It has been a couple of weeks since I posted in our blog.   I have a lot of random pictures that I just wanted to take.  To clarify about the video this was not taken during Sacrament meeting it was during program practice on Saturday.  We were supposed to go to Sacajawea Heritage Days with Home link for school on Friday but we all ended up with the flu.   Thursday we finally took the kids back to Hermiston to golf. Ben has been begging for about a year to go back to Hermiston for that reason. We took him and about the third hole in he puked everywhere. He cried because he waited this long to golf and for Heritage days. 
Dan came to visit last weekend and we went to the Local Sausage Fest, I think that is what it was called. The kids had fun, Emily wanted to get her hair colored pink. My mom made the fluffy pink dress which we are going to make her Halloween costume. We will color her hair pink, dress her in the dress and give her a wand. She will be pinkalicious for Halloween.  We had a science project that Ben had to figure out that a solid is a solid even if its shape is changed. We used play dough. The kids had a blast; mom did not enjoy picking up the mess off the floor though. 
Earlier this week Emily was outside playing, she hadn’t had a nap. She was running around on the drive way and she was tired, tripped and fell and landed on her face. I thought she broke her teeth even more. Luckily she didn’t.  She just scrapped her face really bad and had a fat lip.

This week has been busy. Labor day we went to a bbq at a friends house .The kids had a lot of fun playing with their friends.   Tuesday was the first day of school for us.  I am homeschooling and first grade for us is 3 hours a day versus almost 7 hours at public school.  Tuesday was also the first day of ballet class. All boys first year ballet receive an entire year free. How could I pass up this opportunity. Joey was so excited he even practiced on his own the next day. Ben didn’t want to go. He cried before we left the house saying it was a nightmare but he was awake.  After class he said he liked it and wanted to go again.  We also put our house on the market for sale. We are going to see if we can get the equity out of it and better our living circumstances so we don’t live pay check to pay check.  Joseph’s birthday was Thursday but we celebrated his 5th birthday on Friday because his dad was off that day.  Friday Joseph woke up to puppy balloons and streamers. He opened five gifts for being five. At 1:11 p.m. we had birthday cake on the time he was born.  He told me that he wanted a strawberry cake with strawberry, blueberries, and puppies on top.  At least he likes good food. Which he wanted for his birthday dinner Olive Garden (I gave him the option of McDonald and Burger King for the play area) we also went to toys r us and they recognized him in the store he was really excited.
