Thursday

Yea, tomorrow is Friday, and Ku will be home. So tired, it feels like it was such a long week.

The girl that came over today name is Carrie, and she brought her two kids. Like I said yesterday, they came over for a play date. It was a lot of fun. Alec sure does like other kids. I would really like to put him in a Preschool threw the Rec department that is 40 dollars a month. I think he would so LOVE it there. I will have to see if we have that kind of money left at the end of this month. Not that this month is a great month to see if we have left over money, same as with December. Alec is Sociable. He just loves to play with other kids. It is so nice that he likes to be around others.

Logan also had fun, the Logan and his friend didn't really 'play' as much as they just hung around each other. So cute. And Carrie, is a really nice person, I really enjoyed talking with her. I am glad I had the guts to just ask her like that. When Ku get back for good from POST, I think we will have them over as a family for dinner. Should be fun. I think we will try to have a play date each week.

Ku called me today, while I was in Walmart checking out the groceries. And when he called, Alec had run off, so I was looking for him, so when he called, I said "can't talk right now, I'll call ya back" click. So when I called him back, he didn't answer. So I may not hear from him again till tomorrow when he is driving back here.

Wednesday

Today has been SO cold outside. Right now it is 19 degrees here in Mtn Home. This morning it was 13 degrees. I hear my heater working, and think about the bill. Oh well. I made a conscience decision to STAY inside today. We didn't go out for anything. Partly because I still haven't looked for a coat for Logan in the coats box in Ontario. Man, what a bad mom I am. I was there for over a week, and never got down to the shop where the boys' cloths are located. I didn't realize it of course till I was back here, and it got COLD. for now, I will try not to take him out. And if I do, well, I will use sweatshirts, sweaters, and some of Alec's older cloths.

Both boys did good today, they took naps, and while they were down, I put up our Christmas Tree and other decorations. After all is said and done, I swear I owned more decorations at one time or another, I will have to slowly remedy that. But the tree looks very good. We got a fake tree from a yard sale this summer, and it was so nice to be able to put it up without worrying about how long it would last, or the needles falling off of it. I think I miss the smell of the fresh tree, but I like the fake one. And I REALLY like the price of it. :)

Ku had a good day, they are still in cars, and tonight they are going out on there night drive. He will let me know tomorrow what that meant, he didn't even know.

Tomorrow I have set up a play date with another mom that goes to the story time. She has two boys around the same age as Alec and Logan. And so I am excited to hopefully get to know her, and her boys. This will be interesting, I hope it is fun.

Tuesday

Today Alec went to his 'preschool' class. It is really just a craft class. It is really fun for Alec, he really likes it. Today they Painted a cardboard boxes that were a maze. The kids had a lot of fun. I enjoyed watching Alec, they were freely painting the outside of the boxes, then they got to go inside and find there way out again. It was really cute, and again I don't have my camera so I couldn't take pictures. But one of the moms did, so when I get the pictures I will post them. man this is hard to live without the camera.

Logan is doing good, he started another sign today. He is working on 'more' and 'thankyou' and today he did a good job a both. Now the bigger one is 'please'. I am confident that he will get that one soon. So now he is signing 'more, thankyou, eat/food, down, all done, milk, and water' what a smart boy he is. He is picking up the signing really fast.

Ku is doing well, they are still working on driving. He is enjoying himself. The biggest thing they are learning today was how to go into a skid and not tip over, at high speeds. Wow, if we could all take this kind of driving class, there might not be many wrecks.

Oh and other big news is that Alec is doing so good at sleeping in his own bed, by himself. And he is letting me turn off his light. For a few mths he was scared of the dark and he wouldn't let me turn off his light. I always go out of his room and ask him if he wants his light on or off. (i only started this when he became scared of the dark) anyway he was always saying to leave it on. But the last two nights, including tonight, he has asked me to leave it off. So cool. I am really excited about this newest achievement.

Monday

We went to the Library for Story Time. Alec had a hard time paying attention to the first book, but then when the second book came around, it was about different animals doing weird things, so he enjoyed that one. It was nice to be back in my routine. Tomorrow will be his craft day, I wish I had my camera, they painting boxes to make a homemade castle, and Alec will have a ton of fun.

