WeeKLy UpDaTe!

Well my poor grandma was taken to the care center, the conclusion they have maybe come to is she had a stroke? She has been praying to join my Grandpa. I can't blame her! She probably wants to be with her sweetheart for Valentines. I think she is doing better, but I'm glad I made that time to go see her.

When Peyt saw this pic of her he said "Oh, your grandma does look like she is dying" :( Sad.
We made one awesome fort! haha they loved it!
then we finally had Maycee come over and play. Drew and her wanted a party with presents, balloons, music and ice cream. Sounds like a Birthday to me! haha so we celebrated Maycee's birthday, that is this month anyway. They loved it!
and we even managed to get the boys to sing Happy Birthday! :) Thanks for coming to play Maycee!
SiLLy Peyt!
For my step-moms bday, we enjoyed dinner and some good chatting. It was about 15 yrs overdue! haha Thanks Shannon!
while Kin was sick I got to do lots of this! Love it
SiLLy tub time!
Me and Drew cuddled up to watch Megamind one day and he looked at me, put his hand on my face and said "this is the best day ever!!!" So freakin' cute! Love him.
Our cute friend Darci was in need of a girls night out. You didn't have to talk us into it! So off we were to dinner and enjoyed some good laughs for a couple hours! Love these girls and miss having them across the street.
from Nachelles 30th bday we played minute to win it games. This is peyt trying to do the cookie one, getting it into his mouth without touching it. he did pretty good! :)
and Drew stuffed his shirt with some of the tissue from another game. haha love it!
We got a Vday date in this week too when some friends called and invited us along for a dinner and games date night! Thank heavens for my mom who was more than willing to help out! We had a fun dinner then brought the kids home and called a neighbor girl to come hang while the kids slept! Doesn't get better than that! It worked out perfect and we got a fun night OUT!!!
AND HOLY WHAT?!?!? Kinlee is 11 months old today?! Time is flying. Peyt wanted her to have all her "friends" in the pic, instead of just Olivia. haha When we went to the Dr. She was almost 18 lbs. she is little, her feet are so tiny! She hadn't really been sick until right when I stopped nursing her, and then that's when she got pneumonia. :( She is doing so much better. She says "Ought oh!(is that how you spell it?), mmmmm!, Thank you" in her own little way, you can tell she is trying to copy everything we say. it's so cute! She loves handing us things, or putting lids on items. She will stand up to things, but hates to stand on her own...I think it actually scares her. She LOvES grilled cheese sandwiches, PB and J, chicken nuggets and yogurt. Oh and her bottle! Right when she sees it, she freaks out. haha She is so fun. We love her! and Peyt is already talking about celebrating her 1st Bday! I think we need to take these next 30 days SLOW! :)

GiRLs NiGhT!!!

Can I even tell you how fun it is to keep in touch with these girls. When some of them I've known clear back since 1st grade!!! Its crazy to look at pics and to not give us an age, I swear you can still see the same little girl face! Anyway, last night we got together for Brooke's bday! Only a couple more of us will turn 29 this year, the rest are looking at 30!!! When the heck did we get so old :) Love you girls, thanks for the fun night!
Nothing better than comfy clothes, ice cream sundaes in waffle bowls and the Bachelor! haha We also thought it would be fun to try out the Belt loop dancing circle...when we realized we have all resorted to drawstring pants and only a couple even had jeans on!!! We are old!!!
Happy Birthday Brooke!!! You are too stinkin' pretty, so thanks for making the rest of us look bad when you come completely dolled up! haha Love ya girl! :) Here come the next 20+ years of fun together!

