Catching up!

Well I have been wanting to catch up with what we did over the rest of Christmas vacation, now that it is the 2nd week of January. I was down last week with what the doctor thinks is a herniated disc. I just laid in bed as much as possible and was taking all the drugs the doctor gave me! That is what kept me happy! I am happy to say so far this week I am feeling a lot better, but not completely back to normal. I guess that will take time right. I am trying to take it easy, but it is hard to do that when you are a mom! I was turning into the 1/2 ton mom that I watch on tlc. I was laying in bed all day and eating and that was the extent of my activities.

Anyways my post is lacking in pictures, because I kept forgetting to take my camera with me and so I only have a few. We went to Rexburg for the New Year. The boys were very excited to see cousins and had such a fun time. The drive to Idaho was very scary! The weather was not so good and so I was on the edge of my seat the whole 5 hours! It felt good to finally get there and relax. While in Rexburg the boys were most excited to ride the snowmachines and to go "hunting" with dad and grandpa. Dad and Grandpa and Jalen and Landon went on a Buffalo hunt. The boys were just excited to see dad shoot a buffalo and they told me all about how it fell over. Then how they saw it get skinned and the stomach and heart fell out. Lets just say I am glad I stayed home! Landon took some pictures with his camera. He was pretty excited. Dad was happy to get a chance to shoot something even if it was on a farm. The boys think its pretty cool they get to eat it now.

Sean couldn't wait to get out the snowmachines and start them! While getting them off the trailer the hitch broke and it smashed his dads hand. Ouch! His poor dads hand which I didn't see until a day or two later (because it was splinted) was so swollen! Sean felt really bad and just barely stopped telling me how stupid he is! He says it was his fault! Sorry Dad! Hope your hand is feeling better! Eventually the kids got to ride the snowmachines around the yard! They had a lot of fun taking rides with dad!

I was so glad that my old neighbor and friend Liz stopped by with her kids to visit for a little bit. It was great to see you! I miss you guys!

The kids had been looking forward to going bowling with Aunt Keri! So when she finally made it back to town we took the kids bowling. Aunt Keri, Aunt Tiana, and I took my boys and Tanner and Carter bowling! They had a really good time and they are all great at bowling. They beat me I know. I think I am going to get the bumper lanes next time!

We took the boys to see Marley and Me! Thanks for going with Scott and Tiana! That was fun! I thought it was a cute movie. My boys really stayed interested in it also. There were a couple parts that I wanted to cover my kids eyes, but they were quick thank goodness. It was only PG! I was glad the only one asking questions afterwards was Uncle Scott and not the kids! Sorry Scott, couldn't help myself!

Well we had a good time in Idaho and were happy to see everyone and have a good time. Now we are adjusting to life after the holidays. The boys are back in school. Jalen and Landon are both playing basketball. I will have to post some pictures soon!
