I'm back :)

I know I know I've been TERRIBLE blogging this year so far :(

I will do my best to sum up the events of my life lately... ok here we go!

Survived going into January with much activity...but just leave it with the highlights! I went on the 8th grade Washington trip with Mitchel. It was truly a wonderful time with him and had a great group of kids, if I would have to describe the trip in one word it would have to be "humbling". I am so glad I went even though I dreaded the 18 hour bus ride to and from... but it was all worth it! Just spending that time with Mitchel will be forever in my heart, he really is a wonderful kid!!

Ok... so what else? We celebrated two BIG birthdays in the house going into Febuary. Issac turned 12 on the 2nd. Had a great day with him. It was the first time since I can remember that he actually cuddled with his momma :) It was kinda nasty on his birthday so didn't do a whole lot, just took him out for supper and opened gifts... and surprised him with a FUNNY cake... it was the only cake I could find... it was "HANNAH MONTANA". It was funny because for years Issac had a "crush" on her... but he made it clear to me " mom, that crush is over" he told me when he saw the cake. LOL!!
Ok so now on to Blade's 5th birthday on the 7th, a day he didn't have school so Jer and I soaked it all up! Spent the day with him and took him for lunch, did a little shopping, got home just before the older boys got out of school, and then took off for
"CHUCKIE CHEESE" since that is where Blade wanted to go. Very relaxed day but enjoyable. I just can't believe he is 5 already!!!!! He's my baby!

Ho hum... so that brings me pretty much up to date. Did you all enjoy Valentine's day? Needless to say I was SICK :( YEP!
I was sick pretty much from Sunday to Friday... Sunday to Thursday I hardly got out of bed :( Thank goodness my hubby was in town and was truly WONDERFUL to me all last week, he made sure the kids got to school, homework done, supper made, etc. He did really good! We did venture out a bit on Thursday for Valentines day, got some lunch and groceries to make my favorite lasagna for supper. It was a perfect day besides the fact I was sick... hardly any voice... nose running non stop... coughing... ya know but it was worth all of it because I was still with the love of my life :)

Jer spent $$ on beautiful roses... and now I look at them and they make me sad :( they sure were beautiful and they bloomed and well now they are going to wilt away soon :( just makes me sad! I will enjoy them until they are gone though.
another great thing... we had a great weekend, Jer took me out of town Friday night, his brother Eric came to stay with the boys... It was a great "PICK ME UP" I'm feeling much better even though I am stuffy and coughing yet but it was just nice getting away.

Ok... this snow crap can go away anytime! SERIOUSLY! GHAD! I like snow for like the first pretty snow fall then thats about it!
After that I can't stand it! When will it go away? We were drifted in... snow all the way past our Hybrid bumper... this is nuts!!
Did not go anywhere yesterday... boys were stuck at the farm until last night... no snow plows went out until 6pm. CRAZY!
JUST GO AWAY SNOW!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Thats all I got for now folks! Hope you are all well.
