SADNESS
Today is a sad day in our home, we just found out last night that our nephew whom Brett's brother and wife were trying to adopt, and has been in their home for the last 6 months since birth, will be taken away on Sunday by the Indian tribe, and a very evil drug addicted birth mom, who will not be getting the baby, but someone else on the reservation, if you want to follow his story you can link to it by clicking on Clint and Heather in my friends and family list on the right. My children are very sad as so are we, I cant believe that they could do this to people and get away with it, we will really miss him he is so cute and sweet. Please pray for them in this difficult time they have tried for so long to have a baby without any luck and now to have something you have wanted for five years just ripped out of your arms, the need some prayers right now.
Twilight
well all I can say is that I was not dissapointed I trully liked the movie, even though there were diffrences between the movie and book I thought it was done really well, and can I just say that Edward is a hottie, he played the part really well, we had so much fun last night and are even planning on going to a matinee next week sometime when the kids are all at school, I hope if you haven't seen the movie , this dosen't spoil it for you. I have to tell you a funny story that happened last night, we ate dinner at the Training table and when we were walking out some lady's around my age were walking out at the same time, they all had on twilight t-shirts that said team Edward, except one that had on a team Jacob shirt on anyway we asked them if the had seen the movie yet and they said that they were going to the same one we were, well we had time in between dinner and the movie so we thought that we would go to Target,we were at the Districtanyway we saw them there again and said hello, well sure enough they sat right next to us in the movie, we all had a good laugh and thought what were the odds come to find out they had purchased there tickets the very same day we did, anyway part of the story was that my older sister had said kinda loudly as we walked out of trainig table , look she has a team jacob shirt on, and they heard her and they said we know we were thinking the same thing, but I know there are a lot of people out there that just love Jacob, even though I am a huge Edward fan, I wish we had a camera , we all forgot but I will remember that night for a long time
Twilight
Tonight is the night that I have been waiting for for months, Twilight, our movie is the 10:40 movie tonight and I cant wait, I will post tomorrow about the movie , I just hope I am not dissapointed
LIFE AT THE LARSON HOUSE
O.K. its been a while since I posted, I have halloween pictures but they are on my daughters camera since mine is a pice of hud and wont take pictures anyway we cant seem to find her cord for the computer, and I have yet to go to the store to put them on a disk anyway when that happens I will post them, not much has been going on ,we finished A'S room in the Basement now we are on to H'S room then all of the kids will be downstairs yeah. We hope to have H's room done by the end of november it will be a slow process to get the rest of the basement done even though it is all sheetrocked, I'm so glad that I have a husband who know's how to do this kinda work, saves a ton of money.that has been what we have been up to lately, flag football is over, now we wait until Jr Jazz basketball starts, Brett and his bro Clint are going to coach the boys team this year
ST. GEORGE TRIP
Well I am back we had a blast,when we got there we were going to go and get a pedicure but they were to full and asked if we could come back on Friday, so we decided to do that and headed on down to Mesquite, we were a little early for the next session of bingo, so me and my sister Kim went to see if the craps table was full, and there were some people already playing so we decided to sit at the quarter wheel of fortune slots, so we both stuck in a twenty dollar bill, and started playing, well Kim hit the wheel and she got to spin so I watched as she spun and she only got 25 credits , well I spun one more time and hit time five, times five, and a seven and won something like 3666 credits it equalled out to be $760, I was in shocked never in all the years going to Vegas with Brett, have I ever won that much, well I cashed out and Kim cashed out and decided to put her card in my machine, well she spun and hit $120, luck was with us so we went in to play bingo and we didn't win anything that session, so we went out and my mom and my sister Keri played the penny slots, and lost ten dollars, so we figured our luck was running out, well on the next session of bingo, my sister Kim won $150, so our luck was back, we left there and ate at Katherine's its a very nice steak house in mesquite $27 filet's anyway it was delicious, we headed back to my mom's in ST. George, with grins on our faces from the money won and the great food.
Shopping was terrific let's just say you could not see out the back of my sisters Honda pilot on the way home, that's how much fun we had shopping, I wish that I had pictures my camera is on the brink and the LCD screen will not work so the picture just ends up black, so just picture a Honda pilot and you cant see out the back.
Pedicures were fun and relaxing, I want one of those massage chairs they have. My Mom and Kari have never had one so that was their first experience with pedicures, my mom also said she has never painted her toenails before and quite likes them painted,
We watched three great movies in the luxury of my mom's house with no screaming children to interrupt us, we watched Baby Momma, What happens in Vegas and Maid of Honor, they were all funny, and cute. so if you haven't seen them I would recommend you rent them and watch them.
