It has been getting a little harder lately but I will make it to 5 months and hopefully even more.

Third Mitch starts school on the 12Th which frankly I am dreading but I know he really enjoys school. Hopefully we only have about 3 more years left. I am sure then he will want to do his masters but I guess we will see.

Fourth I have a new calling, 2ND counselor in the Young Women's Presidency. I am over the Beehives. I am really nervous about this. I have pretty much been in primary sense getting married I have served in nursery, CTR 8 class, activity days, sharing time specialist, 2ND counselor in primary presidency and secretary in primary presidency. I was also in the nursery before I got married. So now I will be working with teenagers, girls camp, and activities every week. They asked me on Sunday and I did not sleep hardly at all that night. I am excited but also a little scared. The one fun thing is I do have a few friends that also serve in young women's. I am happy for the brake from primary, it is funny though because I was just thinking that man I like my calling I knew what I was doing and was cool with what I had to do. Those of you that know me know I had a hard time with some people and them not doing there part. I decided that Heavenly Father new I was comfortable and decided I needed more growth so he changed things up. I think that always happens. Well wish me luck.

Well I just thought I would mention my official New Years resolution. I have decided to try and live in the moment a little more. I am the type of person who is always thinking about the next thing and when we get to this point and when this happens down the road, and with this is done we will be able to. So I am going to try and enjoy what is happening right know and not be so worried about later on.

Well we are doing well everybody is healthy, knock on wood, and the kids are back in school, yeah for me. We are excited for the new year and what will happen. We have lots of fun stuff this year. Kaleb will be getting baptised and Ashton starts Kindergarten and Kreed will be starting preschool. Mitch will have three more semesters down by the end of this year. Korben is going to be going in to first grade what a big kid. We Love You All.

Okay I am done.

Merry Christmas

Well we hope you all had a Merry Christmas. We had a lot of fun. Mitch had several days of so we enjoyed having him home. We started of with Christmas Eve party at Mitch's moms house which I forgot my camera and then Christmas morning were my kids got a Wii and a ball pit which they love and I could have saved myself a lot of money if I would have realized what a big hit that was going to be. All I did was buy a swimming pool and fill it with balls and they love it. They also got other fun things as well but that was the big hit.

We then went to my moms for Christmas day and had a big turkey and ham dinner and opened presents their. Then that night we had Mitch's dads party which got canceled due to the big snow storm. So we celebrated with his dad on Sunday and finished up with all the parties.

The kids also played out side in the snow with Mitch and had a lot of fun.

As for me I am getting a kindle it is on back order though and it will not get here until March. Inside I am so excited I can not even explain how happy I am to get this. I love to read.

It was a good Christmas with lots of fun stuff happening. Now we just have to get through New Years. I have a baby sitter and I am so excited to just hope around from party to party visiting everybody. In the past our kids are always with us so it will be fun not to have to worry about them.

Well I hope you all had a good Christmas and thank you to everybody who gave us stuff that was really nice of all of you. Sorry, I had the best of intentions to do neighbor gifts but it just ended up not happening. Maybe next year I will do that first.

Christmas fun before and after

December 24th

December 24Th is Korben's Birthday. We celebrated it on the 14Th this year, because Mitch's mom always does her Christmas party on the 24Th, and I just want it to be separate from Christmas. We just had family over and did presents and cake.

It was kind of fun having him on Christmas Eve. I was able to go home from the hospital Christmas morning and I just spent the day at my moms house. I was not in the hospital very long I stayed under 24 hours. They did not want me to take Korben that soon but they let me go with Korben after some talking. I really wanted to post of picture of Korben in the hospital, but my scanner is not working. They brought him to me in a great big stocking with a white hat that had a red ball on top it is such a cute picture. He was a very dark skinned baby and he has dark hair so he just looked so cute in the bright red stocking. Korben was an awesome baby. I have to say Korben was my cutest baby by far. He is such a good kid. He is my most quiet and my sweetest kid. He is very cuddle still today, I am sure that will change at some point. Hopefully not to soon though.

