I'm spoiled! (My "brag" moment)

About 4 days ago, Owen finished my hall tree. He designed it, made it and then brought it home to me. I absolutely LOVE it! BO helped him paint it and loved telling me all about what he did!

(isn't it beautiful?!?)

So yesterday Owen also surprised me with 12 pink long stemmed roses and some yummy cinnamon gummy bears for no reason! I love you honey, Thanks!

Then we are getting ready for our fun filled vacation to Hawaii without kids! (Note: countdown started)

I can honestly say I am one lucky, spoiled mom and wife! (;

oh man.. poor kid!

BO isn't really catching any breaks here, REALLY! Yesterday, Owen and I surprised the kids and took them to the Burger King here so they could play at the play yard. We make the kids keep their socks on and as long as they finish their lunch, they are allowed to keep playing. BO was on his way over to the table when he slid and landed head first on the bench seat. I know it's mean, but Owen and I really couldn't help but laugh at him (silently). He is ALWAYS getting hurt. I don't know what we are going to do with this kid, maybe wrap him in bubble wrap!?! lol Poor kid! He still finished playing and then later went to work with Owen. He continued the rest of the day without any other incidences, thank goodness!

Ouch and Rylee's NOT helping!

So BO, being the creative boy that he is, decided that the slopped part of the bathtub is a slip and slide. He and Rylee both love to do the slide thing in the master bath cause it's HUGE and a good slope (I don't allow it, but when I'm not looking, they do it anyway-of course). Well the guest bathroom that he was in at the time, does NOT have a very good slope. He set himself up and slid/fell down the slope and into the faucet. Nice, right?!? The impressive part was that he didn't cry until he saw the blood pouring down his chest. Poor thing! Anyway, I comforted him and told him it wasn't bad at all, at which point Rylee Chimed in and said, "MOM, that is to really bad... BO, your neck is going to fall off!" Nice to have a kids that exaggerates worse than me! I laid BO down and start cleaning it up and prepping it for a butterfly bandage and Rylee is leaning over my shoulder and saying, "wow, steady mom... WOW... CAREFUL... Watch it..." She just kept on going! Well, It bandaged up nicely and BO is proud of the damage made. (;

(The picture really doesn't do it justice... It looked worse in person I guess!)

New Years 2010!

For New Years Eve, our friends Pete and Keri came into town for the night. We had such a wonderful time with them. We went out to eat at the really yummy Mexican restaurant here and than we all headed back to the house and watched "Tinkerbell". Pete fell asleep watching the movie with the kids on the floor. Needless to say, none of us stayed awake long enough to bring in the new year at 12am. (:

Thanks for making the stop to see us Pete and Keri, we love you guys!
