Logan looking at his new Cousin Kason

Sleeping Kason!

So today started out a boring normal day, till my sister called to find out if we were doing anything. She decided to come and spend the day with us. Yea, Nicole and her kid came to play. So the house got real full real fast. i made Mac and Cheese (homemade) with hotdogs for lunch. And for dinner I planned a Lasagna.

They got here, and Alec went CRAZY. He just had a ball with Jesiah and Kassia. Also, she brought my newest nephew Kason. Yea. they just played all day. On the Foosball table, as well as going outside. They had a blast.



I also have been having a kinda Modbe bash. Modbe is ON SALE!!! most of there shirts re 5 dollars, and a few kinds are 7.50 and 10 dollars. So between me and my sister, and a few friends, we all ordered 467 dollars worth, and like probley 100 shirts or so. So fun!! now when they get here, I will have the privilege of separating them and delivering them. Fortunately they were mostly my sisters, so it won't be that hard. Considering the Cami's and cap sleeve's are usually between 12-18 dollars, this was such a DEAL. Also they had belts that were three for $1.00 AND all there flip flops are $1.00. They have like six colors, so I bought all of them. Heck for $1.00 per sandal, it is a STEAL!!

Pictures of Logan Noah (my nephew) Me and Alec







Yesterday was good, Sacrament meeting was about being a mother, and the different aspects of it. Can I just mention, that being a mother is so rewarding to me. I love it. I love my kids, and yes sometimes I am grumpy, but I want and feel like more children are awaiting my love and support. I just wish we were in a position have more sooner then later. It will be awhile yet before we are able to feel like we can have another baby. But maybe Heavenly Father might have other plans. we shall see.
I forgot to mention on Saturday that I watched Pride and Prejudice (like the long version) all day. It was so fun. I love that movie. Or those movies, on VHS it is like 6 tapes long. On DVD it is 2. But it is still a movie that lasts all day.
For the super Bowl, we were suppose to go to the Peaches for a little shindigs, it would have been fun, but alas, Rodney is going to pick up there truck in the East. They finally bought it, and it is something that he flys there and drives it back. It will be so nice for Lisa to have a car, after Rodney has the truck. So the Super Bowl party is cancelled.
Noah is here today, him and Alec are having fun playing and getting into trouble together. So fun.
A friend of mine is going in for a historcmey (spelling?) on Wednesday, I feel so bad for her. She has endometriosis, and is past the child bearing days. Some girls in the ward, and I are getting together to give her a gift basket and other things.

Saturday

What a day. It feels like I was busy all day, but yet when I think back to what I really did, well it wasn't that much. :) It started around 6am with Alec coming to wake us up. We try to let him know that it is still sleeping time because the Sun hasn't come up yet, but he doesn't believe us. Oh well. Ku got up and went to school this morning, his class was today from 8-5pm, what a long class. But it only takes this class four times to meet, and they are done, and get the credit. So for four LONG days, they get credit. Ku said it is a hard class, but not much homework because most of the stuff is done in class. And doing class this way, I don't see him having to do many outside projects since it is only two weekend. He started the class yesterday, and will be done next Saturday. Wow that is fast.

I signed Alec up for a class at the Rec department for this morning at 9am. It was from 9-noon. He frosted cupcakes, and made different ground hog crafts. He enjoyed it, and I am so glad that I am doing this. This is going to help him to learn to be calm durning his real preschool experience which should start next year fall.

Logan is such a cutie, he just runs around and is always smiling. Not much to report with him. He is such a wonderful and happy baby. Oh wait, he is 18 mths old, he isn't a baby. Oh so sad. Noah came over today, and he and Alec were suppose to take a nap. (in different rooms) but neither one of them wanted to have anything to do with a nap. So after them being in the rooms for quite time for TWO hours, I went up and got them out. I didn't want them to wounder into Logan's room and wake him up.

Ku came home around five, and I had a stir fry ready. It was good, it was a stir fry with pork chop strips, and green, red, yellow peppers. Yum. I love my menu's. We were suppose to go play games with some friends, but they ended not being able to play. So I watched a movie about the Salam Witch Tirals. Not a fun time in American History.

Thursday

Today has been a slow day. Nothing much has been going on. I have still been reading books. I really need to stop reading books. It makes it really hard for me to do much of anything besides take care of my kids. It makes it hard to clean, but I work at it. :) Noah came over to spend time today with us. Alec went and Oh hung out with Annie today, she was with some kids that she watched and they have a four year old Tyler. Maybe he is five. I am not sure, but Alec doesn't really care how old someone is because he just enjoys playing with anyone. Logan slept for four hours today. He went down at 11am, cuz he was so tired, and then he stayed down till around 3 or so. So nice. I got a little nap, in between reading my book. :) Then tonight, I went to a pampered chef party. Only three people including myself showed up. So sad. epically since I do not have any place for any thing to buy, not to mention I defiantly don't have the money for anything extra right now. It wasn't as nice to go to the party because she didn't cook anything really yummy thing. She made a taco soup. it was good, but I look forward to other sweets. Oh well, I came home to my Lasagna that I made for the kids. It was good. Ku went to work tonight. Yea, I think they called him in, cuz he wasn't suppose to work tonight.

