my sister called

ok, she didn't really call, but she did text me.
her text said:

um...update your blog please i'm bored.

she also said something about needing to see "new pics of those cute faces." i'm assuming she means my kids' cute faces--since she doesn't usually refer to me, or my hubs as "cute." so sissy, this update is for you- sort of.

lets start at the very beginning, a very good place to start, when you....just kidding. but seriously, lets start at the beginning...of the year, since that is where i left off.

january was nothing special--maybe you noticed, since i never updated. the calendar was full though, see:

basketball.

both boys have been going to basketball camp. they love it. they go every saturday at 4 pm and are so much fun to watch. the first week they were really awkward with the basketball and i couldn't quit giggling at their uncoordinated little bodies. they are on week 5 and they both have improved so much. connor can handle the ball really well, and dylan is quite the little shooter! 

doctor.

sam and dylan both went to see the doctor for ear infections. they are the story of my life. my kids get the slightest little sniffle and it turns into a nasty ear infection. every time. the doctor who saw dylan didn't believe me when i told him "we'll see you in a few days for an ear infection" after taking him to try to get on top of it. the doc saw fluid in his ear but no redness so he sent us home empty handed--we were back 2 days later, at the night clinic, diagnosed with a double ear infection. i aint no doctor but i do know my kids! {that being said, we love our doctor, he really is a great guy!}

dentist.

paul went in to see the dentist, and i think he had a cavity filled. easy breezy.

work.

paul had to go up to the pleasant grove office to work for 2 weeks. it sucked. i hated not having him home. the first week was ok and the second week my mom and brother came and spent the week with me and the kids. it was so nice having adults to talk to. we shopped, wandered around town, and just talked. it was fun having them around. my kids loved having them here too!

another thing i guess i could include in the work area of life is that i got a job. now don't go freaking out because i got a job. my cousin hooked me up with a sweet deal. she does title searches and stuff like that. she needs somebody here in st. george to print out information from the recorders office and email the papers up to her. easy. i get paid. no stress. i can bring my kids. i've had to go to the office twice and it took a total of 10 minutes! so yes, i have a job--if you want to call it that! and i donate plasma, which my aunt thinks is disgusting and dirty. i like to think of it as saving lives--and making a quick buck!

birthdays.
sam had a birthday. a second birthday to be exact. she is two. that is just nonsense. she is just the same sweet little sassy curly haired baby. we just love her to bits. she loves to sing "popcorn popping" "wise man, foolish man" "itsy bitsy spider" and "twinkle twinkle." she loves to make animal noises, but thinks it is more fun to ask us what the animals say. it is so funny. she knows that she is cute--is that a bad thing? she loves to have her picture taken, but she is only good for one or two shots then she just wants to see herself. she is an iphone ninja. she can add and delete contacts/apps and information on my phone faster than i can! my brother couldn't believe she could unlock and navigate my phone. she's a ninja i tell you. 

{Grammy bought her this cute new "princess dress"--she loves it}

working out.
so i joined the gym. again. we joined a gym back in january of 2009 and then something about a brain tumor, chemotherapy and a crap load of doctor visits put a halt on our gym-going ways. and since then we haven't been back. paul joined a gym a few months ago, but i was stubborn and didn't want to go to the same gym...i need classes, not just the gym. so i waited it out and just barely jumped on a great opportunity to join the gym just a few blocks away (and they have daycare! bonus.) i love going to the gym. i love the classes, i love getting sore muscles, and i love that it is literally a few blocks away. 

ok, so this is a long post. february is here, almost half way over, and we are just doing our thing. life is good. paul is crazy busy at work and the kids are busy with school and i am busy being mom and wife--and trying to get my old body back! 

peace out.