That was my trip it was a lot of fun I had a blast, and can't wait till next year to do it all over again, I don't think my husband is ready for another year, but he will get over it. I will post some pictures of Hunters football game today, I don't have any of St. George,cause of my stupid camera
Saturday Football
Hunter had his first flag football game on Saturday and even thought they don't keep score they won, he palyed really well, he pullled two flags and he got to run the ball one time, it was really fun watching these first and second graders playing football, I cant wait until he can play tackle, that wont be until he is eight, I forgot the camera of course, but will try and remember to bring it on Wednesday night for his game. Brett also started rec football, so our lives will be spent between two football fields and running the girls to dance.
Well I leave for Saint George on Thursday and I am counting down the days, I can't wait for pedicures, shopping, eating out, late night movies, good laughs and just hanging out with my Mom and sisters, My sisters and I have decided that we need to do this twice a year instead of just once, but that will take convincing our husband that we need to do this, we will have to see if they go for it, I will post some pictures of the trip when I get back home since my Mom has yet to purchase a computer.

Well I am no longer a hunting widow, Brett is back form his week long bow hunt out by Roosevelt, he shot at a four point bull elk but missed , and he shot a four point deer but he could not find it, good thing since our freezer is still full of meat deer meat from last year, his turkey he shot this year, and halibut and salmon from his last trip to Alaska.
I am counting down the days until my getaway to my moms in Saint George, two weeks from Thursday, Yeah no kids, shopping , shopping and more shopping, pedicures and BINGO in mesquite, I will have to post the before and after pictures of the trunk from all the shopping in that past we have loaded my sisters ykon xls to the brim, this year we will have my sister Keri's honda pilot, so we might not have as much but it will be fun to see what we can get in it.
Not much going on with the kids, Makena and Ashlee start dance this week Makena has dance on mondays and Ash has dance on tuesdays, we are still waiting to here when Hunter starts falg football but it should be soon, he will play on a weeknight and on Saturday's, The highlight of last week was when Makena's school caught fire and she missed 7th period, the parking lot was a mad house beacause no one could park up by the school and everyone had to park in the back of the parking lot, I guess they were working on the roof and some how it caught on fire, they got it out with not alot of damage and she had to go back the next day, I think she was a little bummed
Well I just have to post this and I know it will embarass Makena but It gave me a good laugh. Today when I picked her and her friend up after school I asked Makena what she had done in school today, her reply was we had a school dance today, my reply did you dance with any boys, her reply, was first no then she said well one boy asked me he was an 8th grader and a student body officer, my reply was what did you say, hers was I told him no beacuse I needed to find my friends, I started to giggle, and she said mom he was tall and I did not want to dance with a tall boy, my reply back was Makena you are a Larson you need some height in your life, but in my mind I am glad that she is as shy as she is.
I have posted links to some of my freinds and family, one of which is Jackson Hardy, he is the new son of my cousin, he was born with a congenital heart defect called HLHS which affected his left side of his heart, he has undergone his first open heart sugery and will have to have two more buy the time he is three, if you would like to see his story click on his name on the side
My freinds keep telling me to start my own blog, so I thought I would try it out. What have the Larson's been up to this summer, well camping, camping and more camping, we started out the summer with the annual trip to Flaming Gorge, well let's just say a few weeks later then the annual memorial weekend because of the weather, then it was time for Young Womens Girl camp, for me and Makena, since I am the Camp director, and have been now for 2 years. A week later we were at Bear Lake, the kids had a blast. Then 2 weeks after that we were at Lake POWEL, I dont consider staying in a houseboat camping, but you do need to pack and upack. Then it was on to the opening weekend of the Bow Hunt, luckily Brett has yet to shoot anything
this year but there is still one more week for him, he leaves next saturday for a week, so I will keep my fingers crossed that he dosen't see anything. that was our summer, now the kids are back in school Makena is in seventh grade, Ashlee started 4th, and Hunter started 1st, yeah I have no kids during the day, except on monday and tuesday when I watch my sister Kim's youngest two girls while she is at work. here are some pictures of the kids on their firast day of school, I did not get one of Makena, she was to excited about school and left before I could even think about getting the camera out. but here is one of her a few weeks before posing for a snap shot to send to the Jonas Brothers, yes she is a die hard fan. Not only am I the camp director but I am also the assistent young women's sports director for our stake and vollyball season starts next Thursday, so I will be reffing for the next few months every thursday, then I will have a small break and basketball starts, Hunter just signed up for Flag football , since he is not quite old enough for tackle, and the girls start dance in two weeks so our life get's quite busy, when all these things start.
