Sweet Girl...

My sweet baby girl has gotten slammed with the same awful head and sinus cold that I had a couple weeks ago. It was so bad, my eyes were goopy, runny nose, barking seal cough, headache, the works.......so she now has it and bless her heart she is still happy and plays with me although we really just sat on the couch and read books today (and when I say books , I mean the same 3 books over and over again, I can now read them blind folded!)
Needless to say I have wiped her nose close to 50 times, but when I was getting ready she came to the bathroom with a tissue in hand pretending to wipe her nose and all of the sudden she blew her nose and wiped it too! She is so advanced......... It was too funny and then she just smiled because I was laughing. I just love my little peanut......
I hate it when my kids are sick but they can be genuinely so sweet.
For some strange reason I have really enjoyed being home this week, well I always do but I got my house all clean when they were sleeping then I got to play and hold and cuddle with them watch movies, feed them there favorite dinners, have a clean kitchen when I go to bed, I accomplished a lot and it feels good. I would not trade this job for anything in the world...
Sleep tight baby girl, mommy loves you......

Music to my Ears!!!!

I just saw the unveiling of the reunion of the New Kids On the Block!! Be still my heart, they were the first concert I ever went to and I actually wore the big pin on my pant leg and made my own shirt to wear to the concert. I think I just revealed what a geak I was growing up but I loved NKOTB, don't tell david but I was going to marry Jon and my best friend was going to marry Jordan and we would live next store to one another! They are going on tour and I would love to go!! I guess the geak in me never really left! Oh oh oh oh oh the Right Stuff.......

Idol Chatter.....

I am a big American Idol fan so I thought I would post my thoughts, scary I know!
I can't believe that Brooke White was in the bottom 3 last night, she is so great and it was Ramielle's time to go and next week it will be kristy or jason and then after that it gets sticky. I think the rest are great, but my favorite is David Cook, he has a bad boy persona about him but then you can see he is a sweet guy, and I love all the arrangements he has done with his songs. Very talented, I hope my kids can get some musical talents instilled in them. Music can be so therapeutic and good for you, I always wished I could play the piano or violin, don't ask me why, it's all I can remember from when I was growing up. So until next Tuesday at 8 p.m. eastern time, I anxiously await there performances.

How it's going to go...

So this is how my blogs are going to go I guess. I will post for 3 days and then forget for a week or two then come back and do it again. Actually my camera was dropped by my sweet son, and it's now being sent back to the manufacturer to be fixed and I am physically sick about it because I missed Hayden's birthday party and easter when my kids were looking oh so cute, and I like to post pictures with my blogs. ......
Needless to say I am sad about it but it will all be fixed. David will bring his camera home from the hospital and we will take pictures tonight of our family party with Hayden, because today my baby boy is 6 years old! I can't believe it, I don't feel mature enough to have a 6 year old in kindergarten, you know?
6 years ago right now I was in heaven with an epidural placed perfectly in my back so I did not feel a thing! I was sleeping and enjoying the peace and quiet before motherhood came and there was no return! I love my bubba (that is what bella calls him). So I hope to have pictures posted in the next few days and then of course you won't here from me for a week or two.

Sunday Crafts....

My blogs just get happier with time don't they? We have been battling a serious case of "diarama"this weekend (that's what Hayden calls diarreah.)
It as been lovely, cleaning up when he does not make it to the bathroom in time, wipeing both children's bottoms instead of just Izabella's. Motherhood is grand this week. Oh and to top it all off, a bloody nose in my bed on my nice white sheets. I have seen more bodily fluids then I care to at the moment. So needless to say I did not make it to stake conference today and I am so sad, we had Elder L. Tom Perry here presiding and speaking and I missed it last night too because all our babysitters were taken from us (not really we were just a tad late in asking them.) I would have gone by myself but David left this morning for Virginia to attend a Head and Neck Anatomy course, basically to play with cadaver heads and disect them and learn all the anatomy of the human head with out the patient bitting him, grabbing his arm, punching him, swearing at him, really it's the ideal patient, so he will be there for a week. Now this gets me to the real point of the blog...............
Grandma "Bicki", sent the kids easter crafts to do this month and we pulled them out because I felt that it was a good sabbath activity (and we were bored out of our minds). Here is a picture of the finished products and Hayden looking much better with a little color in his cheeks that I have not seen in days...he is a pretty cute kid...have a great week....

What happened to us?......

The other night we are sitting at the dinner table, David and I are in our sweats the kids look ragged from a long day and it's 7 o'clock.We both said how we would love to go to bed right now, I looked at him and said "what happened to us?", to which he replied two reasons, then pointed to our children, 1 and 2. Enough said. Someday we will get our cool back , but until then it's sweats and early to bed. Oh to be young (I mean younger) again!!

Life Actually

So I have not been that great at blogging lately , so sorry. Life has gotten the better of me, literally. So we have been battling the flu, last thursday I got hit at 8 0'clock with the pukes and it went on all night long! Hayden came up at 2 and had thrown up all over my couch, so I clean that up while throwing up in the process, now some of you might think well why doesn't david help clean it up? Well just as I was giving back my dinner earlier on in the evening, he gets paged and has to go in and sew up a little old lady that had fallen and help another patient so he spent the night at the hospital so I was left to play musical toilet with hayden the rest of the night. The next day I couldn't even keep pedialyte down, I was on the couch all day except to throw up and play with Izabella and get her food and change her diaper. My poor kids just did not have a mom that day. I am getting a flu shot next year, it was awful, I have not been that sick since I had morning sickness. So now feeling more human, I am fighting a head cold, can't a girl catch a break?
So now that you know all the lovely details of being sick hayden continues to keep me on my toes. Our latest adventure was hayden told me the other day that he had to miss 5 minutes of recess for falling and spilling some food. So not understanding that logic I had him show me what happened when we got home, he went to stand up and fell spilling some lunch and the lunch lady told him he had to miss some recess. Well not being happy with that I went to his teacher the next day and asked her if she was aware of what happened, she said no but I should go to the principal and let her know what the lunch monitor did. So I treked over to the office and spoke with the principal , told her what happened she thanked me and said she would take care of it. Then when I went to pick him up from school his teacher pulled me aside and said we found out what happened. He was having a FOOD FIGHT with his friends!! What, are you kidding me?, his teacher told me the story and said that all the boys involved have been talked to and the principal knows also and it is all sorted out. So feeling so embarrassed and upset, we went home and I asked Hayden what REALLY happened and he fessed up. Needless to say when dad found out, hayden has not watched any TV the last 3 days and has been pretty good. So I now am just going to ask David what shenanigans he pulled in school and just expect that in the future I will be dealing with that. I love my boys.
There is never a dull moment around here. I will try to keep you all more updated with the excitement around here. until next time....
