Saturday

Alec is eating and licking frosting off a BIG V-Day cookie.
Logan is also eating the cookie. And of course smiling!
Wow, it is Saturday already. This week has gone by pretty fast. Since Wednesday was Valentine's day, I will talk a bit about that.
The rest of the week, I have been trying not to get sick. I have felt a tad bit on the sick side all week. I have a stuffy nose, so I am thinking that I just have a little cold. It has been so nice here lately. the weather is super nice. It is like 50 something, it is starting to look a little bit like spring time. Which reminds me, I need to go outside sometime and plant the bulbs.

Today I have gotten a lot done. I have managed to hold my cool together the whole day. I even had Noah here also, so I am excited to say that I must be praying for enough patience, because today has been good. I was able to fold most of the laundry, like 5 loads, and I made or should I say prepared dinner around noon. It is chili, in the crock pot, so it was super easy. I always feel so much better about everything when i am able to get dinner ready and n the table when ku gets home from school. Alec had his activity day with the primary today. That is so neat that he is old enough to go to primary activities. He did good, and I have instructed him to behave.

Well off to set the table, and get it ready for Ku. Oh and Nicole isn't having Kason blessed till the first of March. So not tomorrow after all.

Tuesday

As I sit here watching that 70's Show. Hehe, this show just makes me laugh. Anyway as I am just sitting here watching it, I was debating wither or not I was going to post about my day. I was trying to figure out if it was worth it or not. but then I remember that I had a cool experience yesterday. To start off I have starting teaching swimming lessons again. I am teaching a class at 4:45, and also at 6pm. It is fun. I have missed teaching. It just makes things a little tighter because I need to have dinner ready before I go to class. But it is all good. Logan is in my 6pm parent tot class, and Alec is in Level 1.5 at 6:30. I wanted to put him in level 2, but the only class that was level 2 was with a few kids that were like 12 and 13 so I decided to put him in the lower level. He is way better then the other two girls. But oh well. He at least gets to be in the water.

Anyway, when I was done with my first class I was approached by a girl and she knew me from good old Mormon Chic. It was so wierd, and kinda cool that she recognized me from my picture. It floored me that someone called me 'luvmyboys' . hehe.

Today at 10am we went to a play group. It was a playgroup that I went to when I was here before, and it was a group party for Valentines day. Alec and Logan had a lot of fun. I have been trying to go for awhile, but kept forgetting on Tuesday mornings. I don't think I will forget now. I know how much the kids like to break away from the normal day.

Also I guess the last thing that I wanted to say is that a couple of girls and I are starting a work out group. We are going to the gym at the church and taking turns doing different steps. Yea, a work out that is kid friendly. The kids just play around in the gym while we are trying to work out. I did it yesterday at nine am. And tomorrow I am going again. yea, I would like to get a little more toned.

Monday

wow, well this is yet another week. this last weekend was good. I was a bit stressed on Saturday because I was by myself all day. Ku was in school, and it wouldn't have been that stressful but I was bye myself all day on Friday also. Ku was in school from 8-5pm then at 6:30 h wet to a all buy party, where they played x-box 360. Where they stayed till midnight. I am glad he could be there to unwind from a long week of school and work, so it was good. I would really like a girls night out. On Sunday we went to church, then we went to a Superbowl party. We went to the peaches house. It wasn't a big party, just a get together. We had so much fun. the kids really had so much fun. They always have fun. Wish they lived closer. It is a nice release and it makes our day different.

Pierre was put to sleep today. Dad had to be the one to hold him, because there is no way for mom to have been able to handle that. I couldn't have done it. It was hard enough knowing it was being done. I have been kinda blue today, I am sure it is because of this.

wow, friday already

I wanted to take pictures of the kids, so I caught Logan in a smile. then Alec wanted a picture taken, and so I went to take a picture of him. Well, he kept shaking his head back and forth, as well as moving his body back and forth...with a smile. So I told him that if he wanted a picture he needed to hold his head still..... :)

Wow, is it Friday already. I spent the day cleaning up a bit. At least the clutter. I guess it never ends. Logan took a nap today, and he slept for like three hours. So nice. Alec hasn't taken a nap so hopefully he goes to bed around seven thirty. Oh wait, he did sleep for about 5 minutes this after noon in the car. When Logan woke up, I wanted to make cookies, okay just the dough. Anyway, I couldn't because I didn't have any eggs. So when Logan woke up, I ran to the store, and did a couple of other errands.

Yesterday, we found out that Pierre is sick. He has Liver failure. If he went on meds, he would only live for maybe 6mths to a year. And in the meantime, he is getting weaker and weaker. he is bloating right now. He is retaining water. And his muscles are deterating. So my parents are putting him down. He is only 10 yrs old. So sad. the vet said that a dog's life is shorter if he is a purebred, and if he hasn't been neutered. Also, if he is a inside dog. so that is three strikes for Pierre. He is being put down on Monday. My dad has to do it because he is my mom's dog, and she can't handle it.. Ku will help my dad dig he grave.

On a lighter note, I wanted to take pictures of the kids. So I took some of Logan, and Alec. But Alec kept moving his body back and forth, I asked him to hold still, but he thought it was funner to move. So I said "Alec if you want me to take your picture you need to hold your head still." so what does he do? He holds his head still...so dang cute.
