Since Thursday afternoon, I have been a single parent... definately not something I enjoy! Brian left on Thursday at 2:00 with the Young Men & Young Women in our ward for Youth Conference... they will be back tonight around 6:00, and I CAN'T wait!! I've been cleaning all day to keep myself busy, and the time go by faster. Let's face it.. I am a damsel in distress.... :) My sister Brianna is the sweetest ever, and came and stayed with me Thursday & Friday night because I'm such a baby, and hate staying alone... I know I know, someday I'll grow up... ;) My mom and other sisters came over on Thursday night and we made cards, & my dad came over to to watch "Office" episodes, but quickly decided that since he was the only man... he was leaving. Then, on Friday night my parent's ward reserved the pool here for a ward activity and they wanted us to come. Grandpa didn't know that he would be going down the slide 10 times with Jackson. The kids LOVED the slide, & of course the adults did too! After the pool party and barbeque we came home and my parents 4 sisters & 1 brother in law (the kids favorite uncle) came over & we had root beer floats & icecream & watched "The spiderwick Chronicles" I thought it was bizarre, but if you like movies where trolls are fighting, then you would love it, the kids some how decided to come downstairs at 10:00 and watch with us... I was too lazy & tired to take them back to bed and fight with them, so I let them watch. Morgan wasn't scared at all...meanwhile I was hiding under the blanket (ha ha ha :) just kidding) Anyway, the kids slept in bed with me (once again their choice) and fell asleep at 11:30..and they even slept in until 7:45 with Jackson waking up a tad bit ornery!
We have had a nice time, and over all the kids have been really good, so I might be able to handle this again in a couple of weeks when Brian goes to scout camp ugh... but I am SOOO excited for Brian to get home!!!!!! I am so grateful for all of my families help this weekend, especially helping get the kids in the truck, swimming, helping me not feel too lonely, and just giving me a little break. I love you all!Hallie didn't swim because I was already nervous about taking the other 2 swimming, plus with all that yucky bacteria stuff, I definatley didn't want her swimming... but don't you just LOVE the swimming suit! My friend Darci gave it to me when Morgan was born & I love it! I love the rolls too!
Here is Steven with Morgan on the slide. The kids had so much fun!
Here's me and Jackson going down the slide. He was so excited and they can't wait to take Daddy here.
All of us in the truck, with my dad peeking in the window :)

I hate, hate, hate when Lance goes on business trips!! The 2 week ones are the worst. I actually throw big tantrums.: ) Haha ok maybe I shouldn't admit that here. But I'm with you. It's lonely without your hubby,and a little bit harder with 3 little munchkins,but I also know that YOU are Superwoman!! And I love Hallie's rolls! Too cute!
hallie looks so adorable in her suit! the kiddos are so cute and happy, good job.
Hallie looks soooo cute! Your kids look like they had a ball!! Our kids keep asking to go but we have yet to make it to the pool and slide!! I love the expressions on their faces! What fun!

Oh my goodness, I LOVE how Hallie's little bosoms are spilling out of the side of the swimsuit! That is so cute. And the hairy arms sticking out of the water holding Morgan up....that is so funny to know she is up out of the water laughing, and the poor guy is under the water!
I'm teary eyed seeing pictures of you guys Melissa. I'm getting so excited to see you all in a couple of days. And better yet, meet my new little niece. Love you and miss you!
wahooo I love swimming, these pics are so cute, makes me want to go jump in the pool right now with Ry~
I don't know how mom's do it when their husbands go on business trips. I guess you get used to doing what you have to do though. Looks like you did just fine and had a lot of fun in the process! Hallie is adorable in that suit!
