A pretty uneventful weekend...

I forgot my camera the few things we did this weekend... We started off by going to the Snake River Stampede on Thursday night... the boys seemed to have alot of fun. It was Patriot night and they did a really awesome tribute to our military... I was totally choked up watching it. Overall it was a pretty good rodeo.

On Friday I went out with some friends and Josh took the boys out to his mom and dads.

On Saturday the boys spent the night at their Papa Toms and I made dinner for Josh and then we went on a PEACEFUL drive... usually the kids are screaming the whole time in the back seat... it was actually really nice for just Josh and I to go.

On Sunday we watched National Treasure 2... which I loved and didn't get to watch the last 25 minutes of :( Then we went to a BBQ and horseshoe tournament Sunday evening... where I proceeded to get my rear end kicked by a team of 10 year old boys. A tad embarassing... but they were good!

Overall it wasn't a busy weekend... those are my favorite ones!!!

Quitting once again...

So I had quit smoking in January and then had alot of really bad and stressful thing go on in my life the 1st week of April.... needless to say I started smoking again (I will learn to deal with stress another way). So I quit AGAIN yesterday and am doing quite well actually. I refuse to get upset about the fact that I have to keep quitting.... at least I am trying. I really don't want to smoke... as much as I enjoy it when I am doing it... I know the health risks and would love to be able to see my kids grow up and enjoy retirement with my husband. I also hate being so dependent on something... not doing certain things because I can't smoke and so on.

So anyway - I am once again smoke free and already feeling better. I plan to take one day at a time and we shall see how it goes.

4th of July.... 2008

What a long weekend!!!! Our weekend started On Thursday the 3rd when we went over to Marsing and watched their fireworks over the Snake River... that was so fun! That was the first time Rylan had really seen the big fireworks and been old enough to know what was going on. He was a little scared they were going to get him... but mostly it was fun to see his reactions to them.

On Friday we went to the Parade in Wilder at noon and then the demolition derby that evening.... this is the boys absolute favorite thing to do. Josh is very involved in making the derby happen so the boys think it is extra cool to watch. After watching the derby Jace can recite every car and every hit for months... the kid is amazing with the information he gathers. After the derby they had a cool firework show.... the kids then went to grandmas and Josh and I got to go out for awhile.

On Saturday we had a big BBQ at Joshs parents house with a Horseshoe tournament and some fireworks of our own. By this time though I think me and the boys were pretty well worn out... Rylan didn't even get to see the fireworks and he was out!

All in all it was a great weekend... just not much downtime.
