Jennifer/Mom - My Mom's Birthday

Today is my mom's birthday. I have never in conscious memory nor do I think I will ever forget my mother's birthday. I have an Aunt who uses the following to remember the date..."Your mother's birthday is Christmas Day in May". There is a host of reasons I won't ever forget her birthday most of them are not all that pleasant so I won't recount them here. Suffice it to say that the quality of my birthday was directly correlated to the quality of my mother's. Besides the multitude of other reasons it is also memorable because of the one-on-one I had with Elder Oaks.

Anyway, I digress...

My relationship with my mother is very convoluted. I don't know that I can even explain it. I guess the best I can do is to say that even though there has been so much pain involved in our relationship, I still have this longing to be able to call her up and share what's going on in my life. At this point I realize though that I don't think it is even possible for me to ever have the relationship I would want with my mom and so that makes this day, my mom's birthday, kind of a sad day for me.

Matt - My simple day

Like every normal day I took my my shower and did my jobs and then got to work on my Geometry. It was a little harder than beginning Algebra, but I did it. When the boys got home, we started doing our jobs. After we did that Dad and Jennifer had to leave to get dinner but we had already had dinner. We had burritos. They were tasty.

While they were gone John-Michael played World of Warcraft and that is when his bird leveled. Then when Dad and Jennifer got back they told John-Michael to read and I got to play World of Warcraft. I got disconnected 3 times, then I finally got to group with someone....a really good group in the Dead Mines but part way through there was going to be another log out so I hearth-stoned home and logged out. Then Ben went on and I went to bed and said goodnight to Ben and Jennifer and Dad. Then I went to sleep and that was my day.

John-Michael - My bird leveled!

I came home from school. My bird in World of Warcraft leveled! And killed a lot of stuff and I completed a quest though I didn't turn it in yet though.

The day before yesterday we went to Casa Bonita.

Ben - The day I turned in my roller coaster project

Yesterday I got up and went to school. After eating breakfast I went to do some P.E. After P.E. we went on to doing some reading and such in class until lunch and recess. After lunch and recess I went on to work for our science project where we turned in our roller coaster and tested it to see if it would work. After that it was time to go home and so I went home. At home I read and cleaned the kitchen. After reading and cleaning the kitchen I played World of Warcraft until it was time for bed.

The End

Kirsten - Burritos for lunch....no....dinner

I don't remember what happened yesterday. The only thing I really remember is that I made burritos for lunch....no....dinner....yeah dinner. That's all.

Jacob - Tomorrow's the Picnic

I was supposed to have a picnic on yesterday. But some people were missing so we have the picnic Friday and tomorrow is Saturday.

Dad - getting my feet wet

A float went bad at the fountain today so the water got low. When the water is low the main geyser loses its venturi effect and blows the water 40-50 feet into the air. It looks really cool but in spite of the automatic controls to lower the pump speed when the wind goes up the smallest breeze blows tons of water out of the pool. So it drains the pool even faster. There are actually 2 floats to keep the water from getting too low. But both had problems.

I got the problems resolved and filled the pool back up with water, but I had to go wading in the pool a few times before I was finished.

We stopped by the fountain this evening to be sure it was still working right. All was well.
