Wow another week has flown by. Last Saturday started out with Crew being sick again, he slept throughout most of the day and had a pretty high fever. The rest of the week has gone better though.
Sunday I left Hailey home from church with Crew and Cash Crew still wasn't 100% and it is easer to get through church with out Cash crawling all over me and crying. We ended up staying home from Cherri's and having dinner at home since others who were going had sick kids and I didn't want what they have so we just opted to stay here as they don't stay home when they have sick little ones.
Monday, I finely finished folding and putting away all the laundry, just to have it start piling up again for the week ahead.
Tuesday, is our busy day with the boys having scouts and I have Pres. Meeting but my meeting was canceled which is always nice. So we worked on getting Haileys Valentine box done and the kids valentines finished. I had made rice crispies for us and white chocolate covered spoons for the kids teachers with a bag of hot cocoa, the kids did popcorn for their treat this year instead of candy Hailey said she would rather have that then a sucker.
Wednesday, is my shopping day so on the way home from taking the kids to school I stopped at Maceys and then we come home and put that away and get ready to go to Costco I like to go right when it opens so we can get in and out fast. Codey had me get new porch lights they are LED and just stay on from dusk to dawn they are really pretty, they look like lanterns.
Thursday, Happy Valentines day! I had gotten some cute little mail boxes at Target last month that I didn't know what I was going to do with, so I used them for the kids Valentines I decorated the fronts for each of the kids and then put their candy inside and put up the flag. They turned out really cute and kids love them. Then I got a balloon for each of them with a note inside and tied it to the mailbox when they popped their balloons they got to see what their paper said. Colton got a friend movie night, Hailey got a date night with mom and dad, Peyton got a family weekend date, Laike got a no job weekend and Crew got a dessert night. They all thought it was pretty fun. I also went to the school to help in Peyton's class for his Valentines party they played minute to win it games and then I took cake and strawberries and they also made a flower sucker.
Hearts desire, that is what we call our Valentines dinner because we all get to choose what we want for dinner. Codey, Colton and Hailey all chose stake and baked potato's Laike, Crew and I had Cafe Rio salads and Peyton had Tia curry it was all so good after dinner we had strawberry shortcake. Hailey had set the table and put out candy it was really cute. I got Codey a big thing of almond cherry chocolates, and he gave me a a gift card for a couples massage, I can't wait to go and get it. Then it
was off to bed for the kids, and some snuggle time for me and the hubby.
Thursday, Friday and tomorrow Codey is working ten hour days, so he gets home at five. Tomorrow I will be home with just Cash as all the kids have fun plans, the boys are going to the monster truck show with grandma Cherri and Hailey goes to the ballet. And Codey is working maybe ill get my primary things done.

Happy weekend!
Thursday, I went to breakfast with some friends I lived by in PG but have since moved to AF and Orem Jaimie and Luisa, we got together because they both had Birthdays last month. It was fun to catch up with them and talk. It has been heard to leave the friends I had and move here and have know one really go out of there way to talk to you or get to know you at all. I've had a heard time here so far, even getting involved with different things in the ward I don't yet have anyone I could call if I needed anything and just someone to get together with. But, I also need to go out of my way to get to know people to and that is sometimes heard for me.
Friday, I went with Haileys class on a field trip to Midway we first went to the Crader at the homestead then we went to the Wasatch state part and learned about rocks and minerals and then went snowshoeing it was a beautiful day to be out on the snow, I loved the day espeasaily because I was able to spend the day with Hailey and have some fun too. On our way home coming around Deer Creek it was beautiful then we hit the Damn and were welcomed to winter again the wind was unbelievable and the snow was almost like a white out. It took a little longer to get through the canyon because of the snow but we got back to the school just in time to pick up the boys and head home.
Friday night Codey and Colton had a scout caving camp out planned they went up AF canyon. When they got home today they said it was fun, cold, wet, cold and wet Codey brought in Colton's clothes that he had warn to build the snow cave and they were completely frozen. Colton said it was fun, he slept in the cave with a boy in the ward named Sam he said he was really warm, Codey ended up sleeping in his tent. They said the had lots of good food and tons of fun.
I had planned on just hanging out with the kids after dinner and watch a movie and for the most part that is what we did. Kirsten called and asked if they could come hang out because Chris had someone coming over to go through and edit pictures. So we had some burritos that mom had made and then I made fries they were so good. Then we went downstairs and watched Tresure Planet they left around 8:30 and we went to bed. I had Hailey sleep in Colton's room with Laike and Crew so that they wouldn't here Cash cry during the night because I was not going to nurse him through the night. He did pretty good he cried quite a bit but would go back to sleep after not to long. I am hoping to have him sleeping through the night and weened I the next week or so.
Saturday, well today I made sweet and sour chicken for our meal exchange next week, and got it delivered. I also took laundry down to mom and Kirstens house two loads each so that the kids have some clothes for next week. With the washer door broken for a week the laundry was really piling up I think I had eight loads today so to get a few done was better then none. When I got home from the store I found that the new washer door had come so I had Codey put it on and I got the laundry started I am so glad to have it up and going again. Love Codey for fixing it.

