Making Memories!

I was just reading my aunt's blog about memories of growing up. I have to say that I was very mean to my siblings. It is something that I will always regret and wish I could take back, but hope that I have made up for it in some small way. It seems that as we have grown older, we have grown closer. I know I can call my sisters at 3:00am and they will talk things out. All 3 of my brothers are jokesters. I don't get to see Jeff or Matt alot, but Nate is only 5 years older than Cooper (who will be 11 in about 6 weeks!) I try to include him in things and hope that he will have good memories of me. I was so mad when my parents would make me take Krista with me wherever I went. I know I would have gotten into alot more trouble than if she hadn't been there. I am thankful for loving and forgiving parents.
Do you ever stop raising your children? If one of my children are hurt, I call my mom in a panic, I am a nurse!! I know what to do.
I am blogging at almost 0300 because I have a party tommorrow and my house is not perfect. I have spent 3 days cleaning (was it really that dirty?) and dipped pretzels for 3 hours this evening after a 2 hour American Legion meeting!! And I am trying to convinve people to be in charge of Pennies by the inch in our areas and am not having much success!! ( Having 2 bishops yell at you.... not a good time). why do I do this to myself?? UHHHH!!!!! I need to learn to say no and only do 1 thing at a time. I am going to go crawl into Madelaine's bed, since she is in my spott and won't sleep by herself. happy reading to those of you who made it tis far!!! ove to you all!

Cooper + Football = injuries!!

Cooper had been going to football practice for 3 and a half weeks when it was time for his 1st game. He had to miss it so he could show his pig at our County Fair. (Which he sold for $825.00!!) Then he practiced the next 4 days and at his game on Sat. got hurt within the 1st half of the game. Luckily there is a kid on his team whose dad is a Dr. When he ran out and saw Cooper on the field, he told Lane to take him to the ER. Cooper is in a splint on his Right arm for another 8 days, then we go back to have it re x-rayed to see if he needs a cast! He broke his hand last year the very last play of the football season. We had to go through all of that last time too! I'm ready to be done with Football!! But Cooper thinks if it's not broken he gets to play the rest of the season, I'm sorry to say, he doesn't!!
