what a crew

What a whirlwind of a week. She arrived on Tuesday afternoon and left by Sunday morning early. We spent two day's at doctor offices.(which we got the results and 4 years clear of cancer, woot woot) One day of shopping (Macy's, Dillard's and Ross). One day getting a pedi/mani (thanks Q-nails). There wasn't much time for relaxing. My boys kept them busy during any down time. In fact i think they were exhausted each night. So was I. We ate some good food (thai cuisine, willowcreek, tucanos and some home cooking). Had good company. We picked up Shaydon from preschool. Got nana a massage. Her trip to Boise are so fast, but we are glad to see her and Greg too. Thanks for making the road trip to COLD Idaho. mom your blood has thinned, but we still love you. Come to Idaho anytime we love and miss you!!! Thanks for all you do for us!!!

ps thanks for the lemons, trader joe applesauce & chap stick.

einstein's oilery

So we had a coupon for this place to get an oil change on the car. They say they are fast!! With two kids I was tired of waiting 1-1.5 hours at the dealership. So we gave it a try. We pulled up and they offered us a newspaper and drinks for both shaydon and I. You wait in the car while they work. Slater slept the whole time. There were about 5 guys working on the car and they have camera's all around so you can watch them. Shaydon quickly got out of his car seat and sat on my lap. I don't think we were there 20 minutes. It was a really good experience for a car place and being a women with two kids.

Thanks Einstein's Oilery I will be coming again with my coupon for $19.99

city league

shaydon didn't want to look at the camera, the game is going on MOM!!!

Basketball is in full swing.

We usually go if the games aren't too late.

We are really good cheerleaders.

GO dad #4......

menu board

We make these menu board for our craftapalooza and I liked the idea, but didn't think I would really use it. Shaydon picked out my Valentines hot pink for this month.

Can I just say how much I LOVE it!!!

I only go shopping once a week and never have the dreaded question what are we going to eat tonight. So on Sunday night after dinner we all pick something that we want to eat for the next week and then i come up with the rest. Scott always picks Tuesday night because that is my night to work and he cooks. Not only has it saved time in the shopping and coming up with what to eat. I don't don't spend as much at the store either, I only get what i need for that week. I always made fun of those meal planners and now I am one of them.

shaydon's new best friend, brandon. the last time he saw him he was the age of slater, 6 months!! shaydon wouldn't let him out of his sight. logan was excited!!

love their rooster tails!! made brandon hold slater he was a little nervous, but looks like a natural.

(Oh, by the way brandon will kill me

but he is available and looking for a nice girl)

we had such a fun time in utah. thanks for letting us crash the party of brandon being in town. the kids had such a fun time and wore him out i am sure of it. wendy and dave spoiled the kids rotten, logan played with shaydon, scott relaxed, i enjoyed a trip to ikea and didn't get sick. yeah... we love our late night visits and are very grateful for such great family.

we love you!!!
