How was my week?

This week was so crazy and so stressful! I had a final to take almost every day! The only day I didn't have one was on Friday. This was my pile of books from the library.

I also spent most of the week doing white glove checks for the dorms. Today we finished checking out all of the girls from their rooms and did our final walk through. I collected most of the cleaning supplies they left, I got an ironing board, and iron, and a duster! All of it for FREE!!!

But I am SO glad it's over! I am sooo tired! So is Tyler. He started working at D.I. this week, full time. He is doing physical work all day long. Moving furniture and stuff. He comes home exhausted! :) But we are so blessed to have gotten this job. I will be starting up with D.I. soon too! So we will both be working full time. Yay! :D

4th of July Weekend...Finally posted haha

We went home for the weekend. The family had planned a picnic for the celebration of my mother-in-law's birthday. Sooo I made a pie! I wish I would have taken a picture of it sliced. It had red, white and blue stripes of jello and whipped cream. It was really really good! We left at 5am or so to get there soon enough to prepare for the picnic. 

The newest babies! Emma and Riley

The picnic was a blast. It is was like a family reunion! haha! Lots of food and family and friends.

Kierra was super excited to see Tyler! High five! :)

There was a fun fountain for the kids to play in too!...okay, we played in it too. ;)

We had a family barbecue and Tyler's sister, Brittany, and I worked really hard on these cake ball pops. We had such a hard time keeping the chocolate the right consistency. But they tasted great....oh! and btw, we stuck them in the foam we used from my mother-in-law's fake plant haha!

Then on 4th of July morning we went to a ward breakfast! It was really good! I loved it! There were lots of people that came.

After we all took our showers and were ready, we went to the Middleton parade. We had lots of fun there. The kids loved getting the candy of course. Tyler got to go to the "wet zone" where the firefighters take their hose and spray everybody. After the parade, we went and got free snow cones. I think I ended up having, like, 3! Ha! I love snow cones!

 Then in the evening we went to the Melba fireworks show. I was able to briefly see my family, and then the show started. The fireworks were so beautiful. I loved getting to spend it with my hubby. :) The traffic was awful getting out of there though. It took us about an hour and a half to get out of little old Melba. 

This one's my favorite firework picture. :)

It was a super fun trip. It was the first time I got to meet Tyler's older sister, Brittany and her husband and kids. We had lots of fun bonding and I loooved getting to spend time with their kids!! :D
