oh the things kids say these days....

on friday night i went to my sister's house and babysat her 4 boys so her husband, Justin, could surprise her for her birthday (which is today - happy 33rd sister!) and take her away for the night.

needless to say they were a handful and we had our fun. i think i got up at least 7 times during the night to help Kye (the youngest) who kept crying. the next day Justin told me "oh, we should have told you about that - you just let him cry himself back to sleep." oh, well, goodbye good night's rest.

on saturday we hopped in the car to take Carter to his football game. on the way home Keyan asked (from the backseat of the suburban) "Wendy, why don't you have any kids?" well, shoot. how do i explain that one to him? so i told him that i didn't have kids cause i wasn't married. that seemed to satisfy him. gotta love that question.

random posting of pics from the infamous sturgis trip

so...I never finished my blog from our trip to Sturgis in July.

sorry.

I promise I will randomly post pics from the trip. Maybe someday my faithful blog visitors will see all they want to see of my pics from the trip.

the one above was a pic taken at the top of somewhere...the name is fleeing my brain right now.....it was in Nebraska on the Oregon Trail. Scotts Bluff? sounds good. and yes, that is called motorcycle-helmet-head-hair. not flattering at all. oh well. can't deny my natural beauty.

the view from the top of the bluff was beautiful. Some of my favorite pics from the trip were taken from here.

the weekend

well, as usual, the weekend was pretty busy. i went to Carter's football game against Bountiful on saturday morning. They won the game and Carter got to play offense for the first time. he did a great job.

After that, Keyan's soccer game got rained out. it was super cold that day, but thank goodness didn't rain on us at Carter's game.

the girls spent our "girls' night out" (while the men went to the Priesthood meeting) at Brigette's house saturday night and made sugar cookies with the kids. it is truly amazing what their little stomachs can handle without puking anything up. also on saturday night my car died and is probably going to have to have the alternator replaced. i love my car - but hate the cost of upkeep sometimes.
And of course it was conference weekend, full of all sorts of inspirational information. i LOVE conference weekend and can't wait to get the Ensign in a few weeks to read in detail what we were taught.

and now we're back to monday.