Monday

Well it is the beginning of the week. Our weekend went by pretty fast. On Saturday, we went to Mt. Home so we could check on our house, as well as let the person that was buying our Love Sac in and get it. Also, we left Pierre with a friend there, hoping that they would want to keep him. Alas, they called, and decided that they can't have him. so today, I am going to go to Boise so i can pick him up.

Alec can Count to 10 all by himself. this is a skill that he has mastered in the last week. How fun, he loves to count. Now we can tackle the ABC's. Alec and Logan are both feeling well now. Finally Logan is over the cold he got from RSV. He does have a slight cough left, but that is all. He and Alec had good naps yesterday after church. But man, the last couple of weeks Alec has been talking a nap because he has been sick. Now that he is better, we will have to limit his naps, or make them shorter, under a hour Last night putting him to bed was a nightmare. Actually the last couple of nights, it was a nightmare to put him to bed.

Ku and I had the Grigg's over on Friday night to play a game of Cranium, and the girls beat the guys. It was a fun game. Then on Saturday night we went over to a friends house for a small get together. It was fun.

Right now as Ku is at the Gym. He is working hard at the gym, he wants to get back into cage fighting. We shall see.

Tuesday Morning

wow, whenever I read a book, it seems like I can't find the time to blog as well. Just because I like to read so much, and I don't want to blog if I have a good book awaiting my eyes. :) So alas, I started a book on Saturday, and finished it last night.

Sunday was kinda interesting because I had decided when my kids got sick, not to take them to Church. So on Sunday non of us were going to go to church, but my mom suggested that Ku and i go by ourselves. ok...so we went. And it was pretty not normal to have our kids with us. It was so quite, but I really missed them, just like I do whenever i am someplace without them. So Ku and I got home, ad mom was happy to have us back. The kids got pretty rambunctious. So by now, Alec is feeling good. His nose has stopped running, but Logans is starting to run. Oh how fun. So Logan is now the one that isn't feeling well. Not as bad a Alec, but his nose is running. That night some friends invited us over for a game. I left Logan, but took Alec. He had fun, but didn't want to come home and go to bed. I went back to the Grigg's home till around midnight

Monday was a fun day too. This was the last day for Jessiah and Kassia to be here. Mom and Dad were taking them home. Also Ku and I had plans with the Peach's to go to Nampa to play all day. By play I mean we went to their YMCA to work out, and go to there pool. It was fun. Ku and Rodney worked out, and Lisa and I worked out. While the kids were in there play center we had fun on the weights. Then after we worked out, we went to the pool with the kids. That was fun. Alec had SO much fun, just like he always does whenever we go into the water. We went on he slide, and it was a fun slide. It was high, and had a lot of turns and twists. Logan had fun too, he walked around and played in the water. The Chlorine was pretty high in the pool area, so we had to cut our fun a bit short.

Tuesday was yesterday, Logan got a bit worse with his nose. His nose just runs, and runs. So he slept a lot yesterday, and then after a lot of sleep, he played and was happy again. Alec misses Jessiah and Kassia. He kept asking for them. Today Noah is coming over so he doesn't get the Flu. His grandfather on that usually helps watch him, is sick. He has the flu, so krys was wondering what was the worse of the two evils. A cold or Flu. So he is coming over here. Alec will be happy, he so loves to play with his cousins.

Saturday

Picture of the kids playing with legos. Jesiah Alec, and Kassiah really enjoy playing with them.
Logan was just chilling with food at this point.

We today is Saturday, and Nicole is doing well. She called yesterday and told us that her doctor isn't too worried about the new baby (Kayson) getting RSV or Strep because she is breast feeding. So she wants her kids to come home tomorrow. Dad called today He has been out of town, and said that if the kids could wait till Monday morning, mom and dad were making a trip to Boise anyway, and they would take the kids back that day. I still need to call Nicole and let her decide if that is okay. They are going to Boise to pick out new fixtures for there bedroom that is being redone.

The Peaches are coming over tonight. We are going to order Pizza, and watch movies with the kids. It will be fun. They rented George the Monkey ( I think) so the kids can watch that until it is time for them to go to bed. It will be fun.

All the kids are down taking naps right now. At least that is what is 'suppose' to be happening because they got up at 6:30am. Nicoles kids aren't used to getting up that early. But here they are. So it is early mornings with them. Alec is fighting sleep, but Kassiah and Jesiah are both asleep. Alec isn't one that likes naps, but goodness he needs them.

