Rain, Rain go away

Another lazy weekend in Oregon. It rained all weekend and Ben had duty. So we pretty much hung out around the house and did nothing. I'm actually pretty surprised at how little I was able to accomplish around the house this weekend for not leaving it. VERY LAZY SHELL! We did have another wonderful party at the Anderson's Friday for Matt and Tiff's going away. I was introduced to Jagger bombs, not my favorite. Ben came home early to relive the babysitter and I stumbled/rolled in about 1am. I will post some pictures later, maybe.

Saturday the boys and I spent the day playing inside, watching TV, doing some laundry and pretty much making a mess of the house. Real excited I know. Sunday we did a little more cleaning (only cause Matt and Tiff were coming over) had our Sunday ROL dinner night and played Wii all day. I must say that I kick some serious ass in tennis. I think I missed my calling in life. HAHA

We have been battling another asthma episode for Byrce. He has had this cold for a few weeks now, he has been wheezing and a gasping cough as well but nothing too serious. Well I think it has just taken a toll on him cause he slept ALOT this weekend. He went to bed around 830ish last night at slept until 945am. I was in heaven. But he is not wanting to nap right now......

Noah is just skipping along. He skips everywhere now, crazy kid. He has been working really hard, doing chores to earn money for Optimus Prime. He finally got enough money and was able to buy it on Sunday. It is the new love of his life. He is currently ADDICTED to Transformers, TMNT, Shark Boy and Lava Girl (all time fav.) and of course let's not forget Spongebob. We spent most of the weekend play either one of these. He still has such a great imagination. He actually just went in to wake Dad up by saying "HAPPY EASTER DAD!" He comes up with the strangest things, I love it.

Other then that we are just still laying around today enjoying the rain being lazy. However, Ben and I have big dinner plans at 6pm. I can't wait! Another year makes 9 and I love him more and more everyday!!!

Bad start

Yesterday was a busy, busy day. We all woke up got Noah off to preschool then Ben, Bryce and I heading to the range. Took off just in time to get Noah come home do lunch and pack for LC then out the door. Got home around dinner, played with the boys a little, cleaned, made dinner then I was off to help decorate for a going away party tonight. Came home and Ben was out the door heading to the station. It all seemed like a great idea yesterday but at the outlet we realized it wasn't. The boys were kinda fussy because they didn't get their nap/quite time and we were worn out too.

Then last night was just great. Bryce was up fussing most the night. He doesn't sleep well if he doesn't get a nap. And the boy would not go to sleep in the car. So I didn't sleep well then Noah got up around 715ish, did I mention I had just got Bryce back to sleep. He had been crying since about 5ish. And that is just way too early to wake up in this house. So Noah starting watching TMNT in bed with me till about 8ish when Bryce got back up. Since the joy has been awake he has cried, screamed, thrown fits, picked on Noah, driving me nutz and has been in time out a few times. At this point I'm ready to skip naps and go straight to bed. To top it all off I can barely lift my hand from that stupid hot gun yesterday!! And my arm is all bruised up. Im totally blamming this one on Ben, thanks Babe! :)

Did I mention we have a going away party tonight? So no early bedtime for Shell.

A Day at the range

So we decided to take a trip to the range and see how the new guns shoot. I am 100% happy with how they work. Take a look.

April Fools Day

OK let me start by I DREAD APRIL FOOLS DAY!!! Probably because I can be the most gullible person EVER. Especially when it comes to family playing jokes on me. My dad and brother used to always play April fools jokes on me and I always fell for them too. I just don't see the point in people trying to make someone feel like a fool, now if I wasn't the one always being fooled it would be different I'm sure. But I'm a good sport about the whole thing and laugh, it is funny. I have already been "gotten" by a few of my loving friends but the best was from my loving SIL. Thanks Amanda!!!!

But this year, I'm totally keeping my guard up for when Ben gets home. I'm sure he has something up his sleeve. But I'm telling you now, its not going to work. I promise!!!

HAPPY APRIL FOOLS DAY TO EVERYONE!!!!
