Life in the Perkins home

I have a few moments and thought I'd update...for Monique and Ann-Marie's sake. You both should feel very lucky:)

We had a great time this past weekend. I left Friday night for Id. and Jake stayed at Sharon's so he could hang out with Jay.

Idaho was very fun, but very, very fast! Ben and Kelsie's home is beautiful. Kelsie has the most amazing ability to create awesome living spaces. They've been in their new home for 4 weeks and the whole place is decorated to the tenth degree. Blows my mind. I have about 4 pictures hung and we've been living here for 2 years. Ha! Oh well. The baptism went so well. Ben had already told me the week before that he was going to be emotional. He was right. He bawled like a cow! It was neat how many families showed up to support Eric. During his conformation Gracie, again in her "quiet" voice says; "Uncle Ben is crying mom!" and my personal favorite..."Mom, I have a wedgie, move your arm so I can get it." Yep, that is a once in a lifetime experience. Oh wait, she said the same thing during sacrament meeting. It never ends with her.

When I got home Saturday night from Idaho, Jake and Jay were in Heber getting ready to fly airplanes. So we went over there with them. Good times.

Sunday morning I'm trying like mad to clean up Sharon's (Jake and I have different standards of clean). So I don't do anything for breakfast. Kinda fend-for-yourself day. So it was an all out cereal morning, not a big deal. Then I'm riding back down to Heber with Jay, Jake had ridden his bike up there, and Jay gets a text from Mike saying Happy birthday. I felt like such a heel. Jake had told me it was Monday. We did nothing for him! And he is 30!! Hopefully Jay doesn't hold grudges. Sorry Jay:(

This week I started a little preschool for Gracie and her friend Julien Thomas. He came over and the two of them learned about tigers, and leafs. We had a really fun time. We are planning on doing preschool two times a week.

Well, Gracie and I are off to Traci Johnson's boutique. I've got to get it organized so I can send out fliers to get some buisness going. Next week will be the breaking moment. We are going down to Monticello to do a big sale. Keep your fingers crossed that it goes well!
