I am still ALIVE!!!

So, I know I haven't posted in about 2 months, but... YES I am still alive! We are currently homeless and living with the "In-laws" and their internet is SLOW!!!!! Honestly, it takes me 30 min to check 1 e-mail. However, the only excuse I had prior to that was... moving and packing and birthdays and lagoon trips and reunions and fun fun fun. All of the things I need to blog and maybe someday I will, until then when our house is done which was suppose to be mid-July and now the end of July and by golly better not turn in to mid- August, I am just a terrible blogger. Love ya all anyway!!!!

Team Geo Tracks-- All Aboard!

May 13- I know I'm a few days behind!!
Bryce wanted a "Geo Tracks" birthday party, but I am just not a great planner at this point for some reason and I didn't plan anything. He wanted a Geo Tracks cake of Aero so I did my best and it actually turned out pretty cute!! We just had cousins over and they played and had cake and ice cream. It all went pretty well except the 3 boys (Nick 4, Bryce now 4, and Seth 3) all disappeared and were playing SOOOO nice in Bryce's room for about 30 min. It was all too good to be true however and we found his bed, dresser, and blinds all colored very nicely in pencil (luckily). It was pretty funny because it said N I C K all over, but Nick was pretty sure it was just Bryce and Seth that did it!!! Bryce was very excited he got "Grand Central Station" with Aero and Eric. Which he told us was "Just what he wanted!" I love that it is so easy to please a 4 year old! I can't believe my little boy is growing up so fast! He is so fun to have around, he says the funniest things and is always making me laugh! His latest thing is "What the heck!" followed by a little Bryce giggle. He is such a sweet boy who loves his brother but just has trouble showing it at times! I'm hoping that now that he is 4 we will be DONE with the HORRIBLE 3's!!! Yeah!!!

Super Fun "FUN RUN"

Those are some words I never thought would come out of my mouth! Yesterday was the annual Preston Hospital 5K Fun Run/"Walk" and Hayden and Jared were so excited that I kinda got roped into it too. It actually wasn't that bad, I can say that because I only WALKED it with Tara (my sister in law) and we were very proud that we were not last! Our time was 40 minutes which considering we DIDN'T run we were walking along at a pretty brisk pace. I am VERY proud of both HAYDEN and JARED however. It was Jared's first "offical" 5K and he ran it in 20 min 58 sec! WOW! I would have died!! (That is just under a 7 min/mile average.) Hayden and her cousin Connor did the 1 mile run. She is pretty fast herself (she must take after her Dad) She ran it in 8min 4 sec! I don't think I have ever run a mile that fast! She took 5 place of all the runners the sad part was that the first 3 people where all 3 girls in her age group of 7-12 and then her cousin Conner beat her by 2 seconds. She did feel a little better when I told her that she beat the 2 boys who got 2nd and 3rd and Jared also gave her his medal and that helped. Jared is going to have her out at the track before too long he thinks he has found a cheap way to pay for college (He-he-he!)

It just keeps getting better!

Okay, so I know you were all jealous when you heard about the Nascar parties, well this is even better. A bunch of kids (you know they're in their 20's--kids) moved in next door and yes... they have a band!!! Jared heard them jammin' out today and when I got home from work I even got a small sampling of their tunes!!! NICE!!! I am trying to get Jared to go ask them if they need anyone to play the COW BELL. We will let you know if there are any up coming jam sessions. Who knows maybe the neighbors will hear them and invite them over to play at one of the weekend pre-race parties! It is just the best living in IDAHO!!!

My New Do!

Here is the picture of my "New Do" as requested. Picture courtesy of Hayden Photography and she thought it looked good crooked!

A new you!

Isn't it amazing how you can kinda be in a "rut" and then you get your hair cut and wow you feel like a new person who can actually make it through the day. I know that is silly, but I just love to have my hair done by someone else! Obviously I had my hair cut today by my good friend Jen who is amazing and I feel really bad that I haven't hung out with her more since I have moved back. I called Jared on my way home and told him that I had cut it all off and he said "That's fine, as long as you didn't get a perm too." He still makes fun of me because I got a REALLY bad perm just after we were married. But my hair story isn't quite as interesting as Dawn's, I actually just got a trim and bangs which I guess was what Dawn was going for. (He-He-He) So this post is rather random, I was just excited to once again have a little time away from the crazy kids! Poor Jared, I am working the next two days so he is going to be getting a lot of Daddy time. (something that is not working in my favor of getting #4- which is still up for debate on my part too!)

What a SUPER fun weekend!!!

So I just had the best weekend! It was LOTS of fun. On Friday Darci and I went to the Scrapbook Expo. (Can you say Crazy Ladies!!!! I thought I was into scrapbooking!) It was tons of fun. Lots of fun things to buy and I even got a few pages done. Most of all it was just fun hanging out with Darci and her family (thanks for letting me tag along!)

Then Friday night, I went to Dinner with "My Chewbi's" (it's kinda a long story!) from high school. I haven't laughed so hard in a long time. I went with Jen, Jed, and Katie (and her cute little Zoe). We talked for over 2 hours and like I said it was highly entertaining. It was so fun to just catch up and remember all of the CRAZY things we did in high school. It is actually very sad that it has been so long since we have hung out and seen each other like that. It is definitely something I would love to do more often. (I stole this picture from Jen's blog-thanks, cause I forgot my camera, also I love the scraping pony tail I am sporting!!)

Poor Jared it was actually his birthday this Sunday and I was the one out having all of the fun! He is so sweet, he stayed home with the "crazies" while I went out on the town. It was a much needed break and he is just too sweet that he didn't even complain!!!
