Pretty Scarry

Every year I get closer and closer to being 40 and that just amazes me. Where did the time go ? So we survived the week after the 4th of July in fact it went pretty fast. This week has been a busy one. Sunday we got together with my family for mine and my brothers birthdays. Monday was an exciting one for the family. We went to the American Idol 2008 Tour. That was exciting and fun. Keara enjoyed it and Devin got a little bored. All in all it was really fun. Tuesday Keara had a dentist appointment so Derek stayed home with the kids and I went to work to spend my birthday, crazy huh ! We went to exchange my birthday present from my brother and his family for a bigger size (I really hate having a big chest). We tried a new restaurant in Riverdale--Texas Roadhouse it was really good. We then came home to relax. The kids got me some really pretty jewelry, new wallets, and Derek got me some new outfits.

Thursday Keara left for Star Valley, WY with a friend she will be back on Sunday she calls every night to tell us what fun she is doing. I think that her brother is missing her but don't tell him I told you. Devin spent today with his Grandpa Eccles. They went to see the Batman movie He said He liked it. Surprised He sat that long 2 hours and 32 minutes is a long time to sit.


Next week I will be getting my IUD on Monday. I plan on sleeping as much as I can that day. I haven't been sleeping much. The last time I had a good night sleep was on July 5th. I don't understand why I can't sleep when they work on the freeway behind our house. The funny thing is I fall asleep fine but then after Derek goes to sleep the noise and the rolling of the steam roller keeps me up. Derek told me today he thinks it's cause I can sleep while the TV's on. Maybe the TV will have to stay on so that I can sleep. I can't function without sleep. We are hoping that on the 23rd we can go to a Rocky Mountain Review game. The 24th we will be taping the Pioneer Day parades for my mother. Her stake did a float this year and she was on the committee. We plan on going and seeing the movies that we want to see that day, Friday after I get off work, and Saturday after I get off work. We only have 5 that I can remember that we want to see as a family.


Hope all is great with your family. Our love and thoughts are with you wherever you are. Keep in touch !
