MIA

Sorry that I have been Missing In Action for so long. We are finally starting to feel better. I am finally feeling like I have some energy back. We all got sick right after New Years.(I'm sure due to all the late nights and family gatherings nightly.) Well we all ended up with pneumonia, nasty coughs, and major fatigue. Maxwell even got an ear infection. He was not sleeping very well at all, and then Thursday (9th) he told me that his ear hurt. I took him in and sure enough Ear infection. So we have been out of commission for a long time. Kyler got better pretty quickly, but still gets tired really fast. Anyhow- we are finally feeling better. I Hope that all of you are healthy, being sick id horrible.

Walking with Dinosaurs

Last Night Aunt Tara called to see if the boys would like to go to the Dinosaurs Live show at the ESA. Kyler & Maxwell were so excited. We got on the computer and went to the website so that they could be a little more prepared for the adventure they were going on. It just hyped them up even more. I don't think they stopped roaring like dinosaurs all night. Maxwell got a little nervous as it was time to go and mommy wasn't going with him, but he did ok once he saw Katelyn and her grandma Chrissy (whom my boys just love too) in the car. They left about 6:20 and I didn't know what to do. My house was quiet for the first time in who knows how long. I just layed on the couch and soaked in the silence. Later I went to Quinn's church ball game and actually had a good time since I wasn't chasing kiddos around. When we got home the boys pulled up right behind us. Great timing. They were so excited and so worn out. They both came in the house went upstairs put pjs on brushed teeth and went to bed. I was a little worried about some bad dreams, but neither of them had any. Unfortunately Maxwell still woke up coughing a few times, but hey I did have a little break.

Thanks Tara and Chris. The boys had such a good time. All they could talk about was the big T-REX. "It was so cool, mom!" ( I stole your picture too tara. thanks)

Snow Storm!

I was opening some snowman dishes that I recieved for my birthday from Tara, Jeff & Katelyn, and as I was placing them in my hutch I turned around and found the boys doing this with the styrofoam. I had to sit back and laugh as I let my kids have fun with this stuff. It made such a mess! But hey it was fun, even though Max decided to see if it tasted good.

New Years Eve

We started off the night saying goodbye to Andrew & megan. We sure had a blast having them home for the holidays. Kyler had a really hard time saying goodbye, it was so sweet.


Then we were off to the Gilberts for an evening of Rockband, soccer, treats, and a lot of fun. It was fun to be with the California group again. We missed the Aveys and their girls. When they are not around there are no girls. Crazy that we all have boys.




After the party at Gilberts we went to the Sperry's for Games and ringing in the new year. It was fun to have almost the whole family together. Vance and Shauna were in town with their kids. It has been a long time since we have seen them. It was a fun and crazy new years eve. Kyler and Max even made it to midnight.
