This is so funny....

(* I have tons of pictures from Aydann's 'performance' from the Dogwood festival. It was so cute watch'n these lil girls dancing. Things have been beyond busy at our house, we got all of our siding delivered. And have started demo'n the old siding. Hmm, I got a story about that one. With pictures. For now you just get my son, being silly, wear'n his sister's helmet, with his finger in his belly button. :) )

Happy Anniversary !!!!

Happy Anniversary to my Dad and stepMom.... Aren't they cute.. :)

Note: I discovered you can set up your blogger to your cell phone. I have unlimited texting, so now I can send (small) posts from my phone. Hmm, wonder if I will actually do that.

Easter 2009

Easter Sunday was a busy wonderful day in our house, Justin had to work graveyard Sat night so he went to bed before the kids and I went to church with my inlaws. Church service was wonderful and both the kids enjoyed their sunday school classes. We came home and had a small easter egg hunt after Justin woke up and Joanie made a Ham dinner for everyone. It was nice, after all the pie and candy I ate I am thinking of attempting two classes at the gym today. But I still feel so bloated from eatting more than my own body weight in food and junk that I don't know if I would make it. :)

I am trying to get organized and ready for this weekend, I can't decide if I want to haul all of my stuff or if I want to kit together a birthday present I need to work on and my mother's day gifts and just do them. I do know that I am seriously behind in Jaxon's album and it needs some attention. I need a clone. Anyone figure out how to do that yet? Our roof is complete and we are (not) ready to move on to our next project. I think since Justin has been nagging me to get a quote on landscape blocks for our window well that that is what is may be. I may plan to be outta town when that happens, since I think he is a little peeved that I changed my mind after the window was in. We bought the well, but after looking at the window's location a well is gonna be an eye sore. I want something pretty. Opps.... :) Sorry honey!!! Ok, I'm not really sorry, because I know it will be awesome when it's done. We have to wait to put in the rest of our window's until the butt ugly yellow siding is torn off, whoever did the 'updates' on this house before was a moron. Their was four layers of roofing, and several layers of siding. So our ghetto window's would be sticking out off the new siding. Jeezzz.... This place is gonna look brand new when summer is over. I can't wait.....

A JuNgLe good Time...

Saturday we had a small birthday party for Jax. Invited just a few family and friends. We had a jungle theme, and I must say I thought it was pretty cute.. I ordered the cupcakes from Daily's Bakery in Asotin and I made the decorations to go ontop and around. My couz Dn'A gave me the idea to have ballons with jute and creap paper hanging from the ceiling to resemble jungle vines. Everything came out so cute. I will put more pictures on my Myspace and Facebook...
Jax woke up the morning of his party congested and cranky. I think finally he is getting his first tooth. Aydann was the same way when she teethed so I am assuming that is what his problem is. The drool is uncontrolable. We didn't buy Jax to many things, but we did get him a pair of Chuck Taylor Converse and some lil Nike's, Aydann got him a lil 'my first racetrack'. She was so excited to wrap and then give it to him. He got lots of summer clothes and some sweet little Old Navy board shorts. He only got one toy at his party, and that was from his Aunt Chell. :) Made me happy, these kids are way to many toys.

Joanie made Jax a little Tarzan outfit to wear at his party, he looked so stinking cute. His lil belly was hanging over his little loin cloth. I laughed everytime I looked at him. Justin and I got him his bday crown. Aydann had a pink one for her first bday so I couldn't resist. It was cheap, and he likes to wear it.

Oh No.. Tarzan ate The Hulk.. or Shrek.. :)

Something special from Aunt Chell, this was the only thing he gave a crap about. :)

Happy 1st Birthday to my Lil Man!!!

Happy Anniversary to my Hubs!!

Who turned on the water?

We had planned in January that this weekend we would be doing our egressed window in the basement and starting on the shop roof. Well in January we didn't think that the last weekend in March would have the crappest weather EVER!!! My parents came down from Cd'A, Ryan and my B.I.L Nate planned on being over, we got the tractor and the concrete saw. And the rain came along with everthing and everyone. And it didn't stop. Thank goodness for some troopers who endured it. Justin dug out the ground for the window at the beginning of the week and there was a huge pile of dirt (that turned to mud!) next to two pallets of our roofing. We wanted to take the chimeny down because it served no purpose and it was built improper. You could push on it and it would move. Totally safe don't you think. So the "tractor boys" tied some rope around the top and the other end to the tractor. I think this was their favorite part of the entire day. Of course they did things the absolute safe way, Nate on the roof to 'guide' the chimeny so it doesn't take out our Avista line. Wouldn't you love to know what that would cost to replace/fix? The chimeny came down in one tiny little tug and made the entire house shake. Scared the crap out of Jax though.