I am putting in my order for Body Shop tomorrow morning, so I have been busy getting that all set up, and ready for ordering. I just found out this last weekend that Annie Ward is coming back to Ontario from Korea with her daughter Megan, I am really excited to see her.

Alec picked two new books out from the Library today, and he feel asleep reading them at his quite time. Oh that was nice, both books are about dinosaurs. He sure does love those books.

Logan is CLIMBING everywhere. I turn around, and he is climbing onto something else, like my Sewing table, or kitchen table. Or even the Sink in the Bathroom. Oh man, he loves to climb, I am praying that he doesn't fall, that would be a long ways to fall.

Ku training this week is in the Police Cars. I hope that it will be a fun week, it should at least be fun because it is changing some of the days' monotonous.

We woke up to SNOW this morning. It was fun, Alec did go out by him self without his coat on. I was making my bed, and low and behold he was outside. hehe, it didn't last long, he got cold pretty fast. :)

I'M BACK

Wow, what a long trip. I ended up going for longer then I thought I would. First off, we found out that Grandpa Mairs' was turning 91 on Saturday, and my Aunt was having a birthday party/thanksgiving dinner for him. So Ku and I at first decided that we would stay for that at least. Then found out that Ku couldn't travel from Mtn Home to Ontario, to Mtn home and back to POST so we stayed till today cuz he had to go back to post. He actually went back to Post last night, but it was late after the b-day party was over and I didn't want to drive back that late. So I came home after church today.

Alec's Birthday Party was TONS of fun. I will post pictures tomorrow. Thank you to all that helped make his 'CAR' birthday wonderful. He/ we had a blast. I made a birthday cake that resembled a race track. It was so cute. Then we played pen the light on the car. (Ku drew a car for me). All the kids had so much fun.

Mom and I planned Thanksgiving for our families. I got most of the recipes out of 'Better Homes and Gardens". Our thanksgiving was OH SO GOOD. all the food was excellent. I think that might be our new tradition to create new thanksgivings with new recipes each year. I guess we shall see. We did have most of our 'traditional' food. Grandma Mairs brought her Yams...oh so good. Aunt Dede brought her Stuffing, and of course that was good. Then Grandma Mairs also made her famous (at least in the Mairs family) Eggnog Pie. So good. It is Ku's new favorite Pie. I made my Rhubarb pie. And everyone enjoyed that one. Nicole made this YUMMY cranberry salad, and Krystal made the best Sweet Potatoes, you know the ones with marshmallows on them. Oh so good. Mom made the turkey, which was good. Oh so much good food, I will be working that off for a few days. :)

Before we went to the Birthday party for Grandpa Mairs, we had Mom take some pictures for us, so I could get them onto Christmas Cards. So many people don't know we moved. I want to make sure that Ku's family get them, so they know where we are.

Ku has THREE yes I said THREE weeks left. Two weekends. YEA, i can't begin to exclaim how excited I am. He is doing well. He is so close, that we can both smell it. On the 15th of December is his last day, as well as his graduation. We are both SUPPER excited about it. I am going to send out invites for all who want to attend the graduation as well as the party at our house after wards. Did I tell you I am so excited for this long journey to end. It has been since April that Ku and I haven't lived in the same place. (minus the mouth that we were together here in Mtn Home before he went to Post) But still it has been a LONG year for us. Hopefully we won't EVER have to repeat this again.

The kids so Loved having Ku home with us for this holiday season. They so loved his attention. Alec is doing so good at minding (most of the time) and Logan is turning into a little climber. I will look back at him, and oh he will be standing or better yet Jumping up and down on a table. Oh what fun what fun.

I did go to the stores the day after thanksgiving..hoping to find a DVD player. Ours is going down hill fast. Also I dreamed of a new TV. There were some amazing deals to be had for the TV's but still out of our budget. We hopefully will be able to get something new next year. Ours is going to die soon, at least that is what it looks like.

Funny thing, I just went to upload some pictures for my blog, and oh well, I left them in Ontario. Whoops. Guess I will have to upload them next week, if I can get my camera back.

