Not another thing.....

Okay so Friday the 5, I was cleaning the kids rooms and all of a sudden......I got a pain in my butt. Yep that's right, in my butt. Do you think that maybe it was because I was cleaning the bedroom's of my dear sweet children? Anyway the pain did not stop there, it traveled down my leg and into my feet, and now I have not felt my big toe and it's surrounding area for almost 2 weeks! So after many attempts to the chiropractor, I decided to go to my primary care dr. He is now sending me for a cat scan (no MRI-Pacemaker) with and without contrast. I am also going to a pain management doctor and a neurologist. I have to have some kind of nerve scan. FUN FOR ME!!!!!! I know that you are all jealous, because I got to spend a week in bed on loratab and muscle relaxers. As of now, my Christmas tree is not decorated, there are Christmas bins in my living room, my shopping is not done, and my cards have yet to be sent out and the big day is next week. Oh, and we are leaving town on Wednesday. Na, I not stressed or worried. I'm taking pain killers. So if any of you see me around this week and I look like a character from Fraggel Rock, you will know why. I think that this is just one more pain in the butt that I can blame on the kids. But, at night when they are asleep and are peaceful...just for those few moments before you go to sleep...kinda makes it all worth it.

Moral of the story....Cleaning your kids room can cause a pain in the butt!
p.s. if your Christmas cards are late, I am blaming it on the loratab!

Halloween...(don't laugh, better late than never)

We were in Salt Lake for Halloween because of Lacey's wedding. Shayna wanted to be Gaberiella from HSM2 when she is a life guard, but I told her that we were going to SLC for Halloween and that it would be too cold. So, she setteled on being a witch. Bryce was going to be a ninja, but changed his mind at the last minute and was a boxer. We went to my sister's ward/neighborhood trunk-or-treat and they we went trick-or-treating in my Mom's neighborhood. We had a really great time and it was so fun to spend the holiday with my family. We have never done that before, it was a fun change!

Happy Birthday Lil Cubby..

On October 10 was Bryce's 6th birthday. He was so excited. He got a Backugon game, Pokeman Wii game, Pokeman shirt, Madden 08 for the Wii, a jacket, and some money. We then ended the day with a trip to Peter Piper Pizza for some games and pizza with the Van Wagoners. He had a great time. We are so lucky to have Bryce in our lives. He makes us so happy. Bryce always tells us how he loves everybody. When bryce was born my mom always said how he looked like a bear cub. Bryce, we love you so much and you bring so much joy to our lives.

Our Special Day....

On September 4, 2008, we were sealed as a family for all Eternity. It was such a wonderful expierence. We had many friends and family that traveled from out of town. Thank you to all of you who attended our sealing and those of you who have been such wonderful exampeles to Shane and I. As Elder Holland put it, thank you for being our "Ministry of Angels". We have more joy and happiness in our family that ever befor. Thank you for all you do. We love you!

I'm such a SLACKER......

I have not been working since school started. All of our projects were shut down. So I thought great, I will stay home, clean my house, keep up on my blog, and get organized and skinny. Needless to say that has not happened, but I do go to the gym in the mornings. I know that I need to update and at least put pics up from the Temple and I promise they will be here soon, but I need my photographer to take off about 30lbs off me. So anyhow, bare with me and I hope to get stuff up soon. Love to you all!!!
