up, up and away!!

i am lucky enough to have a brother that flies cute little airplanes. after about a year of nagging we finally got a chance to go for a ride with him. this was boy solomon & moses' first times EVER flying!!

solly (hold his flat stanley) & mojo

excited & ready to fly!!

mama & mojo ready for takeoff

uncle andy & solly waiting our turn for takeoff

out house is right about dead center in this picture!

deep lake!!

while i was sweating and ready to hurl moses was just chillin out (while yodeling & singing twinkle twinkle christmas star...what a weirdo!)

turns out (despite the smile) solly was feeling green as well

through the tad bit of motion sickness (no one actually hurled) we had a GREAT time!! we got to fly over our house, solly's school/friends house, grammy's house and our whole town!!

THANK YOU uncle andy for the best day of summer vacation so far!!!

good times

friday was the "entertainment night" fundraiser at church. it was a blast! a few of my favorite people had a lot to do with it (anfuny, becca, rose, sarah...just to name a few) i think that moses is in love with anthony's musical capabilities! if anthony was singing or playing the guitar, moses had his eyes fixed on him and was in complete awe! it was pretty cute. we had a great time! rose drove over to see us on friday and joined us at the church. it's always good to see my bff rose! she stayed the night and today we took the boys to the mall. we just really wanted some chocolate covered gummy bears (it was so worth the drive) but while we were there i found a dress to wear to my brothers wedding next week (that was no small miracle for me)
but now rose has gone home, i feel like barfing after tanning (weird napping while being really hot is NOT a good combo) and tomorrow i will have an extra 1 1/2 year old in the house (ALL DAY) but i am hoping to make it over to becca's tomorrow after church for a little lunch party (i'll be sure to get all kinds of pictures of that :D)
so that's about it....sorry it's not more exciting...better luck tomorrow.

please let this be over!

so just when i thought moses was feeling better, just when i thought he might sleep through the night with out anymore diarrhea, just when i thought he was done barfing...it all hit him at once. at about 11:30 last night (right as i was thinking about going to bed) he woke up cover in barf. so we washed him up and tried to put him back to bed...that wasn't working so i got him up and put on kung fu panda i figured he'd get tired soon enough, but then he barfed a little more and then started really whining like he was in some serious pain, so after a few more episodes and about 2 or 3 more diapers i decided to put him in the car and drive around. he LOVES being in the car. so after a nice 45 min drive around town he started whining again so i headed for home but was not quite fast enough and as we pulled in the driveway he exploded again. i got him changed again. by then he was falling asleep. so we put him in bed and tip-toed out of his room...he was quiet (yay) so we went to bed finally at 1:30 but we expected to be up several more times in the night...and we were wrong (yay again) the next thing i knew it was 8am (oh shoot i didn't set my alarm)
so far he seems to be feeling much better today (praise the Lord) he is eating like crazy and so far no poop & no puke. i am so thankful that God answers prayer. now hopefully He heard me when i said that solomon better not get this flu!! (just kidding God...sorta)
it is a very helpless feeling to have a sick baby and not be able to do anything for them. a feeling that i hope i don't have to feel for quite a while!

oh and dinner went pretty good last night. jake ate way to much cause he knew i would kill him if he didn't finish his food. i made yummy potatos and some veggie to go with it:
the banana bread could have been better but it was awful especially when it was warmed up with some butter on it!
i did just make some cupcakes for solly's class. they are celebrating his birthday today in class because his birthday falls on the thursday during spring break. and my cupcakes rock! they are so good!!!

i will try to remember to bring my camera to the "party".

church, barf & costco

yep. that sums up my day.
church was good. moses was feeling good. he was looking like he wanted to sleep forever by the time we left so i brought him straight home and put him down for a nap. about 45 min later he was awake and i went to get him and the next thing i remember was an explosion of barf and then a few small aftershocks. after he was clean and dressed we went to costco to stock up on diapers.
he is now happily sleeping...i wish i was.

i am going crazy. i know that i am moving soon...but it just doesn't feel soon enough. people in the house are acting more annoyed with me. i am as always more annoyed with them. i don't want to do anything but pack and get outta here!!! i suppose that means i should start packing...boy am i in for a shock when i start and realize how much crap i have laying around here. i don't care i'll pack it all up, get the heck out of here, then have a garage sale when i move!!!
hurry time, move faster!

one of those days...

...i'm pooped. my day (against my will) started at 6 am. my poop mosey was coughing and was feeling a bit warm. so after getting him all taken care of i tried to get back to sleep before i had to get up at 7...no such luck (of course). so after listening to jake snore for almost an hour i dragged my butt outta bed and got in the shower. a gour later rose, mosey, solly and i were on the road to take rose home. so to yak and back i went again. moses fared the trip pretty well but by the time we got home he was feeling terrible. so i put him down for a nap and that didn't last long i usually let him talk to himself for a while after waking up but this time when i went in to get him he was sitting in barf (poor kid) so the rest of the evening i spent with moses glued to me...i mean i couldn't get 2 feet away from him. so jake got home from work and took over while i went to church to work in the nursery. after a painful hour and half of watching weird kids. i stopped at the store to find anything i could to help moses feel better. so i got home and did what i could for the poor little guy and got him to bed. i have a feeling that i'll be up more than once tonight. it's gonna be a long night to follow up my long day...and i'm already pooped out!

on a completely different note: blogging is weird i feel like i'm talking to myself...but somehow it's still fun. someday i'll have a cool blog...maybe when i finally get a life.

well goodnight friends...keep it classy!
