Baby Animal Days

Maisey and I went with Tami and Lea and their kids to baby animal days. It was raining a lot at first but then cleared up and the sun was shining. It worked out great because there was hardly any lines and Maisey didn't have to wait at all to ride the ponies. It was so nice to spend the day with Tami and Lea! We have so much fun when we are together. Maisey loved the bunnies as you can tell. The boys missed out this year because they were at school.

Mexico 2013

Kevin and I went with my brother Jeremy and his wife Amanda and my sister Amanda and her husband Matt to Mexico from the 21st to the 27th of March. We had a blast!! We went snorkeling in the worlds second largest barrier reef, went to Xcaret, Kevin went deep sea fishing and caught a mackerel, Me and the girls went to the spa, found the coolest sea shells ever, relaxed and had a great time! I am already trying to figure out when we can go back. It was wonderful!

Shingles

Who knew that at 33 you could get shingles! On Monday and Tuesday I was feeling awful. My right ear was hurting so bad and I thought I had a major ear infection. I went to Mountain View clinic and saw a PA and she took a look and told me everything was fine. I knew I wasn't fine. There was a blister on my forehead but I didn't think anything about it. The next day I was still in pain and when I touched my face on the right side it felt like a million needles pricking my skin. I luckily was able to get into a dermatologist who determined it was shingles. He put me on a anti-viral medication to stop it from progressing and some pain medication. I have been in terrible pain and to top it off Kevin and I are leaving for Mexico next week! I am doing better today and trying to get off of the pain meds. My face got a little swollen and I have bumps that hurt behind my ear. For awhile my eye had lots of pressure but that seems to be getting better. My lymph node on my right side has been super swollen but I have been keeping ice on it. It's crazy that two little blisters can cause this much pain! I do feel extremely blessed because I know it could be so much worse!

Trey turns 8

Trey had a fun Ninjago Birthday party with some of his friends and a party the next day with family. He wanted Ninjago legos and money. At the family party he just kept counting his money over and over. He was so happy to have money to buy whatever he wanted. Trey is such a silly boy and we can't believe he is eight! He will be baptized in April and is excited for that. Happy Birthday Trey!

Island Park

We love going to the cabin and have so much fun! We went up there for a really quick weekend last weekend and had a blast! Nothing beats getting the worlds best hamburger, sledding, and hanging out with Matt and Amanda and kids. My kids say they want to live up there they love it so much!

Doing the Dishes

A few weeks ago I found Maisey in the kitchen doing the dishes by hand. Lately she has become my little helper and took it upon herself to do the dishes. I have never shown her how(I know bad mom) but just one day she went and got a towel and threw it down on the counter and started washing the dishes. I told her I would show her how to load the dishwasher but that didn't sound fun to her. Now Trey, Maisey and Wyatt fight to be able to do the dishes by hand. Tarrin is old enough to realize that it is not something to fight about. I know it won't last long so I will enjoy it while I can.

Crazy Weather!

We have had the craziest weather here! A week ago we had an ice storm. Everything was covered in ice, you could barely walk anywhere without falling. It was crazy but I have to say it was really beautiful looking outside and everything was so shiny. We have had a big icicle coming off of the corner of our house that has been growing for awhile now. It came off the corner of our house all the way to the ground and was about a foot and a half around. Trey and Maisey had fun trying to hold a portion of it. Of course Trey had fun taking a bat to it after it was all said and done. Maisey was happy with her ice cycle as well. Fun Times! Because of all this crazy weather the kids went to school two hours late one day because the roads were so bad.
