Waited all winter.....

Waited all winter for a good snow. After I have put away most of their winter gear, here comes a spring blizzard! Not complaining, though, we needed the moisture badly! The boys had a blast playing in it. Can't believe how fast it melted.





Uncle Keegan came over and they built a snowman. If only I could go from round and lumpy to buff as quickly as the snowman did!

We cooked out a few hours after.....crazy weather!

Such as dog lover--Look at my sweet little Zuko!!





Can't Sleep

Can't sleep. Should be exhausted from being sick, but here I am. I am watching CNN about "octomom" moving into 1/2 million dollar home, while her mom goes into foreclosure. Her designer new clothes. Well, it's supposed to be about the children. She sold pic's of the babies to buy the house. Hmmm, how much of that "makeover" money could have already gone to babies. Now. Million Dollar Baby is donating all cribs and decorations for rooms. Here is my question I haven't heard anybody ask: HOW IN THE HELL DID SHE AFFORD IVF? Don't we always hear about infertile couples struggling to afford IVF, and only have money for one shot at it?

And yes, I am an avid fan of The Dr.'s and Dr. Ordon stated she has obviously had plastic surgery in the past. So, she lives w/ her broke mom (whom nadia drove into BR no doubt), uses her mom up taking care of kids, has no job, has gov't assistance. Yet, somehow affords plastic surgery amidst having the first six kids, and mulitple IVF procedures? What Gives?

And now every one is banning Rhianna's music because she took Chris Brown back? I haven't heard anyone ripping his songs off their ipods for what he did? Or did I just miss that part? Uggg, just looking at him makes me angry.

Obviously, I should not be watching CNN at 2 am!! Walking Into The Wall Gosh, I hope I feel close to my self tomorrow. Feel like I have lost two days to my recliner!

I am praying we are all healthy for SB, since the weather is forecasted to be awesome! I have been homebound for two weeks now.

Long week

Been a long week. Aidan has been home with the flu all week! And Jeremy has been trying to recover since last week. Of course, he can't take off of work too long, so he can't rest as much as he should. Poor guys! Aidan missed his Kindergarten Rodeo Day today. The class went to Mesquite Ranch to do cowboy stuff. We borrowed stuff from Amy, Kyle, and Caleb to dress up and he didn't feel up to going. So we dressed up this afternoon and went around to Dad, and Grandparents to show them his outfit. What a Cowboy heartbreaker!



I have probably gained 10 lbs just from being stuck at the house all week. All I have done is munch around. And we missed all the pretty weather Kicking Dirt but we did manage a 10 minute walk around the block yesterday. Aidan and I both were feeling cabin fever. Hopefully it will be pretty next week, too.

Things have been mellow lately. No major drama. Alek is starting spring soccer, I don't know if Aidan wants to do anything. When he sent to see Pediatrician, she checked his heart really thoroughly and said he sounded good. She wants to see him in 2 months to check again. Maybe we won't have to do the EKG.

Aidan and I have a birthday on the 16th. Yay, he'll be 6 and I'll be 29 again. Gift Certificates to the new Awaken Day Spa would be awesome--if anyone reading wants to know Birthday Party Blower

Tessa and Taylor, my nieces had a birthday last month, and JJ, my nephew has one this month, too. My best friend from high school has a bday on the 14th. Also, Aidan & I were born on my Nano's birthday. Wow, a full month for birthdays!

Valentine's Day

Yeah, it's a late post, but I have been having fun sharing these pictures. Dressing up 80's was really fun. Kipp, Kim, Charity, Ty, Jeremy and me all went. It was at the Nat Ballroom. They played great 80's music, but they missed "99 Red Luft Balloons"--Too Bad!!

Blah, Blah, Blah

K, I am trying to set up all my stuff on a laptop. Sux. Never realized how much crap I actually have and rely on online. Scary. It is midnight, I am exhausted, yet I can't seem to stop! Anyone know how to get all of "my favorite" links from my pc to my laptop? What about email addresses on my pc in outlook 2003 to outlook express? If I have to reenter all that, I will not be a happy camper. I must admit, being able to sit in living room & work on computer while my hubby snores on the couch is better than having to be upstairs at the desk. Although, as many times as I run up the stairs every day just to do computer related things. . . well, my butt and legs may soon spread in size from lack of exercise--'cause with my shoulder injury--that's about all I get!

Alek takes the TAKS writing on Tuesday. He doesn't seem worried--YAY! I am taking my nieces out for a girl afternoon tomorrow for their birthdays. I am going to take them for pedi's and shopping for a top or something. Whatever they want--I am so excited. Girly stuff!!!!

Guess I'll pry myself from computer and go to bed. I am going to regret this in a few hours when the alarm goes off.
