"Life is not measured by the number of breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath away."
So it seems to me anymore I never have enough time to post stuff.. I'm always working, filling orders, doing stuff with the kids, house stuff, been going to the gym with one of my girl friends and the list goes on and on! So I decided that I better just sit down and get a move on it before I get to far behind on my posts. Better late then never don't you think. Life has been crazy lately but who's life isn't?
Yesterday I went and waited in line to get the kids their H1N1 vaccination. It was not all that bad it could have been a whole lot worse. They handed out tickets and you did not have to stand in line the whole time you just had to be there when your number was called. I was there about a total of 2-2 1/2 hours we were number 117, 118, 119. Glad I went in early they did about 1600 vaccinations yesterday. Got them all taken care of and then took them to lunch and back to school.
We are finally taking a vacation! Yes I'm so excited we will be gone all next week it is a much needed vacation. So no posts from us for a week or so but even if I was home I don't think I would have time to post I really need to get better at this and post at least once a week I will just have to keep trying practice make perfect :-) Once we get back I will try and make time to post all our vacation pictures. Well until then see ya..............
Here are a few pictures of the kids from Halloween. Makayla was a cute little lady bug and the boys were good old cowboys. Their cousin Jake was Elmo. They had a great time on Halloween well except for Clayton's trip to the Dr (read the post below). They got tons of candy and will be on a sugar high for weeks!
They are all such good buddies!

It's that time of year again the boys are back in wrestling and are loving it. They are doing so well. They had a tournament on Saturday the 31st in Shelley. They were both able to wrestle 3 times that day Clayton took 2nd and Carson took 3rd.

They also had another tournament last night in Idaho Falls. They did so well Clayton took 3rd and Carson took 2nd. Carson had to wrestle a kids for our team that has been wrestling for a few years now and is really good. Last year when the boys had to wrestle him they got pinned really fast. But last night Carson went all three round and was not pinned he did so well he lost the match in points but he held his own and has improved so much this season from last season.
Well 4 weeks ago we added a new addition to the family. We got a new puppy(well tyson got a new puppy) his name is Bo he is Olde English Bulldog. He is so fun and has a great personality. The kids love him and Bubba Makayla's dog loves to play with him as well.

A trip to the Doctors office to be glued back together. We were getting ready to walk out the door to go trunk or treating when Clayton picked up the puppy when doing this he hurt the puppy and he turned around and nipped Clayton on the lip. So we had to make a mad dash to the clinic to get him glued back together. All is well now and everyone survived.
Well first thing today we had some really good comments from the boys.
First Clayton walked outside and yelled to me "MOM! The sky has fallen." It was foggy when we woke up.
Second comment of the day we were getting ready to walk out the door and Carson could not get his shoes tied so I told him to get into the truck and have his sister help him he replies. "I don't want her to help me she is
annoying me."
To funny I just love these kids and the things that they say!
Well two Wednesdays ago we took the kids in for their flu shots. My mom picked them up from school and broke the news to them that they were going to go get flu shots. MaKayla was upset and started crying the boys were fighting over who got to go first they both wanted to go first. So by the time they arrived at the clinic MaKayla was all red eyed from crying and the boys still did not decide who got to go first. So we all go into the shot room Carson climbs up on the table and gets his shot he did so well he just whimpered a little bit while he was getting his shot MaKayla had backed up into the corner and started to cry. So we decided she should go next and just get it over with. My mom and I had to drag her to the table and put her on it at this point she is screaming bloody murder. We hold her down the nurse pokes her with the needle and Makayla pulls away. So she pokes her again half way through giving her the shot she suddenly stops screaming and says "oh it does not hurt that bad". Well what do you think we have been trying to tell her this whole time. After the whole ordeal. It was Clayton's turn he jumps up on the table pulls his sleeve up on his shirt and took it like a big bog no whining or anything!
Shots they don't hurt that bad but kids seem to just get all worked up about them. It just make me laugh so hard that half way through MaKayla's shot she stops screaming because she realizes it's not that bad.
