My New Bedding

I have been wanting to update our bedding and found some that I really liked.  The only problem now is that I have to change the entire bedroom, everything is brown, now I need it to be gray.  I guess I need a new project.

Rett woke up and was looking for Dadda.  He pointed at the pillows, Dadda, Mamma, over and over.

He obviously has spent a few nights in our bed.  I am hoping to get a new bedroom set soon too, I just have to decide what I want.  Erica what is the name of the gray paint you used in your Greybull master bedroom?  Nighty night!

Everyday Days

It has been nice to get back to a normal schedule. Laundry, Dora, blogging, mommy school, dinners, practices, just the everyday stuff.  Claire was determined to make some cupcakes using Ashley’s Christmas present (cupcake tin, papers, decorating stuff).  She mixed up the cake mix all by herself.  I was amazed!

She was nervous to use the mixer but she did it just great.  I don’t know why but this makes me a little sad.  Another kid growing up to fast.

Rett  picked out his own shirt, which was Justin’s tractor shirt.  He is eating his yogart and adding salt to it at the same time.  Yum!

We have been happy to stay home and just be us.

Oh DEAR!

Ryan is at it.  I tried to discourage it, well a little, I want to make some progress on this house too.  The basement wall just wasn’t my fist choice.  Beautiful smoothly textured wall….

That is no longer with us.

I am happy to be opening it up, it will be so nice when it is finished…..

Key word there is FINISHED.

Right as he was finishing tearing it out he got the call that we will be shipping potatoes in two days, for the next 6 months.  I haven’t seen him in the daylight since.  YIKES!  I am really nervous as to how long this is going to be torn up.  My poor house!  Hopefully I can find someone who knows how to build walls soon.  Oh dear.

Saturdays = Basketball

We are into elementary basketball season.  Both girls are playing.  I have loved it this year, there aren’t many girls on the teams which equals lots of playing time, and lots of experience.  Emma was looking pretty tired in the second quarter but she got her second wind and lasted the rest of the game.  She likes it, all except the touching part.  She isn’t much for getting close, here is an example;

They are in a huddle, well all of them but Emma.  She is a snuggly girl (with her mom anyway) but she did NOT want to be near anyone, including her friends.  She told me she realizes it and try’s to get close but just cant.  Poor girl.  She had a great time though her friend Serena made basket after basket, we are glad she is on our team!  It is always fun to play against cousins, Emma was talking it up with Megan every chance she got.

Ash played lots too, she is in better shape though and did good keeping up.  She was happy to guard a really good girl and kept her from scoring.  She only fell three times.  Her knees were finally all healed up, but aren’t anymore.  Grandma Telford was there and doctored her right up.  We have games every Saturday for 5 weeks.  I hope we can stand it!

Sunday Shots

Ryan has been working lots, (yuck).  He even worked Sunday and had to miss church, it was weird.  We were happy to see him when he got home.

So glad to have our busy boy back!

Snowmobiling

Ryan got the snowmobile out and gave the kids rides around the yard.  The girls don’t like it when he tips on his side.  Justin loves it when he tips on his side.

This girl loves the snow and is always freezing when she comes in!

We are hoping for a little bit warmer weather.  It has been really cold!

Where to Begin…

I have lots to catch up on on the journaling.  We had  a different Christmas.  (I say different because it is to sad to say “BAD” Christmas, and it really wasn’t all bad, just some bad)  Rett got really sick on Sunday before Christmas and then never got much better.  After a quick trip to the Quick Care on Thursday (27th) in Caldwell told us he had pneumonia, we decided to come home because he was just not feeling good and I thought he would be better in his own bed and on antibiotics.  He didn’t get better over night, actually his breathing was not good at all so Friday morning we went to the hospital and stayed there for three days.

Day 3

He is feeling much better and we are glad to be home. This is just a summary of our crazy Christmas break!  We don’t ever want to do that again!

Rett’s Follow Up.

Rett went back for a follow up appointment, everything looked good.  His lungs sound clear, which is really good.  The Doc just encouraged me to keep him from getting sick, easier said than done.  We have been staying home a lot.  After his appointment we went to get a few groceries…. four carts and two hours later…

100_0917

I haven't been grocery shopping since before Christmas so we were a little low on things.  Hopefully we can “hibernate” a little longer now.

Back At It

We are back at it, school, basketball, dance.  The break just went by in a blur, I am sad about that.  The girls were excited for dance this week.  They have lots of practices and performances this month.

Justin trying to steal her spotlight,

Claire pouting at everyone laughing at her.  I think she may be a TAD bit spoiled.

And Emma.  The big school girl.

Winter Scenes

I don’t know why, but I loathe snow!  I am just not a cold weather person, it is sad.  Ashley is most sad because I never want to go out in it to sled.  I just watch from the window, its much better that way.  These two came up to my window last night.  I am glad they like this snow!