Wednesday

Well, I am going to go to Ontario Tomorrow. Logan's heater broke in his room, so I need to take it to Ontario to see if I can't get it replace at wallie world, or if my padre can fix it. I will be there till after thanksgiving. It will be a nice break. I need to wake up early, so I can start the bread raising, I am making some bread for my VT ladies. So if I want to leave here by Noon, then I need to start the bread at six.

Alec was a handful today, he has been asking for Tutu all week. It has been two weeks since he got to see her and papa, so he misses them. Not to mention his daily question about Jesiah, and Noah. Oh he is so attached to those to cousins. Logan was a good boy, till he wanted to bang things on the TV. So we did the Discipline thing, and it went off better then it went before. He is learning.

Ku's day was long and boring. The instructor was speaking monotone, and it was a boring class. he went to bed early, like at six. Tomorrow he has a four mile run. Poor guy, he hasn't gotten his MHPD coat yet, so he is kinda cold outside.

Tuesday

Today we got up all excited for the day cuz it stooped raining. Yea. Alec went to his 'preschool' class, actually all it is a arts and crafts for a hour. They made some cute stuff today, I'll post pictures tomorrow. It is a little too late tonight. Durning his class, I usually am going to stay, but today I felt like I could come home for a hour and clean. Well when I got home, my VTers were here waiting to see me. They were suppose to come tomorrow, and had there days mixed up. Oh well, good thing I came home.

I made some more of the Chilli that i made last week. I made it to freeze it, and eat it over the course of a week or so. I wounder how long I can freeze the Chili. Hopefully for awhile. Since on Saturday is the Birthday party for Alec..the big 03...and it is in Ontario. Mom just asked me if would just stay in Ontario till Thursday. So I have to think about it. It isn't my house, so it always feels kinda wierd now to stay overnight. Only weird cuz well, it isn't mine. And I stayed with her for awhile before moving to Mtn Home, and that was fine. But I really like having my own house. Even thought she does such a great job doing laundry... :)

Alec played a bit outside today, and he enjoyed that of course. Logan, well, he was Logan. Just played around a bit. I still don't know what I am going to get for him for Christmas, not much this year, but I do need to figure it out asap. We already got Alec his present, and I know he will like it.

Ku has had a interesting day. He did his practice on the breath test this morning, then tonight the POST had people that were willing to come and get 'drunk' so the guys/gals could practice on them. It was really hard for me to really believe that they would have people drunk at POST, but I guess that they have to, so that they can really practice those skills. Giving the test is a lot of what they do, dealing with drunk people.

Monday

Today has been another Rainey Day here in Mtn Home. It just won't stop raining, and my poor dogs, well they get stuck in there kennel when it rains, cuz when they go outside and come back in, they go STRAIT in to the kennel to dry off. Then they can come out.

We went to the Story Time. Alec loves Story time, so it is nice to have to get ready for something in the day. After Story Time, we came home and Alec and Logan went down for a nap. Oh so VERY NICE. I had time to fold all my laundry, which had been piling up for three days. So I had four loads to fold. I did it in a hour, during Days of our Life. So it was a good hour to waste. :)

After Alec's nap, he wanted to go outside, which it wasn't raining at this time. So I get him all dressed up, with his Coat, Hat, Gloves and Boats. And he is just out there playing around, and playing in the mud which is great...but then I turned around to look at him and he turned on our faucet and the hose, and was spray himself. hahaha, he is drenched and having a ball. I jump up and run to put on my shoes, and go outside cuz by now he doesn't want the water on, but can't turn it off. So I turned it off, and striped him naked, so he can go get more cloths on.

Logan, just played all day. I think he watched Signing Time one time, which was fun, cuz he so loves that show. And then he just played with Alec, and they had tons of fun. Oh except the time I tried to discipline him. he was standing on my floor light shacking it. So I told him no, pulled him on my lap for Time out, and he cried, not liking this game. We did it about four times, before he figured out that he wasn't suppose to shake the lap. Oh don't we love discipline for a one year old.

