March 21 - March 27

Yep this was SPRING BREAK! And all I have to say is that it sure wasn't much of a spring or a break this week.

Monday the 21st- We headed to Boise so that Matthew could take his Microbiology test. He was pretty nervous because this course had 41 chapters and a lot of information to learn, understand and memorize. The test was 150 questions and its always hard to know exactly what material they are going to ask you, because it is only about 3questions per chapter. But all nerves aside he PASSED. Yep that means one more test down and one step closer to him getting his RN. (Not sure if I posted this, but he has been offered and asked to be the RN over all the schools in Twin this next school semester, we don't know all the details or if he will be completely done with his schooling by then. He is really pushing now and hopes to be done by then. So we will see what this year brings :)!

Tuesday the 22nd- This week was also Brandon's spring break and so he wanted to get some hours of work in at the dairy so I watched Hailey for them, so that he could work. So I had three kiddos this week. It was a trying day I think. Logan and Hailey play somewhat well together, I think that they cause a lot of trouble when they get together. It was fun to have her here all week, because Logan has such a good time with her here. They played, destroyed my house daily, they fought, they cried, they laughed and definitely had fun together. Then that night Laura and Zac invited us out for games and dinner. Laura made yummy taco salad and we played Monopoly Deal. We stayed up late playing and had a great time. Thanks Laura and Zac. And Thanks Carson for entertaining Logan :)!



We got to play with cute little Hailey all week!





I had fun getting to do Hailey hair and now I cant wait for Ashlees to get longer so that I can try to do cute hair-do's!

Hailey!

Wednesday the 23rd- Yep this was the day 17 years ago that Dylan was born. So Happy Birthday "D"! So after a day of taking care of three kids and Matthew working, we got to head to Filer to go bowling with the all the Jacobson's! It was fun! Then we went back and had cake and ice cream at Flint and Lisa's and got caught up on Survivor and American Idol. Which made it our third late night in a row.

 

He was so excited to go bowling!



Wow Mr. Independent, he wanted to do everything by himself.



Tianna would bowl and he would say "GO NANA" and then when she knocked down pins he said "YAY NANA!" It was pretty cute.



 

He got to where he could bowl by himself regardless of where the ball went, he didnt want any help.





This is me taking a picture of Lisa taking a picture. I guess we thought of taking a group picture at the same time :)! And just because we give each other a hard time. Do you see Mr Ethusiastic in the plaid shirt? I sure wish he would smile more :)!



Thursday the 24th- So all the late nights caught up to me this day and I was a little sluggish, which drives me crazy when I don't have much energy. So I didn't do much really today, besides play with the kids and try to clean a few things here and there. Then we took it easy that evening and went to bed pretty early :)! SLEEP I LOVE YOU!!!

Friday the 25th- I did tons of cleaning and laundry today. I needed to catch up from the long week of being gone and all the other fun stuff that we did. Tianna came and brought some boxes to store in our basement and then we sat and talked for a while. Logan got to play with his puppy today even though the weather was pretty cold and windy. He just doesn't care what the weather is as long as he gets to play OUTSIDE! We took it easy again that evening. Which was nice to have a low key evening again :)!

Saturday the 26th- Yesterday was a fun yet exhausting day. I have to say that I just love to help other people around there houses, and I guess that I love to do stuff around my own, but its just not as fun as other peoples because I have to deal with my stuff on a daily basis. So Tianna and I got to switch around the rooms at Flint and Lisa's. We moved Dylan to another room, we turned Dylan's room into a play/movie room for the Grandkids and then we are going to turn Tianna's room into a scrapbooking/craft room. We got part way done but the rest will have to wait until Monday :)! I am excited because I love to help do stuff like this. Then that night Matthew and I got to leave our kiddos with Lisa (THANK YOU SO MUCH LISA!) so we could go out to eat and go help clean the Temple. It was a fun evening. We went and ate at a place called TSE, which is a Chinese food place here in Twin Falls. I love there honey chicken and Matthew just loves all Chinese food so we had a great dinner and the company wasn't bad either. We enjoyed talking about random stuff and just enjoyed out time out. Then we got to clean the Temple, which I always find to be fun. Its just such an amazing thing to get to experience, the feeling of being in the Temple for whatever reason is just awesome :)! So we got home from doing that about 11:15 or so. Yep another long day, but what a great day it was.

Sunday the 27th- Not sure what today has in store. Except that we had a great day at church teaching our classes. We got home ate a light lunch, everyone is napping while I catch up on my blog. Then who knows what we are going to do tonight. All I know is that it is great to have a day to just kick back and relax and prepare once again for another fun but busy week ahead.

Yep life is great when you have a great family and people to make it so :)!
