week 8

Sick kid and husband has been the fun of this week. Gage has been sick ever since he got his shots and I'm pretty sure Scot picked up something from the office. So this week has been pretty uneventful.
I did take the kids out Thursday for a bit just to get out and we actually got to go for a walk on Wed, it was nice:) We walked down to the playground in our community cuz I was hoping it might be more clear but Denton couldn't even walk over to it because the snow was still too deep. haha Then we walked over to the chicken nugget house aka Wendy's and he had some lunch. Its nice to have things so accessible the grocery store is right there too.
I got a very nice surprise for Valentines day, Scot got me a gift certificate to the spa that is right by our house and I used it Sat for a Chakra Balancing Massage. Ahhh, it was great! I took Denton to tumbling by myself that day too because we didn't think the other parents would appreciate Scot and Gage coughing all over everything. They learned more tumbling moves and did more tricks on the beam and bar. It is so fun to go with him and I can't wait for my mom to be here and go with us. It's take a friend day Sat but he doesn't have anyone to take:(
We had a snow storm come through yesterday and I decided that I should probably stay home from work because where we live doesn't get plowed until it stops snowing and I was afraid I wouldn't make it back home. We got about a foot if not a little more. Scot went out every hour to keep our path from the garage to the drive somewhat clear so he'd be able to get out this morning but that didn't work, he's still here. We both had snow days! lol It was nice to have that time with the family yesterday, we stayed in our pajamas all day. I like my job but being able to have a whole day with my family is so nice:) I'll attempt to go in tonight, I think its pretty busy tonight. Denton is doing so great on going potty in the toilet, we took a picture the other day because he was so proud of going poop! It was funny:) Gage is everywhere and is trying to talk more and more. He can say ball, go go go and pup pup. Pup pup is his puppy's name. I've tried to post some more videos but they must be too big because they take forever to upload or it freezes up on me. 3 more weeks and we'll be back in Utah!!!!! I can't wait:)

#7

Let me see, what happened this week.
I work the weekends so when Sunday comes around I forget what we've done during the week. I took the boys out Tuesday for some shopping, lunch at the cheeseburger house aka McDonalds and playing at the mall. Denton met a cute little girl and they played for like an hour on the little soft toys there. We always have to stop at Karmelkorn and get brown popcorn before we leave too haha. I like the Burnsville Center, they still have the pet store with live animals and its not ginormous like Mall of America. It was so cold that day and I felt bad taking the kids out in it but they as well as myself go stir crazy sitting in the house all the time. I wish we had my car here sometimes. Gage had his 12 month Dr visit Thursday, Dr Wuu is nice:) He had to get 3 shots and he told us he could develop a rash all over his body plus fever really bad and to watch for seizures! What the crap!! I wouldn't even do the immunizations if they weren't required for school. We talked to mom, dad and the kids this week too and that is always fun. I miss the kids a lot, all of them. I've started the count down til we are back home, I hope it comes fast:)
I finally got my first paycheck Friday, that was nice!! We took Denton tumbling Sat morning then went mattress shopping after. I put a down payment on a posturepedic mattress and hope to god it helps my back and I can sleep better! Denton sure likes his tumbling class, he is getting really good at the beam and rings. I think he just likes to run around and play and nobody is telling him "don't do this or don't do that" They pretty much have free reign there. They do teach them how to listen and follow what they're taught. The teachers are all really patient and so good with the kids:)
Work has been really busy this weekend with Valentines Day and all. I like my job and the people I work with are really cool too. I'm still looking for a couple hang out friends with kids but no luck yet. Oh well.
Not much has changed with Scots job, he just does what he's asked and is good at it. He did get his cubicle up here in Lakeville so he can start working from there a couple days a week now.
I guess that's it for this week.

week 6

AH, I was too tired to do this last night due to the many massages I did over the weekend. I can honestly say that I don't think I've done this many massages the whole time I've been out of school. DANG!! I'm pretty stoked to get my check though I'm buying us a new mattress, we need it I'm tired of rolling into Scot every night:) haha.
Well we had a fun week, Pace was here again and came over a couple days and hung out with us. He brought Chad, another MOM guy and I made us all dinner 2 of the nights. I learned how to do a deep muscle massage so I practiced it on Scot, Pace and Chad (not at the same time or anything) lol!! Denton and Gage sure like having Pace here, Denton had a pretty good freak out when I took Pace up for his massage cuz he just wanted to be with him. It was kind of sad.
Denton started a tumbling class on Sat and he just loved it! It's a parent child class so Scot went in with him and ran around and did stuff with him. I think after a few weeks of that we might move him into the child only class. He did great listening to the teacher and doing the little exercises he had them do and wasn't all that shy. He was a little hesitant of the balance beam but Scot walked across with him a few times then he was good. After tumbling we met Pace at Perkins and had lunch then went to the bowling alley to play games. Sunday I had to work but Pace and Jon (another MOM guy) came over to watch the Super Bowl with Scot and the boys. I'm kind of glad I had to work, I hear it wasn't all that great of a game and the commercials weren't all the funny either. And GB won, that sucks too! I'm pretty sure that last week was by far the fastest week we've had here, it flew by!
I guess that's all i have this week. My brain is telling me its time for bed.
