Did God pick Utah up and move it to Seattle without telling us?

Seriously, enough rain already. I'm beginning to think I should start considering an Ark in the backyard instead of trees and bushes. We're trying to stain the concrete on our new patio (that thank goodness was done at the end of May when there was still sun). We got the patio cover up between storms, but the stain cannot happen until it is dry....trees and bushes cannot happen until it is dry....so back yard mud pit will not go away ....until it is dry ;)

Onto a different topic...I over came the "Hog-a-virus" last week, but boy...it kicked my behind for a couple of days. I've just been praying that the kids don't get it, but I think Tay may have already had a really mild version and seems to be fine now..same with Christopher. Steph complained of a bit of a sore throat yesterday, but so far nothing major and Zach felt warm last night before he went to bed and I heard a couple of coughs overnight. He still wasn't up yet this morning when I checked in...ahhh...no more flu.
We got a note from the school yesterday saying it was confirmed in at least 1 student at the school and we could send our kids to school or not, which ever we want. I figure if we're gonna get it, we're gonna get it, might as well get it out of the way and hope for a vaccination next season ;) I'm supposed to go on a field trip tomorrow with Tay's class. We're going to the Tree House museum in Ogden, such a fun trip...I'm excited, but I sure hope I don't have sick kids. I'm also supposed to watch my friends kids today, who are so cute!!! Had them yesterday and they are really good kids, but I don't want to get them sick either....I hate the FLU!!! I'm done, done, done with it!

ASLA Annual Meeting and DC Trip done, PTA Carnival done, Dance Class, Baseball, Softball, done, done, done, Swine Flu, hopefully done, backyard, almost done, Father's day BBQ this weekend and Chris asked for a new garbage can lid and garbage bags for his workshop....Priceless!! I love my husband and I guess he did get a patio cover to BBQ under, so that was a pretty good present. BBQ Rain, Shine, Snow, nothing will ever stop him again BWHAHAHAAH!!

I'm definitely ready for some sunshine and a break!! Please, summer come back.... I like living in the desert, if I wanted to live in Seattle, I'd move there...I don't!! Bring me some 104 degrees with scorching sun, bring on the wildfire warnings and firework restrictions...I'm ready!! Although, the bench in Bountiful is so GREEN..it is gorgeous, so I guess there is an upside to so much rain ;)
