This is what I live for......

I came home from bunco the other night and found the sweetes things in my bed. And can I just tell you

it made me cry a little bit. Koy has been sick(again) and has been so cuddly. Caselyn has been kissing him and rubbing his head and will say "Are you ok koy-koy" or "Oh. how come you don't feel good big guy" She tries so hard to keep him comforted. I absolutley love being a mom, and I live for these moments!

My funny little princess

So this is kind of a random post but Caselyn said the funniest thing and I know you all will love to hear this. Ashley, My sister in law was babysitting Caselyn and McKoy while Casey and I went to a movie. They were watching Nate(casey's cousin) play basketball, when it was time to leave Ashley noticed that McKoy was stinky so she told Caselyn that she hadto change her brothers diaper when they got home. Caselyn said "I don't want to do it, you have to." And Ashley said "I don't want to change him either, he stinks." so Caselyn responded in her darling high pitched voice "Maybe we can just squish it back in." Where did she even come up with that?

Home Sweet Home

FINALLY MY KITCHEN IS DONE!!! With the exception of the base boards being re-painted(just waiting on casey for that), and we don't have the handles yet but i have new linoleum, new cabinets, a new sink and garbage disposal, new lights, my carpet is back in, a new paint job in the laundry room, I have a brand new dishwasher, Casey's dad bought us that as a "glad you have your house back" present. A huge pantry and more cupboard space than I know what to do with. Here are some before, during and after pics. Thanks to Farmers Insurance, Rod Cloward for the cabinets, Brad Grover and his electrician and plumber friends! It pays to know people!

V.I.P.

Every year one of my father in law's clients gives him 4 VIP passes to a jazz game. The VIP tickets include an all you can eat buffet, there was roast beef, stuffed manicotti, creamy chicken and rice soup, and a salad bar. We also got front row seats, free all you can eat nachos and popcorn at half time, and free drinks. I have been a couple of other times but this time was by far the best! It was such an intense game, my throat was sore from screaming so much. The Spurs won by only 6 points, 100-106. We went with Jesse and Megan(casey's brother and his wife). Going to these games make other sporting events not near as much fun, ya know without the VIP treatment. We were sitting on the Spurs side and got to watch them warm up, and WOW i actually remembered my camera. I know, I know. I can hardly believe it myself! So here are the pics of Tim Duncan, Tony Parker, and Manu Ginobli. It's really hard to take pics while they are playing so I only got a few of the Jazz, and 1 good of Okur. Can't wait til next year!!!!

Four Years!

It was our 4th anniversary on December 11th. We celebrated by going to Salt Lake, we stayed at the Radisson Hotel and had dinner at the gateway, did a little shopping. And then slept like babies with no kids waking us up at four in the morning. Actually I still woke up at four, I guess my body didn't realize there was no kid crying. But this time I got to just roll over and go back to sleep. The room had one of those sleep number beds and I want one for christmas. It was so soft and comfortable. Once again I brought my camera but the batteries were dead, So here are some of my favorite pictures of him.

And... Here are some things I love about My wonderful Husband:

1- He always keeps me laughing
2- He has a lot of patience(he keeps me under control, like when Caselyn draws on my bedroom door, and the walls in my bedroom, and the light switch, and in the hallway, and the car door, and her pants)

3- He is a hard worker, always working extra hours, and doing side jobs for people.

4- He always kisses me and tells me he loves me before he leaves for work and before we go to bed.

5- He is such an amazing dad

6- He is working hard to put my kitchen back together

7- He takes me hunting with him

8- He cleans the bathroom

9- He usually lets me be the boss(or at least lets me think I am)

10- He takes me to eat at Panda Express to cheer me up

11- He plays with the kids

12- He doesn't make me mow the lawn

13- He always shovels the driveway for me

14-and starts my car when its cold in the morning

15- and most of all i love that he loves me

Just a little late....

HAPPY THANKSGIVING! We went to big ol burley idaho to spend thanksgiving with my mom and grandparents. It's different being up there because my mom is only child so we are the only cousins. The first couple nights we stayed at Grandma Dayce's which is always so much fun and amazingly good food for every meal. On black friday we went to wal mart at about 3 in the afternoon and there were like 20 people there, nothing like everywhere else where people were getting trampled and shot at. Then we went to an even bigger town called gooding, its about 30 or 40 miles from twin falls. It was a nice break until we all started getting sick. McKoy was the first one to start throwing up, then the next day Grandpa leonard and my mom got sick, then the next day, Grandma Dayce, me and casey caught it, We had to have Kole drive home cause neither of us could stop puking long enough drive. Thanks to Brock and Lindsay for letting Caselyn ride with them so that we had one less person to take care of. Then when we got home sunday night caselyn was throwing up. And now it has gone through casey's entire family. Kole had it monday and Andie got it too... It's like some magic contagious super bug. AND IT IS AWFUL! But we are all back to normal, we should start placing bets on who is going to get it next. But that's not the worst thing that happened. On sunday night we pulled into our driveway at about ten o'clock exhausted from the drive home and just wanting to crawl into bed.... we opened the door..... and our water heater was gushing water..... EVERYWHERE!!!!! Our living room carpet was soaked and our wood floor ruined! Casey had to take monday off work to pull up the carpet and the pad and try to stop mold from growing. Well we called our insurance and they sent some people out who proceeded to tear up our wood floors and drill holes into the dry wall, cut holes in the living room floor, and place ten very loud industrial fans throughout our house. We have now had the fans for 2 nights and will have them through the weekend, and they have to be running at all times. We did end up getting some money from the insurance to have the floors replaced but I don't know if this will all be taken care of before christmas, which sucks! We may not even be able to put a christmas tree this year. So if any of you know someone who can lay wood floors let me know. At first I was fuming mad and complaining why us, why right before christmas? But it really has turned out to be a blessing, we will probably actually have a little extra money to buy christmas presents or a new dishwasher or new countertops. So... I'm thankful that my water heater leaked. I'm also thankful for my Father in law- Brad the Barber cause he has been down at my house helping with the clean up, and had a guy fix the water heater and is going to have someone re-install the carpet after he has it cleaned. I'm also thankful for my Dad for waiting at my house while they service master guys tore it apart, and for DeAnn feeding us since we don't have a kitchen and for Chiara and everyone I work with for listening to me complain. And for everyone else in my family who has helped or listened! LOVE LOVE LOVE YOU ALL!!!!!
