Adventures of life

Over the last month crazy things have happened!  I took a spontaneous trip to AZ with 3 kids all by myself.  It was crazy!  I got to talk to my Grandma and Grandpa Pearce and spend some time with my brother before he left on his mission to Des Moines Iowa.  Stephen will be a wonderful missionary and he is super prepared for whatever lies ahead.  My sister Jamie also had her baby and I had a ton of fun hanging out and holding her sweet little Emmett.  Elsie thought holding him was pretty great. 

My sister Natalie will be moving sometime the end of this year I believe so it was also fun to let my girls play with Claire and Talie.  They are best friends and love spending time together.  It would be fun to live close but things don't usually go the way you plan I'm finding out.  I also got to see my sister Andrea and her kids.  Then we saw Jason and Kenzie and got to go to dinner with them.  It was great catching up.  My sisters step son had a birthday party while we were there so we had fun going to that.  Tristan is such a fun kid and my kids love playing with him.  I was able to stay with my in-laws while in Mesa and it was fun seeing Cassie and Jordon and spending time with Holli and Dave.  The girls just love there Grandparents on both sides.  All in all it was a great trip.  Long and tiring but I made it!  Kind of proud of myself! 

Then I get home to find out the few weevils I had found previous had taken over my pantry, I had worms in our cereal boxes, and my kitchen is half torn apart trying to fix the dry wall that's just been a big hole for like 2 1/2 years.  So I pretty much don't have a kitchen cause my kitchen became my pantry and I've bought all kinds of container to put cereal, crackers, rice, flour and whatever else that needed a plastic container where bugs couldn't get in.  It's been a crazy week.  I've been cleaning shelves and wiping every food item off to make sure it doesn't have a weevil.  Hopefully we've got it all under control and won't ever have this problem again.  Bugs are NO joke!  We have pets control come to our house and we still get spiders but not near as many as we would other wise.  I thought that we were doing pretty well at keeping things cleaned but I guess I was wrong.  So if you need me for the next week I'll be cleaning every shelf in my kitchen and re organizing my life to get rid of these nasty bugs.
