Today was Zack's first day of school. He went with no problems and came home excited to tell me everything they did and what he learned. Tonight, Kendra FINALLY (after about 2 months of wiggling) lost her bottom tooth. The new one is growing back behind her row of teeth. She's going to need some major orthodontic work in the future!

Chloe was over at our house playing when it was time to go to our last summer movie so we asked her mom if she could come along. We saw the Crood's and these two little friends had a blast together! Jenni and her kids also met us there then we had lunch together at Jenni's house.

I spent the day at my parent's house while they got new carpet installed. It was crazy with furniture and things all over. It will be so nice when it's all done though.

Nope, no image coming. Today was one of the worst days I can remember so no image for today. In fact, I'd like to just block it out of my memory and not go back to it. Like ever. Simon didn't get the Herriman branch. It took us 3+ hours in the dark to reach our ward camp out that should have taken around 1.5 hours. The end.

The ward camp out was fun (once we found it). It was at Vernon Reservoir and the kids had all sorts of fun playing in the dirt and sand, running around, and kayaking or canoeing in the reservoir. I am glad we went! Tonight, mom had all of the boys over for their annual camp out in the backyard. Zacky is actually in this picture, he's just right behind the flame. :) So fun!

As if the events of this past week weren't enough to completely deflate me, a call from my mom this afternoon did me in. Kenny has relapsed. Bad. He's been kicked out of the house and will probably go back to jail soon. I don't nor will I ever understand the hold drugs have on a person. I can't believe he's throwing his entire life away for a stupid high. Apparently, he just doesn't have what it takes right now to come out clean on the other side. I hope he survives long enough to overcome this but for now, I feel like I'm mourning the loss of my only brother. I won't give up but for now, I give in.
This doesn't sound like it was your best week ever. :( I may be feeling a gratitude post coming on in the near future for the reason the Herriman Branch didn't work out. I agree with your thoughts on Kenny. This is the longest, saddest, most unpredictable thing we've ever been thru as a family. I don't love roller coasters anyway and this ride has just about done me in. I'm truly working on trying to distance my thoughts and worry from him. We can't change it, so I feel like, to a point, I have to just let it go. It's not easy though. :(
ReplyDeleteI love those kids. What cute pictures. I too am so upset with Kenny and his choices. It's heart breaking.
