Josh is home

My Joshua is home. He had SO much fun with Auntie Tara and the girls. He was so spoiled by a bunch of girls, normally he is just getting beatin up by a bunch of boys lol. He kept giving me kisses and hugs. Patrick was the most excited to see him. Him and Patrick play all the time, mainly football and video games, but they are always together so it was hard for Patrick.

Yesterday was fun. We went to Spokane for the day. The boys needed pants and shoes, 2 things it seems like we always buy =) We went to The Onion for lunch, it was good, kind of like Red Robin, but not as good. We got Don some steps for his truck so I can freakin finally get into it! Now I will drive it more, which makes him nervous lol! One of Patricks bracets on his braces came unglued, so when I got home I cut the rubber band and took it off, so tomorrow off to Moses again agh! I thought we moved to Odessa so I wouldn't have to go to town as often and now I go more =) Oh well such as life! Last night at 2am Patrick came upstairs and about 2 feet from the garbage can he threw up. I cannot handle barf so I woke up Don and he cleaned it up. What a guy!! He was much better in the morning, but instead of my Mom coming with me to get Josh she stayed home and watched Jared and Patrick. Well time to put some boys in bed YAYAYAYAY!! Some quiet time with my sweetie!! Have a good Monday!!

Been a while

I know its been a while. I just have not been in the blogging mood. Today it is 60 outside and it makes me so HAPPY!!! When Jared wakes up we will go for a walk around town. We have been doing that everyday and the boys love it. Joshua is at his Auntie Taras house until Sunday. He is having fun and being spoiled. He has been bugging me since we left to go back, so now he is there and happy! Patrick is having a very hard time with it, he cried so much last night because he missed his brother. All they do is fight, so not sure if he is crying because he has no one to pick on or if he really misses him. Don has been working alot of OT the last couple weeks. Which is so good for the paychecks (when they dont mess them up), but I miss him so much, at least he is home everynight so thats good. Tomorrow is Parkers Pine derby race. He doesn't want to race this year, just show it. So were going to walk down to the Drug store and get his paints so when dad gets home they can sand and paint, they do it together every year. So onto my 100 day challenge, my team came in last this week, but it will be the last week that happens =) I lost 6 pounds this week and feel really good! I have such a great team! Parker gets to go to the spokane sympony next week. He is really excited about that, not sure if he is more excited to see that or to go to the pizza place afterwards lol. Saturday were going to the city, not sure if were heading to Spokane again or wenatchee, we'll figure it out tomorrow, we have some shopping to do!! We finally got our income tax $4500.00 OH YEA!! Pays to have a ton of kids lol!! Were saving most of it, but using alot of it to pay off the few bills we have. It will be nice when we only have the normal bills like house, car, phone etc... Well I am going to fold some towels before my Bear wakes up! Enjoy this beautiful sunny day!!

Sweet boys

Just when you think they dont like you, you see this at school. =) He makes me smile. We just got back from walking around our town. It isn't even a mile long. I SO LOVE IT!! Josh had speech today then we had to go to the PO. Joshua had to push the whole time (jared in the stroller) Tonight is Survivor!! I am loving it! Thats all for today!!

New Day

Ok, I know its been forever! We took off and went to the West side this last weekend, I so needed it, it was alot of fun. We didn't have anything planned except dinner at my dads house, nothing else. I think this is the first time we've went over and not had a ton of people to see. Saturday Don got his hair cut and we went out for lunch, we got to visit Carrie who I so miss! We got to see Ryan and Amanda and the kids who we have'nt seen since they left, and Karla and Joel and the kids and Kevon and Meghan who are now getting married in Jamaica! If it was Bahamas I think we would go, but since we went to Jamaica and didn't really like it a whole lot we'll just go to the big party when they get back! Don pulled his motorcycle out yesterday so when it warms up a couple degrees he can ride it, he has been wanting to for weeks now. Our snow is finally melted, you can see our front yard!! Well we start the 100 day challenge today. My team is 'The Pounders" and we have my dad and Karen on it, were so going to rock this!! Well not much going on, just doing laundry, so much freakin laundry today!! Have a good tuesday!

Sunday

We had SO much fun yesterday! We so needed to just get out of town and do something. I'm bummed because I was suppose to meet up with my long time friend Tera, but we were suppose to get a little snow shower so we didn't want to drive to Tri-Cities, we went to Spokane instead, which is alot closer. On the way we stopped by Dons aunts house Cindy (she made my wedding dress and sang at our wedding) and we suprised her and asked if they wanted to meet us at Olive Garden for dinner, it was a big fat YES! So, off we went to Chuck e cheese. The boys of course had a blast and got as many tickets as they possibly could. Jared wouldn't smile or anything until I fed him lol. Then we went to Target, oh how I miss that store. We had to pick up supplies for Patricks igloo project and Valentines of course. Then we went to the mall and walked around. I love that mall! Then off to dinner. I also love Olive Garden. I was dying to try the new sausage rollitini, ya, I wouldn't recomment it, wasn't that good =( I should of just stuck with my normal, but its ok to try new stuff every once in a while. The salad and breadsticks of course were awesome. We just sat and visited for a few hours, it was so much fun. I really love his Aunt Cindy, she has always made me feel so welcome and part of that family. We planned a camping trip with them, it will be SO much fun!! Then we got home and put boys in bed and just cuddled and talked. Yesterday was such a fun day, just us!

Today my little cousin McKenna is over playing with the boys, they go to the same school. They are all downstairs, except Jared and playing and listening to music!

Thats all for today! Happy Sunday!

Friday

So, Don really has not quit smiling since he got his truck =) I'm glad, he deserves it, he is so wonderful and giving. Had both boys conferences yesterday. Patrick is doing amazing, Parker is doing better. He is working so hard to get that DS back lol! It has been so windy here all week long, but it is suppose to get up to 45 this weekend. HOLY COW!! Don has tomorrow off, I think we may take a trip to Tri Cities and go to Chuck E Cheese for the day, the boys would love that! We thought about going to Spokane, but they are still under snow. Its actually been a real mellow and calm week here. Sorry, but this week our life is boring =)

New truck

So yup, its our truck! We got it Friday night. Its a 2004 F-350, WE ALL FIT!! Which is good because we go in a couple weeks to pick up our trailer and its easier to take 1 car then 2 when we go camping! Its really roomy, I do not like trying to get up, for now I have to use a step stool, its really big, but hopefully we'll change that next month!

It of course snowed all day yesterday, suppose to today as well. Everyone is healed and doing better. Poor Lauren and Andrew, they got hit with a bug that is horrible =( Not much else going on here!! Just wanted to post pics of the new truck!!
