Long Weekend!

After a very long weekend of feeling horrible and having everyone in my house feeling the same way it is time to start feeling better. Seems I just can't beat it. We spent most of our weekend on the couch or in bed. Josh was the sickest this weekend. Although Miranda was far sicker during the week. It was a hard week with daycare kids sick and my own kids sick... I was in a million places at once. I needed more arms then I have. It is so hard... Well Miranda and Jonas are feeling a ton better and Josh is seeming to pull through w/ flying colors!

This weekend Jonas is going to spend the night with his grandma and we will go on Saturday to pick him up and watch our nephew play basketball and then I get to get my hair done. Always looking forward to that. Time for myself. After this long haul with everyone being sick I am ready for some me time... :)

More updates on that later!!

Happy Valentines Day!!!

This weekend was fantastic!!! On friday I laid out a new outfit for Josh for Valentines day. It was the day that I did V-day w/ my daycare kids and each of us had new shirts to wear, plus Jonas had his party at school also. Josh was excited to get some new shirts and boxers. After the daycare kids went home. I watched our friends kids so that they could have a night out for V-day! They have two kids the same ages as Miranda and Jonas. Then on saturday I woke up to a new jacket that Josh bought me and a rose. I was really suprised!!! What a good husband I have. The night before I laid out things for each of the kids for V-day. Jonas got a new Wii game, and flip flops, Miranda got a new backpack and two new shirts and a cinderella pillow case. They were both very excited to find new things when they woke up. Then I went w/ my friend Kim to Salem to pick up her dress for a wedding she is going to be in this weekend. It looked so nice on her. Then we did a little shopping and then headed home. The rest of the evening was the four of us. We went for a walk and then I made dinner and the kids got a movie that we watched together and ate ice cream. It was so neat and we plan on doing it more. Miranda is now at the age were we can do those things and not have her going crazy. Sunday we got up and went to church and then later in the evening we did V-day w/ my parents and also celebrated Jason/ Beth's birthdays. It was a nice weekend. Now I have two sick kids and a long night a head of me....

Tomorrow I go to the doctor to recheck on my back/leg to see if there is anything else we can do... I hope there is an answer.

PAIN!!!!!

So this morning I decided it would be a great idea to slip and fall on some ice.. Yeah for me.. My back hasn't been the best anyway since Jonas was born and now it is even worse. I knew I was in trouble because when i fell I felt a burning sensation running down my leg into my calf. I went to tell Josh and lost it with pain and crying. It was horrible because I couldn't get comfortable anywhere. So Josh told me to call everyone who was suppose to come over today and he called in. We waited until 8:00 and went to Urgent Care because my regular doc doesn't work on Mondays. What perfect timing... I spent two hours in Urgent Care. It wasn't what I had planned for the day... The doctor took X rays of my back and could see why I had been having chronic back pain for awhile. He wanted to keep an eye on things because I am numb all the way down to my toes on my left leg.. Not good. We will see. Now I am on some meds and relaxing. Josh has been great. He just stepped up to the plate and took all my jobs on today and was a SUPER DAD! He has taken good care of me and the kids. Now I am going to get back to icing my back and watch some tv. Time for meds....

Football!

Need I say more??? Long day w/ my hubby watching football!!! Not even sure who is playing.... :) Good luck to who ever is playing and can't wait for all the commercials.

New President!

Well my weekend is over and on to a new week. The kids didn't have school yesterday. Which was really nice not have to go anywhere. Lazy on my part.... This weekend was so relaxing and a lot of fun. It was like a giant slumber party. My friends picked me up on Friday 8 ish and we picked up two more friends and then headed to the beach. We took our time at the outlet mall and had some yummy food. I got awesome deals at the outlet mall. Most of the deals were 50% off of the clearance. Awesome. Then up the mountain we went for the retreat. The speaker was wonderful! Can't wait for next year.
Now onto the new President. I am very excited that we made history and my kids will be learning about this when they are in high school. It gives Hope to many people who didn't think that it was possible. It is an exciting time for many people. I am very interested to see what the future holds for him and see what things will come into effect.
Until next time....

Glasses!

This is the new face of my little boy. Doesn't he look so handsome? Wow, I can't believe that with these glasses he looks all grown up. Here I am writing this post and tearing up. My little man is no longer a baby or a toddler (which he hasn't for awhile but...) anymore.

Jonas needed to get glasses due to him having a stigmatizam (probally spelled that one wrong). It is something that we couldn't have done anything to prevent. When we went to get his eyes checked they told us that he would have to wear them all the time. Jonas wasn't thrilled at the idea. Well today we picked them up and he has had them ever since. He doesn't mind them because they really do help. Man I have noticed a huge difference. He doesn't have to sit so close to things. (man why didn't I notice this before?) Any way cutest kid he is w/ this new super hero glasses of his....

This week has been busy. We are doing swimming lesson. Both kids are doing so good. Miranda feels really comfortable in the water. She is in Parent/ Tot class w/ Josh. She just splashes and actually doggy paddles. Jonas is in a glass this year. He is doing really good and getting the hang of things. Yesterday he went down to the bottom of the pool. He is doing really good putting his face in the water.

This morning I head for a much needed mom's weekend. Our church has an annual retreat every year. I am going w/ some friends and stopping out the outlets for some fun and relaxing shopping (w/ out kids). Nice. Well hope everyone has a wonderful weekend.....

Happy New Year!

I can't believe it is finally here. Welcome 2009! It has been a long year with many ups and downs but thankfully we are all healthy and happy. Last year the year started off with me in the hospital with phemonia and ended with our nephews 1st birthday party. What a year. I am ready for a new year to see what God has instore for us. Jonas has completed a half year in Kindergarden. He is doing really well and enjoying everything there is about Kindergarden. He is starting to read and is getting really good at it. Miranda is working on potty training but she is a lot like me in many ways. And she wants to do it on her own time. Which I am struggling at letting her do because I want it on my own time.... hehehehe. Like mother like daughter! Man mom does this sound like you and me or what. Josh is doing really well in his job and loving every moment of teaching. As for me well same stuff as usually. I have plenty to keep me busy and loving being home with my kids. I wouldn't ask for much more expect maybe that I didn't have to work much but I will take what I can get. :)

Alot has come out of 2008 and we as a family are looking forward to seeing what 2009 has instore for us. Keep reading to see how Jonas ends kindergarden and look forward to 1st grade. And see if we ever get our daugther fully potty trained.... I keep telling myself that she will not be going to college with a diaper on. Although she does tell me that she doesn't want to be a big girl she would rather be a baby... :)

Keep us in your prayers and thoughts during this year.....
