We had a wonderful trip to Oregon. When I get the chance I will try to post more pics. We were gone for 9 days instead of 10....because I got anxious to come home and drove straight through 15hours to get home before Jason had to leave for work. We had a lot of fun. The kids got to spend a lot of time with my cousins from Oregon. We went to the Benton County Fair where my cousin Hailey had her pig up for auction. She got a wonderful price for her pig.....made about $660 over what she spent raising the pig. The kids got to ride on the rides and eat tons of junk. We also went berry picking and the kids actually ate some berries! I brought home some blueberries and some raspberries. I will be making my first home-made blueberry pie tomorrow! We got to go to the Portland Temple where Chelsey and Chris got married. Hailey had the task of watching the kids while we were inside. Thanks Hailey!!!
Then we partied at the reception! My girls looked so adorable in their dresses. I had so many people say they could just keep Jinelle! But of course, I wouldn't let that happen.
Now the kids are back in school and its back to our hectic lives. Soccer started while we were gone, so today is our first soccer practice. We have four different teams this year, so we will be gone a lot! Our Saturdays from now until November are booked solid!!!!! The kids are at their new school, Cypress Academy of the Arts, and were really excited to start. Aiden says he'll like school until his teacher gives him homework, while I have a feeling will be right away. Ari and Noah were excited, even about getting homework. Noah was most excited to be able to ride the bus home. He's been waiting to be allowed to! I will still be taking them to school everyday, but they will ride the bus home. It's our family compromise! (If it was up to me, I would take them and pick them up!). I took pics this morning as well, and as soon as I have a free moment, I will download them as well.
I have a full day of stuff today. I have to go shopping since we were gone for so long. We need to stock up the fridge! Then I have to catch up on laundry, cook dinner, and have it on the table when the kids walk in the door from school, eat, change, go to soccer, come home, bathe the kids, and off to bed they go. Then maybe I will get to relax a little before I go to bed. Then its a whole new busy day tomorrow!!!!