**Our week in ReViEW**

We are hoping that we are FINALLY catching our break in the sickness that keeps going around our home! A few weeks ago, the boys caught pink eye in both eyes, we thought it was gone, then almost 2 weeks later Miss Kin got it and we have had colds and coughs ever since. I feel horrible now, thinking Kinlee just had a cold. I finally faced it and took her to the Dr. Friday...with 102 fever and a sick girlie, he diagnosed her with pneumonia :( how sad! I can't believe the amazment of medicine though, today you never would have guessed how sick she was. She is doing MUCH better! So is Drew, who seems to always take the coughs pretty rough too.
Enjoying holding my kinners from many sleepless nights! and I LOVED it! Nothing better than cuddling your kids.
Little sweetie!
Love her toes...I know I'm picture obsessive sometimes! haha
and the camera woke her up! haha MY fault! :)
and don't worry, we are safe, BATMAN is here!!!
Kinlee grabbed the paddle and wanted a turn! it was cute.
Cuddling with dad.
SO...how about this mess! We moved one of the tv's in our room with the old school xbox. The boys sneak in there when I'm busy. This is how they were found! They turned on an xbox video game and were watching it with their snacks and comfort! :) I thought it was hilarious!
We thought it was a fun idea...Kin, not so much! :(
The boys snuck in our bed...which also means tys and I got a crappy sleep. I woke up in the middle of the night to find the boys like this. Right after I took the pic, peyt rolled over and Drew put his arm on Peyt the same way! haha cute.
AND the SuPeRBoWL!!! We turned into Giant fans. The boys were SOOO excited to have our awesome friends over and decorate! They started planning on Wed when we went to lunch with Grandma and she gave Peyt Giant plates! haha they loved it!
Nachelle brought these cute treats! Just made them in her spare time! :) She's amazing!
Drew enjoying the confetti from the first touch down! YEA!
Jay before he washed it off! He started the trend, the kids wanted theirs off after Jay washed his.
Kinlee was SO happy! Seriously amazing. She loved the party!
Lila is so stinkin' cute!
My hubby...trying to keep his eyes open for the pic! Which today is also the 9 year anniversary of our FIRST date! YEEHA! :) Love him! It was fun talking about that first date tonight! Can't believe it's been that long!!!!!!!!
They were dancing to the half time show! So cute!
and more entertainment :)
SILLY string!!!!!!!!! AHHH!
More confetti from an AWESOME win!!!!!!
YEA! So much fun! Glad we were feeling better to play with friends!!! and thanks to Miya for cleaning almost all the confetti back up! As always, too much yummy food, treats, fun, dancing and best of all-good quality time together! and Hoping we are on the mend from sickness! :)

How do you decide?

I remember laying on the bed at the Dr.'s, waiting for the nurse to tell us if our 3rd baby we were having was going to be a boy or a girl. As soon as she said the words, "it's a girl!"....and I actually felt like I could believe her, I had the feeling come over me that having Miss Kinlee come would complete our family. That we were done. All through my pregnancy I felt like I could never do it again, that I wouldn't. It was too hard this time, too miserable. My feelings reassured over and over that a little "pink" would complete us.
Probably since the day we brought Kinlee home peyton has asked numerous times that we PLEASE have another. I told him when he is a dad he can have as many as HE wants. Haha
The begging hasn't stopped even with kinlee being 10, almost 11 months.
Tonight as I'm sitting here watching my little drew cough and cough. Whispering "mommy" and being able to be just the comfort he needs...I can't help but feel an amazing love and passion for something I had always dreamed of. Being a mom. Was the feeling I felt on the bed that day, a simple selfish feeling of what I only thought was complete? Seeing a pregnant mom or hearing a friend or sister is going in to have their baby, and me already secretly wishing that was me going into a delivery room. Will I always miss that? Do I just decide that now? I know I have at least a couple years to decide. But I guess one thing is certain, I'm blessed with a wonderful husband who won't make a permanent decision, who knows that plans change, even if its not on our own schedule.
I love being a mom. I know I wouldn't trade that for the world...

Little here and there...!

On Monday Peyts class had a parade for the Chinese New Year!
Peyt and Jax

the class with Miss Ding
Dad made it and saved us a great spot!
Me and Drew....he was a little bugged they weren't throwing out candy! hah :)
and there they go!
The teacher invited everyone to wear red in celebration of the new year! Grandma Debbie didn't even know and had red on too!
The 2nd graders combined with them and did the parade too!
We even got to see Brax pass through after the parade was done.
Peyt and his buddy Porter had matching outfits. He wouldn't get a pic with Miss Ding unless Porter was in it. Can you believe she is 39 and has a 12 or something old daughter?!? Crazy!
We checked on kin and she was cuddled up with her fav blankie!
Tys left us for the concrete show in Vegas! Glad he is back! :)
and we had a dance party! Fun to see their awesome moves!
I went through my box of things my mom saved from when I was little. Finally finding some girlie things for Hadlee to play with! It was Iron man playing with the dolls. Seriously hilarious!
and then their class had a Chinese assembly another day!
Drew being silly by Beckham!
They thought it was funny the light was shining right on them!


Drew can't wait to be 6 and learn chinese too!
We were visited by pink eye almost two weeks after the boys had gotten it in each eye! Poor Kin ended up with it in both eyes and woke up today with it again in both eyes:( GO away SICKNESS!
Still happy! YOu can see her eye swollen and red!
Sadie came and visited and brought puzzles for the boys. WE didn't get drew's done yet though.
and these cute pj's for kin with heart looking pockets on the bum! SO CUTE!
He wasn't a fan...he thought it was brownie batter BUT we were making cupcakes. hahaha he could tell a difference! :)
Peyt found each of them something to wear for the jazz game Friday nighT! They weren't going, but just watching on tv. haha :) CUTE!
madi and claire came over sat while their mom and dad went skiing...the choc chips fell on the floor and they thought it was hilarious eating them off the floor with their mouths! haha
Grandpa bruce brought cupcakes and drew wasn't supposed to have one yet. WE found him hovering over them in the kitchen, just waiting to dive in! cute!
So there we go, some pics still on my phone...gotta figure that out! Hope you're all doing well too!
