Happy Easter

I love Easter...my sweet tooth really comes out when the Cadbury solid milk choclate eggs with the thin candy shell and the Jolly Rancher Jelly Beans hit the shelf! I wonder where my kids got their sweet tooth from?!? Anyway, every year we go to an Easter egg hunt just south of Idaho Falls and the boys did a great job this year again (more candy for mom!!) Take a look...

Playing Catch up...

Life is so busy...most days I am trying to keep my head above water with working from home, laundry, kids, and everything we do on a regular basis! I find that at the end of the day I wonder what I have accomplished...usually nothing of note; the same mail has been on the counter for two days...the chip crumbs from Heath's lunch still on the table...my couch covered in laundry...my boys still wanting me to play trucks and hunting since they have been asking since 9am. Where is the balance? Where do you find the time? Just a question thrown out in the air...

Happy Birthday Cooper

Cooper turning 5!! I can't believe it...it seems so short a time ago when I had him and now he is playing with action figures and being so smart! I just had Parent/Teacher conference with his Pre-school teacher and she says that he is doing so good. He will have no problem in Kindergarten. He loves school and tells me everyday what he has learned! For his birthday we decided every other year to have a "friends" and this year was family-only. He still made a haul however. We had 2 of the 3 sets of grandparents and several other family members. Cooper loves Batman as you can see. Happy Birthday Cooper! We love you!

White is boring

I hate the few white walls I have left in my house so a few weeks ago while Heath was gone I painted the two bathrooms upstaits. Cooper wanted to help and he did a great job. I love you Coop!

My Poor Baby

Carson ended up getting a nasty case of croup (probably from nursery right??). He was sick for almost 3 weeks and was at the doctor's office 4 times. The first two times I knew something else was wrong because he wasn't eating and I knew it was more than the croup...the doctor (my boss) told me there was nothing that I could do; he looked in his ears and lungs and all was well...apparently. The next day his left eardrum ruptured! The next day (Sunday) we took him to an urgent care and the doctor told me not to feel bad that I had missed the ear infection! I was so mad because I had had him into the doctor twice; the last time just the day before it happened. Anyway...we went through two rounds of antibiotics, 2 weeks of literally no sleep and we are finally back to good ol' Carson. Here are some pics of my baby. Grandma Margy sent him some get well pictures that he started to drag around the house once he started to fill better!

Feel the Love!

I love Valentine's Day! Another excuse for me to eat way too much chocolate. We got the boys a little something since they get a little letdown since there is so much time between Christmas and their birthdays. Cooper got a play-do ice cream making shop and Carson got a book, a coloring book and some crayons. I think the boys liked the Play-do...what do you think!?
