our son and our trip to Idaho

We went to Idaho last weekend hoping to bring our son Brendon back with us but there was a mix up with the tickets cause his case worker didn't listen to me so instead he will finally be coming home on the 26th. We had a really good time while we were up there and got to spend alot of time hanging out with him. We did realize that we were getting old and had a hard time after the second day cause our muscles hurt after all the football throwing and soccer ball kicking and hiking. We really need to get in shape to keep up with all of these kids. Plus in all of the chaos we actually got a little bit of us time in which was so nice. We keep forgetting to spend those little bits of time together lately because we get so busy with all these kids going different ways most days.

Brendon looked very good and was so excited to see us. We are all counting down the days and we call him everyday. And As soon as he gets on the phone it is "I only have .... days until I am home for good." Which of course brings tears to our eyes. It will be so nice to have all of our kidos in one place again. So we now only have 7 days left. Woot!

Going to the zoo, zoo, zoo...........

My mom came over on Thursday and we took the kids to the zoo. We got there about 10 and decided we were gonna spend the day there. That was until Katie matie decided to get onnerry. She wanted to be carried and then it was we needed to ride the train " right Now".
At one point I told Katie"God made legs for walking" to which she responded in a very serious voice " Well God made Mommy's arms for carrying." I was so exhausted at this point that it was making me mad that she was arguing with me but looking back at it she was so right and It was halarious the things she came up with once she got tired. The kids all enjoyed going to the Zoo. Hopefully I can get them out more this summer.
