Where does the time go?

I cannot believe I haven't updated my blog in a month....now I a really am a blog teaser!! So much has been going on, not quite sure where to began.

* Our live-in's are still "living in"...their place is now ready but they want to take their time moving. We have had a great time with them this summer. Getting to know them has been awesome. Of course, it was tight at times, but we made it work. It helped that the boys were with GMA for two weeks so we weren't so cramped. But I had my brother, SIL and their fam come for a long weekend and my cousin and her fam come for a different long weekend. It was almost to the point that we had to shower in the open space. :)

* Since the boys were in AZ for two weeks, they came back Mexican brown....just like their mommy! It was incredible how handsome they looked! Of course they look like their HANDSOME daddy, they just get their nice coloring from me.

*Funny thing happened on the way to the airport: JJ had diarrhea...well, he was holding back...so we get to the airport, had to change his unders in the van, (of course the ONLY napkin I had in the van used old and crumbly, but what do you do)
We get into the terminal, go to the bathroom. Wait in LONG line to check in since they are unaccompanied minors, go to the bathroom 2x's. Go to the LONGER security line, beg JJ to try and hold it...he can't....b4 we broad the tram, go to the bathroom. Exit the tram, go to the bathroom. Run to the gate, we have 15 minutes to board, go to the bathroom and go to the airport store and buy 4ozs of pepto for $7.99!!!! Highway robbery! Go to the bathroom....hear us being paged, run to the gate, EVERYONE is in line waiting for us...they cannot board the plane until the UNACCOMPAINED Minors that have checked in...The employees were really nice...the passengers were giving us mean looks. I quick hand Si the Pepto and tell him to give JJ some on the plane. I didn't get a chance to kiss and hug them :( Then, not listening to the Holy Spirit that told me to stick around, leave because I am embarressed. I am to the train when I hear my name, again, being paged to return to the gate...so this 40 something 180lb women is running through the terminal, would have been funny to see! Get to the gate, ALL the passengers are boarded, the stewardess says, "I'm so sorry Mrs. Imes, we cannot distribute any type of medication to a minor. Can you please board the plane and give your youngest son his medication." She was sweet...I get on the plane, everyone is seated looking up at me while I give JJ some Pepto....I held the plane up 2 x's!

*We are busy gearing up for our "Inside Out" paint a thon. The Schnee and are heading that up. Lots of work.

* Our "new" life is going well, both busy and ajusting to new schedules, jobs, etc. God has truly blessed the work of our hands!

*Going to help Amos paint her BEAUTIFUL house in June made me miss the green, that is until we stepped out into the humidity! One night after a long day of painting, Schnee was trying to figure out what was wetter, his do rag around his head or his undies! Gross! Bonus to the painting fun, Nobody came too! It was like a mini reunion! I cannot wait until our bash in Salt Lake in 09...any takers?


Okay...enough babbling for now....God's blessings and love to y'all!
