we're back!

we had a wonderful time in utah, and are sad to say we had to come back to the heat. it was beautiful up there, we even wore pants one day!! yipee! nathan got in a golf game with the bro in laws, and a byu football game with the fam. he was in heaven. i had a good time too, just grateful that heather had a pump and everything else i forgot! i told nathan i was forgetting a lot, but he just brushed me off. little did i know that i left the prescription tummy meds for rachel, brought a too small shirt for colby for church, no church pants for caleb, bekah's dress was too short, no tennis shoes for the kids, sunscreen, pump..... the list goes on. it was ridiculous!! doesn't that always happen? in my defense, it was a very busy day before we left! i survived the missionaries, and apparently didn't screw it up too bad, cuz they are coming today with another investigator!
also, on sat we went to seven peaks, a waterpark, and kept rachel under the umbrella for all but 10 min where i brought her out, sitting in my shadow in the water to cool off. she had on a sleeper covering her arms and legs, the only thing not covered was her head. well, she got a massive sunburn!! under her right eye and cheek blistered, oozed, blistered then scabbed. it looks like she has a bad case of road rash. i am an awful mother!! colby got massively burned a couple years ago. i shouldn't be allowed to have kids!
well, back to the grind with 30 pages of homework for the kids, sheesh, they do a lot of work in one day!! and i learned yesterday that rebekah has ordered a pbj sandwich for lunch all week. i wanted to strangle her! i am paying for that!! ug. i told her i could make that for her, and she said, ok, where's my lunch? we were going to the car!! i told her she had to eat a hamburger today. what a nerd!
