I Love Vacuuming

The other day we got a new vacuum and I love it! We had our old one for about 7 years (it was a wedding gift) and it was OK while it lasted. It did what we needed until the past year or so. We started noticing that our carpets weren't as clean as we wanted, so we had it serviced. It did a little better for a while, but it wasn't long before it sucked again...I mean wouldn't suck anymore.

So we started looking into getting a new one or I should say Ryan started looking into it. Anyone that knows Ryan knows that he usually will never buy anything unless he has all the facts and has researched the heck out of it and I’m glad he did.

We decided on a Dyson Ball and it is the best thing! I never knew how much crap and dirt was really in our carpet until the other day when I first vacuumed. I've vacuumed our upstairs carpet 3 times now and ever day I continue to get a ton of dirt and junk up.

I didn't think vacuuming could be fun, but it kind of is - for now.

Hayden’s 6th Month Checkup

Hayden had his checkup yesterday and he is doing great. I wish I could put some pictures up of him, but still no camera. I think we are getting it on Friday.

Anyway here are his stats:

Weight: 16 lbs. 6 oz. = 27% percentile

Height: 27” = 60% percentile

Everything else looked great. The doctor did comment on his crooked little mouth and smile, but Ryan and Alex have the same little mouth so I’m not too worried about it.

Fun Weekend…Poor Camera

Well it’s been some time since I have posted anything with pictures because our camera was getting fixed. The day before our trip to St. George the camera guy called and said that it would cost $140.00 to fix it. Well, you can basically buy a new camera for about that much. So we had to give it up and we’ll get a new one.
Luckily my parents were nice enough to let us borrow their camera while we went away for the weekend and here are just a few pictures of our fun weekend in warm St. George.

We went to a wild life museum, swimming, shopping and Snow Canyon. We also threw some pottery with Grandpa Gary and were able to watch him throw too.
Thursday was my birthday and my Dad made a great duch oven dinner and even made me a cake. I made the frosting and let’s just say things did not turn out quite right. Ryan and the kids gave me a gift card for an hour massage which I can’t wait to use.

All in all it was a great getaway and a great birthday. My only complaint was that it was too short and the weather in Idaho sucks. The snowy drive home yesterday, made us appreciate the trip that much more!

Pay It Forward

How it works: The FIRST THREE people to leave a comment on this post will receive at some point during this year a gift from ME. What it will be and when it will arrive will be a total surprise--to both of us.The CATCH is that YOU MUST PLAY TOO! Before you leave your comment here, write a pay it forward post on your blog to keep the fun going (you can cut and paste these instructions). Then come back and let me know that you are going to play, and sit back and anticipate the arrival of your gift. It's THAT easy!
Remember, only the FIRST THREE comments will qualify. Yea!

Quick Update

Not much has been going on around here. Connor has speech therapy once a week and O.T. therapy once a week as well so that has been keeping us busy.

Our camera is in the shop right now getting fixed so I don’t have any new pictures of the kids.

We are planning on going to St. George on the 12th of March to one, get away from this cold weather and to see my Dad. It should be fun.

Some of our upcoming events are registering Alex for Kindergarten which is crazy to me. She will also be starting soccer in April and I’ll be coaching her team.

Hayden will be starting physical therapy for torticollis (his flat head) in the next week or two. As for Ryan he is the good husband and Dad as usual and he is working hard every day for our family. What a great man.

That’s about it for us lately. Hopefully we’ll be getting our camera back soon.

Happy Valentines Day

Here’s wishing you all a very happy valentines day.

Breathing Treatment

It takes about ten minuets every four hour to give Hayden his breathing treatment, for the most part he does pretty good, but really who likes having something over there month and nose. I know I hated it when I had to have oxygen when I was in labor.

Poor little guy.
