CrAzY, cRaZy life!!!

Okay, I know, I totally suck at this whole blogging thing, but it IS summer!! I have been such a slacker about posting anything, it's going to take me all summer long to get caught up, if I ever do that is!! I guess I'm only missing the month of June, that's not to bad, right?! So, let's back up to that point.
School ended on May 30th, what a sad and emotional day, for ME mostly. I loved my kids' teachers so much, I really hated to see it end; that and the fact that I would have to listen to them fight and argue all day long now. Anyway, we had a fantastic year and hope to return to Saratoga Shores in the fall.
The reason I say 'hope' is because we were finally given a deadline on moving out of the house we were living in. After two previous notices with no follow through we actually got the real deal issued to us at the end of April. The paper stated that we had five days to vacate the premises, but there was no way I was accepting that. So my dear sweet husband called the Attorney issuing the notice for the bank and got us til the end of May. Yeah, I got my wish...that the kids would at least get to complete the school year!! So amidst all the end of school festivities, we were trying to get packed and ready to move, what a headache!!! We were so sad to leave that awesome house, and the wonderful neighborhood that it is in. But there is no way they can make us stop attending the ward. :)
Then, the following weekend we went to Cherry Hill with my family. It was a much needed break after the move. We headed up Friday afternoon, grabbed lunch on the way, got camp all set up, then headed into Salt Lake for the Bees game. As we were sitting there enjoying the game, one of the players hit a foul ball right to the section next to ours and hit some poor lady SMACK in the mouth!! It was really sad, the EMT's had to come and take her out, she was bleeding like crazy. But after that Bee's personnel starting handing out everything you could imagine to all the people in that section, like ice-cream sandwiches, T-shirts, #1 Fan foam fingers, mini bats and balls, etc....those are the things I can remember because our kids kept sneaking over there and getting them as they were handing them out!! The game went into double overtime with the Bees finally winning, it was so exciting. After the game they put on a fantastic fireworks show, and of course the kids ran the bases and got a certificate for free kids meals at The Old Spaghetti Factory, ooohhh YUM!!! When we got back to camp we all just crashed, some better than others...Sydney had started complaining a little bit through the evening that she wasn't feeling well and ended up waking me up every couple of hours to go to the bathrooms and eventually let it all rip just outside the tent, yuck!! On Saturday we spent the day floating around the lazy river, swimming in the pool, and riding down Cardiac Canyon. Sydney even tried it and liked it this year, with no persuasion or force on my behalf. Then as we were sleeping so nice and sound, the storm rolled in and started raining pretty heavy at about 4am. It rained almost constant 'til we were all packed up and ready to leave at about noon on Sunday. We of course weren't ready to go home yet, so Matt decided we should go visit our good friends in Bear Lake, we were already halfway there after all!! But then his idea of going to Bear Lake evolved into taking the scenic route around, through Evanston and into Bear Lake from the back. It was a nice drive and a quick little visit with old friends, then as we headed for home we got to stop and say HI to some cousins in Logan. I love that we're still young enough to just take off on an unplanned adventure, and drag our kids along for the ride!!
Other than that we've just been trying to find some kind of order in our crazy chaotic lives. We are living with Matt's parents for the time being and trying to make sense of it all. I couldn't be more grateful for ALL that they do for us!!
I'll try and keep you all updated with our craziness, but it's not near as much fun to blog about all our fun festivities without having pictures to post. I put the camera in my pocket after taking a picture of the kids in front of the Welcome to Wyoming sign and the lens got sucked in all crooked, so now it won't work, and that's why I don't have any pics posted from our Cherry Hill adventure.
