Shang High

Joshua Alex Nathan and I just played this. Nathan was great. At first I thought he would have a hard time but opps I was wrong. Of Course Josh was spacey and bugged us all. So we ended up cheating most the game trading cards with each other just so he would have alot of points. Okay so it really was not fair but we had fun.

Alex's Birthday gift from me!

So I decided to make this this morning. I got to use my serger and my baby lock. Along with my rotary cutter and board. So it is a quilted pillow case with yes go figure a fish theme!! For dinner we had lime ginger Mahi Mahi with cilantro. Every one enjoyed it!!

Joshua Played his first full song on his bass. Printed and learned it in a hour. it is a little rough but I say he is great!!!

Nines

So Eve has taught me to play this and ever lovingly. Being the woman that she is. Gave us 3 decks of Rook cards. I have played 2 hands of nines with the kids Avery did great now we all love it.

Fun Fun Fun

Today I went to church with my mother in law. I had a good time. It really was not as bad as I thought it would be. I really do not like being around people I do not know and I always feel people are looking at me. This was not the way it was. I learned a few things and really had a good feeling after wards.

After Church we came back home and had lunch then got cooking. We made Salad, glorified rice, brownies and sweet potatos to take over to Eve's house. There we had a great time we did birthdays for Cindra, Jake Lexi and I. Maybe a few more but really no clue. I got to Hang out with Jake which was one of the things I really wanted to do this trip. I also learned to play nines and I hope I do not forget it all.

Right now Olivia and I are on our laptops and watching Letters to Juliet. Who needs sleep when your young!! Lots of snow outside right now. So not liking that at all.

Alison's wedding

Today is my Niece's wedding. I am so happy to be able to be here in Utah for this. Even more so after last night. Well Grandpa Stringham was showing me some pictures on his computer. There was a file for each of his children. He clicked on McKay's name and there was a folder with our wedding pictures. Mind you I have 1 picture from our wedding and there is nothing of all the people that came to our wedding. Last night I was sitting in my room looking at all the pictures. I asked him to copy them all to my flash drive. And there is Alison, She was there for the best day of my life and now I get to be there for hers. She is the first niece that I can say this about and in our family that is a big thing to me because there are so many nieces and nephews it was bound to happen.

Also in these pictures there are 2 pictures of my Grandfather Lenny. Whom I called Zada. Since my father (Donald) has been gone for many many years now and my Step Father (Michael) was not able to attend my wedding. It was a wonderful thing to have him there. Now I have pictures of him which makes me so very happy.
Once I get home I will be posting up the pictures here and on facebook. They will all be able to be found on my photobucket account as well.

Airport fun

Well it is 5 am. I am sitting here are the airport. Do you think it would kill them to turn the heater on?? Well I guess it would since I am chilly. Of course here I am complaining about the airport temperature when I am flying to Salt Lake City where the high is like 40ish with snow. I am going to freeze my rear off. But it is going to be worth it. I am happy to be able to see the family while I am there. It is going to be hard not having the kids or Mckay with me. The hardest part will be at night. But I guess I will deal.

If not one thing it is another

Last night they were painting the downstairs apt. the fumes were horrible and there were there until about 9pm. Called the office. Manager seemed upset they were working so late. they were suppose to stop at 5pm. It stank so bad.

Alex comes home with a hurt thumb. Joshua and his fight. Hope is sick now. I sent Alex and Josh to school all bandaged up. Talked to the school they wanted to know if we wanted to file a police report. Like what are we suppose to report. No clue who did it or why. The Dean has Josh going thru the pictures to try to identify who it may have been. But if I know Josh he will not point anyone out. He does not want anything else to happen.

So today Hope and I are laying in bed watching all the Barbie movies. Her fever is up too 102. I gave her meds and it all down and feeling better. I am hoping she take's a nap soon. When dad comes home he will not want to watch Barbie he can handle Tinker Bell though.

So beyond pissed off

So Joshua comes home looking like this after school today. Of course since he is in a late class by the time he got home the school was closed. He says all he knows was he got hit by something and fell. I am going to the school in the morning.

To make my life more fun

So i caught Avery's cold no big deal. This morning I wake up pounding head ache, right side of my face completely stopped up and my ear aching. So I take a bunch of stuff. I start to feel better but ear still bugging me. So this afternoon I just could not deal with it. I am rubbing it all the time. Then it hit me I have an ear infection. take my temp yup there is the fever. Of course I do not have insurance. So I can mom. NOw I am keeping a cotton ball soaked in olive oile in my ear and it is helping with the pain. That and the advil and decongestant I am feeling pretty good. But now I can not sleep.
As I type this McKay is asleep on the floor. Kids got him tucked in and I give up trying to get him in bed. He is going to hate it in the morning.

We had babies

Our Hamster had 3 babies last night I will try to get a picture when mom is away kids are excited

Nathan's Dr appt today

I started noticing a few weeks ago that Nathan walks more on the inside of his feet. We got him some better shoes to see if that helps. Well it really did not. So in we went. Dr. Perlow noticed it as well. At this time since Nathan is not having any pain and it is not affecting him playing running ect. We are to just watch him. If there starts any pain then to take him back in and go from there.

While there I got to talk to the doc about his height. Just turns out that he is just a very slow grower and thing can change by the time puberty kicks in.

After the appt we had some much needed time together. We played with cars and his Ben 10 toys. Then played video games together for a while. He is not really happy about me going to Utah. So I should him Skype and video calling and he thought that it was great that he can still see me. now when we are home he calls me from his room to video talk or just instant message.

Hating this weather

It is so cold here right now. I am so sick of it. I can not belive I am complaing about highs in the 40s when I have family in the teens if not lower. But I never liked the cold. I much rather prefer the warmer weather. Being in the APT makes it worse too. The kids do not want to play outside due to it is way to cold to do anything. I can not blame them at all. I do not want to go out.
Yesterday Alex helped me move up Joshua's new desk. Our hand were so cold after wards it was like burning frozen. I got use to the cold living in Utah. Being back in Vegas has thinned me out. I just want to go out play with my kids go hiking, watch McKay drive his r/c cars.
With it being really warm to freezing cold Avery and I are sick. OH JOY.
