Memorial Day
We thought we would have fun for Memorial Day...usually we are camping but I really don't want to camp for my anniversary. So we took the kids to see Shrek 3D...Kya got dizzy with the glasses on and Zander wanted to roam the halls the last 20 minutes or so, but Carl and I had fun, and the movie was cute.



And of course I just had to post a picture of our matching shoes. Kya got some really cool shoes from grandma and so I just had to find me some too. Never thought I would like animal print, but since Kya's so into it...me too. I even have a zebra and giraffe swimsuit. Crazy, I know!

One crazy week...
I had a very busy week. With an employee gone on an emergency, I worked at the gym full time this week...but had to send the kids to my mother-in-laws so Carl and I could still work. Hated it, but did what I had to do. So here is a quick wrap-up of my week...
Sent these two cuties off (sniff, sniff)...
...edited A LOT of pics...
...missed my kiddos...
....edited more pics...
...DID NOT clean my house, and barely did the dishes...no time...and I didn't eat much, who needs to eat when you aren't cooking for your kids...
...made a new Captain Running Man suit, still working on final touches...
...worked hours and hours at the gym...
...tried to sleep...
...FINALLY got these beauties back and just had fun holding them...
...got dressed up and went out to dinner with this HOTTIE to celebrate our 9 year anniversary tonight...(technically its tomorrow)
...and am now enjoying that my crazy week has ended and I could just be with my family.

Princess for a Day!
Today is Birthmother Day! With Kya's creativity, we decided to make our birthmother's "Princesses for the Day"
When I asked Kya, "what does a princess need to be a Princess"?...this is what she came up with...
1. A crown
2. A dress
3. A bracelet
4. A pedicure
5. Breakfast in Bed (I helped with that idea and hubby's are helping pull that one off...thanks)
6. A wand
So, we made Princess Packets for birthmothers.
Here are the kids wearing their "attire" before sending the packages off to Birthmoms.
Zander had a lot of fun coloring (and even more fun wearing) Tess's crown
And then of course Kya designed Jerica's dress...its a "ballerina" dress. (and this is how you wear it, Jerica, in case you were wondering).
HAPPY BIRTHMOTHER DAY!
Enjoy being a "Princess for a Day"

Finally a post worth writing.
So, now that we are feeling better, we are just waiting for the weather to cooperate. Yesterday, we got a break from this Idaho wind and cold weather....so we took advantage and went to the park. The kids loved it. We play outside in our backyard a lot, but it was just fun to stop by the park after running errands and letting the kids run around and get some fresh air.
But first, a couple pictures of what Zander does best...finds somewhere to play and jumps right in. He is so fun and really keeps us on our toes.
Ok, so we made it to the park. Zander was kicking and screaming when we left...he loves to play.
It was a breath of fresh air to get out and play with the kids. I was kicking and screaming on the inside myself when we had to leave....dang lunch and naptime.

Journaling
It is sad that the last post I did was for Easter. And taking pictures hasn't been up to par either...since I always have my phone on me, I am usually taking pictures with it and now I don't know how to get them from my phone to the computer.
We have all been sick around here for the past two weeks with this dang headcold. Kya got it first and it hit her hard. When Kya fevers...the girl is on FIRE. She has always run high fevers and it scares me. She also talks in her sleep a lot...well one night after she had been sick for a couple days, she was talking for about two hours in her sleep...just random stuff. Until around 2:00 am she started to yell for "daddy". Carl ran in and she was crying and telling him to "fix it...they're ripping, they're ripping....stop them" When asked what, she said "the clouds are ripping my pillows". She continued to repeat this over and over. I went in and tried to wake her up, but she said she was awake. Checked her temp and it was 106.1*. The girl was hallucinating...FREAKED me out.
We threw her in the tub, gave her some tylenol and Carl gave her a blessing. I was crying and Kya continued to talk about the clouds ripping her pillows, asking us if we fixed them.
A few days later it hit me hard too...headcold, congested, coughing....all the crap that comes with. I wasn't much for being a mom, housekeeper, wife or even a PERSON. Carl has had a sore throat and a cough, but unless he's just being tough, he has still been able to function (thank goodness).
Then just a few days ago, Zander gets it. Goopy eyes, runny nose and just plain onry...poor kid. Since the weather has been so blasted cold and windy, we haven't been outside much either. Gettin' some serious Spring Cabin Fever in the Weeks house.
So that is the latest and I really hope we can go outside soon, get healthy and take more pictures.
