I got a new computer!!! Yes I was at Walmart at 4:30 on black friday!--never do that again, unless I have a crew with me. So I spent a quiet day messing with my computer. The kids were at their dad's house and I just cleaned and did the laundry while I watched Ann of Green Gables. I absolutely love that show!!! Today it was the continuing story, which is my favorite. It is a little more worldly than the earlier shows, but it makes you feel so much! It was kind of torture for me, but I just love the love story!!!!
um--this comp doesnt' have a card reader on it--lame I know. So no pics until I get a usb plug in thingy.

I'm back
What's been going on: Jess is in school and she's doing good. We get to see her once in awhile--she is having fun and working hard. Matt made the bball team and plays JV and Varsity. His first game was a very exciting game against Hunter High but we lost by one!!!! I'm still waiting for him to dunk it in a game--you can do it!!!
Brooke made the freshman bball team and is doing great--especially for not really ever playing before. In her first game, her dad told her that he would give her a dollar for every blocked shot, basket or rebound she got, by half time, she was up to 11 dollars! Also by half time she was out of the game with a sprained ankle--yes I told her she didn't need ankle braces, just high tops. We are going to get the braces by her next game! She is so funny, she said "why doesn't everyone block shots? It's so fun!"
Jack is taking a break from bball for dec. His team won the league--they were undefeated until the last game and they lost by one! He is liking school and is doing very well in art.
Porter, Heber and Eli are all doing great--we are all trying to adjust to me working. I have some wonderful friends who volunteered to help me with the boys while I work. And the boys really enjoy going to their houses! Thanks so much!
So that's what's going on, not too exciting, just busy. I have found though, that I get more done around the house when I am so busy. I really appreciate everyone who is helping me in anyway!!! I love you!

Matt at the Homecoming Dance
Matt asked a girl named Carly from Weber High to the Homecoming dance. Brooke and I made dinner and served them which was way better than any restaraunt! Oh he doubled with his friend Robert and Carly's friend Rachel. They were very nice girls and they all looked like they had a good time! It was really fun for us to serve them!
Happy Birthday Porter!!!!!!!!
It was porter's
9th birthday! I can't believe he is so old! We just watched some home movies of him when he was almost 2. We would ask him his name and he would say " Porpie du bumbum!"
We had sloppy joe's for dinner and he wanted blueberry cheesecake for dessert. He got a pair of lacross gloves and balls from Jess, some bball shoes and a bball from his dad and Mandy, then he got a light sabor and football from Scott and me. And a bunch of candy and gum from the other kids. Spoiled! He deserves it!
I love you porter!

First Day of School
Back to the old routine!!! Hurray!!! I don't like having the kids gone all day! but it's nice to have a regular bedtime and wakeup time! I got up at 5:30, got the kids up and 6. Loaded them ALL in the Suburban and around 7 and drove to Brigham. We dropped Brooke off first at the Middle School. I rolled down the window as she was leaving and we all yelled "goodbye Brooke! We love you!!!" she was so embarrassed--it was great! Then we drove to the High School and dropped Matt off. We did the same to him, but he yelled "Bye! I love you too!" (it takes a lot to embarrass him!) Then we drove to the intermediate school and dropped Jack off--I hate leaving them on the first day in the big school! We drove back to Bear River and dropped Porter off at the elementary. When we got home Heber asked if I could take him to school now--we'd just be a few min early. His first day of kindergarten--we still had to wait 3 more hours! Dave came and took him for his first day, Eli put his school clothes on and his backpack and was all ready to go with him--I felt so bad that he couldn't go, he was kinda sad! Also, Jess started college today. So I have kids in 5 different schools--wow!
