6 months

So I went to the doctor on Thursday...it has been six months. Six months since my miraculous healing. Six months since I started a study at the University of Utah. The T.E.A.R trial. The Treatment of Early Agressive Rhuematoid Arthritis. I was so crippled before. More than anyone knew. Anyone but Cali, or Cortney but even they couldn't understand. I couldn't hold my children...I couldn't dress them. I couldn't be who I wanted and it seemed so overwhelming to picture my life the way it was. I could barely drive. I slept deeply maybe 3 or 4 hours a night. Every time I have a doctors appointment which is every six weeks, I dread it. I don't like the drive up and back thats two hours, I don't like going alone, and I usually have to get a babysitter for 5 hours (thanks Cali), oh plus I have tons of blood drawn. But as I get there I always get an overwhelming sense of gratituted. I am always almost giddy. I don't know quite how to explain it but I go from dreading it to being so happy. I am doing so well...they take a blood test at every appointment to check the activity of the disease the rate at which my immune system is destroying my joints. It is always almost no activity. How amazing is that. Six months I have felt awesome. Now I get start tapering off the steroids that are making my face chubby and in two months I will be off of them comepletly. I love my doctor and my study coordinator. I am so thankful every day (every hour) to my Heavenly father for allowing this miracle to come in to our lives. I know Cortney feels that way to. I told Oliver that I was going to the Doctor on Thursday...the doctor that helps me with my hands. He couldn't remember my hands hurting. I couldn't believe that. I thought it was going to be a huge thing he had to deal with in his life (taking care of me and picking up the slack on things I couldn't do before) but maybe it won't be that way at all. I am so greatful for medicine. Well I just wanted to write down mostly for my self how I felt at my 6 month appointment. I am so blessed.

Fishin'

So on Thursday I heard Cortney talking to one of his friends on the phone and he said..."well you will be able to see it on our blog" I thought it was really funny. I didn't even know Cortney knew "our" blog exisisted. Well I guess he does and he has some things he wants me to write about and he wants me to post this picture. He was able to go fishing on Thursday...He has a place down at the golf course that only they have access to. He caught so many fish...2 24" carp, an 18 inch walleye, croppie (sp), tons of white bass...maybe 4 or 5, 2 large mouth bass, and an huge catfish (below). So that is what he caught word for word out of his mouth. When he starts telling me these things I usually tune him right out but he was thrilled. Here is a picture he took with his phone...look at his face...I've never seen him happier...well maybe once when he was caller #9 on X96. This catfish he says was 28 or 30 inches long "OVER" 15 lbs. He and his friends grilled it up for lunch the next day at work. He is so funny...and hasn't caught much down there before this. He kept telling me it wasn't the right time of year, but I was starting to think that he just wasn't much of a fisherman. I guess he proved me wrong.

my come lo todo

Come lo todo means glutton is spanish...translated word for word it says he who eats everything. That is my little or should I say big R.o.b. Every morning I make that little boy a hot breakfast yesterday it was two scrambled egg omlet with toast. Today he had a huge bowl of old fashioned oatmeal (adult serving size, I couldn't eat that much) a bannana, and a bowl of lucky charms. I hadn't planned on giving him the lucky charms but after he finished his food I got myself some lucky charms. He wouldn't even let me eat them he would yell at me every time I took a bite and kept looking frantically at how much cereal was left in the bowl. Some times he amazes me.
Here he is watching the tube, he likes to watch Teletubbies when he wakes up from a nap grumpy. It usually cheers him right up. (note he is getting his hair, I guess that is how he soothes himself.)
I love when my kids sit nicely by eachother...it hardly ever happens so I thought I HAD to get a camera out and document it.
Just the side view and ofcourse it isn't in focus. Cortney's camera is too fancy for me.
The weather here is starting to get nice and our grass is starting to come in. This is a picture of ROB running in our front yard. He cries all day by the door to go out to play.
Oliver jumping down our front steps. I CANNOT wait for summer. oh...and for our back yard to be done.

TWINS!

So they are here!!! Sammy had her babies delivered by c-section yesterday (sunday)at 7:53 & 7:56 am. I don't know the exact details and I will post them as I get them.

I do know the girl KATE (named after kyles mother) was born first and is 4 pounds something. She was actually 4 lbs 7 oz. 18 inches long.

