Love Is...

Tregan made this at school the other day. When I read it, It made me smile, and want to cry, at the same time. It is So Typical of him. But Yet, it is so sweet too.

He also made us this.

It says:

Dear Mom and Dad, I love you. I think your the Best Mom and Dad in the whole World. You make me really good food, and you give me video games. You are the Best. I love you more then Call of Duty Two. your the Best!

Dax made us this. It says:

 I love my Mom and Dad XoXo

It is so fun having two, sweet little boys. It makes me happy when they do funny, sweet little things like this, for me. They don't normally like to express their feelings, to me. So it makes me happy, when they make me little things like this. And it is the BEST, when it is totally their personality.

Every Valentines Day. We start out the morning with heart pancakes. This year was no different. I got up early to make breakfast. The boys were supposed to be getting ready for school. I got done making everything, and they still had not came downstairs. So I made them a plate, and went  up to check on them. They were both still in their pj's sitting in bed, waiting for their breakfast. Such silly boys! They crack me up!

For dinner, we always have a candlelight dinner together. We usually have heart shaped pizza. But this year, we decided to have lasagna instead. (Jayson's Favorite). The boys always get excited for this dinner every year. I wondered if they were maybe getting too old, this year. But, No. They were Way excited! Tregan even decorated a chocolate cake for us. After a while in the candlelight though, one of them always gets a little scared, and wants the lights back on. It is usually Tregan. Aty kept turning them back off though. She was having a great time.

I found these plastic heart glasses at the dollar store. And made fun shaped ice cubes, out of lemonade. then we drank squirt.  Dax was a big fan of the ice cubes! Aty was a big fan of the cups!

After dinner, we were all stuffed on lasagna and chocolate cake. But it didn't stop us from having a dance challenge, on our new game.

Dance Central!
Daxton has been begging me for this game since Christmas. So we got it as a family gift for Valentines day. I do not normally give my kids anything other then candy. But, I really wanted this game too. And I figured, it could be my gift from Jayson as well. Of course, he was game on that idea.
It is a Big Hit at our house! Jayson just sits and watches us. He doesn't get into it as much as the rest of us. I don't understand why. It is WAY  Fun! and a Way good workout.

Tregan dancing to Poker Face.
We decided to give them this game on Sunday night, so we could have more time to play. Since Monday was a school night. So we played for hours on Sunday. And then the boys couldn't wait to get home from school the next day to play again. Tregan, who I thought would not be that thrilled about the game. Well, I think he might like it the most.( Almost! )He spent hour,s after school doing this dance, trying to perfect the steps. Then he challenged us all to a dance off. And Well, he won every time. So Funny!

The kids, after our delicious Valentine Dinner!

                                                          I Love my Sweet Valentines!

 I couldn't think of any better way to spend my day, then with these three! And of course, my Honey!

Girl's Night Out!

Me, Nissa, Christa, Angie, Sommer, Danette

This past Friday. I got together with some of my High school Friends. We had a full weekend planned. Dinner on Friday night, stay over at Little America, and shopping in Park City on Saturday. Well, my kids got sick. SO, I just went to dinner instead. I had called and told them I wasn't coming, because Aty was very sick. I felt bad leaving her. But, I was sad that I would be missing out. I haven't seen a couple of them, in years! So at the last minute, I changed my mind. I made Jayson promise me that he would hold Aty all night and take good care of her.

We went to dinner at PF Chang's. Ate a ton of food, and yummy dessert! We caught up with each others lives. And reminisced about old times. After dinner, we went back to the hotel, And talked and laughed for a couple hours more. Before I finally decided I better get home, and take care of Aty. It was so fun to see them all again. I haven't laughed like that, in a long time.

Day Six

We are now on Day 6, of the Terrible, Crappy, Never Ending:

 Sleepless Nights, Raging FEVERS, COUGHING, COUGHING, COUGHING, Stuffy Noses, Miserable, Whining...

INFLUENZA!

I had NO Idea, that it could be this bad! I have heard Flu, I have heard Influenza. I never really knew the difference. We have always gotten our kids their flu shots. And they always got colds, and the barfs anyway. So, This year I figured, "Let's not get the flu shots. We don't have insurance, it will cost alot, and.. They get sick anyway!"

Well, now I am kinda kicking myself. I know they can still get the flu, even if they have the shot. BUT! I don't think they would have gotten it this bad. Who Knows?

Our kids have gotten sick ALOT these past Winters that we have been back in Utah. I don't know if it is the climate change, the smog or what. But we have had our fair share of Everything! Even Jayson and I, have been sick more then ever before. I feel like I have blogged alot about my sick kids. So I apologize. But well, it is part of our life alot. lol! And well, memories right??

On a positive note, It has been almost TWO months since we have been sick. Yes TWO! that is a record for us. So that is good news. I guess it was bound to happen sooner or later right?

So we are now on day 6. Well, 6 for Dax, 4 for Tregan. And I think Aty is getting it today. So day 1 for her.

But the boys are starting to feel a little better. If we could just keep those dang fevers away. Just when I think they are good, and ready to go back to school, the fever creeps back.

So, we carry on. Hanging out in our PJ's, Watching lots of Movies, Playing WAY too many video games. (I am going crazy with this one) And, whining to mom for EVERYTHING, and ANYTHING! This Too Shall Pass... Wish us Luck! Oh, and Health!

I love this picture, it makes me smile. It totally shows how much my boys adore her!

I took these pictures Today, when Aty was supposed to be having a nap. The boys were laying by her, and she was cuddling with them. Then they got silly! It is a good sign, that they are feeling a little better.
