Snip, Snip!
I finally went short again. On a whim I decided to do it. We had our bi-monthly appointment scheduled for me and the kids and a few days before going I thought it was time to cut it off (10 inches). Lindsay about died. He loves long hair but I wasn't doing this for him. I needed something fast and easy with being the fabulous mother that I am (ha-ha!). I just don't have time to do my hair these days. Low maintenance is good.

A Month of Hell (I am so aloud to say that word this time)
It all started the week before Easter. I never in my life dreamt of having two beautiful kids, being a stay at home mom and able to love-a-dove-dove my kiddos all day, and then dealing with everything we have been through. The highlights of my life for sure, I am totally living the life (ha-ha!). What a total nightmare.
Little Owen and myself got a bit of the flu before leaving to Moab for Easter weekend. Thank goodness it all cleared up in time to go and we had a wonderful holiday weekend. Well, when we returned home Lindsay and Faith were stuck with a bad cold and serious sinus infections. Then it hit me, bad..... I had to go to the doctor because the left side of my face was in so much pain. My ear, my head, my jaw, everything hurt and I tried to deal with it for four days and then went in to get something to help me. It was miserable dealing with that and the kiddos every day, ugh!
Well, then Owen got croup for a week and when it drained he then received two ear infections and a bad cough in the lungs. Which then also spread to mio... I received some kind of croup junk from him. Then to continue on every one of us received a 24 hr. flu bug, we just passed it right through, one to another. First Owen on a Wednesday, then me on a Friday, then Faith on Sunday, and then Lindsay came home from work on Tuesday and stayed home on Wednesday from it. YUCK!!!!!!!!!!! Not to mention that Lindsay cold turned into a sinus infection and he ended up at the doctor and had an ear infection (I didn't know adults actually got those).
Then when I thought I had, had enough there was still more to come. Faith came down with a high fever of 105 for two days which was not pretty. She laid on the couch SO sick for four days and we found out she had the beginning stages of ammonia. We had to put her on antibiotics and the nebulizer (breathing machine) using it four times daily for up to 7-10 days. During this time Owen then received two more ear infections and I fought a cold and sour throat.
I tell you I was so dead and so worn out from all of this and being up during the nights with the kids and being sick through it all myself. We were seriously down for a month. I had to keep the kids inside for 7 days about a week ago and then we went to our family cabin for the weekend (last weekend) to get the kids away and up into some fresh air (Star Valley Wyoming). It was a nice weekend and two days after returning the kiddos are FINALLY HEALTHY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am not sure about going to nursery this Sunday, it freaks me out really. I am so worried about them. Hoefully with the nice sunshiny weather all the yuck clears out and everyone stays healthy and happy now.
WOW! What a month. I gained 8 pounds, sat on my duff for two straight weeks (so much for training for my half marathon), kept the kids inside, went crazy, had only two break downs (not bad), but look at us know, GOOD AS NEW (crossing my fingers). It's so funny how the little things can bring you down and totally wear your out. I have so much to be grateful for on those days when my kids both wake up happy and healthy. It is amazing how much your life changes with sick kids. I learned to appreciate the little things through all of this and maybe this is what I needed. Some times I get so bored or down when I am at home all day, every day with my kids. Everything is done by their schedule and there is no more "me" time. I get down every now and then but having gone through this I have found so many little things to be grateful for and I realize I am one of the luckiest people alive. I truly and really couldn't be hapier when I have two healthy kids.
Now let's get out side and PLAY HARD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Guess Who's Potty Trained?
I know, your all thinking "LINDSAY!"...wrong! he-he!
Faith is finally potty trained and because she is such a good girl we made a trip to the store and got her some fish. She has been wanting some for a long time and we told her if she was able to do a good job for a while she would get some. Well it happened and she is the happiest little girl in town (not to mention so are her parents).
Of course I told her that we needed to name the fish and she names them "B" & "Buzz". All she wants to do is sit by the fish tank and watch them all day.
WAY TO GO FAITH!!!!!!!!!!!!!! So worth it!

Lazzzzzzzzzy day
Every once and a while mom rolls out of bed and spends the day doing what ever, when ever.
I some times love those days when there is nothing on the schedule. We woke this morning, took our time eating (didn't have to tell Faith to hurry and eat 50 times). Then we made a tent in the living room and had some fun. Turned on the music and sang and danced the day away.
Once nap time rolled around I finally got ready for the day, only to drive to Bountiful tonight so my mom can watch my kiddos while I go running. Usually I do it at night when the kids go to bed but since dad won't be home until late I have to go to mom's for a bit. I'm running in The Race for The Cure Saturday and this is the last night to warm up. GOOD TIMES!!!!
Love those lazy days!

Rain..... Again!
The weather man calls for rain this week, yet again. I won't complain though, soon it will be too hot for me. I kind of like the in-and-out door thing we have going on, gives me a little verity. The kids of course LOVE to play outside. We are looking forward to spending our summer days in the sun and at the parks. Call us any time to go, we are game!
Smore's Mmmmm!
It was so fun getting together with my family over the weekend while my brother was in town with his cute wife and daughter (they are expecting their second in October).
We had a nice dinner at Vicki's and then roasted some mellows over the fire.
I love being with my family and relaxing.

Living Planet Aquarium
On a very cloudy and rainy Saturday we decided to make the trip down south to The Living Planet Aquarium. I wasn't sure what to expect but we actually had a really nice time. Faith and Owen are WAY into fish right now, I'm not sure where the fascination all started? The kids loved it though (Owen screaming, high pitched, at every fish tank he looked into...embarrassing). Once a year will do for us.
