October 2010

Annie wearing her birthday outfit she picked out. More pictures of the birthday later. I'm trying to catch up! :)
We celebrated the life of a good friend of ours on Oct. 9. Derrick passed away in December 2005 at the age of the 25. This year would have been his 30th birthday. Jed was a band with Andrew Hyde and Derrick. They are wearing their band t-shirts. Jed had an original t-shirt and we new ones made for his family and some friends.
His sisters and mother in the middle. We love them!
Oma and Opa with the kids

Playing Catch up?

Do you ever catch up? I used to all the time. Lately, I have barely had time to figure out what to do the next hour! But for the last hour today, I have read all of your blogs. Guess you could say I was catching up on you. If I had time I would have commented on all of your blogs but instead I'll just leave a few comments here!

Amanda Boo- I hope your baby comes soon! Your going to handle two little ones like a champ no worries!

Dani-I'll see you soon! Your trips are making me exhausted just looking at them! ;)

Erin- Congrats on the new house!

Sarah-I checked out your husband's new blog. I can only understand half of it. ;)

Its time for me to get my running shoes on now. Catch ya'll later!

3rd children will fall asleep anywhere.

Wow, I can't believe I've been doing this so long. This time you will be seeing a hodgepodge of pictures from August.

Clarie turned 5. I am so lucky to get to keep her an extra year at home! She is reading lots of sight words and I think she is really enjoying playing with Annie more than ever. Its almost like they know this is the last time they will be together all the time. Claire is my most stubborn child but also my brightest star. I love her and all the good things about her!

My sister in law, Megan, and was married August 21. They were married in the Salt Lake Temple. I am sooo happy for her and her daughter! They have landed themselves a great guy, Andrew. We were only in Utah for 3 days. We left the big girls behind at Grandma's. Lucy was her usual angel self. She slept the entire flight home (3 and half hours) and then in the car till we got to our final destination. I was shocked!

I'm thinking its about time for fall to start! I have been "running" walk/running for the last 6 weeks. I am doing the St. Jude Half Marathaon Dec. 4. It will be so much nicer when the weather will cooperate a little better! Also, we have weekend planned of Cooper Young Festival and a family drive to Shiloh. Maybe if your lucky I'll take some pictures. For now enjoy the old photos!

Courage

I hope you will take the time to watch this video. As a member of the Church of Latter Day Saints, I am so humbled to "know" Stephanie. I hope to be as beautiful as she is one day. Jesus Christ and Heavenly Father want us to return home. They will guide us there as we have faith and the courage in their plan.

Update

I feel as if I've been leaving the blog world hanging for a while now. Here's whats new:

My brother Thomas left July 26 for the Santaigo Chile Mission. He will be serving there for the next two years. He is currently learning Spanish in Utah and will be going to Chile in September. I can only imagine how amazing this will be for him! This his him at his Farewell Open House. The missionaries serving in Memphis came by to say good bye!

Clarie Bear turned 5. I'm hoping at her next check up she will be big enough to at least not have to sit in a regular car seat anymore. But who know? at 4 she was still only 28 pounds so we'll see. She won't be going until the end of October. She is the smartest girl! She can read some sight words now like cat, the, dog.... I guess her preschool is going to have to keep her pretty busy this year. She doesn't seem upset that some of her friends are starting Kindergarten this year. I will be so sad next year without her.

Annie continues to change her outfits at least twice a day. She also continues to be the comic relief in this house.

Lucy and Daddy are bonding alot these days. He often comes home from work, eats dinner, and then takes her upstairs. Sometimes he is on his laptop studying for the 4th Cpa exam and sometimes I have no idea what they are doing up there but I'm glad they get their time in.

Myrtle Beach (and other reasons I haven't been blogging)

Since, I always upload my pictures backwards. I guess I'll take you on the trip backwards as well. Okay so this is day 5. Monday. That day the boys went and played the World Tour Golf Course and the girls went shopping. That night we did the special beach pictures. In the rain, and wind, and kids were screaming (okay just Claire was screaming) these are a few we took with my camera then the professional got there and thats when all hell really let loose. (more pictures to come on that). Missing the the big group shot is my Levi's finance Jenn and Vance's girlfriend Rebekkah. (more pictures of that to come too)

Day 4- Beach all day. Seafood Buffet at Night. Best crab legs EVER!
Lucy is not a fan of the beach.
Day 3- Children's Muesuem and Date Night. (not pictured) but we went to a the Flying Fish.


Day 2- Beach in the morning/Ripley's Aquarium in the afternoon
Day One- Quick Beach trip and then Cirqu de Sole type show (not pictured!) and then Boardwalk on the Beach and a Bennihanna type restaurant (not as good though.. but funner chefs)
My cutie baby on a plane! Day 0 ( boo for travel days but yea for Travel T Tyedie style!)

Also as soon as we got back we had

1. Swimming Lessons everyday ( YES THEY SWIM!!!!) so awesome
2. Helped with going away party for my brother Thomas. He is going on a two year Mission to Chile. Going to miss him crazy bad!

Summer Time...

Okay ya'll where is summer going?! Its already almost July 4th!! What!?

Well I don't know about you but my summer is flying by and yet I feel like I've accomplished very little. Maybe that is what being a housewife is all about, running around till your crazy, only to realize it starts over tomorrow? Sometimes I know I make my life harder and stress about things that don't matter much. Also, I hope its not just me, but don't you have the fear of being bored?! So then you try to cram as much into each day as you can. For instance here are things that I am currently doing virtually all that the same time: Reading The Short Second Life of Bree Tanner, Watching BostonMED on Hulu, learning how to cook better and loving it. I have a major back log of recipes already waiting for me, thinking about how i haven't printed any of Lucy's pictures out yet ever... but I did buy her scrapbook, oh yeah, taking care of those little people around here who call me mom, wondering why I haven't taken to Claire to the dentist yet ever?! Its that terrible or what? She is almost 5 but we don't have dental insurance so I haven't quite got around to it.... o yea and Jed needs physical he is 30 now.. That is something grown-ups do right? WOW. Thought I would feel better if got this out ....maybe I will later..... for now..... I think I have a long weekend and a Family vacation (with my WHOLE Fearnley family-14 people total, including both my brother significant other ladies in their life) to prepare for.

Okay how about you? Whats on your mind? I know you have something!:)
