mexico, youth conference and more

I realize that there have been a serious lack of posts this week.  

Derek is off in Mexico "team building" translation - playing around but calling it work.  For as much as I complain about these type of trips it really isn't all that bad.  I am glad that he can get away for a few days and not have to worry about work.  We do miss him a ton though.

Megan is also gone this weekend - she is at her first Youth Conference.  I have been able to see her quite a bit though.  YC is local this year and I have been helping with prepping and serving food to the youth so I have been able to talk to her.  She is having a blast but we miss her here at home.

Emily has been my huge helper, especially today.  I spent most of the day at church today (9am - 9pm) except for 2 hours between my food service shifts.  Emily held everything together here at home - watching the boys and cleaning house.  I am feeling especially grateful for her today I need to think of something fun to do with her as a thank you for her.  It was a serious long day for her.

We have also spent some time this weekend cleaning up a very poor toilet papering job.  When I was a youth I took pride in my tp'ing jobs - what is wrong with todays youth?  I have some pictures of the sad job and will post them when I have downloaded them.

Not much else going on here.  It is way too hot in our corner of the world - where is the 70 degree California weather that I love?  I miss my hubby and my daughter.  I'm feeling anxious about all the packing for trips that needs to happen in the next few days.  I'm feeling stressed about my new calling as activity leader to the girls I teach in Primary.  I'm excited to have baby Carter over tomorrow.  I'm too tired to write anymore.

welcome baby carter


I am finally an aunt on my side of the family.  I was an instant aunt when I married Derek - there are 44 nieces and nephews on Derek's side of the family.  My family was at a huge disadvantage with my kiddos being the only off spring.  Finally, it has changed - kinda.  My side will never catch up to the Baker's unless a lot more babies are born and they aren't going to come from me (there's a challenge for my siblings) but we now have a Wood family cousin for my kids to play with and I am now an aunt on my side.

Carter Harrison Wood was born this morning at 12:30am.  We are so happy to have him here. Congrats to my brother Ryan and his wife Katie.