When Alec was getting ready for bed, he went and put on his jammies, and after we brushed his teeth, I asked him to go potty. So he pulled everything down, but when the time came, he couldn't get it back up. So I started to help him, and oh gosh, this kid had on FOUR pars of Underwear on. I was trying so hard not to laugh. So we fixed this, and he was able to pull up ONE pare and his PJ bottoms. What a riot.

Ku is doing good today. He had DUI classes all day. He studied tonight because tomorrow they have to practice what they learned, which included the practical part of giving a DUI test. You know, the blowing one. So he is doing good, he is finally able to put Logan's seizure out of his head, now I just pray that he doesn't have another one.

Sunday

Church was nice today. Ku was able to stay till the end of sacrament meeting, then he headed off to POST. The kids were 'semi' good during church and Logan was good during the rest of the meetings. I can't wait till he can go into nursery. I usually just sit in the foyer, during Sunday School and RS. Just because Logan is way to busy to stay in one place.

Then we came home, and I thought that they both would fall asleep fast, and maybe I could take a nap too, oh no, Alec didn't want to take a nap. :( so I didn't get one either. But that is okay, I will sleep well tonight, I didn't sleep very good last night because Alec was up most of the night coughing.

Tonight has been quite, the kids went down easily, and that is always nice. I think I will make some of that chili tomorrow and freeze it in my freezer since we seemed to really like it, and the kids will eat it also. It was so much better than the stuff in cans. Yea for Crock Pot Meals.

if anyone...

wants to post a comment, I have made it so you don't have to be a member of this blog, or signed in anywhere. It is easy to comment now. Try it, it is fun!

Saturday Night

Today was a GOOD Day. Ku didn't have to study, and he spent the whole day with me and the kids. He did have about a hour worth of work, but he did that right here on our computer. Yea. We cleaned the house, and I cooked. Yea, I had somebody worth cooking for. Not that Logan and Alec aren't worth it to cook, but they don't appreciate the effort it really takes. We had the Peaches over for dinner tonight. Wow, I wish they lived closer. They did come because they both needed haircuts, and so it was perfect timing to enjoy dinner also. I made a Chili in my Crock Pot. We put it on Rice, and it turned out really well. I am proud of myself that I came up with something that everyone liked. Yea, two thumbs up for Chili. It was so easy, why do I ever buy that stuff. I wounder how long I can store it after I make it. If it freezes easily. Hum...I should really try it. I did of course use ground Turkey, instead of Ground Hamburger, and it was still good.

The Peaches stayed till just a little bit ago. We mostly just chatted with them, and it feels good to have adult conversations on my weekends when Ku comes home. It is a recharging effect, same as when I get to go to church, it makes me feel very recharged. that is when I can actually listen to all of church.

Ku has to leave tomorrow after Sacrament Meeting, his roommate needs help studying for a test that he is taking on Radar. Ku already took this class here in Mtn Home. So he knows the stuff. What a awesome guy he is for always being there to help anyone in need.

Friday

The kids slept till around 8am. Yea, then I got up to do my workout, I only do a 20 min. work out because I really don't have any more time to do any more. That would be because whenever I think I want to work out, my kids think it is time I should be playing with them. So they hang at my feet till I pay attention to them, and not to mention push-up, and sit-ups. With both, my body being on the floor is a invite for them to jump on me, and then continue to jump up and down. So it is a game really.

The missionaries showed up at 10 to do a service for us, they raked our leaves. How nice is that, Now when Ku is home, we don't have to waist our day raking leaves. The kids took a nap around noon, and then they got up. I started dinner, since Ku is home tonight, I made Chicken in the crock pot. Yum.

Ku got home early, and we had dinner at 5. We had the Chicken, and Jewish Sweet Bread, and Corn. Jewish Sweet Bread is his fav, and I feel like I have finally mastered it... at least enough that Ku LOVES it. :)

Ku had his mid-term Physical today, it was FREEZING outside, so that didn't help his mile and a half. But he did well, regardless on everything.

Oh Alec helped rake up the leaves today, he had so much fun being outside. He ran and jumped and played. The pictures are of him really living up the leaf bed.