Who's cleaning up this mess? Hmmm not me! I was surprise to see what a mess it made. But Dad and Justin said that it wasn't heavy to move just bulky and akward. I sure am glad to see it gone though, personally I thought it was ugly...

This massive hole in our basement is our new window, I haven't taken a picture of the window actually in yet. I will. I was pretty suprise how much light the new window allowed in the family room. I can't (actually I can) wait for the egress in my scrapbook room. Justin and I are discussing not doing the well and doing landscap blocks instead since the hole is bigger than thought and it does face the driveway. Blocks would be much prettier.

Justin and Ryan spent all day Saturday and most of Sunday doing the roof on the shop. They had to scrap all the old roof'n off since there was 3 layers already. Who ever did work on our house before was kinda lazy. They did things totally half @**. We discovered we have several layers of siding also. So Justin is going to start ripping off that ugly yellow crappy stuff off. If you think our house looks different it does, but not by our choices. All of our new windows are in except one small basement one. I'm excited for the mess to be cleaned up and everything to be done. Justin was sent up on the shop roof to take pictures of what was finished, and him and Ryan got alittle carried away. BIG SUPRISE... so here is a little 'treat' for everyone. Warning, it could make you laught till you pee or throw up a little. :) Justin claims they could start a buisness, he even came up with a really lame title for it. I am not sharing with you what it was though, totally not PG13......

Justin: Ya, I'm talking to you big Daddy!!!!!

Ryan: Who Me?......

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DEZ!!!!

I feel so bad that I didn't post this last night or sooner today. Today is my stepmom's bday. I won't tell you her age though. :) Most certainly young enough we could be more like sisters. :) Naughty Naughty dad.. she is such a great "Meema" to the kids and she is always there when one of us needs her, and is never quick to judge. Happy Birthday Dez.. Love you, Hope that Oregon Berry Cobble was yummy and you are gonna bring me a piece this weekend.... Love ya...

Reward: Missing heart that jumped from my chest!!!

Today started out so early... but it was good, Justin made me coffee then went to the gym real early. I stayed at home planning our Fri. Chell texted me and asked if we wanted to lunch date with our kiddo's at McDonalds. Of course we would go, Ayd loves any chance to play with her cousins. So we got there a few minutes before Michelle and the girls, I let Ayd go and play while I ordered lunch and got situated. After all three girls sat down together to eat, Aydann inhaled her usual MckyD's lunch (ckn nuggets, apples and white milk, ketchup with her nuggets of course) Off she went to play after eatting everything but a few apples. The girls played hard for quiet awhile, when it was time to go I went over to the slide to get my daughter. I noticed her little cheeks were super flushed and her entire face was bright red. I knew she played hard, but didn't see why she looked so hot compared to the other kids who were wearing long sleeves. I naturally felt her face, which was very warm. Chell agreed that she was red and warm, but we chalked it up to her running and playing. We loaded up in the car and drove the 4 or 5 blocks home. By the time I got into the driveway to pick up Justin, Aydann had become very whiney and when I turned around to look at her I noticed her cheeks were red as ever and VERY SWOLLEN. I became concerned why my baby looked like a sudden chipmunk and asked her dad, he took one look at her hands and fingers and said we are going to the doctor RIGHT NOW. He tiny lil hands were swollen huge that if they were my fingers my wedding ring would have had to been cut off. Instantly I became worried and panic'd. I told Justin to call Chell and see what she thought we should do, of course she said what I had first thought. Call the doctor and talk to the nurse. Well of course the receptionist put me on HOLD FOREVER, I hung up and called my dearest friend who said forget calling, go straight there. They gave Aydann benedryl within minutes. She was still flushed and had developed a 'rash' on the backs of her hands. She was still breathing and talking normal. Doc pretty much said that it could have been a sudden allergic reaction to something she has had a million times and it could have been a combo of many different things. I was relieved after seeing him. We have to keep an eye out for this to ever happen again and if she get's puffy and swollen like that again she needs the benedryl right away and we are suppose to take her in. Talk about being scared to death. I seriously had to pick my heart out of my throat by the time we left the doctor.

2 More days left...

Yes I'm one of 'those' people.... :)