Owen came second at 5 lbs something. Okay my mom just called me Owen weighed 5 lbs 9 oz 18 1/2 inches long. His full name is Owen Kyle Miller he is O.K Miller just like my grandpa Owen Ken Earl was O.K. Earl
Sorry the pictures are so small they are from Kyles cell phone. Better than nothing. I am so happy for them.
Both babies are healthy and it sounded as if Owen will get to go home when Kyle and Sam do, it might take Kate a couple more days after that. Amazing to have such healthy twins.

like mother like sons....

So we are all border line sick over here. Noses running and a bunch of grumpy boys. Cort included. Cortney had to work today because they let the water in the sprinkler system at the course in too fast and busted 12 sprinkler heads. Cortney had told them not to do it and that it was something that should be done over the course of a couple of days, little by little. But did they listen, no. So he had to go down and try to fix exactly what he had told them would happen. I in the meanwhile was sitting around not feeling too good, and feeling sad that he was working. I decided I would make myself a YUMMY sandwich. I love to cook for myself. I know that sounds weird but I love food and I love to make something just so. I piled on the sprouts, and tomato a little cracked sea salt, and freshly ground pepper. The bread was a delish sunflower honey bread and of course I had the most delish mustard assortment to choose in the making of said sandwich. When it was finally made I took my blanket and curled up in our recliner that is right in the sun so it was cozy and warm. As I sat down my children must have smelt my heavenly sandwich because there they were at my side. Both of them were begging for bites. I didn't think they would like it but I was wrong. It makes me so happy to see two little boys scarfing down a sprout sandwich. Oliver kept calling it a grass sandwich. I love that they will try most foods and they think almost everything is yummy. I know that someday they will insist that they only like a peanut butter sandwich with the crust cut off so I am writing this down as proof that at one point in their lives they would try things...and they would like them.

Busy Day

So today was a crazy day. Not like my usual days. I slept in this morning...long trips are hard on me I come home sooo tired. I finally woke up and started reading a book. I was only going to read until Rob woke up and then I was going to start my day. A couple of hours later I heard Rob stiring around in his room. He woke up at NOON....and I only had a couple of pages left in my book. It was a nice start to the day. We then all got dressed, fed and ready. We jumped in the car and I called Evans Hairstyling College to see if they had any appointments for my two boys. It was awesome they said they could get me in at 1:30 (it was 1:21 when I called). We went straight over there and my two boys got their hair cut. Either Cali or I have been cutting their hair since they were born. They always cry and freak out and it isn't worth it. This place was awesome. I didn't tell them untill we were there and I had two girls cut their hair right next to each other. It was so great. Oliver was doing a little silent crying at first (the lady was using someone elses clippers and they were pulling his hair). She switched clippers and he was fine after that. The whole thing was over in 15 minutes. I then took the boys to pick out a dessert at Kneaders. YUMMY. The best food around. I love that place. We had a fruit tart, a key lime pie tart, and a german chocalate brownie. We went and ate them in the park. It was fun. I never go anywhere without my sister and I see why. It was lonely sitting there at the park by myself. I actually went down the slide with Robert. It was such a nice day! We went home because Robbie was trying to get some kids toys and wouldn't leave him alone. Once home I put Robbie down and Ollie and I continued to play...
I tried to take a picture of Robbie's new hair before his nap. He wouldn't hold still...he just wanted to see his picture on the back of the camera. His hair cut is REAL cute though.
Here is Olivers hair cut. He posed himself on the ball. Funny what a kid learns when his parents take a million pictures. He thinks he is so handsome. All day he kept saying "thanks mom for letting me get my haircut, I am going to do whatever you say on this day"
As we were playing and taking pictures outside the sprinklers went on....he was not amused.
It was so funny seeing him try to get off the yard and getting sprayed in the head. I know that makes me sound mean...but it really was funny.
When did I get old enough to have a kid that can jump over the fence? When did my little baby get old enough to jump over the fence? The worst part of it is that my little Rob trys to copy him and he can get about halfway up the fence...his little feet are the perfect size to go in the chain links.