Thursday

Grandma Dunn showed up at 10am this morning, she was suppose to be here between 10-11. I didn't except her here till 11, so I wasn't completely ready. What a nice change to my daily routine, to do hair. Yay, I hope she liked the perm. I really enjoyed the time I got to spend with her. Thanks Grandma for spending some time with me today.

The kids didn't take a nap today, Logan might have, but he needed a diaper change about a hour into his nap. Alec didn't for the second day in a row, hopefully he will be back on track tomorrow. When he doesn't take a nap, he does go down at 7:30pm, but the next morning, he is up and READY for his day to start bright and early. This morning he awoke at 5am, and didn't want to go back to bed. He did finally around seven, and we all slept till 8:30am so nice. I love getting to sleep in.

Ku did better today with his shooting. I am glad that he is doing better, he is starting to realize that there isn't anything he can do for Logan over there, and he is concentrating on his school again. I am sure that he will do great from now on. Now lets all say a prayer that Logan doesn't have another Seizure, epically while Ku is at POST.

Wednesday

Today I have been feeling kinda like it was a 'blue' day. There isn't any reason for this, but it was the way I felt all day. Which isn't good because it makes me very testy with Alec. And of course he didn't take a nap today, which wasn't good. But he did go to bed early, at seven thirty which was nice today. Grandma Dunn is coming tomorrow so i can Perm her hair, so that is going to be nice. It is always nice to have a break in my routine.

Alec did do good today, even with my short temper. He did have some quite time, and that helped me. But without a nap, he gets really tired at the end of the day. Oh something he did yesterday, that I forgot to mention...since yesturday was SO nice, we are talking about 82 degrees outside, and it is normally 50 something. So anyway, we went to the park after dinner. It was so nice, and Alec got to go outside and play one more time this season. Logan got to play too, and he is getting old enough to enjoy the park. Anyways, Alec decided he needed to go Potty, and so in the middle of the park, on the toys, off the little bridge, he dropped his pants and peed, right there. I tried to stop him, but once he started, he didn't want to stop. Anyway, I guess that is the joys of having boys...gotta break that idea.

Ku had another hard day, he should be enjoying this week because he gets to go shooting a lot, but his mind is just not on his work. It is on Logan..ugh there isn't ANYTHING he can do about him right now. And he is just fine, but I can't get that threw his head. He is only hurting his scores worrying about Logan.

PS:

He did the turkey all by himself, his teacher helped him a little, but he placed everything where he wanted. I think he did a awesome job. Even thought the feathers are usually behind the cup, not under the head. But he had was very creative.

Tuesday

Today is the big Election day. I wasn't able to vote because I haven't changed my drivers licence yet...don't tell Ku. I guess it is against the law not to change your drives licence here in ID after moving here after like 60 days. okay, just kidding, he knows. :)

I registered Alec for a class at the Rec Center here, on Tuesdays from 10-11am. He went today, and made a very cute turkey from a cup and other things. I'll post a picture. He is such a little Social guy, it is so nice that he isn't so into me or himself that he hangs on me when we go new places. He just loved being able to play with the other two kids that were there. He had fun. After there little craft, they had time to just play, and play he did. Later on after dinner, I realized it was SO nice outside. It was 82, so we went to the park to play. Alec had tons of fun, and Logan is getting old enough to play at the park also. He climbed up and down on the slide, and slid down on it all by himself. What a cutie, If tomorrow is nice I will take my camera to the park. I need to get some pictures anyways.

Ku had another long day, some class, and some shooting time. Of course the shooting time is fun, but the class was boring. He didn't get any sleep last night, poor guy. I don't know why, but he went to bed pretty early tonight, hoping to catch up on sleep. They start them off early, at seven am is there first class.

Monday

Well, today has been a fast day. We woke up, I was able to do a small work-out. I only have time in the mornings for about 30 min. so it isn't much, but it always makes me feel like I have more energy threw out the day. Then the kids and I got ready to go to Story Time at the Library. Alec really enjoys this, but today he was having a hard time sitting and listening to the Librarian. But we made threw it, and checked out some books for Alec to read this next week. They are all about Dinosaurs, and he has really enjoyed reading them. The only problem is he loves to 'kill' them during the day, but at night, the are scary to him. Oh well, I have learned to shoot them when he goes to bed, and that has helped some.

