Monday

Monday....What to say about Monday. Monday's are hard days for me..... Right after a lazy Sunday. Jared and Trenton left for Riggins on Friday after school. Trenton was more excited than he has been in awhile. I think his bag was packed for atleast 3 days. Jared picked him up from school and away they went. The girls and I just hung out at home on Friday and then we went to lunch and shopping in Nampa on Saturday. We had a good time. Jared and Trenton got home around 11:30pm on Saturday night. Jared shot a spike elk and boy was Trent excited...and tired. After Jared shot it, they skinned it and cut it up. Trenton was determined that he was going to carry a hind leg out. And sure enough he did. It was very rough terrain and steep. Jared had to lift up his pack for him because it was so heavy, but he walked atleast a half mile with it on his back. I am so glad Jared got to take him. It meant the world to Trenton.

The annual Primary Program was on Sunday and went well. All the kids read their parts really well. I invited our good friends, The Mclinns to come with us and am so glad they came. It really meant a lot to me. After church we came back to the house and had a yummy roast dinner. The rest of Sunday was spent visiting and relaxing. Later that evening Jared and the kids played football in the yard while I watered plants. All in all a very nice day.

I always have a hard time on Mondays. I usually don't eat the greatest over the weekend and then it is really hard to wake up at 5:00 am to go work out. So, I didn't this morning. Emma goes to Kindergarten every other day and it switches each week. So this week, on Monday, Wednesday and Friday it will just be Cael and I. I have gotten so I really enjoy those weeks. It's kind of fun to just have him home. Although, he really doesn't know what to do in the house without the other kids.

Cael hasn't gotten obsessed with loaders and tractors. Tonight I sent him out with Trenton to go help Jared cut some firewood. They brought up a load of wood in the loader and when Trent and Jared were stacking it by the fence, Cael was just a crying wanting Jared to pick him up. Then when Jared brought him inside, Cael was just in a panic wanting to get back on the loader. Poor little guy. So Jared took him back out and got in the loader and Cael was in heaven. Jared is going to have a hard time getting out the door without his little buddy.

We have gotten out of the habit of having FHE and we decided we have got to start up again. So tonight was the first week back. Taiylor gave the lesson on Honesty and did such a great job. We have had a little bit of a problem with honesty with the kids so it was a good refresher for them.

I am working 3 days this week which I am not too excited about. Linda is having knee surgery so I am filling in for her. I just feel like I am so busy with the kids that it is getting harder and harder to work. Love those kids. They are growing up way too fast.