Here are some pictures of my Christmas Tree. A friend of mine wanted to see some pictures of everybody's trees so I am posting them for her. So I am also suggesting all my other friends post pictures as well.

9th Anniversary and random stuff

Well today is Mitch and mine 9Th anniversary. We went out on Saturday night to celebrate. We went to dinner and to pioneer theater to see a play. I have to say I think I have one of the best husbands. He always helps me out with everything and anything and I really mean that. He has never yelled at me or called me anything rude, and he has never swore at me. Don't get me wrong we disagree but we just do not yell at each other and we don't say mean things to each other. We just keep it about the issue. He is always saying nice things to me. I love him so much, he is really an awesome husband.

Well totally of the subject. This Sunday Mitch's brother and his wife blessed their baby. So after the blessing they did their little get together at my house because they just don't have the room at their house. So for those of you that know me, I had to have my house cleaned from top to bottom and every square inch. Everything also had to be fixed and ready to go. So we fixed hinges and finished projects like tile and an art things (two of them) for my wall, and we did paint touch ups and cleaned the entire house extremely well. Need less to say it was a crazy week and we were up late every night this week. (Mitch helped with everything all week long, like I said he is awesome.) So today I am doing nothing. No exercising and I am not getting ready and my kids will not be ready except the ones that had to go to school. The few things I will do today are, work on laundry and put up my Christmas tree so we can decorate it tonight and work on some little booklets for our primary activity on Saturday. I know it is not really doing nothing but compared to what I have been getting done during the day and at night this really is nothing.

For those of you in my ward, did your kids get a little hand out at church about the primary activity on Saturday, I was hoping they did because I dropped it of at Amy's house but she was not home and I doubted any one else thought of making one, I figured it would be a good idea to let the parents know about the activity (go figure).

Anyways sorry for the rambling. I once again apologise for the run on sentences and miss spelling and bad grammar but is just is not one of my strong points.

YEAH FOR ME!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

YEAH FOR ME!!!! I have made it just over one month with no soda and we have only ate out just a few times (4). This is a miracle because in the past we would have ate out every day except Sundays of course.

I have also started exercising as well. This is the beginning of my third week and it just happened I did not have to talk myself into it I just think I was ready and oh yeah on Halloween my dad had videoed me and I watched it and I just about freaked out. I also have a friend in my ward that has been a huge motivation to me.

I think the no soda has been so much easier this time because I am eating at home and before we were eating out and it was hard not to get a soda.


YEAH FOR ME!!!

How well do you know me ?

I decided to do this because a friend of mine did this on her blog and I thought is was really funny.
So what you do is take these questions and ask your husband to answer them about you and you also answer them about yourself. And see how well your husband knows you. I thought is was really funny. Mitch and I were laughing while we did this. So if you want you should also do this, it was fun.

STRESS

Let me just say, I can not wait until next Sunday is over with. Our primary program is next Sunday, lets just say things are crazy. I am a very organized person and have everything planned out to a tea, and the people I am working with on the program are not (mass chaos), (pulling my hair out), and a (little embarrassed). I wore my hair up today because I knew I would be hot and stressed and did not want it on my neck. I have really tried to help as much as possible with out stepping on toes but it is still crazy. I am only the secretary so I try not to be to bossy. HELP! HELP! HELP!

Well I just needed to vent a little so now I am done.

Halloween pictures

So I finally took the time to post our Halloween pictures. We had a lot of fun stuff this last few weeks. We had grandma Seegmiller's party and school parties and we visited our other grandparents and ward party and then to top it all of we went trick or treating with a bunch of our friends from our ward. We had lots of fun, but I can say I am glad it is over with and I can not wait until my kids are done with all their candy. FUN FUN FUN

Sorry to those of you that tagged me but I just don't think I am going to get to it this time around. I love tags though it is fun to read them, so please don't think I won't do them in the future.

Still no soda, it is going well.