After getting home I called Amber and Laura and had a little mommy time while I talked to two of my Bestest Friends. After that I had a class presidency meeting for young womens at 5:00....we had stuff to prepare for tomorrows mutual. At 5:30 I ran to the church to help set up tables and stuff for the RS birthday dinner at 6:00. Now it is 9:30...I barely got my kids in bed and the house really needs a once over. But I am TOO tired. It is tiring having stuff to do all day. I love my unschedualed life. It really is the best. Cortney is over at my brother and sister's house putting a water line from their sink to their fridge. Who knows when he will be home...but I bet he would appreciate it if the house was clean...I know I would. I better get working. GOODNIGHT

Home again, home again jiggity jig

So we are home...it took 12 and a half hours. Real good time. I knew it was going to be a long day because all of the kids were crying that they didn't want to leave as we were loading the car. We left at 5:30 or so. The kids were crazy. Still good considering but worse then on the way to Washington. They knew there was nothing to look forward to. Oh well it was ALOT of good memories and I know it is making us better people.
Cali and I in our matching outfits. I know this isn't a great picture of us but after 13 hours with 6 kids in a small space how good are we supposed to look...right?
All the kids in their glory. I gave my kids a bath after the long day and the bath water was dark brown. They were covered from head to toe in treats.
It was really fun wearing matching outfits. We already got tons of people looking at us in disbelief for just having 6 kids but it was even more unbelievable being two ladies...matching outfits...6 kids. Yeah...I loved it.

Here we go again...

So in the morning we leave home to Utah...at 5:00 in the morning. We are all packed up and ready to go. So sad. I love it here...I love everything about it. Tonight I was outside and the smell reminded me of my childhood so much. I loved growing up here. Moses Lake is a funny town, it took me coming back to realize it. But...it was a great place to grow up. Sometimes I want to move back so my kids can have the same opportunity I did. Cali and I got matching sweat suits for our road trip back. YEAH. I will post some pictures after I get home. It is going to be awesome.

Robert Owen Boice

So last night Rob got his hands on a couple of marbles. I didn't want him to have them but he was SOOOO tired and sad I let him keep them. As we got ready to start eating dinner my dad sat him up on the couch and gave him a bite of pear. He was kinda laying down when he was eating the pear. I looked over and his face was getting red and his eyes were watering. I picked him up whacked him on the back and swept his mouth with my finger to clear his passage way. Some pear came out but I screamed "he is not breathing!" My mother, father and sister were all right there and I handed him to Cali, and pleaded with her to help him. My father cleared his mouth once again while Cali continued to hit him on the back. I ran to the laundry room and said a prayer...I didn't want to see him die. I ran back out to the kitchen and asked if I needed to get an ambulance coming. They continued to try and get him breathing but at this point my poor little baby was turning bright blue. I have never seen anyone like that before. Cali gave him the Heimlich maneuver while my dad kept trying to hit him on the back. Out came a marble and then another...and then another...three marbles. Immediately his color returned and he coughed in air. He looked SOOO relieved. He didn't even cry for a while he was just so happy to be breathing again. I ran to him and of course I lost it. He lost it. We rocked with each other for a couple of minutes. I have never seen real chocking. I have seen chocking were the person is gasping or coughing but never where there is nothing from them. We all just kept waiting for him to gasp...or cry...or anything. It was the scariest thing ever. After he was fine we all just sat there in silence. We offered up a family prayer of gratitude and we just sat there...horrified...greatful and speechless which is really saying something in the Earl family. WOW. Having lost a brother at a really young age...I understand death. I know that it happens and that it is Heavenly Father's plan. I know that when my brother died it was because he was done here on Earth and that he is in Heaven and that we will see him again. I have always had a strong testimony of that. I just didn't want him to die in my arms. Even if it was my sister's arms I knew she would do everything she had to do to try and save him. I couldn't do it. So today...as I listened to his sweet little voice waking up over the monitor...saying so quietly and politely mom...mom...Ollie...Mom? I was so grateful for him and the time I have been able to spend with him so far. Grateful that I will be able to see him grow. He is a good boy.

13 Hours

So we did it...my sister Cali and I drove from Orem, UT to Moses Lake Washington with six kids, in one van. I kept having panic attacks all weekend just thinking about how awful the drive would be...but in true Earl fashion, our kids our great travelers. We had no problems. We woke up at 4:00 and were on the freeway before 5:00 a.m. All of the kids had their blankets and treats. We had tons of movies to watch and even hooked up our Xbox so the kids could play Lego Star Wars on the way here. We stopped in Baker Oregon for a 30 minute lunch/play session at a McDonalds playland which was a life saver because our kids loved it and ran around like they had never seen a play land before. Really the only stressfull thing was Rob only slept 27 minutes in the entire 13 hour drive. Towards the end he finally lost it and cried for about 20 minutes. He really was so good especially for only 27 minutes of sleep. We were so happy when we pulled on to Easy Street and so happy to be home sweet home. I love it here. I found some pictures that I thought I would post...
This first picture is my huge family at Disneyland. This was one the happiest days of my life. I loved it. Sam and Kyle were also on this trip...just not this day. Notice how great I look...I delivered Rob 4 weeks from this picture.

