New Car

Today Jason traded our van in for an SUV. I loved my van but he couldn't pass up this steal of a deal. 2005 Trailblazer 22,000. miles for 12.5, we owed 11.5 on our van that has 67,000. miles on it and the van was a year newer. Jason has a friend that works at a car dealership and he told him he would keep watch for a good deal. He said an elderly couple owned it and they took really good care of it! Well today he called and now we have a new vehicle. I'm sad that I can't carry as many kiddos but on bad weather days they can always double buckle. The school is soooooo far away. Hehehe! I am getting so excited just a couple more days until Natalie and I are off to Disneyland. We need some mother/daughter time. Jason and Tyson are going on a four-wheeling trip at the same time. Father/son time is good too!

I am feeling a little better today....tomorrow will be a new day! My family makes me so happy, I love them so much!!!!!

WARNING....Gross and disgusting post... There's nothing like being puked on!

Yesterday morning Tyson woke up and came into my room to tell me he didn't feel good. I said "sorry you have to go to church because dad and I have to be there". I honestly thought he was trying to get out of going. He has pulled that on me before. So off to church we go. Everything was fine, we came home had lunch and made cupcakes for Grandpa's birthday party. We went to the party and everything went off without a hitch until we started to drive home.....then it happened..... Natalie all of a sudden says, "Dad, I feel sick, really I am going to throw up!" We threw her a plastic shopping bag and said whatever you do make it into the bag, please! She started crying and then it all started. She started. We pulled over right before the freeway and went into a Carl's Jr. to clean up and get some water. We thought okay it's over maybe she ate too much. Back in the car, on the freeway and with Natalie sitting right behind me, we thought smooth sailing from here just 30 minutes until we get home. That's when it happened again. She prjectile vomited all over the back of me and I mean all over me. I am gagging just thinking about what happened. So for the next half hour I was gagging and dry heaving. We get home and head strait for the showers! Sweet hubby cleaned the car. After we put the kids to bed it happened again...Thank goodness it was mostly water, mostly! We put her back to bed with a bowl and told her to try and get some sleep. How could I have known this was just the beginning!

Jason and I watch Amazing Race that we DVR'd it was going to be a good rest of the night right??? We got into bed about 10:30 and settled down. Not 10 minutes later Natalie runs to the bathroom puking again. I had to grab the bowl she filled up gagging all the way to the bathroom sink I said it's okay honey. Sheets in washing machine and everything cleaned up Jason and I laugh a little and crawl back into bed.

5 minutes to 11pm Tyson comes in Daddy Why they always call for him when they are sick I'll never know but I am happy for it. He says I don't feel good. We knew at that point Jokes on us. We yell run run to the toilet. He says I have to poop! Wait I have to throw up. This threw us all of guard. Jason turns him to poop, wait he turns him again to puke. Well the outcome was he got sick in the toilet and pooped on the floor at the same time. I put Ty in the shower and cleaned the bathroom. While Ty was wimpering in the shower I discovered he actually threw up in his bed too. It was disgusting!!!! Another set of sheets to go down to the laundry room. I had to rinse them out because there was so much! Grossed me out! Meanwhile I hear Jason downstairs holding back that gag reflex. After Jason and I got things cleaned up and Tyson out of the shower, the 3 of us were laughing at the hilarious situation with the do you poo or puke senerio. Tyson laughing the most. We put him to bed and layed in bed laughing for about 5 minutes and went to sleep. Natalie woke up about a hour later telling us she needed to poop. She sat there for about 15 min. so Jason got up and checked on her. She couldn't go and instead she puked again! All I can say is I hope this doesn't last for more that a day!!! Off to bed one more time with a gross vomit smelling house! GAG! It has been quiet for a couple of hours, I hope it stays that way!

Tyson on the snowmobile

Tyson w/cousins Ryan and Brandon snowmobiling

Easter 2010

We had a great time at Grandpa's cabin! We also took the snowmobiles out for a few hours. Natalie and Tyson drove them all by themselves. Everyone got stuck at least once! :o)

Spring Break

As most of you know I work from home. (in the basement) My kiddos usually wake up @ 7:30am. It was 7:40 and the house was still silent. I paniced a little because they are slow movers and before they know it it's time to run out the door. They love walking but it does take about 10-15 to get there by foot. I run to the bottom of the stairs and yell...WAKE UP, YOUR LATE WAKE UP WAKE UP WAKE UP! Tyson groggily if that's even a word comes to the top of the stairs and says but mom it's spring break. Oops! Sorry kiddos.

Gangsta Girls!

