A super fun girls day!

So I will start off by saying I remembered to take my camera with me.... but totally forgot I had it and didn't take 1 picture.... ugg!

Yesterday was my SIL's baby shower... it was alot of fun. She is due the end of Novemeber and does not know what she is having... that always makes it so fun. I didn't know what I was having when I had Jace, it was so exciting. We played games, opened gifts and had really yummy cake!

After we left we decided to get some Christmas shopping in so me, my 2 SIL's, MIL and grandma in law all went to Target... Grandma in law got on one of those riding things and for some reason we really found it comical. I think we all laughed pretty much the whole time we were in the store. It was so much fun.

After that we were hungry so me and 2 SIL's headed over to Olive Garden and had a super yummy dinner.

All in all it was just a really fun day!

The Pumpkin Patch

Yesterday my SIL and I met up and took the boys (hers and mine) to the Pumpkin Patch. They have this really cool little pumpkin patch and corn maze over outside of Marsing. The corn maze was really cool it was interactive and you got clues from Nursery Ryhme characters along the way (although we soon found out those characters were liars most of the time and led us to dead ends). It was alot of fun though. The second corn maze had signs inside of it that told you different facts about the counties in Idaho... pretty cool!

We got to take a hay ride around the farm and with all the fall colors in bloom is was so beautiful and very peaceful. We even got to meet a horse named Riley... My Riley was pretty excited about that.

After all that we got to go into the pumpkin patch and pick out a couple of pumpkins... this is a super hard decision for 2 young kids. But they ended up getting a couple really good ones.

All in all it was a really fun day and I was shocked my 9 month old super cute nephew did so well... it took quite a while to do all those things and not once did he fuss... he is such a good boy!

Not much to blog about

The last 4-5 days I have been soooo sick. I bascially have done nothing but slept. I actually feel pretty good today but man that was one bad flu!! Not a whole lot has been going on... the boys spent the weekend at grandmas and Aunt Julies and then Sunday with Josh... he took them out of the house so I could recoup one more day.

Today Ry had his field trip to the Fire Station and I made sure my batteries were good and charged and then I FORGOT MY CAMERA.... I could not believe it!! It was fun he was a little scared of the ambulance but overall he had a good time.

I do have pics to put on other postings but keep forgetting to get my camera cord from work... hopefully i can remember to do that tomorrow!

If this family has one more medical isssue.....

Yesterday around 4pm I started noticing that I had a dull achy pain in my lower abdomen... at first it was kindof annoying and I really didn't think much of it. But as the day preogressed it got worse and worse. About 8pm last night I had so much pain it hurt to walk and I was also getting incredibly sick to my stomach. Josh and I decided it must be appendicitis and I should go in. About 9:30 we arrived in Meridian at the ER and I was taken back almost immediately. They started running some tests and filled my IV full of anti-nausea and Moriphine. Several hours later all tests came back good and the Dr. told me that there is a really nasty flu going on right now where the main symptom is massive stomach pain. He said it is difficult because it is also the same symptoms as appendicitis. So they sent me home at 2am with pain meds and anti nausea medicine.

So now I am sitting here rather loopy waiting for my Norco and anti-nausea (both make you very drowsy) to kick in so I can get back to bed for awhile. I HAVE had it with medical issues!!

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!
