what a week!!!!

this week i turned into one of those annoying non-posters...sorry. now here it goes.

monday...caleb and i had dentist appointments. i hadn't been in a long while and caleb has never gone. bad mom, i know! we went to dr.-bro. goates (not sure which to use in this situation) and he was so good, highly recommended!!! caleb was nervous to begin with but came out overjoyed that it didn't hurt and that he "didn't even wiggle!" so then the race was on to get caleb to school. got that done and then i had a doctors' appointment that afternoon. i totally forgot that caleb has art classes on monday afternoons and brandon wasn't going to be home in time to take him. so, katie slater let caleb stay with her until time to go to art (meaningful service, thanks!!) troy went to my friends house (more service)! get to my appointment and wait and wait and wait. overshare coming up...it was "the" doctor that i had to go to and i heard one lady say "yeah we make you stay in there near naked so you won't get up and leave!" that made me laugh...so true! so i was on the 60 headed home when the thought came that i needed to slow down just a little....2 seconds later, the car to the left of me blew a tire. if i hadn't slowed down, i would have got the full blast of the debris and would have a shattered windshield. listen to the little promptings!!!

tuesday...troy had his 12 month check-up complete with 3 shots to his arms. we are sitting and waiting for the nurse to come in with the shots and brandon calls. "oh, i forgot to tell you this morning but one of the tires on the explorer is going flat. go find somewhere that has air and fill it before you head home." okay...so i forgot to mention that i woke up feeling sick...pukey and unsettled stomach...now i have to fix a flat tire. anyway, if you don't know albertson's on power and queen creek has free air...just don't forget to push the button like i did. so...the race is on to get caleb to school...done. pick him up and he has to go back to art class...to get his tie-dyed shirt he made...then on to baseball practice...done...go home finally. troy also started "offically" walking...he can stand up on his own, no pulling up.


wednesday....the usual...babysit jon...take caleb to school...got to caleb's baseball game and FREEZE b/c the wind was so cold (all you utah girls are laughing aren't you). we were on our way home and i remembered that volleyball was happening at 8:30....made it and had a blast...except for injuring my thumb that still hurts...

thursday...nothing but school and naps for me and troy.

today...HAPPY 50TH BIRTHDAY MOM! your the best!!!








p.s. troy learned something else this week....the "fish-out-of-water" style of throwing a fit...sweet baby (note sarcasm)

I love how Troy's toes are dug into the carpet to balance. I also like how he's got his toes pointed during his tantrum. Funny! Happy B-Day Kathy! You have always been soooo good to all of us. We love you!

Wow! That makes me tired just reading it! Sorry about your thumb. I saw your Barbie collection in the background. Every Christmas when I see the new one I always think of you. Love the birthday sign. All those years of making spirit signs sure paid off! LOL! ;o)

Whoa! Crazy buzy but would we want in anyother way? I'm glad you didn't get hurt on the 60, good job taking heed. Your boys are just cuties- lovely tantrum stages? We froze at the game too only, I wasn't smart enoough to grab our jackets. Thanks for the sweet compliment about my hubby. (I kinda like him too)

Maybe the blown out tire was a reminder to check yours. :) The fish tantrum is always a nice technique to get what you want.
