happy spring!

weekend

not much happened this weekend.  except for the fact that the boys were horrendous.  i need warm sunny days so we can go outside.  i like that it's warming up, but it's been raining buckets which isn't conducive to outside playing (though that's still much better than snow).  

friday night, my husband was kind enough to allow me to leave him with the kids so i could go out with my friend, jessica.  she just got a wii, and you all know how i feel about wii's.  it's love, pure and simple.  so that was loads of fun.  then we crammed down some steak 'n' shake and headed to a late movie.  i just love that gal, and we have bunches of fun together.  

saturday, the kids and i hung around the house all day while corey went to work.  they were in terrible moods and it was a very trying day.  but we all survived it, thank god, and bed time was the best part of the day.

today, we had church, and yay! a visit from kelly and her new beau, adam.  it's always great when we get to see kelly and today was no exception.  we chatted and laughed over lunch, and then parted ways.  kelly headed off to the hot dog shoppe and we came home, took naps and then corey headed back out to church while the kids and i stayed home. the kids were still in some pretty wacky moods, but the day did have it's moments.  jagger has been pretending to be a puppy fairly often lately.  he gets a big kick out of it.  he was a puppy for a pretty long time today and he finally let me take a picture of him.  so here's a pic of him panting:
and cash and slade have been fighting like crazy, but i was able to capture a little moment between the two of them here.  they're either sharing secrets or conspiring against me, i'm not sure which.
things got better once corey came home partly because the kids were so happy to see him and partly because it was time to put the kids to bed.  cash and slade went down first, and jagger stayed up for a bit longer.  which was fine until he went a little spastic, jumped on corey, and busted corey's nose.  it's not broken (we don't think), but it was bloody and he's really sore.  we'll see if he has a couple of shiners tomorrow.  now, jagger's asleep, pizza's coming, and it's time for some relaxing and tv watching.

thus ends our weekend.

ask and you shall receive

i apologize for the extended absence.

we went through a horrible round 2 of the flu.  jagger had it the worst, to the point where we thought we might need to take him to the hospital for dehydration because he couldn't keep anything down.  but in the end, with lots of prayers, he is back to his old healthy self (or least as healthy as we ever get in this house).

after all that fun, the fam and i decided to take some personal time and get out of town for a bit.  

and now we're back :)

so here's what up with today:

1.  slade took a few steps here and there.  the funny thing is, he actually started walking saturday night.  pretty good, too.  but i think he must have forgotten it all as he slept, because we haven't been able to get him to repeat his successful maneuvers.

2.  cash tripped and fell on his face, giving himself a nice big fat lip.

3.  jagger woke up from his nap in an extremely bad mood, and has been yelling at cash and slade all evening.  

now, i am going to try and get back into the routine of regularly posting.  i've not done it for so long, it's hard to get going again.  but by golly, i'm gonna try my darndest.  i do so hate to disappoint my fans :)
