So here is my blog for today. This last weekend I left Marc with all 5 yes 5 kids from morning until sunday evening. I went to Moab with my mom, sister, and sister in law to go river rafting with a group called women in the outdoors. We had a blast. We got there friday evening (after stopping and getting glitter toes done) and set up camp. I am sure that was a site to see. 4 women trying to set up this massive tent (it has 2 rooms and is about the sixe of 2 4 man tents put together with some spare room). Once we got that set up we headed to town to look around for a bit and ended up buying alot more then I should have. We then went to dinner at a mexican restraunt that was great food. We stayed up talking in the tent then went to bed in preperations for a day on the river the next day.
The next morning we were up early and having a continental breakfast with the group. We then all (34 ladies total) loaded onto a bus and van and headed up river. My sisters, mom and I ended up some how in a raft with just us 4 and our guide. There were 3 big rafts (1 of them the people rowed and the guide just steered) and 4 duckies (inflatable 2 man canoes). We had a blast on the river all day. We did end up having to save one lady who was flipped out of her duckie. We had a yummy lunch half way down. We then got back to camp and went for a ride around town for a bit. After that we went to camp and showered and had a great dinner.
We stayed up late taking some great pictures that will never see the light of day again and just having fun. The next day we packed up (once again great entertainment watching us disasemble this massive tent and get 4 bikes back on the truck). We then went and had breakfast at Dennys then took some more great pictures on the way home. All in all great trip. We plan to make it a yearly event to get out kid free for one weekend each year. Though next year we want to take an extra day as we felt it wasnt enough time to do all we wanted.
The kids are all doing great. I have pulled the twins from school as I am tired of all the crap going on there with the teachers and my kids. I have been called to many times to go pick up Jackson then get there and he is fine and is fine all day at home. I am actually looking forward to public school for them now. It terrified me at first but in the long run it will make my life much easier. We are also 95% positive they will be getting into a new school called Karey Sue (spelling) that is for disabled children only. It has better teacher student ratios, the boys will be able to be in diffrent classes and it has a swimming pool.
Hunter and Haylie have 3 1/2 weeks of school then they are out for there really long 4 week summer break and then on to the 4th grade they go. Wow were has the time gone. I remember just yesterday them being in my preschool class together. I cant believe how fast this year has gone and how fast all the kids are growing up.
Zander is now almost (on the 13th) 6 months old. He is a rolling fool. If anyone wants to voluneer to come change him feel free. You let go for even a second and he is rolling away. He still isnt sitting up but he just has a rotund little butt. I think he will be crawling by weeks end though. He has leared how to turn himself then roll to get were he wants to go. He is also going up onto his hands and knees and rocking then shooting himself forward. He is starting to army crawl a bit but likes rolling better as its alot faster.
Well that is us for now.
