Here's a little update, for anyone wondering about my family's sanity after my last post. We are all healthy again and doing fine! Derek and I finally had our date night and it was terrific of course! We were able to watch a movie--The Gridiron Gang (it was really good, which I was glad about because we mostly watched it cause the Rock was in it--only Samoan Hollywood Star--can anyone think of any other famous Samoans??)
Then we went to Borders to hang out, that is actually a lot of fun for us. Especially when we can peruse through the store with out us sheep hearding our kids to stay in the kiddie section. We had a fabulous babysitter too. She's a Young Woman in the ward and my girls were doing back flips when they found out she was coming to babysit--it was really funny.
Also S and L were Pom Girls for a high school football game here. Sports here are a real buisness and they go all out on their stadiums, cheerleaders, pom girls etc. They both enjoyed it. I failed to hear the instructions to dress the girls in black shorts, so you can clearly see S she is in pink shorts in the middle. L was harder to see since she was in black shorts.
We went to a birthday party for a little boy in our ward. His Grandpa owns a horse ranch and they brought up a horse for the little kids to take rides on. Most of the children were afraid. In fact only my kid's and the birthday boy and his sister rode the horse, because all the other little ones were too afraid to sit on it. The Grandpa just loved X. She by far was the most excited by the horse. And Granpa was very patient with X's enthusiasm. Because when ever we tried to lift X off the horse, she'd clech her legs against the saddle and stiffen up so it was soo hard to remove her. Grandpa just let her stay and pet the horse until she really understood her turn was over. Then afterwards he came and sat by me and said, "Are your kids Native American?" And I said that they were and he looked at X and said that he thought he could tell. I guess he was part Cherokee and Chactaw (sp?) is what he said.
