Jeff is still sick

This is day 6 that he has fever of 104! He is so miserable and sick it is sad to see him like this. Thank goodness he has good guys that have been able to cover for him at the carwash. Jarom has already had it so I pray that the rest of us don't get it! Seth was so cute this morning... as soon as he got in the carpool car he had them call me on speaker so they all could sing happy birthday. It made my day that he was so thoughtful. I guess I am ordering takeout tonight! :)

Thanks Aunt Stacie

For the Webkinz. The boys have so much fun with them and they are a great bribe for them to do their chores. The love them so much that they made a little house/bed for their animals and sleep by them. Now if we can just figure out how to play against your kids. Thanks Aunt Stacie!

So...

Jeff finally hooked up our "new to us computer" and we have sound! It is amazing to be able to hear again. However, he has not been able to find my photo cd to install my pictures ughhhh. I have some cute to pictures to add when that happens... We had a few inches of snow yesterday that was just beautiful, but melted by the end of the day and made a great carwash day today (the best yet!) I really enjoyed our stake conference this past weekend, especially the Sat adult session- this that because there were no kids to struggle with or was it because the session was actually better, hmmm but it is that way every year. Anyway, the adult session had the theme of A Change of Heart. It was so spiritually uplifting and made us really want to do and be better. Then when we came home, we watching Turk's (Jeffs dad who passed away unexpectantly two years ago this month) funeral tape. It was neat because we felt such peace and comfort, instead of pure saddness. For FHE yesterday we had a lesson on the qualities that Turk had and how we can apply them to our lives. He was such an easy going guy, always giving compliments, the life of the party, so fun to be around, full of charity towards everyone, always making others day (even if it is the waitress who he tipped extra high), and just how he lived life to the fullest. We love and miss that guy and want our kids to remember him and how much he loves and adores them. That's all for now.

What's been going on...

No pictures this time. I have been reading the 3 book series of Sarah Prine (thanks Andrea, I am loving them) IT is very interesting and has given me a lot of appreciation of the early Arizona pioneers, from a non LDS point of view. I made cinnamon rolls yesterday that are absolutely delicious! I was really wanting them and glad they hit the spot. So I ran a full three miles today (thanks Kerrianne), it has been a few weeks since I have ran all 3 (2 miles has felt just fine :) and I could really tell, especially since it was a bit nippy outside. The weather is really nice today, but has been raining off and on the last few days. I love the rain, because my hubby gets to come home a little earlier. Jarom sure is talking more now and I love to hear is sweet little voice. Seth is loving basketball and looks forward to every game and practice. Porter is doing great in speech and has really come along there. I was able to scrapbook last week and got some great layouts done and had wonderful company, it was just like old times. That is about all that is going on here!

Hockey Game

We had a blast at the hockey game last night! Our seats were great and the action was packed! The first 4 seconds of the game there were 2 fights, which I could barely watch. I hate fighting and wish they just played the game! The boys enjoyed cheering them on and watching us win! the team has been here for a few years, they are a semi pro hockey team that play in our new event center. We are getting an indoor football team too. I think I will enjoy that a little more than the fighting. It's fun that we have concerts, the circus, and big things that come to our "small town". The blue man group was just here and Alan Jackson comes next month.

After school snack

I caught my boys sitting down to what they chose as their after school snack... a carton of cool whip! Seth and Porter both had spoons inside the carton when Jarom pushed a chair over to the silverware drawer to get himself a spoon to add to the fun. Once Jarom saw that I got the camera out he yelled CHEESE until I came over and took his picture! Oh they keep me laughing!

Seth's first BB Game

It was so much fun watching him play basketball... there aren't really any rules (except out of bounds), they just try to let them learn how the game goes. Each player wears a colored sweat band on their wrist to identify who they gaurd for man to man defense. So it was quite hilarious to watch them travel, double dribble, or just walk down the entire court with the ball. Seth is really quite the baller and even scored 4 baskets! Jarom loves sitting in the stands cheering him on, GO GO he says. Daddy was even able to take time away from the carwash to be there for his first game.

I love THE FIRM

I have loved it since I got it back after Seth was born. I like the fanny firmer and the workouts I have. They have a ton of video's and I only have the three that my system came with. Does anyone else have it and love it?

Porter's Speech

Porter goes to speech at the school once a week for a half an hour with Miss Katie who is so much fun and really good with the him. He gets to do all kinds of fun stuff and even gets to chew bubble gum for part of his homework. Porter has trouble articulating sounds because of weak muscles so we have lots of fun and entertaining exercises he does every night. Every week he gets a new straw and a new horn which both help strengthen his mouth muscles. Some of his exercises are shown in the slide show.

Happy Anniversary

8 Awesome Years Together Jeff and I

and 3 kids later! Oh how time flies and how I am more in love with my babe than I ever thought was possible. We enjoyed a romantic evening together reminicing our wedding day. We went to Olive Garden and savored over the salad and breadsticks, Tuscan Garlic Chicken, and Chicken and Gnocchi Veronese. It was so ummm delicious.
