mmm pizza

Michael, Kailye and I tried a new pizza place in Orem last night. It is fresh pizza, hand thrown and cooked in an actual brick oven. It was so yummy. I am a big fan. We will definitely go there again. We also decided to tackle our bedroom last night. Yeah right...we now have 5 baskets full of clothes in our front room that still need to be folded. But I can see my floor in my room, and it feels much bigger with out all the stuff in it. I'm betting since Michael has rugby tonight and won't be home until 10:30...if he even gets through the storm to come home tonight...I will be doing most of the work for that. At least I can make a dent.

We have lived at our house for 4 1/2 months and things are still not put away. Not just the garage but the stuff that is actually in our house. We did get the girls room rearranged, and our family room looks great but the rest of the house still need LOTS of help. I'm just glad that lately I'm feeling well enough to actually work on it. Well back to work. Bye.

Weekend

We really did not do much this weekend. On Friday we went up to mom & dad's to pick up Michael's new ski pants (thanks mom, and Art for that discount) that he got for his bday. He was pretty excited. While we were there I decided I wanted to go to a movie, so I got Steph and took her with Kk and I to see 27 Dresses. It was cute. Michael would have been pretty bored if he would have gone. After the movie I took Steph back up to the house and we started talking...we tend to do that a lot...well a while later Bobbie stepped outside and said Michael had just called the house. I looked at the clock on the dash board and we had been sitting outside talking for nearly 3 hours...yeah it was 3:30 AM. Oops...needless to say our husbands were a bit nervous as to where we were. My phone automatically shuts off at 1AM so I never heard them call and Steph had left her phone at home. Next time maybe we need to set a timer?!

Saturday Michael and I slept in a bit since we had been up so late. We spent the day being pretty lazy. We did get the girl's room rearranged and some curtains up in that room and the front room. It looks so nice. That night we both started feeling a bit sick so the rest of the weekend was pretty lazy. We stayed home from work on Monday too and got some much needed sleep.

Today hasn't started out so great either...look here. But I'm hoping the rest of the day will go better.

Blog template

I'm so freezing today, I really had to warm things up. I want it to be summer sooooo bad. I'm tired of being freezing. So I figured it could be summer on my blog. What do you think? Kailye is also VERY ready for warm weather. It doesn't help that I keep letting her get summer clothes here and there.

Last night Kailye and I went up to Salt lake with mom to get Michael his birthday present from mom and dad...but what he wanted looked really cheap and not cute, so Mom and I vetoed that idea. We did however get mom a few shirts than kk got a few things and I grabbed a few long sleeve shirts to fit over my belly. We also found her a cute new suit. It is reversible. We had fun.

On the way home we stopped at a little girl's store that just opened in American Fork, Justice, OH MY...I could go broke there. Kailye loved pretty much everything she saw. Mom and I found her outfits and she would go in and try them on. She was so funny. There were clothes all over the floor. She did say that the blue leggings mom picked out were "Freaking her out!" We laughed pretty hard at that one. She did get a few summer dresses though and a cute new shirt...oh and of course new sunglasses. When we were ready to go we told Kailye to put her clothes back on and she was taking a very long time. I opened the curtain to the dressing room and she was posing in front of the mirror with her new glasses and her own clothes on. She's such a girly girl when it comes to clothes.

Snow fun.

Yesterday was a kind of lazy day. I went to work in the morning and then had to run by the doctor. Michael and I then went over and saw JD...he's so cute. After that we went to Cafe Rio then back to work. I didn't stay long though. I went home and it had snowed another 4 inches from when Michael had shoveled that morning. So being ambitious I figured I'd give it a try...I have never shoveled before in my life...I did pretty well I must say. And I'm so sore today. I might need to do that more often.

I was still waiting for Kailye and Michael to get home so I let Marley out into the front yard to play for a while. She had so much fun. She was playing with her tennis ball in the snow. She would find it and pick it up and then throw it on accident because it was so could. I have pictures but I'm at work so I'll have to post them later.

