Uncle A.J's

Last night we decided to take the long drive down to Santaquin and see my brother A.J. The girls had so much fun with the cows, horses and dirt. My Aunt Liza and Uncle Max have 7 calves. Kate and Meg were both a little nervous with the new baby cows at first. They were only about 5 days old and as Kate would put it "all wobbly". After about a hour or so Meg would walk over and bang on the cows pens to let her in.





After both the girls and myself rode the pony we went to dinner with my dad and AJ. Then we decided to go back to AJ and have a bonfire. It made me nervous with Meg especially after she had 5 marshmallows a package of graham crackers and Hersey bars and about a can of pop she was a little tipsy. and not the mention filthy. I am getting better about letting her get dirty, but it still drives me crazy because she loves to be so dirty.



She was piling the dirt on her lap...and notice the face.

Kate was so good on the horse in the video Aj was holding the rope, but after a while she was riding it with no one holding the horse. She was so proud of herself.



We put this hat on Meg and all she wanted was the hat off.

They're gone!!!!

On July 1st I had my tonsils taken out. It has been a very painful 11 days, but hopefully I wont get sick anymore. Rod has been such a trooper stepping up and taken over all rolls in the house. I spent two days while Rod was working at my aunt Cathy's house. Thank you so much Cathy....my girls had so much fun. I am starting to feel better, but eating hurts so bad. Anyways we are moving along at our house. Thanks to everyone who has helped me and my family.

Every mom should have one in her home.....

Mr. Clean magic eraser.....I have always known how great they are but having Meg around I have really found out great they are. They get everything off of everything. She decided today to use my kitchen table as a coloring book with a black pen. I am not sure how they work, but I love them and just wanted to share. I was going to post a picture, but I don't know how to post non-photos.

Happy Father's Day! We Love you Rod!
We struggled with bright sun.


This is Kates new favorite thing. She doesn't understand why she can't wear it every night and it has to be washed.
The curlers didn't work she just had weird curls in the roller spots...but I did end up round brushing it and it looked so cute.

Congrats Poulsen Cycle Team

Rod, Paul and Nick completed 70 miles and Denae and Dara rode 25 miles for the Tour de Cure. Our team raised over $1000. Thanks to everyone who helped out with this ride.







Look at all those SEXY legs!

Are you kidding me?

On Wed I was diagnosed with another tonsil abscess. Only this time is was on the other side. We were able to catch it early so I just have a home IV, at least I am not in the hospital. I have an appt. with the doctor on Monday and hopefully next week I will have my tonsil taken out. I am not looking forward to that because I have heard it is awful for adults, but I can't keep getting sick like this.

Kate says...

Last night while driving to St. George we stopped to get dinner and I was talking with Kate and said "Kate, you are getting too old. " She replied with "Mom, I don't want to get big. I want to stay just like this." It is fun having them grow, but they are growing too fast.
