This week just flew by. I don't even know what happened, a little update on the freezer though-totally didn't work. But Isaac got our $$ back and bought another one, its a lot smaller but it works. Last night he was having so much fun just moving stuff from our over stuffed little freezer on top of the fridge out to the new one in the garage. He kept saying "It still looks sparse." And it does but I'm happy to have the extra space. Tuesday I had to keep score at soccer again, Wed and Thurs Isaac had Young Men's and Scouts. (He's kind of gone all night on those-at least so far) Friday we had dinner with both my Bro's families at Ky's it was fun, Ann and Riley were pretty cute together. And Saturday the Malibu was our project, I think its finally ready to sell :)
Next it was off to the General Relief Society Meeting, which of course was excellent. I loved President Monson's talk about not judging others and certainly need to do a better job. I was thinking to myself, when this comes out in the Ensign I probably need to read it at least once a week! Its hard in our world not to make judgments but its important and an extra big deal since that is what the prophet chose as a topic to address the RS with. Such a great message, I loved it.

Here's our little Malibu-mostly I just posted it cuz its the only pic I have for the week.

It's a nice little car but I don't need or want a nice car right now so I really hope it sells!

It's Sunday, so I guess I'll blog...
Monday Isaac helped haul hay-he loves to help-and my family loves him extra for all his help. He's such a good guy! Tuesday was soccer, then mostly... it was just a long stressful week. Friday we went out to dinner with my folks for my birthday. Saturday we went yard sale'n -which was supposed to be fun- then had family breakfast. We should have done it in the opposite order, because yard sale'n just turned out to be driving around starving. It was NOT a blast. Breakfast was awesome by time we got to it though, I love apple pancakes with apple syrup. We also drove the Breast Cancer Survivors truck in the Rodeo Parade. Isaac was being so dramatic about having to wear a pink shirt. It was "for sure the gayest thing he's ever worn in his life" Pretty Funny. And I, very lovingly of course, basically said "Just wear it, my cousin in fighting for her life!"
Today my folks took off on their cruise, I'm excited for them, and we're having Grama and Grampa Frei up for dinner.
Oh and I almost forgot, we bought a used freezer. It was such a good deal it was worth the risk. Isaac picked it up while he was in Vegas this week. I'm way excited to have more freezer space.

Sunday night we drove to Panguitch, were there long enough to say Hi to Barb and Jer's family around the campfire then go to bed. We got up early Monday morning and drove to Calf Creek where we met up with Isaac's mom and two of his brothers and a friend and hiked up to the falls.

Isaac, bless his heart, talked everyone except his mom into getting in, it was easily the most bitter cold I've ever been in my life. I really think it was worse than when we got in the Colorado river-but we didn't bail clear in that. He of course just thought it was great and had a blast. I only lasted about 2 seconds.

Isaac's Uncle Coy and Georgette were in town house hunting so we went to dinner with them one night. It was fun. I had met Georgette when we hiked the Grand Canyon but I hadn't met Coy, he reminded me a ton of Isaac's dad.
Friday he did the auction thing again for Jesse, and I came home to a mini-van. Yikes, good thing that is headed to Huntington. Sat. Morning Isaac was being super productive and I was just laying around, then my mom and Ky called because they were out Yard Sale'n and they'd seen a bike they thought I might want, so they came and picked me up and we checked it out. Lame. But then we kept going and I had a blast. They had bought a life jacket for Ann for $3.00 It was just fun. We made plans to do it again next week. And then the Adult session of Stake Conf. It was good and I loved getting to sit by Uncle Steve, Aunt Sher, Ky, Kami, and Ann, its like a family event. Good times.

Last Weeks Pic's Finally

Here's me being sponged. I was just thankful for the big Thor to take most of the sponges.


My mom and I took Ann (and Po...ug I hate dogs) on a little walk


And while I was pulling pictures off of my phone I could help but grab these of Isaac repairing out back window. And yes that is definitely a hatchet in is hand, and the bottom one is of the rug that ended up being the window that night. It's been a while ago but it was an eventful family home evening!

