Busy Weekend

This weekend was cousin Kaiah’s 2nd Birthday and cousin Maisie’s baby blessing. Kasie and Jer held a party on Saturday and then another party on Sunday for the blessing. We attended both these events and love all the company of the family.

Kaiah’s birthday was themed Minnie mouse and the house was all girly. Everyone wore ears and it was just adorable. Caleb spend the weekend with his Grandpa. They went to the Lorax movie on Saturday and the rest of the weekend was spent just helping out with chores. Grandpa said the funniest part of the weekend was when Caleb took a bath, he stepped out for a moment and when he came back Caleb had drained all the water and soaped himself up and was slipping and spinning all over the bathtub. Grandma was in Idaho this weekend and it was wonderful that Caleb could spend some much needed time with his Grandpa.

After the birthday party Aaron, Josh, Jessica, baby Mac, Ben, Ciara and I all went to Ben’s favorite place to eat, Pho. It is Vietnamese soup that Ben used to eat every week when he worked in Orem. Everyone enjoyed themselves, maybe a little to much. We didn’t want the night to end so we asked my mother-in-law to watch the girls and we spontaneously decided to play laser tag. It was overpriced and didn’t last long enough but loved the company and let out a little stress.

How do ya like them Apples?


Counting her Apples

Ciara had a really hard day today. She went to the doctor because she was up all night with the quickstep and throwing up. The doctor said she may have food poising or just a stomach bug. She was feeling better this afternoon. I was making dinner and I look over and she had taken all the apples out of the bowl that sits on the table and was putting them on her high chair. She was so serious about this important task she had assigned herself it was hard to get her to look at me. I thought this was the cutest thing ever. Needless to say she is feeling better.
Caleb was making so many jokes today. He even teased Daddy about his size and how we need to watch out for him. Grandma bought us the Puss In Boots movie so we decided to have a themed dinner date as a family (Ben and I were supposed to have a date but Ciara is to sick). Our theme was all about cats (cause of the movie) so we decided to eat dairy, of course nachos and ice cream. Then Caleb and I fought with foam pads like swords until 10:00, which is way past bed time. I find it funny that Caleb just loves to be tickled. Sometimes he will ask me to tickle him until he can’t breathe. 

Started out as a really crappy day (literally, Ciara woke up in poo 🙁 ) But it ended so nicely. I just love my kids!
<-This is Caleb ready for Valentines Day for school,
oh yeah he is a little hottie
This is a picture of Ciara hanging out in 
the car. I love this hat. ->

Today has been a very humbling day. Ciara has had a belly ache for a couple days but today has been the worst of it. We both woke up to her throwing up, I don’t think she has a bug but more likely her teeth coming in. She likes to chew on my shirt and the sleeve of her coat. My mother told me that I ran high fevers and had experienced the quick step whenever I got new teeth. So she is miserable.

Ben has had some trouble with a co-worker which he worked out some problems with today. A little heart to heart talk proved to help their issues. There is also a better position open in the company which would be a great opportunity. We talked about all the benefits we receive with Xango and it seems to be a sad thought to live without them. He will be applying for that position. This job may have better potential then we thought.

Caleb had a great day. First he played with his grandpa who came to visit, then he visited a friends house (Jacob) who he hasn’t seen in a while. He loves to make up stories recently, especially about bad or scary dreams. I find myself trying to get a word in when he is around.

With my parents coming to visit (they now live in Orem) I had company which always makes me happy. My mom and I played a dance game on the wii. It is the most fun I have had in a long time. I plan on doing it again. All in all I found today as a humbling day with family and friends. 🙂

PS let it be known that I hate when Ben has to stay late for work. Seems like he is gone FOREVER! Glad the weekend is coming up 🙂

PPS Thank you Universe for all the wonderful people and great things we  have (especially my mac) and all the opportunities that always fall into our lap!
