Who's blog is this anyway?

I (Lu-Lu) wanted to start a blog, but Momita also wanted to start a blog. So we sat down this afternoon and started a blog. Our goal is to write every Sunday so everyone will know what is happening in our lives.
On the weekend of the 17th Robert, Kim, and Baby Edgar came to visit. They stayed in my room. I had to sleep on the floor in the living room on a flat air mattress. The most memorable part of their visit was that the septic tank backing up so we had to go outside and use a bush or go down the street to use the neighbors bathroom. That was interesting. On Tuesday the septic people came and now we can flush the toilet, take a shower, use the sinks, and the dish washer (we used the hose outside and some buckets to wash the dishes).  Indoor pluming is so great. :)
Other than that it was fun having Baby Edgar here (his parents too). We also went to my cousin Andy's wedding. It was down by LeVerkin or somewhere we aren't really sure. We got lost and missed the whole wedding, but we did get to the reception. It was really fun the see everyone like Aunt Nancy (who came all the way from Costa Rica). But it was not fun when my other cousin Abby made me dance with a really tall guy. That was awkward.
On the 19th Daxon and Momita went to the pumpkin patch. They got some pumpkins that we will carve for family home evening. Also that day I went up to Salt Lake for State Cross Country. I was one of the few Girls who got to go from my district .Our school doesn't have a girls cross country teem so only the top three qualifying girls without teams can go to state . Two of the girls were from my school . Myself and my friend Kaycia . On Wednesdays we ran at 11am I was scared . Aunt Dana came to watch me . I didn't hear the race called and almost missed it  .My friend took 17th place and I was 27th which was an improvement over my last year of 34 . I was glad when it was over . As soon as the boys were done racing we rushed back to Piute high for our final rehearsal for the Zombie Movie a play that Tishel, Kieora and I were in .
(Mamita taking over this post)
The kids were great in the play . Papi didn't even recognize Kieora because of her makeup . She was playing a zombie actor . It took us a wile to recognize Tishel too . She was an actual Zombie, a male zombie . LuLu was pretty easy to recognize she didn't have any elaborate makeup.  She was a hillbilly.They grossed $1100.00  the night of the play. That's more than has ever been generated on a performance at the school . Mr Bagley the principle was really proud of them . The kids did really well . all the parts were great but the best was our neighbor Stede who no one recognized him. he was also a hill billy but He had mutton chops a mustache and one of those little beards that just grow under the lip . his whole body and voice were different as well as his walk and demeanor .I turned to papi and said that's Stede  He couldn't believe it he leaned forward to Stedes mom and complemented her on how well he was doing and then she realized it was Stede then she leaned forward and told his grandparents who also hadn't recognized him. All the kids were great . there was a part in the play were they take people from the audience to help and Dax was chosen with a little help from Seth signaling a friend to choose him . Dax had to help vanquish the zombies . Did I say how the Play was great?The day after the play was region volley ball and Keiora took off with the teem she is one of the managers. with budget cuts the school didn't pay for a hotel so they returned that night at 1:30 am .The team too second.
Seth also left Friday night to beaver were he met friends in beaver and went to a concert in Ogdon . They also picked up friends in Ephraim,Who they picked up in Neiph. They saw Allred a Christan band. I didnt know them but He thought we would like the music
We are on harvest break Monday and Tuesday from the high school and just Monday the Elementary . After last week we really needed the break
Papi has been at his new job now Two weeks. This week he will be spending a night out with the recovery group that he is working with training staff and holding a 12 step meeting . He is loving his work .
So that's how are family is doing .
I am in the primary presidency . Today was the primary program in sacrament meeting . ... need I say more? It all turned out well even tho we were short one family and one little girl was crying so bad she had to go sit by her mom(who is the president ) and one little girl wouldn't even come up to the seats she just stayed with her family . Both of them are 4 . I guess it was just too intimidating all those people looking at them .
Well if I knew how I would post pictures but I don't knew how so this is all you get till next week .
Lots of Love
LuLu and Mamita