Me...Cali...Sam. My two sisters...my best friends. Here we are young and oh so cute. I had never seen this picture before. Can you believe I used to be blonde. Oh those were the days...I think blonds do have more fun...or so it appears. I love this picture. I had the best childhood. I hope my children can be so lucky.

Happy Sumo=Happy Ashley

We went to Happy Sumo for my birthday which is my favorite restaurant tasty japaneese food and sushi. It was so much fun. Cortney and I went alone and we sat at a table with no light above it it was the darkest table at a restaurant I have ever sat at. I couldn't even tell what I was eating.

This morning we were driving and Oliver said to me out of nowhere "Daddy always eats the food that Tyler gives me and I don't want him to." I couldn't understand what he was talking about mostly because he has an imaginary friend named Tyler and also a beloved uncle Tyler. I asked him which Tyler and he said "the real one....Tyler gave me some food and put it on the counter and daddy ate it" It is amazing what little kids are thinking sometimes. Maybe not amazing to you all but I thought it was so cute. He was being so pensive in the back seat thinking about life and Tyler and the food his dad ate.

Happy Birthday to me....

So today I am 27!!! 27 that seems so old. Yesterday I took my passport picture and I look old in it. Cali assured me that the camera they use there just casts weird shadows but it was a great intro to my Birthday. I got to sleep in this morninig...at 10:00 my kids and husband came in with a plate of toast and a huge garbage sack of balloons. They all jumped on me...well Rob jumped to get the toast he had been crying for and Oliver jumped on a balloon and popped it. What a great way to be woken up. Rob ate up the toast as fast as he could making sure to cover me with buttery crumb filled hugs and kisses, while Oliver yelled happy birthday and told me to hurry to see the kitchen. They had colored a sign that says "happy B-day Mom" So cute. I am so lucky.so of course in this picture I have my mouth full of the toast my kids made for me. As we were falling asleep last night Cortney asked me my favorite thing that happened this last year of my life. It was a real tie between finding out my dad DOESN'T have cancer and the first day my medications kicked in and I could close my hands in a fist for the first time in almost a year. So many amazing things happened to me this last year....and I hate sounding cheesy but I guess that if that is what getting older is...the passing of time while amazing things happen, then I guess I am okay with getting older. Woke up this morning to more snow.
Oliver punching a balloon that I got for my birthday. I could hear Rob crying for about 5 minutes before I got woken up...he was mad and sad that Cortney was trying to put the balloons in a bag to pour them on me. He wanted them all to himself. Also today my nephew was born. Heather and Brian WIlliams' son. I hopped he would be born on my birthday. There are so many February birthdays in our family and now we get one more. I am dying to know details...I could see from some of the pictures that he was on a little oxygen mask...so he must have had some problems like Heather's other babies. I am thinking about them so much today!

MY FAVORITE PIC

Cortney took this picture yesterday morning. ROB is smilling so big I can't even stand it. I can barely control myself when I look at this picture. It makes me want to dance. Man I love that kid. Still no pictures of Ollie...I guess babies are just cuter than 3 1/2 year olds that freeze up and do a weird smile everytime the camera comes around.

CHOICES

So we finally finished our cabinets. PHEW...that took forever. They came out looking really nice. It is hard to show in a picture because the flash makes them seem way lighter than they are in real life and it shows more of the brush strokes. It definatly looks better than before though. Now I am trying to decide what color to make my countertops. It is too hard of a decision so I thought I would post pictures for you all to help me decide.
Our lovely cabinets
Okay this is the first one it is a gold color. I love that it is warm toned, and it would be easy to clean. (keep in mind that the colors might not be exact...my photography with Cortney's fancy camera is never great)
Second...a grey tile with some specks of maroon...it definatly matches the cabinets
Last but not least is this green tile. It looks cool toned in the picture but it has olive undertones not teal ones. It has some yellow flecks too. The paint swatch doesn't look like it matches at all but in regular light it does. Cameras do tricky things. I had to lighten the picture up so you could see anything at all so don't think my taste is that bad that I would mix that paint with that granite. I think this one would be the hardest to keep clean. So eveyone that reads this give me a vote. Then maybe I can get it done by the weekend.
Here is Ollie this morning loving our couches as much as I do.

