What a week! Phew.....

So this week started out with Spencer crawling into our bed saying, "Mom, i dont feel so good, my tummy aches." And me asking, well whats it feel like as i look at the clock and it's 3:45... I need a drink of water. Thankfully I had some by my bed and he crawled down and got it and sat on the floor drinking...when suddenly he vomits all over the floor and on my pillow. WOOF. So spencer woke up with the flu, and everyone here in Pullman are being cautious @ the swine flu cases here, where they even announced in church not to come if anyone in your house even had 1 symptom. So lucky Spencer got out of a talk in primary. And we stayed home. Cameron had a mild fever. But alas it was only a 2 day flu bug. Then we had shots this week, dr. appt.s, school. Scott just took his first test of the semester today. Good luck Daddy! Scott's Little SIB and his wife just had their baby this morning at 2 something. Another little girl, 8 lbs. 6 oz. 20 ", but the name isnt there yet. So congratulations to the Noall's!They have the cutest little girls. We've had a lot of fun watching them this week.
Just a little side note,When I saw Christina last night, as she was leaving for the hospital, I remembered something. The moment where the pain of child birth that we suppress until were there and think oh crap, I remember that... and then a little bit of fear for me. Cause ive been thinking about maybe having another and how much fun little ones are, and then when i saw her and she had that look, and i remembered. And now im thinking not so much. Sorry im just ranting on and on...I took the girls up to the hospital today and we saw the baby, and she's beautiful. i dont know, that might make up for it...Im ready for a NAP

Happy 39th wedding Anniversary Mom & Dad!


WOW! 39 years is a big one! It's crazy to think my parents have been married that long. I hope you have many more years together! Youve been through so much and you have helped me and my family and i am incredibly grateful to you for all that you do for our entire family. We love you Grandpa and Grandma Thomas! Happy 39th!

A summer of first's

This summer we have had a lot of first's so bear with me. And here we go!

1.The 1st time living with someone else! We love you Great Grandpa Morley!
2.Kids first time on Grandpas golf cart!

3.1st time and hopefully only time Spencer crashed the golf cart into grandpa's house while trying to drive it! He was so scared. he totally thought he could handle it and disobeyed and oh boy!Sometimes you learn the hard way!
4.1st time we went to the Burley toilet! I mean kids pool. They actually call it that though:)

5.Cameron turned two June 18th!We had a lot of fun with family and had a little party with my Mom and Dad and Karianne, Grandpa, Aunt Tammi and Jayme, Uncle Tony and Aunt Jane and Craig.


6.My first wheelbarrow cake! you eat or serve it with shovels! So fun and so easy! & a bonus toy! What could be better!

7.Scott's little brother got married to miss(MRS.)Kimmie! July 17th!Pictures to come, as soon as i find that adapter! We are so excited for these guys! Super cute!
8.We have been searching all summer for these frogs which are so elusive... i mean scotts in his mucking boots out in the swamp marsh outside and were out with flashlights and still could'nt find them. But alas, we were told there were tons up at terre view park and we went there one night and there were so many of them. Super small, but so many that the ground looked like it was moving! The boys loved it! We caught 8 and kept 2. Scott built a terrarium and we had them as pets for 3 weeks. The sucky part was catching bugs every day. Fun at first and then a chore thereafter. We let them go on Labor Day because we couldnt catch them enough food, its getting too cold. So we all marched out and said goodbye and the kids said they'd see them next year. Bye, love you.. Way too cute.

9.Scott was called to be the 2nd Counselor of the singles ward here, two weeks after we started going to the family ward. and then church changed to 1p.m..... Its actually not that bad. Everyones really nice, and the kids are getting used to it. But I sure did take Scott for granted being there with me. Never again.:)
10.Spencer learned how to ride his bike without training wheels and it took him all of what a week! He loves it and is performing tricks like taking his foot off the pedal:)But he did run into the back of that parked truck....


11.Went to Island Park with my parents for the weekend and had a lot of fun. We went to West Yellowstone and bought a family christmas ornament(tradition), and went to Big Springs to feed the ginormous fish there(sorry u cant fish there-illegal). I love Island Park. Hopefully we can get there for a whole week next summer.


12. Spencer started Preschool this last week. He loves it,and was excited that half of his class is there again this year. He has a new teacher, Mrs. Shana. and of course he gets to ride the bus. Funny but all the preschools have these short buses, but the kids dont care, its just their size and they love it. Cameron wanted to go this year. He even wore his backpack to take and pick up Spencer from school. Next year buddy.
13. We bought our first vehicle since being married! And yes its a minivan! A pontiac montana. Never heard of it, me neither, but i sure like it. An old family friends son is a dealer in Boise and watched the auctions for us and got this one off another dealer. Pictures to come.. Thanks Dad and Doug for driving it up to us this week! You guys are awesome!
14. And scott has started his 2nd year of vet school. He likes it alot better than first year. They say each year gets better. Im excited for him and i am very proud of how hard he works. Love you hun!Eu Amo' Te

The boys loved their new slip n' slide



So here we go again

I started this blog just before school ended and we left and now i will try to fill you in on our funfilled summer! In May, we loaded up the truck with everything you could imagine needing for a family of four for 6 weeks. And we went to Burley, ID. Scott had an internship in Jerome ID at a dairy,and since his grandpa lives in Burley we were all able to go. We ended up having a great time. The kids could go out and play and just have fun without me worrying about weirdi's lurking about. We were able to get to know Grandpa Morley a lot better, oh and he had ablast with the kids. Our friend Craig,(another vet student in scotts class)came and stayed there as well. We had a lot of fun visiting with family,(cause we were much closer) and having BBQs and being together. I really enjoyed having more time with Scott. He gets so busy during the school year and I loved every minute we had this summer. It was kind of sad last week when he started 2nd year. But its not been so bad, i am starting to readjust. One thing Vet school has taught me is that i am stronger than i knew and to cherish the time we have with each other.(oops, i guess thats 2:)
