Suprise Party

We had the best weekend, Shauna and her family flew in from N.C. and spent four days in Utah it was so good to see them, we have missed them tons. When we got the news about Shauna coming to Utah we planned a surprise party for Kara. She turned 30 on Christmas day this year, and it was impossible to plan her a party during the holidays. So we decided to throw a late surprise party....she had no idea. We had so much fun even my mom, Dean and Heather made it. I wish I could spend every weekend with my sisters. I am so grateful to have such wonderful family my sisters are my rock! I could never make it without them, I love you guys!

Boys will be Boys

I have slacking on my blogging duties, however I have had nothing great and exciting to post. We have been keeping busy with the usual everyday activities at our house.
I am soooooo excited that January is half over I have cabin fever terribly. Next week Shauna and her Family are flying in from North Carolina and I cant wait to spend the weekend with them. My kids are keeping me busy busy, and Jaxon is still into EVERYTHING. Last Thursday he woke up at 3:00 a.m. and had no desire to go back to bed. After trying for about 1/2 hour it was clearly obvious he was ready to party. I took him out to the living room and layed a blanket on the floor hoping he would lay down by me and fall asleep. The only one who fell asleep was of coarse me! You have no idea the mess I woke up to. He unloaded every cupboard and drawer in the house. Cups, spoons, pans, lids, everything! Then apparently he got hungry so he helped himself to the cereal, when he was finished he just dumped the remainder on the floor, with the dog food. He probably had some dog food as well. Then he made his way to the bathroom. He dumped out all the q-tips and bobby pins, before he went for the toilet and found a box of tampons and dumped them in the toilet. When I went in the next morning there were about six still floating. Needless to say it took me a while to clean up.... once again I was late for work. When I got home that night I was putting some groceries away and as I turned the lazy Susan around I found some remaining ''party favors'' left behind. If you look closely you will notice the wrappers on the tampons have been wet. Apparently they too were in the toilet! I can only imagine what the terrible two's may bring!!!



Next we have Mason's battle wounds. His first black eye... he ran head on with a 2x4 sticking out of the back of Kevin's truck! I'm not kidding it is never dull moment at the Mickelsen's house.
