No, Prescott is not an old boyfriend I am longing for, just a wonderful place I would like to live at someday.
I was up there last weekend and the beginning of this week. The weather was perfect, the scenery gorgeous, and the company (aka family) was kind.
Brandon had a business trip to Las Vegas so I decided to bail on Phoenix while he was gone. Actually I just didn't want to stay home alone. He just got home thankfully all in one piece. And he said the place is nasty... not family friendly. Scratch that off the family vacation list. OK back to Prescott. So went had a picnic (we includes me, two boys, my sister & her daughter) at the downtown plaza and also saw a reenactment of the wild wild west with real guns and cowboys on Whiskey Row, that was fun. The boys and I enjoyed a nice drive through the forest and mountain pines, my sister and I enjoyed a nice 90 min walk through her very hilly neighborhood. (Hilly in this context mean mountainous roads, not to be confused with hilly as in "hill-billy" neighborhood) We hung out watched a chick flick and had a very nice time all-in-all. It's nice to be back home. But hopefully one day we can call Prescott home. Thanks Jeaniece for making it a great week.

Help...someone...please...
It's only 10am and I'm already really ticked off.
I'm irritated by our insurance company and the doctor's office. Brandon's sick and I just need to make an appointment for him but they are all booked up until next week and their fee because of our insurance is $200. $200 for a 15 min visit? Irritating. Not to mention he is like 50 minutes away from us. Does anyone have a good recommendation for a primary care physician on the west side or closer to down town? I really need to find a family doctor closer to our house. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Random Thoughts...
I could spend eight hours laying by the pool and be perfectly happy.
I love having one or both of the boys sleep in my bed with me, I don't think Brandon can say the same.
I sometimes dream of being a beach bum
I've had no desire to work or clean the last 7 days
I love the smell of freshly cut grass
Why is it that the law mower & weed eater break on the same day the grass needs cutting and the notice that the tags are due on the truck comes in the mail... does it look like the money tree is blooming in the backyard?
I love getting tan
I can't believe I'm old/mature enough to have a child in school this year
I sometimes think about quitting blogging
I don't mind living in the heat
I'm glad I'm married
Sometimes the boys say the funniest things
I cherish my boys
The trampoline is totally broken from the sun
I love when Brandon doesn't have to work on a Saturday
I really believe in most situations that "ignorance is bliss"
I'd like a big huge picture of the Temple someday...any Temple for the living room
I should practice the piano more often
I finished reading Doctrine and Covenants today...a goal I've had for a while now
I haven't worn make up all week and it feels great
I've only washed my windows once since we've lived here...yuck, oh well
The internet is running really slow and it's getting annoying
I sometimes think Brandon lives for Wednesday night basketball
I really like my home and feel completely blessed to live in it
I hope to raise many kids here
I'm thankful I don't have stairs
I love eating fruit.
Good night

Back to Reality
So I'm home from girls camp and I have no pictures to prove it...surprise, surprise. I had a great time, glad I went in the calling I was in...assistant camp craft director, glad to not be a cabin mom and I realized I never want to be a Camp Director, talk about some major work. I survived on very little sleep, no morning exercise and unhealthy eating but it was all worth it at about 10pm when the "leaders" cabin would no longer have any responsibility and we would just sit around and laugh and laugh and laugh until my throat hurt. We were labeled as "The wild bunch".
It was great to come home to a clean house and happy kids...thanks to Brandon for all his hard work and to my sister for watching the kids on Friday! Now I must get back to my 31 loads of laundry...at least that is what it feels like.

...one year older and wiser too...
If you know the primary song you'll recognize that line above.
I might be one year older as of today but I can't vouch for one year wiser, unfortunately. So today was a great birthday, it started off great by sleeping in until 9am. Yes people that's 9am! It felt so great. Thanks goes to Brandon for taking care of the hungry munchkins while I drifted away in my peaceful slumber. After waking up I was convinced the two year old made the bowls of cereal, I should have taken a picture of the kitchen...yikes.
The kitchen wasn't the only surprise I awoke to...brace yourselves ladies and let me tell you the miracle that happened today. I wake up to find two professionally wrapped boxes on the counter. Knowing today is my birthday the thought crossed my mind, "I wonder if those are for me" I quickly dismissed the idea thinking it was highly unlikely. You see, I have a wonderful husband, however planning ahead for special celebrations like birthdays, mothers day, anniversary's is not his forte. I figured he'd run out today grab what he could and call it good...although I thought we had an understanding of no presents this year. OK...back to my story, so Carson sees me and says "open your presents mom" after I pick up my jaw from off the floor I opened the beautifully wrapped boxes to find two new church appropriate dresses and they both are the right size! Once I finished breathing into the handy paper bag and calmed myself down I threw my arms around this man and gave him a death grip hug! He, himself went online, picked out a few samples, got a second opinion from my sister, brought them, had them wrapped, wrote a special message on the card and had them shipped so they would be here in time for my birthday!!! I couldn't be happier or more shocked! The lesson learned here ladies...NEVER LOOSE HOPE! You can teach an old dog new tricks. "...He can be taught..." (good line from a good movie). If your husband lacks in the preparation department, don't give up. It's only taken 9.5 years, 9 anniversary's, 9 birthday's 5 mother's days and so forth but this birthday was worth the wait! All my thanks goes to Brandon for his effort and thoughtfulness. You are amazing. And for all the ward members, you will now see me in something more than my one brown dress and two skirts that I always switch off wearing. HOORAY!
OK ...so the rest of my birthday was great and I have lots of pictures to prove it but I will have to wait until later to post them as I must get to bed!
