Schiess family’s Weblog

I droped a fifteen pound dumbell on my toe and it really hurts!!! It reminded me of a sign I saw that said House work wont hurt you but why take the chance. I was cleaning out under my bed and put all the random unused stuff in a laundry basket with the dumbell resting on top, not so smart, when I walked by it fell right on my big toe!! John got a bag of frozen corn for me to put on it, Im pretty sure it’s broken but I will wait and go to my doctor tomorrow, we dont have the best insurance and their is really nothing they can do.

It’s almost time for eden to go to kindergarten!!! I’m freaken out man! We went school shopping at target and ross and got some cute things, she had to have the hanah montana shirt, she hugged it at the store and squeeled how could I say no. My favorite is the plaid dress and brown leggings so cute!!

My aunt Tracy gave me some really cute fabric to make a skirt for eden, I LOVE IT!! I can’t wait to get started, I hope to have it done by sunday.

I got this fat quarter bundle for my birthday it’s Summer in the city from moda, this is my favorite fabric ever they don’t make it anymore thank goodness for ebay I have built up quite a collection of this fabric but I can’t bring myself to cut it.

We went camping a couple weeks ago it was so fun, my faith in camping has been restored. It was beautful here are some pictures from the trip.

My parent let us take their trailer, it’s so nice to have a bathroom when your camping………. enough said.

Eden is 5 going on 15 she cracks me up. Today at work she was watching Barney, there was a girl who just moved to the neighborhood who was showing Barney pictures of her friend and saying how much she missed them. Eden says, mom can people text each other even if they are far away?  I say yes, eden says they should each get a cell phone so they can text each other. I have a feeling she is going to ask for a cell phone soon.

I found my camera cord so here are some pictures of the kitties.

They were born June 12th

they look kinda like rats

We took them outside for the first time i think they liked it

this one is my favorite he is the sweetest one

I stayed up until 3:30am reading The Host by Stephenie Meyer and I’m tired, it’s my own fault I knew it would happen but I couldn’t help it. John went to bed at 8:30 because he had to wake up at 4:00 and I had eden in bed by 9:00 the laundry was done so were the dishes It was like the perfect storm for cuddling up with a good book.  I am about 175 pages away from finishing so I am sure I will be done by tonight if I don’t fall asleep

I have been a bad blogger, it’s been a long time so here are a couple things I have been meaning to post.

Our cat squirt had her kitties. They are so cute!! I have pictures but can’t find my camera cord but as soon as I do I will post them. Their are 2 boys and 2 girls.  There almost a month old and get into everything, so we put them in the downstairs bath room. Anyone want a cat?

Our neighborhood is kinda creepy, we live on the wrong side of the tracks I guess.  About a month ago someone stole the ramps off our trailer grrrr  their $175 dollars to replace. Yesterday someone stole a bag of dirt I bought to plant some flowers in pots for my porch…..a bag of dirt… come on it’s DIRT!!!! I picture some homeless guy trying to trade it for whiskey. I guess nothings safe.

John got to ride in a police car…..

We came home late the other night and as I was taking eden inside John noticed a guys trying to get in what he thought was his car John thought maybe he locked the keys in but the guy went across the street and open another car door took some stuff and went to the next car and did the same thing. He was stumbling…pretty sure he was plastered. I got the phone and John called the police, luckily we live about a block away from 7-11 so they were pretty close by and caught him.  John got to ride in the police car to go ID the guy. It was pretty funny to see john getting in the back of the car, I wish I would have taken a picture It would have made a cute scrap book page ha ha!

Friday the 13th we left for our trip to sand hallow ( close to St. George) My parents let us barrow their trailer, we got loaded up and on our way. After driving for an hour we stated hearing weird nosies coming from our truck..ping then shaking then ping pop ping. We pulled of in Scipio at a chevron gas station. We got out and saw transmission fluid pouring out of the truck. We called my dad to come get us and called a Tischners to come tow the truck. We were just planning on going home but I have the BEST parents ever. My dad drove his truck and my mom fallowed him so we could take their truck and go on our trip,  they drove both their cars to a place an hour away so we could go camping, with the current gas prices I’m putting this one up their with donating a kidney Johns brother and his family came with us to they took eden and went ahead while we waited for the tow truck. We arrived at sand hallow around 9 that night. The next morning we loaded up our cars and drove to the water thats 2 miles from the camp ground we pulled our cars right down to the beach, it was so pretty (I wish I remembered my camera) we played in the water for a couple hours. Then the camp ground police came and told us we had to move our cars off the beach. They said their were signs all over that said no vehicles ( we counted 1 tiny sign ) so john went to take the truck back and got stuck in the sand grrrr!!!!!!! It took 30 minutes and 7 people to get it out!! It was a crazy weekend and just to top it off john ran over his foot with the 4-wheeler it ground sand into it so it was orange, then when we got home I took my dads truck to the car wash, I had a ramp in the back that we barrowed from my uncle Karl I set it on the wall at in the car wash stall so I could spray out the back.  I drove off with out it!!  Half way home I turned around and went back and it was gone! I left then a note with my phone number and luckily they called me today to say they had it. Needles to say we had a very eventful weekend that we will never forget.

John and eden made me blueberry cupcakes and wrote me I love you letters as a surprise when I got home

from work. It made my day!

Eden attends center stage preschool. It’s a really fun school that teaches her dance, karate and singing along with the regular stuff. Her end of the year recital was last Saturday. When it was her class’s turn to go on stage I had butterflies in my stomach and tears in my eyes, it was so cute to watch she did such a good job I am so proud of her. I can’t believe how fast she is growing up! She says she is going to live at home forever and never get married. She doesn’t believe me when I tell her someday ( around the age of 13!!) that she will think I am the meanest mom ever and want to move out asap!!
