I am sooooooo tired!



I just want to crash on the couch about every 10 min or so. I hope i can shake it soon, i have alot of stuff to get done.

We went to chelan on tuesday with tom so that he didnt have to be by himself on his birthday and my kids picked me a bunch of "flowers". Boston told me it was because i am "Berry Special". I love children, especially mine.


We are having a yard sale tomorrow over at our rental houses to get rid of all the junk that we cleaned out of the barn there. It was just alot of nastiness, Im happy its cleaned out. Now we are going to rip it down in a few weekends to be able to subdivide the property into more than one parcel. Yay for projects!


I made some oatmeal raisin cookies today for my husband, they are his favorite. I really enjoy baking for him, It makes me feel like im pulling my weight compared to how hard he works i know its miniscule, but at least its something sweet. =)

I took a picture of luke today when he climbed up on the exercise bike. Its pretty cute. I am not sure how he got up there. in the 1st place. Silly boy.

My best friends birthday....

Happy birthday Tom! The love of my life turned 27 today. I went with him up to chelan and while he worked the kids and i went to the super Wal-mart and shopped for some goodies. I left with some not so great snickerdoodles and a loaf of cherry cobbler bread that was pretty good. I took the kids to Blueberry hills in manson to eat lunch and i was not impressed. Natalie even refered to her fries as "sparkly" because there was so much grease on them. Tom and I went out to dinner at the wild huckleberry and I made him a birthday cake. It was a good night. The end. =)

the laziness that is me....


Wow! I am behind!

Ive actually been trying to avoid being on the computer so much. Ive really noticed how much time that i actually spend on it and its too much!
Im really glad that i didnt plant mt plants outside! I cannot believe that it snowed again! Spring! Where is Spring? The kids even helped me do yardwork before we went on vacation, and we come back to snow?!

Well its back to gym on monday at 5am. Crazy? Yes. But its some of the only time that i can actually have to myself kid and husband free.

We had a wonderful trip to California and the kids had the best time ever. It is now Ashlynn's spring break .I didnt make any really fun plans for spring break so now ive got to think of some fun stuff to do with my kiddos. Maybe we might hit the Smallwoods harvest. They love that place. If anyone would like to join us we would love to have the company!

Craziness at home

It sure gets busy around here. The kids just go go go all the time. I am really looking forward to vacation where we can hopefully all just relax.
I really hope that we dont spend too much money while we are in CA. Its going to be really expensive for tom and I with 5 kids in tow.
Oh well.
My kids have just been loving the backyard today. They have been trampoline crazy!
Tom is outside fertilizing the yard. Like all good husbands should =). I love him so much. I am so blessed to have such a wonderful man.

My poor baby boy.

I am so tired. I was up with Luke early this morning at 4 until about 6. Coughing, coughing and more coughing! I gave him his albuterol and everything and it still didnt help. I hate that my baby cannot breathe at night. I didnt want to have to try and take his nebulizer on the airplane but it looks like im not really going to have a choice.
Big R gets all the baby animals in on tuesday and I am so excited to take the kids, they LOVE baby chicks, ducks and bunnies. Its going to make their day. I know that its probably not legal, but i am thinking about getting a backyard chicken coop anyway. Who's going to know? =). I am going to buy natalie a bunny as soon as it warms up a bit more. Ive always wanted one and she has been wanting one anyway. Its just going to kill two birds with one stone =) .

So far so good i guess....

My house is very much on its way to super-cleandom. But sheesh it sure takes alot of work. I am trying very hard not to burnout from it.
I cleaned my room top to bottom and did all the other "catch up" work that had to be done daily. I swept, mopped, and dusted everything and then vaccumed the entire upstairs. It took about 4 hours of work. And i am exhausted! I had to vaccum lucas and boston's room twice. But it is nice to have a really clean house. I dont have to worry about cleaning for company if its already been done.
I filled out the paperwork for natalie to play T-ball this spring. Im excited about it. Im sure that she will have tons of fun.
Ashlynn is going to be on the Clovis Point Drill Team. I cant wait to see her in her uniform. Im sure that she'll be beautiful. I was never a girl for that sort of thing. Once an band geek always a band geek i suppose.

Back from the DR.

Lucas has pneumonia (sp) and has to take steroids and albuterol through his nebulizer. Dr. Kolde also mentioned that 95% of the times that i have brought him in it has been for breathing issues and he wants me to do an anti-dust trial for 3 months to figure out if that is the problem, basically, he wants me to keep my house spotless and dust free for 3 months, um well see if that can happen. I have to vacuum EVERYDAY and dust all the furniture EVERYDAY and but antimicrobial bedding for luke and boston because they share a room. Im not looking forward to it but i will try most anything for the health of my baby boy.
On a lighter note.....Karalee and I made doughnuts tonight and it was really fun. I love to make sweets and having company just makes it so much nicer.
