Here We Are!!!!!

We are here, we are alive, we are well!!! We've been so so busy!! Brooklyn and I went to Boise last week for a little girls trip. We were gone about a day and a half, but it was so nice to just shop and eat and hang out with the some fellow female family members! My sister, her daughter Tessa, my mom and my aunt Debbie were all there too! While we were shopping I thought to myself.....Self, B needs earrings.....so guess what?!?! Now Miss B has earrings!! So So cute. My mom was of course the only one with a camera, so this is the photo. I think it hurt me more then it hurt Brooklyn! But after a few sips on a bottle she was as happy as can be! I'm gonna take an up close picture after she wakes up from her nap and I'll post it tomorrow, so everyone can enjoy the marvelous bling in her ears! She thinks she is fabulous!!



Also last week we had a wedding. My Dad got married to Teresa on Saturday. So we've been pretty busy with that. We had family in from out of town so it was great to see all of them! It was a great time together.

On top of all of this we have had the usual life things of school, work, and the daily hustle and bustle. But, me and my blog are back!!! Thanks for missing us!!!

Busy Life............

Ok, Ok, so here we are.... Such a busy week! Whew, I'm tired just remembering it! I worked until Wednesday, had a couple meetings yesterday. But on Tuesday night I got to get together with a great friend from high school Shenell and her girls. It was so fun to get to chat with someone I hadn't seen in such a long time! And our kids just hit off great. There was pizza, soda, soceer in the backyard. The youngest two were quiet for a little while, so Shenell and I went to investigate.... The picture is what we stumbled upon. They were having quite the fashion show with Miss B's clothes!!!




Jackson has his first slumber party tonight. His best little friend Adam is turning 7 and invited him over for tonight for a little Wii and some boy time! He's been asking me since Monday if it was Friday yet! I'm crossing my fingers that I don't get that midnite phone call that a little boy wants to come home. But, I'm fairly confident that Jackson will not do that. Kaden has been busy this week, just watching Sponge Bob and creating messes where ever he goes. He sure enjoys making them but NOT cleaning them up!!! And Miss B got her top tooth to finally break through! Horray!! After many long sleepless nights! Now.... for the other one... I'm hoping it's not as painful.... for her or for me!!! Hope everyone is doing fantastic! Enjoy the weekend!!!

Not too much.....

Life continues as usual..... I'm pretty much recovered from my head cold. Kaden, not so much. He continues to have a fever off and on and be whiney!!! No one is enjoying that part of him these last few days! Brooklyn's top tooth has finally broke through a teeny bit, but still has a ways to go. Hopefully she'll be back to her happy self in no time! Here's a few pictures from Kaden and Brooklyn from today. Miss B has discovered how to roll consecutively, and she's loving that. She's able to reach a lot more toys that way! She also loves her toes. Kaden's outfit from today was just to priceless to not take a picture of today I didn't think. It's my home health weekend, and then my long week at the hospital, so if you don't hear from us for awhile, have no fear we are still around!!!

House of Germs.....

So Kaden and I are sick with colds. I'm hoping no one else gets it, but I'm sure luck won't be on our side with that one! Jackson has returned to school this week. It's good for him to get back in a routine! That kid needs structure! Brooklyn has been ultra grouchy this week teething! She's been waking up like twice a night the last few nights! Someone should tell her that her mommy has to get up way early for work and appreciates her sleep! :) But I just have to remind myself that pretty soon all my kids will be grown I'll wish that there was someone there to wake me up at night! But all I can dream about right now is.....SLEEP!!! On Sunday Kaden and I decided to make cupcakes. Jackson was suposed to help us, but he ditched us for the nieghbor kid. I guess the older they get, the less they think hanging out with mom is cool.... Sigh.... So Kaden and I made them and it was fun. He really liked helping. So these are a couple pictures from that. Hope everyone is doing great! Hopefully we'll be well soon!!
