This week's update....

I went to lunch with my friend Sally at a little place called Plates and Palates. It was really good, they make salads to die for! I have been craving the salad I had since I went on Monday. I started spring cleaning today, I washed the walls in the bathrooms and the laundry room. I pulled the washing machine and the dryer out and mopped behind them and the fridge and the stove. It is amazing how much dust gets trapped under those appliances! I started to wipe the walls and baseboards in my living room and got half way done and I have lost my motivation! I need to at least finish up the living room even if I don't do any more. This week has been pretty unexciting. It has been really great weather however! I love blue skies and sunshine!! I have parent teacher conference for Noah tomorrow, fun fun! Well, off to go finish up the living room.....

Noah's night....

Noah got to go to the Blue & Gold banquet on Tuesday night. He is not a scout yet but they invited all the future scouters to come. They had a magician there and I think Noah had fun!

Artic Circle

We met some friends at Artic Circle yesterday before preschool. The boys played on the playland. Lukey thought he was so big!!

The kind of beauty I want most is the hard-to-get kind that comes from within - strength, courage, dignity.

Looking back

I am feeling nostalgic. I was looking at pics of the boys and I can't believe how big they are getting! I did find some funny ones!


Noah must be about 4 here, he is so big now!


Ok, so I went to Traceys house and ran in quick to drop something off. I left Isaac in the car. I had just been to the grocery store. I found him in the front seat, with the candy bar unwrapped, and the doors locked. He was around 2 here! Funny boy!


Check out the eyes, Isaac must have been about 1 here.


Look at how little they were....


Here is our Lukey, I remember those days!

Update

It is Thursday so Jason is at his work today! I can use the computer! Luke and I have been fighting a cold this week. Luke has a pretty bad cough and nose. I am just fighting a sinus infection. It is snowing again today and the smog has been terrible. Did anyone watch Oprah Wednesday?? It was about Shlumpadinka Makeovers. I was watching the show in my pj's doing my ironing...classic! Oh, and today I am in my pj's updating my blog.... I think I need a makeover! Ok, well, tomorrow is Friday! I have made it through another week!! I am off to workout while the baby is sleeping!! Maybe I will put on my cute jeans and do my hair when I am done.....

Funny boy...

Luke's new thing is to stick his face in the bath water! He thinks he is so funny!

Presidents Day!

Happy President's Day! I love it when the kids don't have school! I got to go to breakfast with my friend Shelly this morning, it was fun to see her! We didn't do anything exciting today, Noah was at his dad's place today so we just hung out at home. I did manage to exercise though, I am back on my diet as of tomorrow! We went to Walmart and Isaac got to go to McDonalds. Tomorrow it's back to work, school and whatever I do all day....eat chocolate and watch Oprah.....haa haa.....


Here is a picture of me with my boys!

Quote of the Week

I have discovered that life is not a series of great heroic acts. Life at it's best is a matter of consistent goodness and decency, doing without fanfare that wich needed to be done when it needed to be done. I have observed that it is not the geniuses that make the difference in this world. I have observed that the work of the world is done largely by men and women of ordinary talent who have worked in an extrodinary manner.

Happy Valentine's Day!

Happy Valentine's Day!! Love is in the air..... I hope everyone has a romantic day! My hubby suprised me and got me a card this year and of course a gift!! The card was pretty cool though because I have been asking for a card for many, many years! Thank you honey! The Valentine Man hit our house early this morning leaving goodies for the boys! They also got cards from Aunts and Uncles and cousins and Grandma and Grandpa. Isaac had his party at school yesterday and Noah had his party today, I helped at Noah's party. It get's a little crazy with so many kids, I have a headache now. Ok, well I hope everyone has a fabulous day! We are going to go play in the snow and have pizza for dinner!!

Happy Birthday Kae!!

It is Kae's birthday today!! Kae, even though you are 1200 miles away, I am thinking of you! Here are the pictures of the snow! (Kae is needing some proof of all the snow we have allegedly been getting....) I hope you have a fabulous birthday!!


This is Noah at my friend Sally's house. It would suck to have to shovel this driveway huh....


This is Lara at the bottom of her driveway....


This is my house....notice how nicely my driveway is shoveled.....


This is the lower portion of my yard....


Here is our swing set.

Kae, are you a believer now.....maybe you should be grateful you live in Arizona!! :)

Update....

My cousin Jamie called me and scolded me for not update my blog more often. So here I am...Jamie, this one's for you....
I have successfully gained the 5 lbs. back that I lost before Arizona, not to mention I have been eating like crap and not exercising. Jason is working from home all of February and for some reason it throws my whole schedule off. He is down in the office all day where the computer is and the treadmill is... not to mention the basement is where all the kids toys are so guess where the kids can't be either???? It's not like I don't like having him home, it has it's perks here and there but I don't know, for some reason it just messes with my schedule. By the time he goes back to work in March I will be fat and crazy....
We have had a few nice days this week with actual sunshine.....I forgot how nice the sun is....I took the boys to the park on Monday and made them play on the jungle gym in the snow. We have been needing to get out of the house for a long time! We are going to go out with Adam and Marianne on Friday, my mom is coming up to babysit the kids, yipee! Thank you mom!!