Katy and Chad came by yesterday for a few minutes with baby Michael. That kid is so big. He is the size of Jayci, Kari and Adam's 3 month old, but he's 3 weeks old. Michael loves that he's so big. I have cute pictures of my Michael holding baby Michael...also have to post later.

Well back to work...I'm getting worse and worse at this working thing. Oh well:)

Weekend

Friday we went over to mom and dad's and had pizza for Michael's birthday. Poor Michael, as soon as dinner was done mom pulled Steph and I in to help with Bobbie's room. And all the boys were playing Rockband...not really Michael's thing. he was pretty excited to see our new nephew Michael. That kid is huge. And sooo cute.

Saturday was Bobbie's shower so Michael went skiing. Bobbie got to the house just before the shower. It was nice. There were lots of babies there. And Bobbie did very well. She of course headed straight over to the hospital as soon as she could but she got lots of great stuff. JD is still a sicko but he's doing pretty well. That night we headed up to Salt Lake for dinner with Michael's family. We went to Red Lobster, Michael's favorite, and it was so good. I haven't been there for quite a while. After dinner we headed over to Kari and Adam's for cake, for Michael's birthday. And he got to open his Birthday presents. This is the first year ever I have actually surprised Michael. I am usually either too excited about what I got him to wait until his birthday or I just take him to go get it. But this year with lots of help from his brother I pulled it off. He got a gun safe from his family and a 45 handgun from me. He was so excited. I already told him he could have it but he wasn't expecting it for a while. He played with it all day yesterday, his actually birthday, and is so excited to go to the shooting range and use it. Adam got one for Christmas so he has someone to play with now.

Yesterday was Michael's actual birthday. We did absolutely nothing. I woke up with a head ache...like most mornings...and I really felt awful so I slept most of the day. KK also slept half the afternoon with me. Today is a little better, just have to make a quick trip to the doctors. Better get going. Bye.

Coats?...

Kailye and I went yesterday to find her a snow coat. She's outgrown hers now and it won't work to play in the snow in anymore. So we went to the following stores: Walmart, Target, Shopko, Sears, Old navy, Ross, and EVERY store in the mall. NO ONE has coats anymore. HELLO?!?!? It's the middle of January! We still have 2 1/2 months of Winter left here. It's just started to get really cold. You've got to be kidding me. Every where I went had plenty of swim suits and shorts and tank tops...but not a single coat. Seriously, what are people thinking. So after a long day of looking EVERYWHERE we finally stopped by Parks Sportsman. Thankfully they had a few kids coats that weren't ridiculous looking. Kailye picked out a Spyder coat that is bright red. It looks just like this but red. She looks adorable in it. She wore it all over last night. I'm also glad it is red because now we won't have to put her in red for the football games next year. She is also very excited that she can go skiing with her dad with her new coat. We'll see how that goes :)

Cold!

Last night we got home to find that all the power was off with in 10 blocks of our house. It was strange how dark it was. I called the power company and the recording said they didn't know what caused the outage but it would not be back on until 6 am and 9000 customers were with out power. Fun eh? Well we grabbed some flash lights and went to bed. Now our house is old, and doesn't hold heat so wonderfully. We do have an over sized heater that heats the whole house in two minutes but with the power out it was useless. Well we looked at the thermometer on the front of the house and it said 13 degrees. Um hello cold! At 2 am I went to look at our battery powered temp gage and it said our house was 52 degrees...it was awful. SOooo cold. It felt like we were camping, outside, in November. Well at 3 the power flipped on. Thank goodness, I don't think I could have slept if it got any colder. Our house temp. dropped 20 degrees in just 2 hours, could you imagine another 2. I would have been sleeping in the car...It was much warmer.




Kailye has been really cold lately with anything so she slept with 8 blankets. I'm glad I had so many blankets. She'd under there somewhere.
