We got invited to our neighbor friend's birthday party at a trampoline place. SO FUN! We are definitely going back. HAPPY Birthday Landon!
We also went to a cousin's birthday party. We love that we live closer to Danny's sister so Memphis and Kayzee can play with their cousins. HAPPY Birthday May Lynn!
Kayzee and I so desperately needed our hair cut! Kayzee's was almost down to her waist and I was getting sick of combing snarls out everyday. Mine was getting too thick and long again giving me headaches every day. My cousin cut our hair and did a fabulous job as always. Kayzee was so mad that we didn't cut her hair as short as mine but I just couldn't part with all her beautiful hair. HAPPY results anyways.
Before...
Then a NOT SO HAPPY week occurred. And yes, it lasted a week! Memphis woke up with a fever on a saturday morning. He didn't really complain about anything hurting he just wanted to lay in bed all day. Not like him at all. That night at 9pm I just had this feeling that I needed to take him to get looked at. I didn't want to pay for the ER and the only instacare open was 40 min away. But I am so glad we went. STREP! Sunday morning I woke up with a sore throat and fever. NOOOO! I went to the instacare and found out I had strep too:( Memphis and I quarantined ourselves to my bedroom and Kayzee and Daddy hung out and slept downstairs. Memphis and I watched a lot of movies and had a lot of popsicles. We also made sure we took our antibiotics so we could get better. We stayed home from school on Monday. Kayzee did so well entertaining herself all day in her room. Memphis rested well and was feeling better by that night but I was so exhausted from taking care of the kids Monday while Danny was at work. So glad Danny and Kayzee never got it! Tuesday I took the kids to school and went home and slept all day. Wednesday morning I woke up and decided to try and go to work. It was awful! I didn't have the gym so I had to go outside and it was freezing and so windy the kids couldn't play anything so we went inside and played inside games all day. The school play was in the afternoon so I just sat and watched that. When I got home I crashed. I was up all night with a fever and my joints hurt so bad I couldn't walk. I had been on antibiotics for more than 3 days so I should have been better. It was so late, I couldn't drive myself and we couldn't leave sleeping kids so I called an emergency doctors line and the doctor said the antibiotic they started me on obviously wasn't working (not a good thing) so they called in a different antibiotic to try. That one worked! I stayed home Thursday from work to rest up and made it back to work on Friday. Danny took Memphis camping so Kayzee and I were lazy all weekend so I could rest up and get feeling better!
Danny and Memphis went camping by Price with Danny's friend and on the way there Danny's jeep died just before the Canyon. Danny called me and told me what tools to bring and I drove and saved them! So glad Danny is a mechanic and can fix our cars. We didn't have to pay for a tow and it didn't take him very long to fix it and get it running again. Off they went camping and Kayzee and I enjoyed a girl's weekend. Memphis got to try 4 wheeling by himself and took off on a jump a little too fast and got all banged up but he had so much fun. I am glad they were safe and had fun. Kayzee and I went to Swig so we could swing! And we also took a lot of naps together! HAPPY smiles all around.
Running makes me HAPPY! I forgot how much I like running. Before I got married I ran all the time. I also ran in a lot of 5ks and 10ks and a few 1/2 marathons. Once I got pregnant for the first time I just stopped running. Starting my fitness journey back in January one of my fitness coaches/friends suggested a 5k. I decided I was going to sign up for a race in May and that would give me time to start training. Feels so good! I run at night after the kids are in bed. I love the cool weather and no people around. Just me and my music.
HAPPY BIRTHDAY WEEK!
I had such a great Birthday week. Thanks to everyone who sent gifts and to all who helped me celebrate.
Sunday-We went and played at the park all day.
Monday-My wonderful specialty team took me out to lunch at Zupas. YUM!
Tuesday-We had a family game night and played the wii. I BEAT DANNY at bowling. I had to take a picture because I never beat him. I can actually beat him at everything else so winning at bowling was even more awesome! That 3rd person is Memphis and Kayzee playing together.
Wednesday-We went out for ice cream.
Thursday April 2 MY BIRTHDAY!-My wonderful neighbor and friend Amy celebrated with me. I took the day off work and took the kids to school so Amy and I could go out and get pedicures and then we went and tried a new restaurant for lunch. Blue Lemon-soooo good! That night Danny and the kids cleaned the house bought me a balloon and made me a yummy cake.
Friday-Every year I like to go to Brick Oven Pizza and this year our neighbor friends went with us. So fun to celebrate my birthday with my little family and friends. The food was so good! The kids also got some balloons.
Danny messed up trimming his awesome long beard so he just shaved it all off. We like to tease him...baby face!
Saturday-We had a party with Danny's family. More about that below!
HAPPY EASTER!
Friday after going out to dinner we drove to Danny's sister's house in Ogden to spend the night and then we drove to Brigham City on Saturday to celebrate Easter and Conference with Danny's grandparents and lots of Danny's family. We had a little birthday celebration for everyone who had birthdays around this time so that was fun. We had a picnic, colored eggs, and had an easter egg hunt and piñata. We drove back home that night and part of Danny's family came to spend the night at our house. On Sunday we had a yummy ham and potato dinner and some birthday cake and ice cream. We all had fun hiding each other's easter baskets and trying to find them. Happy Easter everyone!
I did Kayzee's hair while we watched Conference.
Now we all have this whole week off of school for SPRING BREAK and my mom is coming to play with us. So excited to see her!
