Dizzy

Today was a great day. It was however a little to warm.
We went to church today. Levi still has a real hard time saying good bye to me in nursery. It hard to see him screaming but they say that he calms down by snack time. When I come to pick him up he is happy and playing. They told me that he participate in the lesson today which made me really happy.
We had a primary teacher training today which I was ask to attend because I teach the cub scouts and that is a primary calling. It was a really nice meeting. Its always nice to hear new ways to improve yourself.
Jeremy turns 30 on Wednesday. He thinks he is getting old and this is a big one so I think its hitting him hard. I told him to look forward to the future and all the things to come. He is a wonderful husband and father and I love him so much and I can not wait to spend the next 30 years with him.
Levi has learned a new trick. He has learned how to spin around in little tight circles and he will keep doing this until he falls over. He than gets up to do it again and he wont be able to walk straight. I think it is so funny to watch him. He cracks himself up and that makes me laugh too.

New Nails

Today was a good day. I got a whole bunch of house work done. Than I had a meet up at my house. I filled the pools and turned on the sprinkles and two other moms came over and 5 kids. It was fun. Its been really hot so it was a great day for the water.
I got my nails done today. I love getting my nails done. I did a color change today. Now they are bright red. I love the feel and the look for new nails. Rachel takes her time and does a wonderful job with them.
Jeremy is off at lunch tomorrow so I am looking forward to spending time with him.

Bye Grandma

I am glad to be home and I know that Jeremy is so happy to have me and Levi back. He took the day off work so he could pick me up from the airport and than spend the day together. I had to get up at 3 AM this morning to get to the airport on time. So I am going to go to bed early.
I got home and realized that I have left my camera at my moms house so I am bummed about that. I wont be able to upload any pictures for awhile till I get that back.
Levi learned two new words while we were in California. He says Grandma and Ahhh Choooo. Its so cute. He said Grandma 3 times very clear and now when he says it its not quite as clear.
Sammy is real glad to see me. I brought him a bone from the Corralitos Market and he loved it. He had been playing ball with me the whole day. Jeremy said that Sammy took my spot in the bed while I was gone.
I love to go visit my family. Its so fun to spend time with them. I can just be myself around them. It is nice to come home however.

I am home

I am back home after 5 days in Cali. I had a wonderful time. We had are annual camping trip which was so much fun. Levi did great. Than I got to go to the beach with Amy and that was just amazing. The weather was great. I will update more later. Here are a few pictures.
Levi is sleeping in the tent.

Toothless

I had 3 teeth pulled today. One wisdom tooth on the bottom left and the two molars next to it. So now I have no teeth on the left bottom side. I am a total loser but Jeremy promises that he will still love me when I have no teeth. My mouth hurts really bad right now but the good news is that even with all the pain right now it feels better than with that rotten tooth out of there. The doc put a bunch of stitches in there to hold the huge hole close. I hope that when I go to Cali that I don't have to much pain.
I also had a swimming party with my scouts tonight that went really well considering I just had my teeth pulled.

ENT visit

I am really looking forward to going to Cali on Friday. My plane leaves at 6AM so Jeremy will take me there before he goes to work which means I have to wake up at 4AM. It will be so worth it. My dad is picking us up from the airport and than we are driving straight to the lake and camping the rest of weekend. I really wish Jer was coming to. It will be so fun to be with my family doing the things that we love (camping, boating, swimming, sunbathing, wakeboarding, tubing). I know Levi will have a good time because he loves camping and loves the water.
Today we had Levi's ENT appointment and the doctor said that we will hold off on tubes and see if he gets another ear infection over the summer. He has water in he ear canal and we should have that checked in a month or so but other than that everything is good. I was very happy about that. I don't want him to have to have surgery.
Than we went to a swimming meet up and had a great time playing in the water.
We we got home from the meet up Grandpa M was out in the garage working so Levi and I played outside with him for awhile. They have this little scooter that is meant for big kids but Levi was determine to ride so Grandpa had to help him with it. It was so cute and I just happen to have my camera with me so I snapped some pictures

