in the valley

sunday madyn gave the scripture in primary.

i was so proud of her!

she wasnt nervous at all and said it nice and loud for everyone to hear.

after church we got all packed up and me and mads took off for some time in the valley.

in the middle of the night i got super sick and didnt sleep so great.

it was a long night.

monday i got the little kids over to babysit while everyone went off to work.

it was a pretty busy evening... but a good one.

tuesday james had the day off work so he took the kids and watched them

while i headed over to the shop to get some work done.

i had a pretty successful day if i do say so myself.

that night we all spent some time playing games together.

i love those little fibbers!

madyn was having so much fun with all her cousins around.

wednesday i was back babysitting all the kids... and boy were they 

an emotional bunch.

so it was a bit of a long day but by the end they were starting to get along again.

thursday was my last day in the valley and time to get some running around and errands done.

i got some more work at the shop done, but by the end of the night 

i was NOT feeling good at all.

but after a good couple hour rest/ nap i was feeling so much better again.

so that evening me and austy went out for a little date together

to get some icecream. 

friday after we made our rounds to say our goodbyes to everyone.

it was afternoon before we finally made it out of town.
by green river i started not feeling so great again... so we stopped in rock springs
and went over to cafe rio to eat some lunch.
figured that some food and getting out of the car might do some good.
and it did.
it wasnt too long before we were back on the road and finally home.
saturday madyn became attached at eric's hip.
it was a pretty busy day getting stuff done around the house and getting
back into the groove of being home.
we had a great week in the valley but we sure were happy to be back home
with eric as a family :)
