As a belated birthday gift to me Clint planned a date to watch New Moon. My parents watched the kids and we went to a 10:30 am showing. I LOVED it and we enjoyed our time together. Since he and I are both less stressed this year we are really enjoying each other so much more. It's nice to be able to see through all the craziness and remember why I married this wonderful man. I am so grateful for him in my life and all that he does to make sure I am happy.

Get to know my kids
I am so thankful for my kids. They bring me such joy! At our house on any day Conner asks for these things, "Go Dog Go", Barney, Maripos
a, Kung Fu Panda, Backyardigans and quesadillas. These are his favorite things. He would watch each of these shows
ALL DAY LONG
if I let him. He LOVES Kung Fu Panda the best. 
He thinks it's so funny, I hear him laugh and laugh when he watches it. It's nice that Kaily likes it too. "Go Dog Go" is what he wants every morning and every night before bed. He likes other books, but this one he loves. He will eat a 
variety of 2 food groups, dairy and grains. If it has carbs he loves it. If it's a veg he hates it and fruit is a mood thing. I don't fight this one, b/c have you ever tried to argue with a 22 month old, you loose every time.
Kaily is my great helper. She does just about anything I ask her to do. There are times when she complains, but for the most part she is wonderful.
I don't know what I would do with out her. Her favorite things right now are a little more difficult to pin down. She loves to play house and pretend, loves to do art projects and enjoys learning to read. She doesn't have any show or any toy that she likes better than another. Her favorite color is still pink and she loves breakfast. It's kind of a struggle to get her to eat any other meal, but if I serve breakfast food she loves it.

My Birthday
WOW, my b-day came up out of no where this year. So 
what did I do for my b-day? Sunday night, the night before my b-day, my family got together at my parents house to do the annual b-day dinner. My dad made an excellent meal, as always, and then he had a fudge brownie frozen yogurt for me since I can't eat icecream much these days. It was devine and the nice part was that it was SO rich I could only have one scoop. On the actual day, Monday, I started running outside with a friend of mine so I got up at 5:30 so I could meet her at her house. When Kaily got up she imediatly told me "Happy Birthday". She was very c
ute all day about it. Later, Clint, the kids and I all went to TGI Fridays for dinner and then to see A Christmas Carol. Kaily had been bugging me about it since the PR event with the train. 
Dinner was really good, I had a turkey burger and sweet potato fries. MMMM...The movie was really well done, but there were some really scary parts in it. Kaily liked it and has plagued me with questions about Marley ever since. After that I went straight to bed, I was exhausted. It was a good day and I talked to all of my brothers between the two days. It was good to hear from everyone.

What a weekend!
What a weekend we had. Last Thursday Conner got really sick. Kaily got sick on Tuesday with a slight fever and then came the coughing and a cold. I had been watching Conner closely to see if he was going to get 
Kaily's cold so I knew when he starting acting funny that something might be wrong. We were at the store when IT hit him hard, the H1N1 virus. At first we didn't know that's what it was though. Friday, after having a pretty high fever for almost 24 hrs even with Tylenol, we took him in. They ran some tests and after all of it was done they said they were fairly certain it was H1N1. GREAT, I thought! Well, at least he can get over it and hopefully we don't get it too. By the time the night rolled around his fever had dropped and by the next day he was fine. We waited the appropriate 24 hrs after the fever wa
s gone to take him out, that was Sunday. Sunday, because both kids were feeling better, we went to a family get together in Saratoga Springs. We had a great time meeting new family and chatting. When it was time to go home our car wouldn't start. We said many prayers and pleaded with the Lord for help and all the men came out to see if they could help. NOTHING. That car was stuck and we were stuck 1 1/2 hrs from home. Luckily my parents just live 30 min away and they have an extra car they don't use very often because I don't know what we would have done. The next day we called around to see if we could get help to tow the car back up here to have it looked at. A good friend came through and helped us out. We found out it was our fuel pump. It just died. The mechanic said, I think, "It just got old and quit wking." So, what now...Well, Kaily still has a cough, Conner DID get Kaily's cold in the end and our car is better than it was, but I'm afraid the getting old part is just a sign of things to come.

Thankful
Today I am SO THANKFUL for a great family that helped us get home last night. I'm thankful that we could get together last night and get to know each other better. I'm thankful today that Conner had a very mild case of the H1N1 flu and that Kaily is getting better from her cold. Today I am Thankful for the priesthood in my home and for a wonderful husband who strives everyday to be the best he can. Today I'm thankful...