Trauma....life in the ER

So Friday Cali and I got up, got ready, and we both cleaned our houses from top to bottom. When we were done we both decided that we didn't want to be in our clean houses with our kids just messing them up. So we decided to take a trip to the American Fork Artic Circle so the kids could play in the play place. The playground there is perfect for little toddlers but there is enough to do that our older kids don't get bored. We were having a grand old time and we were probably there a couple of hours. We were really the only people there and our kids were playing StarWars on the jungle gym while Cali and I sat and talked. It was a great day. We were about to go...the hamburgers had been eaten and they were all getting pretty tired. All of the sudden we heard Carolina (Cali's 20 month old) crying. Cali ran over to help her up...she had fallen on some stairs. She screamed for me to come over and as I did all I saw was blood and teeth going everywhere. Carolina was trying to wipe her mouth off and as she did she handed Cali a tooth she had gotten out of her mouth. It was one of the worst things I have ever seen. One of her teeth was laying straight with the root coming straight out of her gums in the other direction. We frantically started trying to get all six kids shoes gathered and in the car. We left as fast as we could, I in the meanwhile called Cortney to come help, and Cali called her cousin the dentist to see if we should go to the emergency room or to his office. It turned out we needed to go to the dentist so we dropped the kids off at Cali's and Cortney came to watch them. There had been some sort of miscommunication between he and I when I told him to come. He thought it was Cali who had fallen, he was scared about that. When he came and saw it was Carolina he couldn't understand. He gave her a quick blessing which helped to calm all three of us down. Then we left to Alpine to meet with the dentist. In the end she lost three teeth. We had to hold her down while he pulled them out. It was so sad. Part of her jaw in the front is broken but it isn't the kind of break where they need to wire her jaw. It was so SCARY. It really makes you realize how fast your life can change. She won't have teeth down there until they grow in when she is in the 1st grade. SAD. Here are some pictures taken with my camera phone.

Rob's poor head

R.O.B. is so top heavy (his head is in the 90eth percentile) that he falls over onto his head so easily. Sunday night we had Cameron and Leah over for dinner and he fell over in the kitchen doorway. It looked so bad. Poor kid. His face is dirty mostly because he had been crying. I need to get more pictures of Oliver. I don't ever take any. He is just too grown and too cool to try to do something cute for the camera. I will make an effort to post more pictures of Ollie. This is our new couch. Justin said it is the best "deal" I have ever gotten. Which is really saying ALOT because I am the queen of "deals". It is on of my best talents. But anyways The couch we got from the RC Willey outlet for 390 dollars plus 100 dollars for their stainguard 7 year stain warranty. It is microsuede and so easy to clean. I sat on it with stain on my bum (from staining the cabinets) and there was a big spot where i was sitting. We cleaned it no problem. I love it. I might agree with Justin it is one of the best deals I have ever gotten.

Valentines

I hate Valentines day. I always have, my whole life. I even always had a boyfriend and never had to be alone, but....there is just so much pressure to do something romantic and that drives me nuts. It has probably been better since I have been married just because we don't usually do much. Cort isn't cheesy at all. This year the day was actually pretty nice. Cort let me sleep in (after some persuading from me..."Cort, you are supposed to let me sleep in its Valentines day") Nonetheless I still got to sleep in. My brother Justin and I had decided the night before that I would make a Valentine's day meal for him and his girlfriend and Cort and I. I woke up trying to decide what I was going to make. I got the kids dressed and then drove to Costco to get prepared.

Menu:

Dark green salad with white balsamic vinagarette
Wild Alaskan king Crab and sweet corn chowder
Pork roast with creamy mustard sauce
Mashed potatoes
Green beans
Rolls
Creme Brulee

