So I moved one of the boys beds down to the garage and have their mattresses in the "play room" to sleep on for now (I am changing their linens so that is why you see just mattress)
I am wanting to paint their bedroom and get it all set up for them to be in again and then we will work on the baby's room when we know if it is a boy or a girl.
In their bedroom I kept one of the futons where I eventually want a bunk bed to go and then I will put the futon in the baby's room for a guest bed.
We put the TV in the boys closet and so that their play room and bedroom are combined and put one drawer full of cars and trains to play with on the rug in their bedroom.
I have the rest of their toys under the stairs in the "toy room" and I am trying to organize that for a nice functional area for them to play while being close to me.
Our back patio where we play and chill
My lettuce where I have already had 2 clippings from. Yum!
My peas are growing pretty good too. Can't wait for them to have blossoms
So we celebrated Gideon's Birthday yesterday by blowing up balloons nad having a couple of the neighbor girls to come over and have ice cream, oreo crumbs and gummies for a "dirty" treat and we sang happy birthday and everyone got to blow out their own candles. Gideon seemed to enjoy that and they all played in the tiny little sand box and ran around spraying eachother with the hose....I should of got pictures, I know.
Yesterday I actually got my house clean. All last week I felt pretty sick almost everyday and had no energy or motive to clean. Well with feeling a little better yesterday I used that to get some things done.
I am 8 1/2 weeks now and have felt just yucky but at least I haven't been throwing up.. I can start to feel a small bump in my lower abdomen for my sign of pregnancy. So that is fun.
I took my car in yesterday after looking around for a reasonable price and found out the problem was smaller than I expected. I guess an electronic piece that goes with the transmission broke and was causing it to not shift at all. So they will fix today or tomorrow and I will get it back....I just hope that is all.
Grandma's package for the boys birthday's came today and they got a stomp rocket which is a non stop entertainer! They Love it!! They love their clothes, cards, candy, games and everything. Thank you mom!!
Shooting the rocket across the living room. This thing is Awesome!! They are having so much fun with it.
The boys are loving that they are older. I can't believe I have a 3 and 5 year old.
It is hard having Joseph away. We miss him A LOT. I am just so grateful for technology and Skype and how we are able to connect as a family, be there for each other and share our lives together even when we are apart. I fall more in love with Joseph everyday and I am such a blessed girl to have him in my life.
The weather has been so dry here lately. The pollen is the worst I have ever seen. Every morning their is a new thick layer of gold dust over everything. When you walk through the grass plumes of pollen puff up as you disturb it with your feet. We have probably have had 1 week out of 2 months of actual rain. The boys and I have coughs and dry throats from it too. Today it sprinkled rain and we just hope there is more to wash it all away. But we have been enjoying the sunshine. It has been like summer already. We play in our swimsuits in the back yard with the hose going.
So I am coming to IDAHO!!!! I am so excited!!! I signed up for space A which is space on C17 cargo planes that you can catch a ride on. So we plan on coming at the end of May and staying till the end of June. I can't wait to see you all. We will see if things go according to plan. You compete for a place on the plane so I may or may not come when I would like but we shall see. I would be flying into Mchord AFB in Washington near Seattle and then catch a ride from there to Boise.
So we have these bugs everywhere that apparently lay there eggs in your grass and the larvae eat your grass so we shall see how bad they really are. The boys call them spider flies.
Hope you all have a great week. Love you all and I love the gospel of Jesus Christ. I am so grateful for the Easter season to remind us of Christ and that he does live and loves us very much.
