Happy Presidents Day!!!

Love,
Reagan, Lincoln & McKinley :)

Date with the big kids

We bought a membership to OMSI. I bought it on living social a few months ago for a screaming deal. My Mom had the great idea of watching McKinley while we took the big kids. We had so much with just the big kids and even went to an IMAX movie. It was called born to be wild and the kids loved it. Next Saturday we have another big kid date and are leaving McKinley with my mother in law this time. Again I bought a great coupon on a different site and it's going to expire if we don't use it. We are going to Evergreen wings & waves water park. Google it, it's going to be so much fun!!!

Our little valentines

Sorry this is late, but here is a picture of our little valentines. Oh how we love them!!

My Boyfriend, My Husband, My Best Friend, My Valentine

We got a real babysitter who fed, played with, and then put our kids to bed.
We went to our friend Loren's 40th birthday party. His wife Emily is my other bff. She rented the VIP room at a place called Game Time. We had 4 private bowling lanes, 2 servers, free drinks and a lot of fun. Our lane had a glitch which kept giving us strikes and spares even when it went into the gutter. It didn't happen every time but it sure did keep us on our toes. Tim's score was the only score that was closest to his actual score. He is an amazing bowler and a wonderful encourager. He scored a 276 on his 3rd game!!

Here are a few verses for my super sexy valentine.

Proverbs 5:18-19
Let your wife be a fountain of blessing for you. Rejoice in the wife of your youth. She is a loving deer, a graceful doe. Let her breasts satisfy you always.

Songs of Solomon 1:2
Kiss me and kiss me again, for your love is sweeter than wine.

Song of Solomon 2:16
My lover is mine, and I am his.

I love you Tim!!! This is our 14 valentine together and we still got it!!

Reagan's birthday celebrated at school

Since Reagan has a summer birthday we try to celebrate it as close to her half birthday as possible. Yesterday we had a little party at the end of class. It was very sweet, the teacher first prayed over Reagan and then everyone sang the happy birthday song with cute 2nd grade extras. Reagan wanted snicker-doodles & gummies for the snack. I tied on a ballon as an extra for the kids. I love her teacher and the class, such sweet kids.

Its out!

The top picture is of the actual Cat Scanner that found my stone. I named it Rocky because it has a hook and a point. I'm feeling much better and now have lots of good drugs left over. Score for me :)

Ouch

I woke up early this morning in pain. I went to the bathroom and nothing. I went back to bed and over the corse of the next hour my pain tripled. Tim finally called my dad around 3:45am. My Dad is an early riser and was able to take me to the ER and Tim stayed home with the kids. I was taken straight back, but didn't get pain meds until 6:15am. Above is my CT of the nasty kidney stone. Its about 4mm, which is average. I also have 3 to 4 more in my right kidney and 1 in my left. Boo! I'm heavily medicated and am resting at home. The dr. did say that the stone is at the end of it trip and very close to the bladder. Yeah! But until then I'm higher than a kite and taking Flo*max, which is what 70 year old men take for prostate issues. Apparently it helps relax the muscles so the stone can travel more easily.

I'll be back soon with an update and hopefully a picture of my stone, the name has yet to be decided. Possible names include, Sharon, Oliver, Rosetta, Rolling, Joss and Phillips. Get it? Hahaha, its kidney stone humor.

Groundhogs Day

Yikes, the groundhog saw his shadow!! 6 more weeks of winter and we are already climbing the walls.

Praying that silly animal is wrong.

Rearranging furniture

McKinley's bed use to be where Reagan's bed is now. Reagan's bed use to be where McKinley's bed is now. I don't know why I didn't do this last year. There is so much more play space and both girls just love it.

The only problem now is that Lincoln wants his room all rearranged. He wants something new. Oh goodness, I love that boy :)

A walk in the park.

Took the kids to the park after school on Thursday. It was McKinley's first time at the park to freely walk where ever she wanted to. She didn't even want to play at the playground, she just wanted to run. It was really cold, but fun to get out on a dry day in January. I just love this picture.