After Costco, I drove to Cali's house. I have not quite evolved to being a full lady yet even with my seven plus years of being marrie. Because of this lack of lady-ness I have no matching plates (well that aren't plastic), no tablecloth. All of those things that ladies have. So Cali and I scrounged up some china and stuff to make the table fancy. I had to leave my kids there because I had my appointment in Salt Lake City at the Hospital. (I have an appointment every 6 weeks for the next two years at the University of Utah hospital for my Rheumatoid Arthritis) I took Tyson to kindergarten at 12:30, then came home chopped carrots onions and shallots and got the roast in the crock pot. Then I took Jack to preschool at 1:00. Then onto the freeway to SLC. I hate driving to Salt Lake. I don't know why but going to my appointments alone is lonely. I am always waiting for my mom to be there but I am the mom now and I am all alone. The university is a teaching hospital so the girl that took my blood was just learning....I really think it was one of her first times. YEOUCH. I hate having my blood taken anyways but this time it especially hurt. My study coordinator was really trying to distract me. After my appointment I headed home to pick up my kids and get the creme brulee started. Cort came home from work about 4:30 or 5:00 and he brought me some beautiful flowers from COSTCO. Justin and Angelique came over at 8:00 after both our kids were asleep. We ate and ate (sooo yummy...good job Ashley haha). After dinner Cortney fired up his blow torch and got the creme brulee ready (which is one of my favorite desserts). It was really fun. I was glad we had them over because otherwise it would have been a normal night. You would be crazy to go out to dinner here on Valentines day. My friend went at 3:30 to try to have an early dinner. THere was already an hour wait. Plus good luck trying to find a babysitter. After all the food we watched Man vs. Wild and American Idol. It was a great day.

PUSH-UP POPS

So Cali hates pictures of kids messy from eating things...I am sure Shane does too. But I finally have the internet and we took some pictures on Saturday. I had to post these I thought they were precious. Rob had his first push up pop, and needless to say he loved it.

MOM!!!! GIVE ME MORE
Here is Rob exhausted from eating. Not only did he get a push pop but it was finally nice enough for the kids to play outside. Rob really doesn't remember good weather. He was going crazy and so excited to be playing out doors. You can tell by his dirty hands he was having a grand old time.

We started a huge project on Friday of staining our cabinets. So far so good, and we are almost done. I will post a after picture as soon as we are done. It has been a tough project though. We have one more coat left to do on the doors and then we will be done. It already looks better. One crazy thing happened during our project though. Yesterday Cortney's friend Frank from his mission came over for a visit while we were staining. Cort stopped to go talk to them and left his bucket of stain on top of the fridge right in the crack of the door. I went to move the fridge and the freezer door came open and down poured the stain. All over the inside of the freezer. I am kicking myself now for not taking some pictures but in the heat of the moment I was way too stressed out for that. It was everywhere. It took about a half hour but Cortney and I finally got it cleaned up.

world wide web

I can't live without it the www. I never knew I was so addicted to it. We won't get ours back up untill Tuesday. So I will be back on TUES. Right now I am in Rexburg for our friend Jaxon's wedding. So exciting! All of our friends are here for the occasion so it should be a fun weekend. I will post when I get back. TUESDAY.

I'm BACK

I haven't had the internet at my house for the last couple of days and it is driving me CRAZY. I don't know how people exist without it. I can't. So it is good to hear that some of you missed me. The weird thing about blogging is that who knows who is reading. You type and type and never know who is reading or not. My mom was here this week also so I was pretty busy all week long. I've had a great week. I love when my mom comes to visit! I have been doing pretty good on phase two of South Beach. I have even lost another pound. Yeah. We went over to some people from our wards house last night for a little get to know you date. We ate dessert (yum...I ate a brownie and Ice cream) I wasn't going to be rude and not eat. It was worth every bite. We had a great time. I think they will be good friends. We have tons in common and they are looking for friends too. It was really fun, we were over there for 2 hours and the kids played great. They have two boys with another on the way. One of their kids has Juvinile Rhuematoid Arthritis so we have a lot to talk about. They also have a little Oliver. I gave both my kid hair cuts today so I will post some pictures as soon as I am at home. I am posting from my sisters house since I still have no internet. Since I am posting from here I put a couple of pictures on that I love, from the summer.
This is Rob and his cousin CAROLINA. The picture is blury but priceless I love that you can see her finger going in his eye. They are the best of friends but they sure know how to fight each other. She pulls his hair with both her hands. She won't be able to now with his new short hair cut.
Here are my boys in matching outfits at a car museum in Moses Lake. We went to visit and my dad slipped on a toy the kids left out and broke his leg. I love it when I can match my kids.

I will try to post more this week. I have just crashed. I was so sick and tired of not eating...walking around all over the place...and feeling guilty with every bite that I ate I just crashed I have been vegging and enjoying my mom all week.
