Well – we survived another day of Kris-less-ness. I guess it isn’t fully over yet. Tanner is still out with friends and at some point I’ll have to go pick him up.
We cleaned a few things, took care of the yard, and kept the washer/dryer running all day. Everything went pretty well. No real serious meltdowns and everyone but Kiki were able to get their rooms cleaned up.
This weekend is stake conference so I left the kids in Tanner / Lexi’s hands and went to the adult session. It was a good session, but it is always weird to go alone.
After conference I came home and made sure that the kids were actually in their rooms. Amazingly things were going pretty smoothly – hopefully the lack of sleep is catching up and they are going to sleep well tonight.
I was hungry and didn’t want Totino’s pizza leftovers from the kids so I made some things that Kris would not approve of. I made a nice curry over rice and then some garlic hummus. It was really good. Hopefully I wont regret it in the morning.
Lucky for me the day is pretty much over – it is time for some shut-eye. Kris and Cassy should get home some time tomorrow. It depends on if they make a stop at CEU and the Price cemetery. Hope they are having fun. Life is good and when we are all together it’s better.

Day two without Kris
May 20, 2011
Kris and Cassidy in Helper UT
Kris and Cassy are in Helper for a YTU production. Helper is a small town where time has stood still since 1950. The theater troupe are mini-celebrities in the town. The town has put them up in a “hotel” which in a former life was a brothel.
I hope they have fun. Being the mom is not as easy as it may seem. We made it through the day without really any tears, but we are all pooped. Parker said it best “I miss mommy.”
One photo is of a card I saw. Another is the actual brothel bathroom in their hotel. The other one is a quilt that someone made showing all of the major organ systems. I guess you get an educational good night’s sleep.
Fun, fun, fun!
Kiki Birthday
A great day for Kiki – a horrible food day for everyone. Donuts and sausage for breakfast, McDonalds for lunch, and Pizza Pie Buffet for dinner. Somehow my 4 mile run just doesn’t make up for it.
No matter. Kiki had a ton of fun and loves her presents. Hopefully she and the rest of the kids will sleep well tonight.

Solid gold lettuce
Wow – can’t believe the price of lettuce at walmart. Look how much wince saves me!
Free comic books
Scared my kids by taking them to free comic book weekend. I was a bit scared myself. I told them not to touch or make eye contact with anyone. 🙂
Mothers Day 2011
Had a great day with Kris and the kids. Kris and I both spoke in church and she kicked my butt as usual. She is a wonderful wife and mother.
I miss my mom. I was glad to go place flowers on her grave.

Random B-Day pictures
Ended up at McDonalds for the b-day dinner. Nothing too exciting here.

Tanner has legs
They are oddly different bit that is what 6 weeks of no action gets you. At least the one is straight.
