Whoa. I haven't posted since February? How did this happen? I can't believe it. Oh well. Sooo.... well, school is out. I guess that's alright. I can send Aubrey chasing after the boys every time they take off. So that's a positive. Ask me again in a month.

But hey! Here are some Easter pics! Yea! procrastination! Carter found the golden egg (five bucks!) Doesn't he look thrilled? Aaww. Jason (my 4th child, got to get a picture of each of the kids on Easter)

Aubrey at Grandma and Grandpa's after the Easter egg hunt.


This wasn't on Easter but I thought it was cute. Hugging his little teddy bear.

Blake's last cardiology check-up was in May. We had to high tail it to Salt Lake at 7:00 in the morning for his echocardiogram which he had to be sedated for. That means no food or water for several hours--JOY! We get there and I mention he has a little cough--well that means no sedation and no echo. Just an EKG and a check-up from the cardiologist. oh and a holter monitor he has to wear for 24 hours, let me tell you how much 2-year-olds love those! But the dr. called us a few weeks ago and said every thing looks good which is amazing. Let me give you a little background, in case you don't know what a holter monitor is. It's like an EKG with all the leads on your chest only it records everything your heart does for 24 hours. It's amazing that everything looks good because I had to re-stick those little leads a few times. I thought for sure we were going to get a phone call about some crazy rhythms or something. So we're done at the hospital, and we decide to go on over to IKEA. Half of our time spent there was us just trying to leave but we kept stopping to look at stuff. The kids were driving us crazy and I kept thinking we should take them to the child care area. But then we would say "no, we're leaving. Let's just go" The place is diabolical , I tell you. I think we've all been there. So we finally make it out of the labyrinth that is IKEA. and head for home. Then there was the wedding reception in Weston. Pheww! I'm tired just thinking about it. Anyways, that was a few weeks ago. Kinda glad that day is over.

Blake always has to have a truck with him on his high chair tray.

Let's see,there was Blakey's birthday and Aubrey's soccer and Carter's surliness. Jason has got himself a new hobby (when he gets the time). he built a bbq smoker with a guy he works with and we have been having some sort of smoked meat at least twice a week. At least! Ribs, chicken, pulled pork. He's been going crazy. Anywho, he is competing this Saturday at Cabela's so we'll see how it goes. He enjoys it so I guess that's all that matters.

Oh hey, we got a dog. She's a Jack Russell Terrier. Her owner died so we took her in. She's really well behaved and well trained. Only problem is she is 10 years old and wasn't around kids much before. Between my own kids and my nieces and nephews there are a lot of kids around here. She gives Blake the most grief and I think that is because he's small and she thinks he's competition. I'll take a picture of her when my memory card is in my camera and I don't have to go upstairs. The short of it is...I'm just too lazy right now.
