Here Goes-Caution Long Post

I know I know it has been quite a long time since I posted, the main reason is that I have been spending nearly every day in town ( all day long) so there has been little time for blogging while I am home. I even have about 3 days of DVR shows still sitting there unwatched ( that is unheard of for me) But I thought that journaling is more important so I am going to try and catch up before I forget stuff. Here is a Recap of the last week.

On Thursday my mom came over to finish our yard. She had told Stephen for his B-day she was going to put in our winter grass in the front yard. The first time she came over she couldn't get through the mowing. So Stephen finished mowing the yard down to the ground. She came over and spread the seed and manure. While we all just sat around and watched.

A cute picture I took of Jackson while he was climbing on my car. He actually turns into quite a poser when I get the camera out.

Hudson started standing up by himself and staying up on Thursday. Isn't he so cute

On Friday I met some friends from my ward at the New Mall to play in the play area, Angie also joined us. This was my first time and I loved it, the mall is so great most importantly the Forever 21 is GINORMOUS ( I love that store) the only thing missing is a GAP. Jackson made a new BFF while we were there a boy from our ward. They were having the best time, when we saw them again in the food court for lunch they had to eat together. Next off to Costco to eat some free food and get a few things with Ang. That night was my brothers first and last playoff game, it was so sad. I also found out that my HUSBAND has been Mr. Iresponsible. A while back he got pulled over for his brake lights and didn't have his insurance card in the car ( he is not very responsible) so he got a ticket which he didn't pay and didn't report on his court date, so they automatically suspended his liscense which he still drove on and then got pulled over again this time the cops handcuffed him read him his rights and threw him in the back of the cop car. For some crazy reason they didn't take him to jail. The whole time he is trying not to laugh but does have a big ole grin on his face. ( crazy I know) So he can't drive, he saw the judge and he told him he was late for his date so he has to pay the $ 1100 dolllars!!!!! which is ridiculous since he actually does have insurance, the court told him he could try another judge which he did after I had to drive him around for 3 days miss UPS in the mornings and spend the night a couple times at his moms. Luckily the new judge dissmissed the charges.

Friday night Ellie spent the night, they had so much fun sleeping on the floor in the family room, the woke in great moods. It was a little weird having to get a girl ready, I am so used to boys. It was so much fun, getting her cute little outfit on complete with matching bracelet and necklace, and then getting to do her hair. Which unfortantely didn't last very long. ( Suzie must do it like a million times a day to keep it looking so nice all the time) We went to Jackson's game, then off to play with all the cousins at Grandma Cheryl's.

Monday I took Stephen to court, and after we went to Cracker's ( I thought I deserved a little treat for waking up so dang early and shuttling Stephen around) plus we had money there. It was soooo sooo good, I had the Cheese Blintzes, if you have never had these please try them. During our wonderful breakfast Hudson had the biggest blowout of all time right in the restaurant. All up his back down his pants and a nice puddle on the high chair, I felt so sorry for all the people around us. I spent the next ten minutes in the bathroom giving him a sink bath. Yes I went back and finished my delicious meal. Stephen still couldn't get his license back since the DMV was closed so I shuttled him around a bit more. That night Jackson went to Brody's birthday party at the bowling alley, while we attended Heritage night at the Cummards. The food was once again fantastic and I ate way too much. Luckily Jackson missed the Candy Bar game ( 3 of the boys kept trying so hard to get this one big hershey's bar which ended up in disaster while Molly and Consy made out with 4 candy bars each.)

Today I took the kids for a well check, it couldn't have come at a better time. Hudson has been sick since thursday. At least once a day he projectile throws up his bottle, he hasn't been eating very much and has had diharea. The doc said it is probably just a stomach bug that may last another week( goody). The office was a bit of a nightmare since I was waiting over and hour and didn't get out of there until 2 hours after I got there. Plus both of the boys got Flu shots. That was fun. Everything else is looking great.

Sorry for the abnormally long post but I am sure you are just skimming over it anyway.
