Aflac

Jaxon once again and the one liners......

So over dinner the other night we were discussing Gregg's poor sister. Man that has to suck. His little sister was walking down her wood stairs with her 15 month old 'Eddie' in her hands, when she missed the bottom step. She then proceeded to cradle Eddie in her arms and brace for the fall. She saved little Eddie from any injuries but not herself. The poor think broke both of her bones in her lower leg. She was rushed to the hospital where they immediately proceeded to tell her she would need roughly 8 pins. She had 7 pins put in and a metal plate. We felt so bad for her. I was asking Gregg what she was going to do, since I was sure she was not going to be able to go to work for a while. When Jaxon piped up and said (in a totally serious face and demeanor) "Wow I sure hope she has Aflac!"

Happy Valentines Day!

I love Valentines day. I don't know why but I think I just really love all of the holidays! Even though it is mostly a 'girly' holiday we had fun just the same.

We of course started out with the school valentine's parties. Jaxon made the cute little mailbox at school, where all of the kids had the same one that they were able to embellish with their own likes. Jaxon decorated his with an electric guitar that just screams love! :)

Kaden got the opportunity to have the coveted 'hand me down' from papa valentine box this year. Last year Jaxon asked his Papa to make him a valentine box shaped like a his dad's electric guitar! I think it turned out pretty cool and the fact we could use it again made it even cooler!

For the parties this year, I helped out with the snack and stories! My friend came up with the cute snack. We had a 'valentine float'. This was cherry 7-up with of course vanilla ice cream and a red vine licorice to use as the straw! How cute is that?
I made some valentines myself for my own valentines in my life....
Jaxon helped me to get these out...He had a lot of fun being sneaky and not getting caught! He did good and only got caught once out of the seven stops we made (and that only being caught with the help of the ever wonderful nose of Patty the dog!).

Kaden and Zeke were sick.....that really stinks because Kaden had to miss out on his last basketball game and his outing with Dad for the Ute basketball game. He willingly gave his tickets to Nana and Papa who enjoyed their Valentines day!
And as a parent I know everyone knows illness falls full circle....Now Gregg and I are falling ill. And as I type I feel awful and am going to bed!

I do hope everyone had a good Valentines Day!

What are the odds???

I have been horrible this past little while blogging....

Please forgive, it has been a very busy couple of weeks!

What are the odds of having two boys on the same day 13 years apart? Well I think it is safe to say it is a pretty slim odd. However, in my life I seem to get a lot of the really odd percentages rolling over my way.
Tyson my birth-son turned 15 this year and he celebrates his birthday the same day as Zeke our youngest who turned 2!
They celebrated their birthday's on the 9th. We have been going to Tyson's basketball games each week where he plays for his Junior High. It has been really fun to watch him play.

For Zeke's birthday we were having the family over for dinner anyway and decided to give him a little cupcake to blow out candles to. He really blew them out but was a little shy at the 10 adults and 13 cousins watching him. He woke up on Monday with a fever (which totally sucks to be sick on your own birthday) but we were determined not to let it spoil our fun. So we kept him full of Ibuprofen all day so we could go swimming at the SJRec Center.
He is such a skinny little fart! He loved the pool until we came by the dreaded underwater lights! You would have thought it was a monster coming to swallow him up! So after we finished the drift pool Zeke and I got out. It took about another 45 minutes to warm him up to the idea of going in again. But he did an he loved it.
This year he got the cutest little rocking horse, which he found before we could actually give him as a real gift, but he loves it just the same. He thinks he is quite clever that he can rock on the horse with his feet resting on the front (if that makes sense!).

Happy birthday my little monkey!

Motivation

Since it is February and I know it is hard to keep up the motivation and keep exercising. Watch the clip below and get a giggle and then go do some speed walking (and try not to laugh while you are doing it!).

Have a Happy Friday!