HapPy BirthDay CASH!
A year ago today I had my little angel baby boy Cash! That was an awesome day, labor was short and he arrived 7 minutes after arriving at the hospital. What an amazing thing to bring a beautiful child into the world and know that I am responsible to take care of, teach and love while he is here, and with our family. I have some amazing kids Hailey reads and remembers things and mesmerizes thing like you cannot believe, Peyton loves to do math and it really good at it. Colton has this issue with his temper, but then can be so loving and helpful, Laike is getting to smart for his our good and started to tell the kids that they will live with the snakes if they lie or do something wrong. Crew is well he is my baby, and yet he is growing way to fast, and getting so unbelievably smart. And is a smartalec and knows it. Cash he is a complainer and yet I love to sit and hold him and cuddle but he thinks he is so big and is getting to busy to just sit on my lap. He love to through the diapers away, he wants to feed himself, he loves music, loves to play with his dad in bed when he should be going to sleep, he loves Hailey, loves to go up and down the stairs, and loves to drink from a sippy cup just so he can spit it out all over. And he loves his Mom! I can't wait so spent the rest of my life with my beautifully wonderful kiddos. Happy Birthday baby Cash!
Laundry day has come and gone and no laundry got done. I went to do the laundry yesterday and the washer door that was already broken but worked was completely broken I don't know when that happened but the door lock was completely Brocken so there was no closing the door, so I got online and found the door parts I needed and got them ordered. So as the laundry piles up with the 8 of us I am hoping I get the parts by Monday.
Our stake here in Orem has an exercise class at the stake center every morning at 9:15 so since my friend Luisa is in the stake she invited me to go yesterday so I did I am a little sore today but not to bad. The class is step arobics I didn't keep up very well but I kept moving.
Cash got a toy waggon and a singing bear for his birthday he loves them, we'll at least today he did.
Love you baby boy hope you had a wonderful day.

Super Bowls and Migrains
Super Bowls are watched just for the commercials rite? Well I didn't really watch the game at all since I had a migrain. We went over to Cherri and Lynn's I should have stayed home but I thought I had taken enough Tylonal to get through the evening but not even close, and then we got there and and with all the smells of the food and the noise it just got worse, so I went up on the couch and fell asleep I woke up just as half time ended. Then the power at the game went out it was out for about 38 min. So I asked Codey to bring me home. I couldn't do anything after I woke up, we just made it home before I started throughing up, I must have been mentally holding it in so I wouldn't through up at Cherri's house, but after that I started to feel better and was able to lay in bed and get Cash to sleep and even watch the last of the game. The teams were the 49ers and the Ravens every one said that the 49 ers would win but after a pretty close game the Ravens won in the end 34 to 31
Today Crew was invited over to a neighbors house to have a little preschool, he was super excited and had a lot of fun, he colored a picture and painted the letter A then worked on writing his name. They also sang the alphabet song a lot Crew said. But he loved it and can't wait to go again next week.
So we also did our dinner exchange today Shannon had brought over Costco pizza since they are on sale. Kirsten did a crockpot chicken dish mom did chicken burritos and I did home made pizza. It is really nice to think that my freezer is filled with meals I don't really have to do much to fix dinner at all this week which is so nice.