Another week has just flown by! Mostly I like the blog for the picture aspect of journaling but this week I've got nothing! (Well really there are 2 pics on my cell phone but its currently lost, I'm hoping I find it at my mom's house today, I know I had it over there last night) I guess I could start the week backwards with that. We watched the Cougs play (and win) over there last night. I asked Isaac "After we've been married for 25 years, do you thing you'll be a BYU fan?" to which he replied "No, I don't like Mormon football, but I still like the church." Whatever! It was really nice of him to watch it with me when he doesn't even like it. I also bottled a few peaches with my mom yesterday. Friday he went to the auction so he had to work late, I took him dinner, it was fun we had a little 1/2 hour long date, then I went back to school and watched part of the football game. He worked at the Data Center late a few nights this week, the one he didn't I had to go to the soccer game. Nothing to exciting. It was homecoming week at school, so one day the students threw wet sponges at the teachers at lunch. I consented when it was a fundraiser for the exec council-but the little buggers didn't even end up paying. And they had a volleyball tournament at lunch, so the winning team got to play the teachers Friday-we lost :( but its pretty fun.
That's all I can think of for now. This morning we were sitting on the couch cutting up old Ensigns looking for any President Monson quotes for our SS lesson, that was actually pretty fun.

This week has been crazy, and maybe more fun than we can handle... I can't remember Monday but starting Tuesday with 5 hours of soccer (and I didn't see a single goal) it was one thing after another. I don't have the best pics, but we did have the best time and I'll post what I can.

Wednesday we did the midnight right now Snow Canyon with my work friends.



Thursday I came home to this fun surprise!

Then we went to Grampa Frei's Birthday Party where the great-grandkids stole the show. Riley showed off his walking skills and Ann was just as cute as ever and really thought Grampa was going to share some ice cream with her, she totally got ripped off.



Friday we had a little camping adventure, its been a long time since we've done anything like that and Isaac LOVE LOVE LOVES it, so we threw some tin foil dinners together -cooked them in the oven and took them with us, I liked that trick so I didn't have to smell like smoke- a mattress in the back of the truck and headed to Sand Cove

Notice the full moon, for some reason we didn't really make the connection that it was bright enough to ride down Snow Canyon it was going to be just that bright shinning in our eyes all night long. Oh well it was fun.

Saturday afternoon we went to the lake (in a wind storm) with Jill and Devin. It was too windy to do anything but swim but I was so glad we got to hang out with them before they move up north.


Saturday evening we went up to Klint and Caroline's for Riley's Birthday party. It was fun. Cute little guy, that year went by fast.

Today it was down to Vegas to the Turners (basically family) for Brad's "Not" Homecoming. Its was so fun to see everyone. Bill didn't know we were married, he came out to have a chat with us and make sure he approved of Isaac, it was just cute and funny. Tonight we took the sprayer we borrowed back up to Uncle Paige's. He and Aunt Afton got to showing us all of the old antiques they have, it was pretty cool, they have some neat stuff. We ate almonds off their tree, grapes from under the arbor that "were more for juice'n" and came home with a few of the seedless ones and some delicious peaches. It was a good time.
Busy Busy Fun Week!

Isaac's been to Emery County the last 3 weekends. Yikes, it fun there but that is a long drive! Last week his youngest brother Shawn came home with him. It was fun to have him (but I don't know how much fun he could have had, all he did was work!) They pulled the tree stumps out of the front of our yard, re-oiled the roof, and my Grama's shed, and hauled load after load of hay. Oh and Shawn fixed the vacuum. I felt so bad for Shawn after they hauled 4 or 5 loads of hay the first day here I said "I'm so sorry Shawn." And he said "It builds Character" that made me smile and I thought he really must be related to Isaac (or brainwashed by Isaac-either way) He was a ton of help and it was fun to have him. They also got the jet ski running! So that was one fun thing he got to do but true to his vacation the throttle cable broke while he was out in the middle of the lake and he had to paddle the dang thing in. Poor guy.
Other than that just a regular busy week, we had Back to School Night (pointless-and a horrible turnout besides.) I helped my mom a little baking goods for the bake sale for Jodi, that was fun. We went to Emery County Friday Night, Shawn and I watched a little of the DH vs Emery football game and Isaac came up later after he got off. We had a family work day on Isaac folks house Sat. It was really cool having all of his brothers there, and they got a lot done, its looking good. Isaac hurt his knee pulling the staple gun off the roof, I was kind of worried about him because it got pretty swollen and he was limping pretty bad. However, when we left he saw trucks he recognized at Jesse's car lot and found them there putting the sewer line in. When he hopped right in the trench to help I figured his knee was probably alright.
Today after we taught our Sunday School class we went to the last meeting of the old singles ward. (They're doing away with all of those...again) It was such a blessing in both of our lives I was glad we got to go, and it was and excellent meeting. President Graf and Bishop Hurst both spoke, it was sad, but it was a really neat too. We saw so many great friends, and I especially liked getting to visit with the leaders afterward. I'm grateful the ward was there when I needed it, we're definitely some of the lucky ones.
Then family dinner and Grama C came, we swung by Grama and Grampa Frei's for a couple minutes before Isaac took off to Priesthood and that about wraps up the week.

Working on the jetski...
