Food Storage
As you can see by the badge on my sidebar, I was working on a crazy food storage challenge. You can read more about the challenge in our Mormon Times article (yes we were featured in the newspaper ... SWEET!) It took a lot of energy to plan and prepare, and even more energy to actually live through the challenge. It definitely taught me a lot about what I am still lacking in terms of preparedness ... and inspired me to volunteer to lead a food storage relief society group in my ward. Eek. I'll let you know how THAT goes. We are also going to be featured on the Studio 5 tv show next week so we have had a lot to do getting ready for that! AND we re-did our network site entirely. Wow. Busy.
Hockey
Hockey season is upon me. That is always crazy business ... read BUSY-NESS. I run the Provo Blades women's hockey team and this year we have close to 30 girls signed up, running a B and a C team, website revamped, lost our coach from last year, and the list goes on. The beginning of the year is always tough getting things organized and games lined up. It's almost to the fun part now. Yay. I've also been continuing my role as the BYU Hockey Webmaster. JOY! I revamped the website in hopes that it would be easier for a new person to take over ... but alas no new people have jumped at the chance.
Preschool
Mikey has started going to preschool over at the elementary school by our house. He goes 4 days a week for 3 hours and he is just absolutely in his element there. I volunteered to co-op in the classroom for 14 days of the year, which means I get to swap babysitting with other mom's in the preschool for their co-op days as well. These leads to a lot of busy days either in school or with extra kids. But it's a lot of fun! I felt sad for Lexi because she REALLY wanted to do preschool too. So I am participating in a little home-based preschool with some of the other ladies in my ward. We do this twice a week and rotate houses. Again, very fun, but definitely makes life busier. If you want to see some pics from Mikey's first day at school you can check out my Facebook Photo Album. Both kids were so freaking cute.
BUSINESS
Ok this part truly is business but it's also BUSY-NESS. I spent most of the summer working for my dad helping with web and marketing work for his company Soleil LifeSciences. The last month included some heavy duty hours working on a new site for their Cold & Flu product at http://Sun-Dew.com I'm proud of the site and their product is amazing by the way. So you should go buy some. Right now.
Aside from all of that, our van is still broken after our Canada fiasco, and we recently discovered a leak in our icemaker that is causing some drama in our freezer. But we are all healthy and relatively happy and Lexi is FINALLY potty-trained (hallelujah!) so things could be worse :)
Hopefully I can give you some funny updates on the kids soon. They are so hilarious lately. But for now I'm on to some more busy-ness. Julie is making me declutter our blog ....
