WOW! I feel like we have been running a hundred miles an hour these past couple of days. Friday night after the primary program practice we went scouting for wood in the snow! On Saturday Chris, Chantelle, and Vic came up to help Kyle get more wood (he has a week left to get it). Me and Chantelle went to the relief society super saturday and made crafts. I underestimated how long it would take me and we were there all day. They even had enough that Chantelle was able to make one. I have some Christmas done! The girls stayed down at the barn with my parents, because that night we were celebrating George's 20th Birthday! He came home from Utah state on the perfect weekend. We had fun playing some games and hanging out. Then on Sunday all the Baldwins came up and we celebrated Mahon's 25th Birthday before church with a yummy lunch and cake! Top that off with the primary program that went very well. The girls sang so good and spoke very clearly during their speaking parts. This was Kaitlyn's first program and I was worried she wouldn't say a thing. They both did awesome and thanks to all those who made the trip up to see them. Then Monday happened...

We FINALLY hooked the boat up to take back to Island Park. Poor Kaitlyn was so disappointed to find out we were not going boating! It was very foggy when we left and when we got to the cabin it was raining, this made fun slush. Thank goodness the girls were so well behaved! What should have taken us a half hour took more like two hours. Because of the slush the truck kept going off the side of the road and the boat would not go up the little embankment of the driveway. The truck was fishtailing everywhere and the boat wouldn't move, at one point I thought not only is the boat stuck where it is, but can we get out! Kyle finally drove around and hooked the boat up from behind with a chain and pulled it backwards (I should have had a pic of that). Thankfully, this did the trick, we were able to hook back up to the boat, but then because of the slush he still couldn't get it to back up where he wanted it! When we finally got it in the garage we had about half an inch to spare on one side. I think next year we should take it up in October! What a trip! The snow was so wet that by the time we got home I was soaked through. Then, our night keeps going, we ate dinner and stacked the girls' bunk beds! We still need to finish painting them white, maybe next summer. We got them stacked and Kyle built the ladder and rails. Then pulled the crib down and moved Kami in! Yes, she is almost seven months old and the crib finally came out, and out of our room she went! She slept all night in there and it was wonderful! You would have thought it was Christmas around here the way the girls were reacting. They LOVE the bunk beds! We still have a huge mess in the room, which we will tackle today, fun. So, back to our routine, I think! And somewhere this weekend I made; cinnamon rolls, bread, cake , and dinner rolls- from scratch. And we were in bed just after midnight!
