Wowser's I got a whole lot done today! Laundry including taking down the icky shower curtain, organized the kids craft stuff, cleaned up the office and organized the laundry room. Amazing what happens when your kids aren't stuck in front of the TV..I don't know..they actually played and when I called them...wait for it..they CAME!!! Their ever lovin brains were not sucked into and attached to Hannah, iCarly or some other show. Now they have watched a church movie today. Oh and Lydia thought it was a great idea to blast some mariachi music on the downstairs stereo, which I had to explain that even though we don't know what they are singing about, that it is sooo not bringing the spirit into our home and to please turn it off. (haha that kid cracks me up)
Now I have always had a love and a testimony of the scriptures, but sometimes I'm not always the best at remembering to read them on a regular basis. When I do, embarrassingly enough, I'm to the point of exhaustion and I end up reading a verse several times because I'm falling asleep. When did I get to the point of taking them for granted? Usually thinking that I'd be better about it eventually. Soooo here's to scripture study....

Pre-day 1 Missionary challenge Post
Tonight was a moment of excitement as well as a little uncertainty. LOL Oh how utterly dependent I have become of modern entertainment and my beloved DVR and worst of all, so have my kids. So much bickering between them and the attitude??? It sooooo needs to stop, so that being said I think this is a great opportunity for our family to become closer, strengthen our testimony and most importantly, impact those searching for the gospel. What is this that we are doing you may ask? The Atkinson family has been called and those of us 12 and up, have been set apart as ward missionaries for the month of October. We are to live the standards to the best of our abilities (no media etc) and pray for missionary experiences. We have a awesome district leader and we are gonna rock this! LOL! I'm excited for the change that will happen in our home and I know it will be a rough start, but we'll get this!
{Hmmm so lets check back in a day or so when I haven't watched my "Hero's" or "So You Think You Can Dance.. dance.. dance.." oh wait can't leave out my favorite office gang...something about Pam and Jim getting married..ahhh! } ;)
So here's a start..go HERE and read this article and watch this short video on our Heavenly Father's plan of happiness! :) See you tomorrow!

BEST birthday EVER!!
This year was my favorite!! It was like a week of goodness!! Neigh took me out for lunch at Macayo's my FAVORITE!!! Thank you again! Love ya and miss you!
Later that night we went to Grahmns Central Station for karaoke and dancing with our awesome friends and family!! Rob got up there and sang Bohemian Rhapsody with my MOM!!! It was so fun!! The next day Sunday (my actual bday) The Gibbens had us over for meatball subs and ALL of my favorite yummy things!! I had a perfect day!! Thank you Twylla for being so awesome. LOVE YA!!
Then my super fabulous friends invited me out for my birthday!! We had a blast laughing and Nikki brought me the best accessories that a birthday girl could ever have!!! Thank you again girls!! Love yaaaa ya'll!!
Time again for a update!
Ok so I have been terrible at keeping up so here is my attempt to recap the past few months! LOL
ONE WORD..Roller Derby!! HILARIOUS!!! Thanks Deweys for the invite! Apparently I'd make a good derby girl cause one of them was trying to recruit me and said she's teach me how to skate. Thats what I get for being tall and having a big boot-tayyy LOL
So me and Rob thought we should audition for the biggest loser and it was insane! We got to meet Sione and what a super nice guy. What was even more funny is I didn't even know who he was because I had never seen the show at that point. LOL Lame yes I am!!
The kids had cottage fair and Kyles class sang a little song and it was adorable!!
Lydia showed off her book report in her class.
In March my grandpa Kutshinsky passed away. So we traveled to Pennsylvania LAST minute.
What an amazing person he was and I loved spending time with my dad typing up his life story. He wasn't a member of the church and we wanted to but a little LDS into the mix so me and my sister Monica sang "Each Life that Touches Ours for Good" Actually made it through without bawling too bad. All of the us kids were able to attend so it was neat to come together and support each other. Auntie Karen is moving HERE so I am very excited!! We couldn't of gone if it wasn't for our amazing friends! Thank you for keeping the sanity! We love you!!
{Me and my cousin Richard}
{Eating at our favorite pizza place EVER Jioios}
{Visited Adam Falls and hiked..so pretty}
Us Twilight freaks decided to brave the crowds and get the movie at midnight. Sooo fun especially when they split the line right in front of us. Ohhh man some people got mad. Convenient for us though cause we got out movie right at midnight. I think its because we batted out eyelashes at the employee and he was struck by our beauty..or maybe not. LOL
Kimberly WROTE this song for planet earth and they asked her to sing it over the announcements at EduPrize on earth day! She was so awesome. Great job Kimby!!
Next the month of April was CRAZY!! David was preparing to leave on his mission. Me and Rob took him shopping with my mom and it was hilarious!! Him and Rob were trying on ugly ties and Miami Vice style jackets. We did a last minute Lake trip and had a blast on the boat! David left on May 12th and I'm so proud of my bro!!!