After Story Time, I went and signed him up for a hour of fun at the Rec Center. It is just a short class for 2-4 yr olds on Tuesdays, and he gets to do some kinda craft. I don't know if I have to stay, or not, but tomorrow I guess I will figure this one out. I will stay tomorrow, but I don't know if I am really needed. One hour isn't a lot of time to get much done, but I could try. We shall see. I know he will enjoy it. He isn't much into Coloring, as much as he is into building swords with markers, or making a train with the markers. He has quite the imagination. I don't buy him guns, or swords, and we don't have a train...but almost all of his toys, or food, or books can become them.

Logan did good today, he just played and he is getting better about playing with Alec. They will hopefully be good friends.

Ku didn't do as good on his test today as he would like to. It is because his mind was not as focused as it should have been, cuz he always has in the back of his mind about Logan's seizures. I hope he can get over this, because chances are he won't have another, and even if he does, they aren't hurting him, and he doesn't remember them.

Sunday

Well Ku left for Post right after Sacrament meeting. I am glad he stayed for all of Sacrament, last Sunday, his test was big enough that he left right after the Sacrament itself was passed. I even stayed for all of church. I only stayed for Alec, because I myself was in the hall the rest of the time because Logan is a little too active to stay in any class. Oh well, only two more mths then he will be in Nursery, and oh my heck, Alec will be a Sunbeam. The time surely does fly.

It has been raining off and on here for the past few days. Which is okay, except Lawa and Boe can't just go outside without getting muddy, thanks to my mud only back yard. Poor dogs, as soon as they come back into the house, I make them go into their Kennel, so they can dry off and clean off their feet on the towel in the Kennel, and not on my carpet.

We went to the Peaches last night, it was a lot of fun. Man, i wish we lived closer to them. They are such down to earth people. The Rhubarb Pie I made was oh so good. I even made the crust, and it turned out really yummy. Even Ku who doesn't like Rhubarb 'period' gave my pie a 7. Yea, he said the crust was really good too. And this is the first time I have ever made crust, I even had to buy a rolling pin to make it because I didn't own one.

Church was okay, but like I said, I only stayed so Alec could be in Nursery which he so loves. When we got home we ALL went down for a little quite time, but of course the plan with quite time is to go to sleep. It is a little later than normal for Alec to take a nap, but he needed one. I tried for awhile to get him off naps, but that wasn't working very well cuz he would fall asleep around five then not sleep till ten or so. So now I just put him down around noon for a little 'quite time' and he has been falling asleep pretty easily.

Ku is back at POST, and he has another big test this tomorrow, why am I not surprised. I don't remember what this one was about, but he wasn't too excited about it.

Saturday

So today has been a nice day, because Ku has been home. Yes he is still studying, but I would rather he was studying here, then in Meridan. He woke up early so he could go to the PD and do some work there, then he came home around ten, and I went to the store. I had to go get a couple of things for a Rhubarb pie that I just learned how to make. And yes, I am making the crust by hand. YUM. I hope the crust turns out okay, that is suppose to be the hardest part. It will probably be dark, I forgot to put tinfoil on it, so it cooks it evenly. Oh well, we won't eat the crust on the outside.

We are going to the peaches for dinner tonight, I made the pie, and I am also making Jewish Sweet Bread, every ones favorite, thanks Mom. The kids are just loving being in Ku's presence. Right now, we are awaiting the pie to finish, so we can leave. And the kids are watching Baby Einstein. Logan really likes those video's, those and Signing Time.

Friday night

Ku is home, yea...it is not quite 9:30 and he and the kids are already in bed. He is really tired. Poor guy, they kick his butt at POST and then he comes home to a couple of kids that only want him to hold him. Oh well, he is almost down to six weeks. YEA That is such a sweat number. The countdown starts.