BBQ

Today was a good day. Levi is still not feeling well but he got to feeling better as the day went on. We helped Sherry with putting shelves up in her closet all morning. Jeremy worked really hard on the shelves and they turned out really nice. Levi helped by holding different tools and climbing up the first step of the latter.
We than had a BBQ with some family. Jeremy got a camp chef stove for Fathers Day from me and Levi. I gave it to him a day earlier so we made shish kabobs on it tonight with the family. Jeremy loves the new stove.
Here are some pictures from tonight. Levi got a bubble hippo today and he loved it because when he pulls the trigger a whole bunch of bubble come out of its mouth.
I hope he feels a lot better tomorrow. We are suppose to have another BBQ tomorrow for fathers day. I really hope that Levi did not over do it today and is sicker tomorrow.

I hate my teeth

Levi does not feel good and was up all night and I have a tooth that has gone off on me and I now have a infection in my jaw.
I drove the 70 miles to pick up Grandma Madsen's sister and bring her to Grandmas house for the week. It was a nice drive.
I really hope that Levi feels better soon. I am not sure what is wrong with him. He might have another ear infection. Hes just been really grumpy and unhappy. He woke up in the middle of the night and would not go back to sleep. We had not had a night like that in a long time. Usually when he wakes up he goes back to sleep when I rock him but he was not having it last night so we came out and watched TV for a few hours and than I tried again. I hope he gets more sleep tonight.

Exercise

Today I am so proud of myself. I went to a water aerobics class and did an hour workout. The class started at 9 so I was up and out of the house at 830. I loved the class so much. There was about 10 of us in the class and all the other ladies were old and fat but I had a great time. The teacher was great and she was in the water with us the whole time. We spent 40 minutes in the deep end and than 2o in the shallow end. I am defenitly going to do it again. I really felt like I got a whole body work out. I put Levi in the child care there and that was so hard. I was worried about him the whole time. Its hard because hes so quite and he gets lost in the shuffle. But the lady said that he did ok and did not really cry just whined for a while before he found sometime to play with. It makes me really nervous because he cant talk so he cant let me what went on when I was not there and he cant let anyone there know what he needs. So it was so hard for me to leave him there and it was only for an hour. Maybe it will get easier.
Than we had lunch with Jer. That was fun to.
I also had scouts tonight and we went for a bike ride. So I got a double work out.

Monday

Today was a great day. I got to sleep in and than I went to a meet up and had breakfast. Than the five of us went for a 2.5 mile walk. I had Levi on my back the whole walk so I got my work out today. This was Levi when we got back to the house.
Aparently riding on my back is hard work for Levi.
Than we came home a filled up the swimming pool and Levi and Sammy played in the water.
I am trying not to get so tired so I thought if I got up and did some exercise that it would help my blood get moving. I am feeling pretty good. I do however have the biggest blister on my foot from the walk and it hurts really bad. I need new walking shoes.

On Saturday my mom and I booked my flight to Cali. I leave on the 20 and will be back on the 25. I am so excited. I cant wait to see my family and go camping. I am sad that Jer cant come with us. Next time he is coming.

Sleepy Sunday

We went to church today and than to a friends BBQ. It was a great Sunday. I even got to sleep in.
It was a great weekend over all and tomorrow I get to sleep in. I am looking forward to spending time with Levi and getting some stuff done around the house.
I have been so tired lately I cant seem to get enough sleep and even when I am awake I feel run down and tired. Maybe I need to go see the doc and have some blood work done. But if I think back I have always been on the tired side but the past month it has gotten bad were some times it feels like I have taken a sleeping pill in the middle of the day when I have not taken anything. Some morning like this morning it is so hard for me to get up and get motivated. I woke up with Levi at 6 but as soon as Jer woke up I laid down on the couch and slept till 10. I dont know what is wrong with me. I really wish I had more energy. I lay down at night for bed and I cant fall asleep for a long time. I took a PM tonight so I could go to sleep so we will see how I feel tomorrow

