A quiet weekend

On Thursday Josh and Jace left to go hunting... so it was just Ry and I for the weekend. On Friday we met up with my SIL to go get a baby gift for my other SIL... it is crazy I have 2 SIL's expecting right now. There is gonna be lots of new babies in the family soon. Anyway - we went over to town and just mainly "hung out". We both stay at home right now and it was really great to get out of the house. Friday evening Ry and I watched "Alvin and the Chipmunks" and then went to bed early.

On Saturday we baked CC cookies and took them over to Aunt Julie and Uncle Tyrel and spent most of the day hanging out with them.... Julie came over Saturday night and we watched a movie... which I was sorely disappointed with. I thought it would be much better!

It is now Sunday and we really have no plans. Need to get the house cleaned before the boys get home from hunting. Josh called me yesterday and said it had snowed 5" where they are at. He said it is freezing and miserably cold.... but even that won't stop them hunters!!

I love Jace soooo much and I wouldn't trade him or his personality for the world... but man this weekend sure has been easy and quiet!

A Long Long day!

Today I woke up at 4AM in order to get Jace to the Meridian Hospital by 6AM... he had his "surgery" today. He had to have some dental work done and he is TERRIFIED of dentists. So he had to go completely under anesthsia in order to have the work done. Anytime you go under there is risks. I was really nervous but he did great! No problems and we were on our way home by 9:30 AM. He was soo groggy though he was actually kindof funny to watch. We just took it easy today not doing much of anything.

Josh got home this evening from work and he and Jace headed up to go hunting... it is so cold out I was really worried that Jace would freeze but luckily Joshs best friend took his camper so if it gets to cold Jace can go in there. Now it is just Riley and I for the whole weekend... I am really excited for that. I love the one on one time with my boys! Although I get it alot more with Ry cuz Jace is defenitely daddys boy.... I love it with each of them.

And now... I really need to go to bed. Being up since 4 is def. taking its tole on me. I no longer have little babies and am use to getting alot more sleep. So I think it will be an early night for Ry and I!

A good deed?? Not sure on that one yet!

Yesterday, I got a phone call from a co-worker. She was laid off... kind of. Her SIL who she works with, was going to be laid off. So she gave up her job, so her SIL (who just found out she is having a baby) could keep hers (and continue her insurance).This is the most selfless act I have seen in a very long time. It has renewed my faith that there are still those out there who are willing to sacrifice... in BIG WAYS! This was a huge lesson for me! What a great example!

This was written on a friend and co-worker of mines blog. I felt the need to record this in my own since she is talking about me! There is always so much negativity going on in the world this made me feel so good for her to post this about me... I really did not see it as a selfless act... I would hope if things were flopped it would be different. I really try to believe that people will make the right decision in life and this just really felt right. And I really had no desire to work FT (which is what they wanted). Although I think Julie is having second thoughts about staying on and taking on all the work.... i wasn't going to leave her high and dry with no income or insurance. I would not feel good as a person!! And there is not many things I wouldn't do for Julie... she has been a great friend and a wonderful SIL and Aunt to my boys.

Hopefully this is only temporary (they say it is) and I will be back to work in a few months... or sooner if the stress is to much for Julie. But at least I can walk away knowing I made a decision that truely will impact someones life in a positive way.

The ideal me....

The ideal me...Rules: if you're tagged, make sure to add one more ideal "thing" to the list, besides the items that are already there. Be as descriptive and random and silly as you want.

My ideal...

Snack: Apple slices with LOTS of peanut butter (you know so it is no longer healthy) but all the apple slices to myself... no kids taking them and puttting dirty fingers in my Peanut Butter.


Day: Wake up and spend all day with the 3 of my boys... a long drive to the mtns., a picnic lunch and lots of exploring then a nice dinner out on the way home. (luckily I get this day alot)


Book: I love to read... my ideal book is anything by Dean Koontz or Stephen King.

Weather: a nice 70 degree day... in the mtns.

Music: I can't say my ideal music because I love all kinds of music. Maybe something that me and my boys can dance to.

Vacation: with my boys... just up in the mtns. camping where time is not an issue and you do whatever you want. For me and hubby... cruise to Alaska. For me and friends... a few days in Vegas or NYC.

I Tag... noone... i need to get some friends with blogs!!!

What a week....

I haven't posted this week because mainly it has been too crazy! There has been alot of "drama" going on in my life that is extremely unnecessary and quite ridiculous! I am slowly having to learn the hard way to let things go that I cannot change... but along with that comes people too and that is really hard for me to do but since coming to the decision of not associating with complete ridiculousness (is that a word) I finally feel some peace! And it is really great to have a husband who is supporting every move along the way. Acutally I think I am more supporting his decisions.

On another note... We just got some terrible news about Joshs Aunt... she went in this morning to have part of her colon removed as she has been diagnosed with colon cancer and they found it in her pancreas. Pancreatic cancer is horrible... almost always terminal. I am really praying right now that she will be one of the "miracles". It does happen... and i think that is something you need to cling to.

And one more thing... I got the boys costumes today. They are so cute... especially Riley Roo, he is adorable as a little pirate! I will post a pic on here when I get back to work on Monday.

MIL's birthday

Last weekend we celebrated my MIL's b-day... we took a drive up to Silver City area and found this awesome little campground to have lunch at. It was an absolutely beautiful day... couldn't have asked for anything better. We all had such a good time... the boys (big boys) all got to mine for gold and the children played in the creek... you would have thought it was the middle of summer.

Happy Birthday to MIL and I thought I woud post a few things about her that I love:



1. She raised 6 of the most wonderful kids you could imagine... everyone of them is a great person!



2. She gave up everything to raise those kids and make them first in her life... she is probably the most giving and selfless person I have ever met.



3. She is sooo funny.... she will go from one subject to the next in a matter of seconds... but it keeps it entertaining and I laugh all the time around her.



4. She makes me want to be a better mom.



5. She is such an awesome grandma to my boys... she always makes sure they are completely taken care of.



6. She comes over all the time "just to visit" and we can sit and chat for hours.




7. She gave me the love of my life!



Hope she has a fantatstic b-day!!!!!

Uggg...

What a day!!! I woke up feeling kinda crummy anyway... feel like I am on the verge of getting sick! So after picking Jace up from Kindergarten I was suppose to meet my parents for lunch... I decided to stop and get the mail first ( a mess at noon) and as I was backing out there was a huge pickup on the right side of me I looked over my right shoulder and saw noone coming so I preceeded to back up just as I hear some woman yelling watch out.... BOOM... to late. I am really unsure as to what happened... I don't know if they were in my blind spot or had just pulled behind me but whatever the reason was I hit them. Of course it did about double the damage to my rig then it did to theirs... like literally just scratched the paint on theirs. So there I am sitting in downtown Homedale on the busiest road at noon and these people refuse to pull off the side of the road and call the police... I was like seriously!!! I told them lets trade insurance info and get on with it... there is maybe $50.00 worth of damage. NOPE! They call the police and of course everyone I know drives by. The police get there and even they were like there is virtually no damage. In the meantime my kids are totally freaking out, crying and screaming "Why are the gonna call the police... you are gonna get arrested". I called my dad to come get them because they were so scared.

So long story short the police did not cite me for anything they said it was just an accident.. of course the man is telling me how he is gonna get his car fixed and I caused the accident. Blah Blah Blah.

I finally made it to eat with my parents... but what a day!
