OK so today we went to a bounce house place, and had LOTS of fun. The kids had a great time, even Porter was a dare devil and climbed up the TALLEST bounce house there and slid down the slide. BUT when I was trying to wrangle the kids up to LEAVE.... Porter was up on the top of the bounce house, and would not come down. I think his clever little mind KNEW I was going to take him home. I grab him, and we go down the middle of the climb up ladder thing (did that make sense?) And I was wearing socks (always following the rules) so we slipped, and ended sliding down the STEPS.. OUCH OUCH OUCH OUCH. Well I crushed my pinky toe into one of the steps, and heard the crunch, and boy did I feel it. I said to myself.. "yay I just proved what a tard I really am.... yay for me, I broke my toe!" I grabbed the kids, got in the car, took my sock off and I wanted to puke. It was SO swollen, and you could see where it was broken. Tard girl here... seriously I am such a dork. Well turns out its worse than I had thought. Now I cant put any weight on my left foot, my toe looks like a large purple grape, and my toe nail is hiding. So much for my pedicure I got last week. Well it looks like the break is farther up my foot as well, just where my toe and foot meet. A little crack. I have a foot boot thing now, and I have to wear it when I am going to be walking alot... (uh this is my excuse to not have to work out people YAY FOR ME)
This much is true... when jennie is involved.. drama is involved. These 3 things do not mix.... bounce houses, pregnancy, and a 30 year old clutz....
At least Sarah and Zoie looked stylish on the slide. I break my toe/foot and look like a flying blob. yay for me! I will post picture of my toe tomorrow for everyone who is DYING to see it! Tomorrow is Lily's 5th birthday, I CANT BELIEVE SHE IS 5! Ahh my baby girl! (wiping the tear away, just kicked the computer desk with my bad foot)

Holy cow this is a LONG book. Feels like I have been reading it forever and I am not even half way done. So far, so good. Its been a bit interesting....... lets just say "foreplay is over!" hahaha at least the author is CLEAN, uh.... cause it could be alot worse! Spoiler alert...... my fellow Twilight drugies... turn away NOW!
Being a pregnant lady... I am always interested in baby names.... but.. Renesmee? Serious? Now that is the worst name I have ever heard! Ok.. thats all for now. I am tuckered out, and I am actually NOT going to read tonight. I want to sleep and not have dreams of a monster growing inside me. Seriously last night I woke up SWEATING... freaking vampire book! hahaha

Ok, So much has happened this week, and I dont know where to start. I got home from girls camp last friday and I was really SICK. I was so sun burned it caused sun poisoning and I had little blood blisters on my forehead and hair line and my shoulder. OUCH. I was shivvering and HOT at the same time! I felt a little better by monday, and I had to get Lily ready for KINDERGARTEN! Lily started Kindergarten on tuesday and I DIDNT CRY, in public. She was so cute, and told me "mommy, let go of me, I am a big girl, and Mrs Thayer blew the whistle... time to go to SCHOOL!" It was so cute seeing her wave to me and blow kisses. My baby girl is a KINDERGARTNER! I will post pictures later, I am not feeling sohot right now.. darn pregnancy.. BLAH! 
What else..... hmm I AM SO SICK. I cant eat anything, well I can, but its things that arent good for me. I cant drink milk shakes and eat anything cold and frothy. Anything solid, well its not a mix for me! This child is beating me up inside! I have been a zombie all week. So I have used the excuse of being sick today to stay in my room all day and read Book 3 of The Twilight series... WAHOOOOOO Read about 300 pages before I was falling asleep of being so sick.
I am a Twilight junky, and I am so excited to start the 4th book next week. I need to take a few days off ro re collect myself, and be a mom to my kids. They tend to get neglected while I am reading! Dont freak out, they are clean, fed and safe...... hahhaah.

Well tomorrow morning at 6 am, I will be meeting 300 girls and leaders to go to girls camp. This is going to be INTERESTING! The mini van looks like I am moving to this camp site! But its not my fault... my friend and fellow Young Women's presidency member is also going, and she is as much of a girly girl as I am. Wahoo... its a week of hanging out at a lake, going on the zip line, certifications, camp food, and getting REALLLLLLLY dirty. SO MUCH FUN! Talk to you all on FRIDAY! I AM WITH OUT A COMPUTER UNTIL FRIDAY, OH HEAVEN HELP ME!

Well yesterday, July 26 I turned 30 years old! I dont feel ANY older, so all in all its beena good weekend! We went on a totally fun group date with some of my favorite people! Bethany and Blair, Jason and Heather and Kim and Scott. We went to Tepanyaki Japanese Steak house and then off to the movies to see the Dark knight.. SO GOOD! Here are some pictures from the evening! What a great weekend!
No these are not the candles from my birthday cake...
I think Jake loves that he married a YOUNGER WOMAN!
Our great friends Bethany and Blair Williams, they totally crack me up!
One of my best friend's Jason and Heather Lewis, came all the way up from PROVO, they MUST love me!
Our new friends Scott and Kim Wilson, They are a great addition to our crazy circle of friends!
The COOLEST part of the evening.. there was a RAINBOW ON MY BIRTHDAY!!

Well this morning I woke up earlier than normal so I could finish the last few chapters of the book. OH-MY-GOSH! I WANTED MORE! I so did not want the book to end! I have totally fallen for the characters and just want to read more! So once I finished I searched on like for the trailers to see what this movie will "look like". Ok so who is going with me on opening night to see this movie? Vanessa? Brooke, Kari, Bethany, Michelle, who else... LETS GO! I am going to be a giddy teenager, SERIOUSLY! I am debating on starting book 2 this weekend. My family has been with out a mother and wife since tuesday, and I think I need to spend time with this, also since its my birthday tomorrow.
We are going on a little group date with some friends to Tepanyaki, and then off to see the Batman movie. For anyone who refuses to read twilight.... RACHEL A... oh come on!! I was a skeptic for a while, now I am a addict! ITS TAKEN OVER ME! BUT WORTH IT! I mean come on, its read Stephenie Meyer books or tabloid trash? Twilight rocked, more than I expected, and THANK YOU BROOKE for FINALLY convincing me to read it! I am so happy there are lots of twilight mama's out there! I just thought it was a teeny bopper series since my niece read them....... I love Edward

Ok, so I started the book a few days ago, and I am ALMOST DONE. I literally read 300 pages today. Thats right... I am a nut job. I just cant put it down. I had to force myself to put it down tonight! And now I cant stop thinking about it. I just finished the "Hunt" chapter and my heart is still racing. I am secretively in love with Edward. A-M-A-Z-I-N-G! Why didnt you guys make me read these books months ago? You are supposed to be my friends.... you were so holding out on me! And the name Isabella sounds really good to me right now... Maybe Jake was onto something when he said he wanted to name the baby Isabella if its a girl... haha I LOVE THIS BOOK, and its the first book! I will start book 2 tomorrow most likely, but I am sad that I will be going to girls camp next week. Is it appropriate to bring it to girls camp? hmmm I may just have to! hide in the sleeping bag with my flash light reading away! I have been a very bad mom and wife today... my poor family.... I am under the twilight spell!

Jake's 35th Birthday cake!
We set up my friends bounce house (thanks Janie) and that entertained the little kids!

Well Jake loves his Wii system... for his birthday we had a Wii party! Family and friends came over and played Wii on the projector. It was pretty fun to watch grown adults playing... they REALLY got into it, as you can see in the pictures!
Like Jake's sponge bob cake? You can thank Lily and Jackson for that one. It was a ice cream cake, and no I didnt make it. Baskin robbins did! YUM-O!!