Mom is skiing today. So seriously what would this family do if I was still in Mountain Home? They need me. :)

Crazy Day

So we start off this day with four kids, and well they are all still alive. :)

At 11am this morning I took my two kids in for there well baby checkup, and there vaccinations. Alec got two shots (which included the flu shot) and Logan got three shots (also included the flu shot) I held Logan while he got his shot, and I was too busy with Logan helping him not cry, that another nurse had to come in to hold Alec down for his shots. Now, shots at Alec age is way worse because they KNOW when something bad can happen, and they can TELL you about it. After the nurse left, he was upset with her for hurting him. :( So sad. Now on to the bad news, they both have RSV AND STREP. UGH, what the heck, both at the same time. When neither one of them have ever had either one. So now, that Jesiah and Kassiah, are here, we are washing hands like crazy and using hand sanitizer. I am trying to prevent them from getting these two things. It wouldn't be so bad, but if they do get them, they CANT go home and be with mommy and new brother. Because those two things can be very bad for infants. So I feel so bad. I pray that they wont' get infected with it. This would be terrible for them. Just because then they can't see there new brother for like a week or so. Good news is that my other nephew from another sister isn't infected with either one. So that is good news for Noah.

All the kids did well, they played for the most part together well. They played with tinker toys. And made airplanes, and space ships, as well as swords. Mom Ku and I gave them baths, and brushed there teeth and they all went to bed by 8:00pm. That will be our sanity. The nights without loudness. That will be nice.

I do have a new nephew

The New and impoved Bathroom

Well today has been another early day...ugh, why is this so all of a sudden? I got up early because I thought I was needing to get to Boise this morning by 9am to pick up Nicole's Kids from her neighbor's house. This is where they were staying till I could come get them. Nicole was induced at 7am this morning. As Nicole was on her way to the hospital, she called and told me that I didn't need to be to Boise till noon, so well now I was up. I did get to spend time with just me and Alec, so that made it worth it. But I was again up at five in the morning. Showered and ready by 6. Alec still is pretty stuffed up. The good news is that he is easy to get to bed when he doesn't feel well. Can i mention that putting the boys in the same room was SO much easier then I thought it would be. I think that Alec is easier to put to bed now then he ever was before. i think this could be not only his age, but also because he likes having Logan in his room. And Logan likes it, he just talks and talks till he falls asleep. Alec usually falls asleep before Logan does.

Back to Nicole, she had a healthily baby boy at around 10:45am. Fast I know. But he came out at 21 inches, and 7lbs 10 oz. he was a week early. I took Jesiah and Kassiah over to see them around 11:15 and we left at noon. Nicole needed to sleep. His name is Kayson like Jason, but with a K. How fun is that.

Logan was with me all day, and he had fun with Nicole's Kids. Alec stayed with ku till mom came over after work. So that way, Alec didn't make it to the hospital where he could have gotten someone else sick. I am just amazed that I haven't gotten sick, or Logan, or Ku. What a blessing that we haven't gotten sick. I pray that we don't. We really don't need anyone else to get sick. I am taking both kids in for well baby checkups tomorrow at 11am. I am happy, cuz Alec is sick anyway, so it is just a good timing.

Ku's second class went well. Tonight he went from 4-6. It wasn't suppose to end till 8ish, but 6 is good. he said there wouldn't be a lot of homework for this class, and that will be good to give him time for the other homework.

Happy New YEAR 2007

Wow, is it 2007 already? What a way to begin the year. First of all, the BSU won the Fiesta Bowl. It was such a amazing game. Ku and I went to Nampa to watch the game with our good friends Rodney and Lisa. Rodney is such a Football Nut. He LOVES football!!! He had just gotten a new Large FLAT SCREEN HDTV for Christmas. So I think that maybe he got it so he could watch games better. :) Lisa and I took our two older kids to a movie durning the first half of the game. That way, Rodney and Ku could REALLY enjoy the game. Which they did. Then we came back for the second half, and wow, what a game it was.

Alec got sick at there house. I don't really know what he has, but that was on Monday, and he still is sick. It started off with just a upset stomach and throwing up, but now it is a fever, and diarriah. (I am sure you wanted to know the details) but he is still feeling crappy.

My parents went to the Fiesta Bowl, and had a blast. They were so into the game, I know they were glad they bought the tickets for this game. They went to it, and took Ginger to the game too. Ginger lives in Phenox AZ, so it was a great reason to go and see her, as well as the game. They come home tomorrow in the afternoon. So when they get here, I want the house to be cleaned. Since Alec has been so sick, I haven't been cleaning like I should. But I have been cleaning OUT junk. So that feels nice. There really is something to spring cleaning. If you do it, it won't pile up. I am almost done with Ku's and my room. For now, it is where we will call home.

Logan hasn't gotten sick, but he is such a cutie. the picture that i am posting is a picture of him feeding berries to himself, he did this on Monday. And wow, what a mess he made.
