the awakening

My mom is going to a seminar called the awakening I think it will be good for all of us and I went to the guest event just the other day. but something I thought was extremely funny is last night when my mom got home she told us all about how there were different personality types there was like: drama queen, know it all, etc. my mom was telling us all about herself and what personality type the instructor thought she was. After hearing my moms story my sister eagerly exclaims, "WHAT PERSONALITY TYPE AM I!!!???" my mom says "you are a drama queen dear" my sister instantaneously bursts into tears and starts screaming, "NOT A DRAMA QUEEN" repetitiously until my mom is able to explain to her that drama just means acting and that she is a queen! which is royalty! (we'll even stoop as low as lying to get that girl to keep her mouth shut!

my mom's cruise!

my mom finally got back from her cruise and she said it was great! she got to swim with the dolphins and everything, but, unfortunately, brad pitt couldn't come. his stupid wife had to go have a baby! dang woman! can't she control when her water breaks?? but she said she had lots and lots of fun. she brought wonderful gifts: a snowglobe for each of us. pure white purring (electronic) cats and sayings to hang in our rooms. we love having her home again!

Idaho

sorry, I haven't blogged for a while because I have been in Idaho have too much fun to worry about internet.!.! We'd go somewhere fun almost every morning. (I'll have pictures soon) on monday we went to the petting zoo and we had lunch in the park with aunt julees friend Laura. both my siblings as well as Ayden adored the animals and there was one point when we went "behind bars" in a fake jail cell and Ayden burst out into tears to see his mom again. he was fairly destrought about not being able to reach his mom. the next day we went to outer limits fun zone a jungle gym place with an arcade and pizza. both Jared and Analisa had a lot of fun but I'm not sure how Ayden took it. I can tell you this much,"he thoroughly enjoyed finding cupboards and things he shouldn't play with that he loved getting into" I'm pretty sure that was the highlight of his day and we went with laura and lisa (both Julee's friends from her ward) the next day it wasn't very nice out but we went to a barbecue at aunt julees neighbors and everyone was really nice. there was one point where zeb was pushing Aydenon the swings from the front and I was behind Ayden and Zeb walked away as Ayden burst into tears and wasn't willing to allow his father a life for the next few hours. We went to the Lava hot springs (too bad the outside pool was closed due to bad weather) but it was still way fun. then sunday arrived and we went to church then the next day then we went to the zoo and even thogh we had been seeing squirrels all week at Julee's house Jareds highlight of the zoo was seeing a squirrel run up a tree. but there were a lot of cool animals there was a peacock that was showing off his feathers and there were buffalo, eagles, deer, goats that you could pet, and a lot of other way cool animals ei; foxes, wolves, wild cats, then my mom came later that day!