Natalie, Taigan & Sarah were so cute this afternoon. As I was running up and down the stairs trying to catch up on the mounds of laundry, I overheard them telling boy crush secrets. It was the cutest thing. Then I pulled out the camera ...the rest is history! They made up this funny jingle called Gangsta Girls. Wish I could figure out the video on my camera. It was hilarious!

I hope everyone had a good Valentine's Day! Jason's mom gave the kids some really cute piano bags for Valentine's day. She also sewed Ty some boxers and made Natalie a heart nightgown. I love all her homemade PJ's. We got our kids something other than candy this year. Ty a Jazz jersey and Natalie a Utah jacket. Jason and I went to Down East Home and got ourselves some jeans. Mine don't fit yet, but I bought them as my "goal jeans". They are one size under what I am currently wearing. I am hoping by the end of summer I will be able to fit into them. As for our diet we are done with the shots for now. We are going to focus on exercize and eating healthier. Jason's dad gave him a 24 hour membership. He will be signing up next week.

We finally got a new computer!

It is so nice to be able to blog w/ pictures again. Church was good today. I tried not to cry but I am sad to see Sarah leave. The only picture I could find of her is when Corrine, Sarah, Joanie and I had lunch together. I think Joanie is taking the picture. We will miss you Sarah!

We had a fun day playing with friends and family @ Hollywood Connection.

I really don't know what to blog about I just know I have to write something and maybe as I am rambling something will pop into my head. So I am going to start training for a 1/2 marathon in 3 weeks. I am so nervous but am committed. My husband decided not to run with me, which is okay he has flat feet. If you have them you understand. I am finally able to go to knitting group again. I love my knitting sisters! I am so blessed to have great friends. I love you all! P.S. Doing good on my diet. :o)

It has been awhile since my last post. I still can't post pictures,but I am going to make a better effort logging my family memories. Speaking of memories.... Last week at Tyson's piano lesson, his teacher told him to teach me a song. It was the cutest thing, he was actually teaching me as if he was a piano teacher. From where to put my fingers to stopping me if I made a mistake to go back a couple of measures. I did play it up of coarse. At one point I said " I don't think I can do it." He looked straight into my eyes with a sincere face and said " Yes mom, you can do it, I believe in you!" It melted my heart. It's the small stuff isn't it. I love my children so much, more than they'll ever realize. I am a lucky mom! I have 2 of the best kids in the world!!!! Wait...they are my world. :O)

The Ortho Appointment

Natalie got her space maintainer cemented in today. She will have that for about a year to a year 1/2 depending on when all her permanent teeth decide to grow in, then it's braces! Wish I had a picture, but my stinkin' computer is still broken.

Parents?

So last night Jason was downstairs watching sports while I was on the phone, Nat and Ty were playing in Nat's room. Jason walks up the stairs and says "let's put the kids to bed" So he walks in Natalie's room and they had put themselves to bed. They were dead asleep. I bet they decided NOT to brush their teeth on their own too. This morning I asked Nat why did you guys just go to sleep. She said "we were tired." No prayer, no hugs and kisses, no teeth brushing??? Who needs parents I guess! We laughed about it for a while and then went to bed.

Sickness Stinks!

Our family has been battling strep as well as some viral guck. We are all on antibiotics. Tyson seem to have it the worst. He seriously has had a fever non-stop for about 3 days now. I keep alternating IBprofen/ Tylenol but the fever will not break. Jason seems to think he might have swine flu as well as strep. I'm not convinced of that yet. I know he has something more than the rest of us though. It was such a nice day yesterday, a day the kids would've been able to be outside. I hope we have a few more of those days before winter decides to set in. I won't be able to post any pictures for a while because our home computer died. I am able to post blogs, but no pics on my work computer. I hope we can get a new one soon, or at least maybe my dad will give us one of his old ones. Our hard drive is great, just the motherboard is toast. Today is gonna be a great day!

Darn that tooth fairy trying to tease my son

The tooth fairy FORGOT! What the.... as my kids always say. Bad tooth fairy. I even reminded her on my blog last night. What was she thinking! #@%$! Dad saved the morning and (found a dollar under the blankets) Thank goodness for a kids messy bed.

Virg's and the Tooth

Tonite we ate at Virg's. The best little diner dive ever! Tyson had a tooth that was just hanging, and ready to come out. I told him he might choke on it if it comes out while he's eating, so he decided it had to come out before the food came. He wanted to go to the bathroom to have me try and pull it out. We went into a stall and I am going back and forth, just let me pull it. He was really scared it would hurt. He finally gave in and it came out in a pinch. By the time we got back to the table Jason and Natalie were finished eating and ordering dessert! The tooth fairy hopefully won't forget this time....
