New car, two sick kids and one sick husband

Well we found a car!!! Yay! It is a GMC Yukon! We are really excited about it. We are hoping it will do our family well for years to come. Mike got strep throat on Saturday. I felt so bad for him, he couldn't sleep a wink the whole night! I get it really bad too when I get it. Luckily I didn't get it from him, which is the first, last fall we passed it back and forth 3 times!! So, yesterday I took Lexi to the doctor, she has mild bronchulitis and a severe diaper rash due to major diarrhea UCK!! And then, I had to take Lockton to instacare because he had an ear infection, so two out of three kids are on antibiotics for the next ten days. I am just glad we found out the problem and they can get better. So I have been running again. I ran a mile this morning!!!!! I am going to run the 5K here in provo on july 4th. Katelyn wants to do it with me!! So, we will take it nice and slow, but it will be cool to say we have done it. I am going to sign Kate and Lock up for soccer. They played two seasons in Arizona and loved it. Tah tah for now.

2 broken down cars, 2 birthday parties, and 2 super fun days

So BOTH of our vans are broken down with blown engines. Fun times!! Luckily it is at the right time with our tax return coming soon. Katelyn is so excited for Caitlin Mayer's birthday party on Friday night!! And Lockton gets to go spend the night at Kristyn's for Liam's Birthday, he is so excited!! I am so excited for Sat. Feb. 13th we are having a sit down dinner/dance at our ward for valentine's day!! And I am excited for Valentine's Day!! Hope it is a special day with my wonderful hubby!

Slow recovery

So I started going running for the new year, I went 2.5 weeks and was up to 1 mile plus a lap. Then, I pulled or tore my calf muscle. It has been a slow recovery. This is going on the third week, and it still hurts. I hope it gets better soon, I was looking forward to dropping 20 lbs by May. We will be going to Disneyland and the beach and I was hoping to be in better shape by then. I am still doing other exercises at home, but I just hope that this recovery will happen soon.
So, I finally have put an ad for Mike's DJing business on KSL and Craiglist, and he will be doing a Bridal Fair in April. I am hoping to start selling on ebay and starting up a scrapbooking business. Charging to create scrapbook pages and/or whole scrapbooks for people who don't have the time or the know how. Anyway, hopefully that will work out for me. The kids are doing great. Katelyn has started an after school program, art and crochet. She is so good at crocheting already! Lockton can write his name really good and is learning letter sounds. Lexi is talking a ton! She is in the imitating stage. She imitates everything we say. Life is good, we love our ward!
