H bar H Ranch

We took a trip up to Cambridge, ID this past weekend. Jeremy mom is moving up there and we went to help her unload a load of stuff and do some things around the house. We had a great time. Its about a 6 hour car ride and Levi did great, Kyle did ok.

Levi was in love with being a cow boy and feeding the cows with Rodney (his 17 year old second cousin). Levi and DJ were the best of friends the whole weekend.
I accidentally dropped Sammy out of the back of Aunt Renee's truck and we thought his leg was broken so Jeremy took him to the vet in town, but it turns out that he just tore all the ligaments in his leg, so hes got a splint that needs to stay on as long as possible. Poor Sammy was not happy but hes learning how to hobble on three legs.

Renee has some mud boots for all the boys and they looked super cute

The boys had so much fun stomping around in the mud, and there was lots of mud to be found.

Sammy before we took him to the vet. I should take a pick of his cast now, hes been really good about not chewing it off.

Wendover

Jeremy and I had a night away from the kids on Friday night to Saturday. I had a blast. We went to Wendover, NV and stayed in the Nugget. It was so fun to spend time with just Jeremy. I love him so much. I lost all my money but Jeremy was really really lucky and won back my money and than some but he did not quit while he was a head cause we were having to much fun but we ended up breaking even, so we played slots for 2 hours and did not lose any money.
Like I said it was fun to just get away for the night.
Amy did a wonderful job watching the boys and she said they did great for her. I was super worried cause Kyle has an ear infection and has been spiking a fever but Amy said that she would still watch him even though he was sick, and Levi was on cloud nine to have a sleep over with the cousins.
I hope there are more date nights and mini getaways in our future :)

Safe Kids Fair

What to do on a snowey Saturday? Go to the FREE Safe kids fair. Levi had a blast. It was a great cheap way to spend a Saturday.
Here are some of the highlights.

Kyle fell asleep before we even got in there.

Iron Man talked to the kids about safety

Levi wanted to be a cat like Rainee so I told the face painter to make it a manly cat. I think she did a great job.

Ladies Man

Driving the truck

Storm Troopers

I think its a good look for him

Bike safety

After the fair we went to Honda world for Daddy and Levi and I played air hockey

Lump

On Tuesday I had a fatty tumor removed from my lower back. I was a little stressed out and the emotional worry and stress was way worse than the procedure. I saw a general surgeon Dr. Rasmussen and he removed the lump in his office by just numbing my back. Jeremy was right by my side the whole time. Jer said the lump was about the size of a big marble. This lump has been causing my much pain in the past few months so I am glad to have it out. Jeremy also took yesterday off to help me with the kids and so I could rest. I am so thankful for a wonderful husband that stands by my side and helps me out. He went back to work today and my back hurts but its much better than yesterday. It just feels like a have a big cut on my back. I get to take the bandages off tonight and shower.

Aquarium

We went to the aquarium on Saturday. Jeremy finally had a Saturday off so we decided to do something fun with the kids. Levi had a great time. He was so excited to see all the fish. He was to scared to touch the bat-rays but he liked to watch them. He loved the penguins.
After the aquarium we went and got Levis hair cut. He needed a hair cut but I did not want to just shave it at home, I wanted him to have a little style. The girl did a wonderful job and he looks so handsome.
Than last night we had a super long night with both boys up all night coughing. I hope we all get a nap today.

Look Daddy

Valentines Day

Valentines Day
We had a great day yesterday. We went to a little Vday get together for the kids at a friends house in the morning and had a great time.
Than I got all the laundry done, mopped the floors with my new mop. Made a wonderful dinner of Lemon Shrimp Scampi and asparagus, with my favorite sparkling cider to drink and chocolate moose for desert. Than we Skyped my parents and went to bed.
Kyle slept the whole night through Sunday night (the first time hes ever slept that long)
I love my boys. I am so blessed to have good friends and great family.
Happy VDay!!!!

Superbowl Sunday

I tired to upload pictures but it would not let me. grrrrrrrrrr

January

Hello, I am still here and have not forgotten about you. My camera is having some major issues right now so I have not taken any pictures and you know how I feel about posts without pictures. But I hope to be up and running in the next week.
This new year has started off wonderful.
Jeremy has been working like crazy, hes only had 3 days off all month.

Levi is still in preschool and he loves going. No more screaming every morning cause he does not want to go.

Kyle is getting bigger and bigger and he sleeping is slowing getting better.

I have made a goal to get in shape and last week I worked out 6 days in a row. I go to Zumba on Mondays with some of my friends and the rest of the week I work out at home to a Kettlebell DVD. Last week I gained weight which is not helping with my motivation but I am going to stick with it. My goal is 30 pounds by June.
