Things going on...

Cole, Jase and I want motorcycle riding the other day. The kids were still out of school, and Cole has been begging me for a couple weeks to take them. We had a good time, though it wasn't long enough.

Then the three of us went to the lake with the Craigs and went wakeboarding. Of cours, I took the pictures, so there is not one of me. But I did wakeboard too.

School is back in session this week, which is a good thing. We get so tired during breaks because the kids nover go to bed! Nice to have them going to bed on time again. Robin and I actually have some time at the end of the day to watch tv and talk.

Hope all is well for everyone, have a good week.

Two postst today-please read on

Cole teaching Clay the proper place for a boy, and the things to know how to fix a motorcycle!

Making brownies in the kitchen. You can see everyone's part in the system!

And Jase is in his normal position!!!

Fun in the Family Room

Some shots of the Geeks!





Just having some fun! This is one of those times 6 kids is a good number!!!





Can someone tell me how to get the pictures side by side instead of one on top of the other. I just shoot from the hip on this stuff.

So an update on the diet...I did it for 8 days. I was supposed to do it for 10 but couldn't take it anymore. I craved the taste of something other than lemonaid! Funny thing is I really was never hungry from not eating since the lemonaid fills you up, but my sense of smell was increased and I could smell all kinds of great smells and they were always from food. So I got back to food. For the first day however, my food was orange juice instead of lemonaid. On the second day, dinner was soup broth, soup from scratch, which was all vegies no meat. Third day was back to food and I had a burrito which gave me heart burn. Anyway, I'm back to all food now, but I don't drink soda anymore and I'm trying to cut out the fast food. Good experience!

So two more days off and the kids will be back in school. Sometimes these breaks are too long. It messes up our getting up time and going to bed time.

All are invited to our yearly Halloween party at our house. Also, we are staying here for Thanksgiving again this year, and extend an invite to any family in California that would like to come out and stay with us. This is unoficial, but it's extended to everyone. Amy and Ken are going to Utah, and I'm not sure what Jillian and Todd are doing. We heard some talk that some people would like to come out, so we are inviting.

Have a good week all!

OK, just want to clear this up. I, Sean, wrote the last entry. I am the one being cleansed! (I am so craving food.) Robin is thinking about it. I am now down about 10 pounds, but I think I'm done. 7 days of no food so far, and tomorrow I really can't eat anything except soup broth. It was worth it though, I feel much better, lighter and healthier.

Fall break to California

Well, the kids have 2 weeks off for fall break, so we went to California. Mainly to take the van to my Mom and Dad. They took our 4 oldest and a cousin to Utah to go to conference. On the way they went to several temples and did baptisms at each one they visited. Thanks Mom and Dad, awesome trip! So Robin, Delaney and Clay stayed in Brea and visited family and friends and went to Sea World. Me...what did I do...oh yeah, I drove out with them and stayed a couple days and flew home. Someone has to work so they can play! Can I tell you, I was bored to death. While being bored, I decided to take Uncle Jimmy's challenge to do the Master Cleanse and cleanse my body. I have gone 6 days with no food, except for a special lemonade and herbal tea. The tea is called "Smooth Move", I will let you figure out what it's for. So, I have lost about 8 pounds, my sense of smell is much more sensitive, and I crave food. Strangely I am not really hungry, just crave tastes. Oh well, I'm trying to do it for 10 days. Jimmy just finished and did it for 18 days. Crazy.

Everyone add Delaney's new blog to your list. She is very excited and would love comments.

How's that for bloggin in a timely manner. These were all taken on Sunday. We had Grandma and Grandpa for the weekend. Bun times. They went to all the soccer games and church with us. Then we had the Starks and Jillian over for dinner. We celebrated Berkley's birthday together. Robin got home safely last night. We comunicate so well after 20 years of marriage. She told me 8:55, so we were at the airport at 8:55. Well, she meant 8:55 was when her plane took off! So we sat around and waited.....OK, see you all later, please send me comments, then I know someone is looking.

Dude!

I'm sorry I'm not bloggin enough for you guys. Robin never adds anything, and my kids have their own, so they won't do it, and someone has to work around here so everyone else can play!!!

By the way, how did you know we posted so fast? I'm blog chalenged you know!

OK, so Robin is on her way this afternoon to Catalina Island to meet all her BYU friends. It's a new annual thing. They are staying at the Haars house over there. Oh, and she just got back from Detroit. She went to a convention there, and had a great time.

Jase is on the dive team, yes he wears a Spedo. He is pretty good, not great yet, but improving. He keeps placing in the middle of the guys that are competing. Having fun driving and girls.

Rilee is on the swim team, swims a few different events, has fun doing it, not the fastest, but she's only a Freshman. She has a couple guys that like her. It's fun to watch her try and avoid all that.

Ansley is a cheerleader for the Jr. High. She loves it, and she's the smallest so she gets to be lifted.

Cole is the VP of his school. I'm not sure what that means, and I don't think he knows either, but it gives him a title.

Delaney is growing like a weed, has lots of friends, and won't sleep in her own bed. Everynight the girls have a slumber party in the other room.

Clay is growing and saying a few words, thinks he's pretty cool. Of course we all support that notion. He gets to go with Robin and stay with Aunt Trish this weekend.

All the kids just started soccer again, looking forward to the 5 games each Saturday!

Me, I'm just working, trying once again to figure out what I'm supposed to be doing in life. If you have any suggestions, please pass them along.