Water in the house again

So it rained Wednesday night and Thursday morning I woke up and was walking out the door on my way to work and noticed that there was a river coming in the closed window in the living room. So I threw as many towels as I could find on the water and left. Than I packed all the kids up and came home to asses the damage. I got home and realized the rain had filled up the window well and the water was coming in. I moved everything out of the living room and there was water everywhere. It took the carpet cleaner and just used it to suck up all the water and it filled the carpet cleaner up twice. So after I did what I could to clean the water up I started on the window well and realized that there was still 8 inches of standing water in the window well and its the window that is under the deck out side so to get to it I had to crawl on my belly like a snake and reach down there to get all the trash out. So once my father in law got home and Jeremy we all went to work on the window wells because there was 3 of them with water in them but luckily only one had leaked into the house. So it took us all afternoon to clean them all out and I am still sore 2 days later. I think that we have had are share of water damage in the house to last us all year.
Yesterday was my last day at work. I am excited to become a SAHM again.

Rain rain go away

Today was another busy day. It rained all day so I was stuck inside with all three kids but for it being a rainy day they all did really well.
Than I had scouts. This month its sportsmanship. So we talked about being good sports and than we played a game outside in the rain. It was not quite raining when we started but it was by the time we stopped. But their 8 year old boys and they could care less about the rain. So it was fun.
All day long I kept thinking it was Thursday. This week seems to be going by really slow even thought I have been busy every night.

Happy Birthday Dad

Today was another busy day but it did make the day go by quick. I had an Enrichment Activity that I went to tonight. I had a great time. We sewed sanitary pads for women in Africa out of cloth diapers. I actually used a sewing machine. I was pretty proud of myself. All together we sewed over 200 of them. These women don't have anything to use during that time of the month and they don't have a garbage to throw things out in so these cloth diapers that we turned into pads will be able to be reused and help them thru that time. It felt good to be doing a service and I got to chat with some women that I have never really talked to before so that was fun. I like getting to know different people in the ward.
Today is also my dads birthday. He is 60 years old today. Happy Birthday Dad. I love you and you are the best dad ever. I miss my parents and I hope to be going out there for his party in a few weeks. One of my favorite memories of my dad is the times we went horseback riding together. When I would get out of school my dad would take me on his motor cycle and we would ride the 20 minutes up the mountain to his friends house and we would saddle our horses and ride into the mountains. It was so much fun to be out in nature and on the back of the horse. My dad would always push the limits and we ended up in some interesting predicaments that were quite scary but now they make for some of the best stories. I love to hear my dad tell the story of the time my horse went rolling down the side of the mountain. I will never forget the times my dad and I shared while horseback riding and I thank my dad for giving me those wonderful memories and taking time out of his life to make sure we could do that.

Monday

Today started out like a really bad day. I woke up and got ready to go to work and got Levi up was all ready to go and than I could not find my keys and than it dawned on me that they were in the diaper bag which was locked in the car. So I call Jer in a panic and he tells me to call Cody and see if he can bring the girls to me. So I call Cody and he cant bring the girls because he dose not have the car seats. So I call Jer back and he says that as soon as his boss was out of his meeting he would come home and give me his spare keys. So I was an hour late to Cody's house and that means that he was late to work to. I hate being late and I felt like the biggest idiot in the world. Jer and Cody were not happy with me and Jer told me that I need to keep better track of my keys. So I thought it was going to be a crapy day because I was already feeling like a loser but I was able to turn it around and have a pretty good day. Jer is working late to make up for the time it took him to bring me the keys. I had fun with the girls today. Than I came home and did some laundry and cleaned the crap out of me kitchen.
When Jer gets home we are going to have some dinner and than go for a walk around the neighborhood.
I brought my keys in the house so we wont have the same drama again tomorrow.

Shoes

Levis favorite thing is to find the highest pair of high heals and walk around in them. Thanks Rachel for the use of your shoes because I don't have high heals.
