Yes, I feel almost like I am in the movie Polergeist! I have been overtaken by less than angelic spirits and I don't know where to run and hide! The boys have been back a week now. I spent all last week fighting a very long migraine! Spent one night on the floor by the toilet, vomiting my guts up and wishing that I was just a speck of dust! Of course, they behaved wonderfully for Nana and she had very little problems with them. Why are kids always a treat for everyone else and a trick for the parents? Afterall, I gave them life! Although I did just about rescind that blessing a few days ago!
We have busily been trying to get back into a routine. Schoolwork is not all caught up yet, house is back to looking like.........I am already exhausted of all the rest and relaxation that I took in while they were away.
General Conference this weekend was a nice little spark of sweetness in our home, but alas, it is over and the boys have forgotten any sense of charity towards one another. I was able to escape to the Temple this morning with a friend and do sealings. How precious are the moments one can spend in the House of the Lord. If only I could have stayed there! At least I was helping those beyond the veil to have celestial family opportunities!
As I write this, they are playing a game of baseball in the backyard (PE class) and one of them came running into the house with door slamming open and another in chase, yelling and screaming about rules of the game! Uggghh! Where is the little girl who wants to quietly play dolls with me? Calgon! Take me far, far, far away!
In the beginning...
Eric was 14 and Marla was 10 when they met. Their families had cabins in the same community just outside of Lake George, Colorado. Eric liked to fish and ride his dirt bike. Marla liked to hang with her sister, Shalah, and Eric's sister, Kirsten. Being the youngest, Marla often got left behind as Kirsten's 3 wheel ATV could only carry 2 people. Eric's dad felt sorry for Marla and made Eric take Marla wherever the other girls were going. To a 14 year old boy this was not the epitomy of excitement, but he obeyed. For a couple summers, on the weekends, one could find Eric toting Marla around on the back of his dirt bike. Years later, Eric ran into Marla again up at the cabin, and well, she had grown up. After much effort on Eric's part to swoon Marla, he finally had won her heart. A never ending love story commenced.
Who We Are
As a Family, we all enjoy being together and having fun! We are all about FUN! We have 4 dirt bikes and a 4 wheel ATV which we love to take to the mountains and ride. We have an RV that we jump in and roam the country in together. We are NASCAR fans and love to watch and attend races. (Eric and Colton are Jeff Gordon fans, Marla and Daniel are Jimmie Johnson fans, and Joshua and Dylan are Kyle Busch fans) The boys are all into sports. Eric coaches Colton's little league baseball team and manages his own fast ball team. The boys all play baseball except Daniel who is a great gymnast! Marla, well, she drives everyone from place to place and possibly gets a glimps of a practice or game every once in a while. Eric and Marla have recently taken up a new hobby of scuba diving as well. As if all this wasn't enough to keep a family busy, we are very active in The Church of JESUS CHRIST of Latter-day Saints. We all stay busy with the callings and activities that the Church offers us! Our lives are truly blessed with love for each other, love for our Savior, and love for life!
