The weekend

Friday, Benjamin went off in search of his big Elk, so it's been me and the boys for the weekend. (by the way, the search is still on).
Saturday morning I dragged the kids out of bed at 6am to head over to Springville to help host a yard sale with some of my inlaws. I got to get rid of a bunch of stuff and make a little money in the process. It all goes towards my "buy things for the new house" fund (like toilet paper holders, I'm sick of rolls on the floor).
In the afternoon we headed to Payson for the annual Fernelius family swim party. My parents put this together every year. First we met at the pavillion for lunch. They always have some yummy food catered and this year it was Chinese. After food we always have our August birthday celebration complete with cupcakes and ice cream. The it was off to the pool. I was pretty worried about trying to watch all the boys myself but thankfully some family members pitched in and helped out (thank you!!). The kids had a blast! Nathaniel and Caleb were in the pool for 3 hours, getting out only for the required 10 minute break. They still haven't quit talking about how much fun they had. Thanks to mom and dad for another great party!
Today we hung out at home and were lazy. There was no church due to the temple dedication. I had gotten tickets for Nathaniel and I to go, and I was planning to attend the session at 3:00. I layed down with Jaxon for his nap and I woke up at 3:05. Opps!! Maybe next time! My parents normally cook dinner on Sundays for any family that wants to come over. Since we had the party yesterday they decided to take today off. Since I knew they were planning on eating yesterdays leftovers for dinner, I popped in with dinner for them. A pasta dish, fresh baked breadsticks, and gooey chocolate cookies. I won't discuss the jello that never set up (urg!).
And tomorrow we get back to the grind. Caleb gets to start school this week, exciting for him and I'm sure sad for Jaxon (and me). He can't figure out why his brothers leave all day. Good thing for him (and me) that Caleb's gone during naptime. He can sleep and I can do whatever I want. YEA!