Two baptisms in one day and a Chinese dinner!
We had a very busy day today. Starting it out by making potato soup to take for lunch, then going to the Baptism of two of my nephews Michael and Isaac. Michael chose to wait a month to be Baptized so that he and Isaac could be Baptized together, so we had quite the crowd there today. It was really nice. After we had lunch at the church.
Tonight was our annual Chinese dinner that mom has for her kids so we had 17 people over here for dinner tonight, three of my sister in laws hadn't even seen our house yet. So it was fun to have them all over and have a good dinner too.
Another busy week that flew by, I don't feel like I got all the things done that I needed to but it was a good week anyway. Haileys class ski trip was cancelled this week, but next week she has another field trip where they are going to go snow shoeing and I get to go to it should be really fun.
At least I will finish the week with a clean house, the dishes done, and happy and healthy kids and blessed with a wonderful husband, and a home we are all grateful for.

Shrimp Fry!
Mmm shrimp! I love them, Codey brought me some home today from his Union shrimp fry. He took the day off today to cook shrimp so he was gone for about 4 hours then he came home for awhile then tonight went to the dinner at the Eagales Cafe in Pleasant Grove.
Wow just sitting in bed watching TV I just watched Shark Tank, now I am going to watch Blue Bloods. On Mondays I watch Hawaii 5 0 Tuesdays there isn't really anything on worth watching, on Wednesday I watch Chicago Fire, Thursday Is Person of Intrest. Also on Monday right now is The Biggest Loser.
We go to bed pretty early around here I have the kids in bed by 8:00 and I go to bed too. It is really nice to sit and relax after along day with the kids. Tonight I took a hot shower and then sat in the tub until it got to cold. I have taken a lot of baths since we moved here why I don't know, maybe because Codey has the hot water hoter, or because we have our own bathroom, what ever it is I like it more now. I never really took baths befor.
I need to get a handle on Colton and the attitude he has, every time he speaks to anyone he sounds mad and annoyed and mean. Today on the way home from school I asked him something and he yells back, I have know idea why he is that way. Maybe he really hates me and is doing everything he can to just be around me, because that is how I feel when he is around. He really gets most of the things he wants and is pretty spoiled, but he acts like he is the most picked on kid ever. It is starting to rub off on all the other boys. No one will listen to me when they are asked to do anything, Laikes new thing is to tell me how tired he is when he is asked to put the toys away or help with something. Peyton is getting to be pretty bad he lies and steals things all the time I think he has gotten a little better since we moved here but I know it is still a problem. Then there is Hailey who is amazing with the little boys and helps them with everything. She has even started to get the boys into bed so that I can take care of Cash. She is so cute she will help them get their teeth brushed and then gets them into bed and reads them a story, after kisses and hugs they will stay in bed pretty well. She is my angel and I am so blessed to be her mom. I love her, and all my boys too.

Hello February!
Wow! I am so glad to see January end on a high note, because most of the month was horrible. We are done with everyone being sick all the time, washing throw up bowls out just so someone else can use it, washing endless sheets and towels, and sanitizing anything our hands touch.
The SUN is shining and the day looks wonderful. Happy February!
With all the snow we have had this past week and with the inversion we had gone it is nice to be able to look and see the mountains and take a deep breath. It makes all the different to be able to see the sun shine.
So it's in (the wood stove) and Codey had a little fire last night right before I had craft night here, so through the smelly smokey house and the smoke alarms going off girls night was really fun. We had about 10 of us making Birthday boards (they turned out really cute) with painting drilling and screwing everything together most everyone took home there finished boards. I still have to finish the three I am making. Lindsay is going to come over tomorrow to help me finish mine.
So on this first day of February I can start it out with a clean house since I have been cleaning all week to get ready for last night now I am tackling all the laundry 5 loads to be done. this afternoon I am going to be pre baking 12 Pizza crusts for our dinner exchange on Monday I wanted to get them done so that on Monday I don't have so much to do.
This last Monday I took Laike to the doctor for his Kindergarten check. He had to have his weight and eyes checked and have his finger poked (he did not like that at all) so he was 51 pounds and 46 inches tall, so in both height and weight he is in the 91% for his age. He is a big kid.
Well here's hoping that February with bring beautifully warm days and lots of LOVE around here.