So Logan had another Seizure this past week. I talked to his DR. and we are going to get a EEG done, to try and figure out why he has had two seizures in the past six weeks. I am a little nervous, but I trust her. It happened on Wednesday night, and I was by myself, but I recognized it,and the Holy Ghost inspired me to remain calm. I knew he would be alright, but it was pretty scary at first. He is of course fine now, but for that one minute that felt like a hour, it was scary. I am using Dr. Devoe in Ontario. I just don't trust the Dr. here that Logan saw before. She probably is fine, but you just don't trust your kids with ANYONE. It could be anything from not breathing when he is crying, to epilepsy (spelling?) and they may not ever find out what is wrong. And they may find it goes away with age. who knows, right now we are awaiting our insurance to kick in, then we will go get the EEG done.

Alec is doing fine, he just wanted his daddies attention. He misses him so much durning the week. And he is getting excited about his Birthday, the theme is CARS of course. I think that we will get him the CARS DVD movie that is coming out two days before his birthday. We won't celebrate it till the 18th because that is the best time for Ku to be around to celebrate his birthday. I don't think I will be able to wait 9 days to let Alec watch the movie, I don't know maybe.

Ku did well this past week at POST. Next week I guess is just a lot of Firearms training. He should be good at this, oh wait, he is good at everything. Wow, what a awesome husband I have.

Thursday

Well today was kinda a slow relaxing day. I went to the State insurance place to find out if we qualified for the boys to have insurance, and oh what...they lost our application. Ugh, I was a little peeved about this because it was looking like I was going to have to fill out another application. But as I left, they called me and said that it was found...yea. They sent it in by fax I think to the place that processes them, and hopefully by the end of next week I will know yes or no. I am sure it is a yes. We are definitely under the level to have the boys on the state insurance.

The boys are playing in the tub right now, I want to get them ready for bed before SmallVille comes on, and then later on ER. Yea, my favorite nite with TV. They will go to bed around eight, and then it will be my quite time with ER.

Ku is doing well, he did have a practical test this morning, and of course he did good. He did twist his ankle, and the sick station doesn't have any wrap. So he is probably in pain. He will be home tomorrow, so he will get to wrap it here at home. YEA, I am so excited for him to come home. This week has been okay, but it has been a long week.

Wednesday

Well, back from a quick trip to Ontario. And a fun night last night at the Halloween Carnival at the middle school here in Mtn. Home. I went to Ontario on Sunday night to see a good friend of mine that came into town from AZ. I got together with her on Monday morning, for a couple of hours. How fun. She has a ten mth old little girl, and it was so fun to see Synthea. Then after visiting with Synthea, on Monday, mom and I went to Boise to help Grandma and Grandpa Dunn trim their hedges. They had some overgrown hedges, and I spend a few hours trimming them. They looked a whole lot better after I was done. Grandpa Dunn is doing a whole lot better. After his last surgery that took all his infection out of his system, he is walking better, and walking taller.
After trimming the hedges, mom treated us to some POJO'S. A fun pizza place for the kids. Nicole and the kids came over and ate with us. It was fun, we were there forever, like two or three hours.

On Tuesday, yesterday, we left in the morning, and I drove and spent some time with Nicole and her kids in the afternoon. It was fun, then we drove home. Alec dressed up again as a firefighter, and Logan again like a puppy. We went to the Halloween Carnival and did some fun games, and Alec got some good candy.

On Monday Ku had his BIG test which he had been studying for for two weeks. He did really well, he got a 96% and I am very proud of him. His whole class did really good. The average grade was a 90% and this was the first POST class to do that well. Also only one person failed the test, which is unheard of. Usually a lot more fail the test. So this other person is Ku's roomie, and he was helping him pass his retake. Which was this morning, I don't know how he did yet.

So today has been semi lazy, with the time change, the kids are waking up earlier than before, and we need to get used to the time change, so right now they are both taking naps. I might be headed off for one in a few minutes. After we wake up, this afternoon, I am going to a friends house to make a pie. She has a really good Rhubarb Pie recipe, and I want to learn how to make it. I am going to make it and take it to Thanksgiving dinner. YUM!!

The pictures of the kids are the Halloween pictures from our ward party. What cuties!!!
