Mashed Potato Thursday

I thought since it's been a while since I blogged I might as well let ya'll know what we've been up to. Well, not much. Last weekend Gilbert had planned to take the kids to Boise and give me some time to study (and play.) Unfortunately Paris and Logan came down with a stomach bug and were throwing up on friday so their plans were cancelled. I still managed to sneak away to Scrapbook Expo with my friend Margie. We had a fun time AND got to eat Cafe Rio. YUM! Saturday the kids seemed okay and Gilbert felt bad that he ruined my weekend (it wasn't his fault the kids got sick!) and insisted that I go play with my BFF Jeanne. He's the best! We went to SLC to this barn sale where I picked up the steal of a century: a beautiful full size 4-poster bed painted creamy yellow that matched Paris' room perfectly- for only $75. I even called Gilbert to ask permission. I told you he's the best. While we were gone he took the kids, now feeling much better, fishing at Utah lake. It was a nice weekend.
Sunday after church we took a family day trip to Strawberry Resevoir to watch the Kokone (sp?) salmon swim up river to spawn. It's amazing! there's a "milking" station there where the fish are guided into by way of an electric fence. The kids loved it, the weather was perfect, I took a million pictures. (I'll get them on soon) It was great.
Paris has been living up to her reputation this week. She coerced her friend Chantel into smearing shampoo all over themselves. Uuuugh! What am I going to do with this girl!? Later that night she took a brand new box of cheerios and dumped them on the trampoline. Yes Melanie, I know, I did want her. ;o)
Gilbert is hoping to make the trip to Boise tomorrow since the kids will be out of school. WooHoo! We'll see if it happens. the whole shop deal is still up in the air. Can we just be done with this already!?

I think that's it. Any more and you'll probably fall asleep. I'm excited today....GREY'S ANATOMY 2-hour Season Premier! (I love my smut TV)

I just want you to know that my daughter gave up some of her "smut TV" time to talk to her father on the phone! (She did mention that she could pick it up online tomorrow, however!)
Anyway, as usual, I am looking forward to the salmon photos...coming soon to a Blog near you...
