new happenings...

last week my mom came over to our apartment to hang out with us for a little bit. while she was here she helped me make the bed, along with boe! he is SUCH a big helper....just take a look below!

that kid cracks me up all the time! i ♥ his sense of humor! today we celebrated his 1st ever fieldtrip to coldstone creamery! it was fun, the kids got a tour of the place, and then got to make their own creations! YUMMY! boe picked strawberry ice cream with graham crackers, sprinkles and of course gummy bears! while he was sitting with his friends eating i heard him say this ↓.....what a crack up!

my big boy keeps getting bigger!

okay so i know i haven't post in FOREVER but here is a picture of boe on his first day of PRESCHOOL! he ♥'s school and is doing very well at recognizing letters, especially the one's in his name! (THANKS grandma goose) within 2 weeks he had the pledge of alligence memorized, could i BE prouder?!?! i didn't think that i would get sad for him to start since he was so excited but since i was at work that first day, my mom took him and i did get a little teary eyed when i looked at the clock at work and realized he was getting ready to go! he makes my heart melt and i could not be prouder of this little guy!

like sands through the hourglass...

of ALL the dang time not to know where the cord to your camera is....

i have been sitting here on the computer for about an hour and a half tonight catching up on everyone's blogs...it is a rare occurance these days. boe comes walking up to me, hands on hips with a seriously serious face and says, "don't drink the rest of my lemonade or DIE! Pick one!" OH MY GOSH THIS KID!!! where does he hear this stuff?!?!?!!! of course i start laughing and want to hurry and have him say it again so i can tape it, and the dang cord is missing! let me just say, boe has gotten a little to big for his britches lately! especially this morning while i was getting ready for work- he is sitting on the bed watching cartoonies- and he looks at me and says "you suck". um, HELLO!!! do you know what happens to little almost 4 year olds that say that??? yah, i am trying hard HARD to be patient and not freak out, then he just wants to say it more. so i asked him where he heard it and he told me his daddy and grandma said it to him on the golf cart! thanks jason and barbara! LOL i know it wasn't them, but who... or better yet what? so cartoon network is OUT and he is allowed noogin if he is allowed at all. i can't handle that stuff nonsense!

okay for the needed update. to answer some of the questions that i am getting, i will answer some of them now. yes- jason and i have seperated. some of you know, some do not but i have gotten alot of emails. this was/is much needed for us and we haven't made any decisions past today. i still love him alot and we are still talking, we just got to a point in our relationship that we didn't want to be at and need to be apart to try to start our friendship over. i am grateful for everyone's concerns and prayers and for checking in on me. i would say that i still have a great relationship with him and his family...boe still gets to spend lots of time with them. boe has actually been WONDERFUL during this, he just knows sometimes he lives with me and sometimes he lives with his dad. jason and i live very close to each other so it helps a ton!!! i am happy, healthy and looking forward to what the future holds! i am having a hard time working on the "being patient" but i know that i have handed things over to a higher power and now i just do what i am supposed to do and wait....wait....wait....

other then these little mountains of change going on in my life, i work alot, and i am SO thankful to have a great job and am able to work with great people! i have AWESOME family and SUPER friends!!! i am truly blessed!

update!!! okay i won't say that i am "settled" in our new place but we are definately moved in! as soon as we got everything here, i got sick and was out for about 2 fulls weeks with what can only be described as the WORST i can remember feeling in a LONG time! i wouldn't have wished being that sick on my worst enemies! after 2 trips to urgent cares, one to joels, and ALOT of flu/cold medicine and TONS of sleep, i was back to work and back to being a mom! poor boe- there were a few days solid i didn't see him... jason and boe bought me a balloon and gerber daisy flowers for mothers day. they basically dropped them off and took off as not to get any germs! on mother's day i drove over to my parents house and layed on the couch and cried and whined! why is it that no matter how old you get... that you still need your mom??? so since i started feeling better i got to make up my birthday! (okay, as i was reminded i forgot to add the birthday dinner with my family) the first birthday dinner after i was feeling better was spent at the wonderful cafe rio!!! man i love that place!!! the friday before was the first day i think in about a week that i thought that i could actually eat and keep it down, so when we planned to go to cafe rio the next night i didn't eat anything all day so i could eat one of their salads! it was SO worth every bite! my mom, and sisters and i (less lisa, since we did plan it very last minute and she already had plans...i know whats up with that? lol) got their right before the dinner rush and of course over the course of the night our conversations go to whatever should NOT be talked about in public but hey! that's who we are! we had to kind of keep ourselves in check considering there were families in there too! it was a great night followed by a run to target! jason's mom and sisters and i got to meet up at pei wei for my birthday lunch! YUM!!! their mongolian beef is SO good!!! unfortunately i didn't have my camera and jenn and jamie were missing! jamie was packing to move and kevin was in town and jenn was spending some qt with him. the next night i got to meet nikki and mandi for my birthday dinner! we went to rigitoni's in chandler for some AMAZING italian food! it was SO good and the company is always great! after we went to my office so they could get the grand tour and then we stood outside and talked for about an hour! i love our birthday dinners together! it isn't the same without cedar though!!! (hint hint cedar!) my grandma and my uncle also came to town, pictures to come soon! it was such a GREAT visit! i think it has been about 2 years since my grandma was here and i can't even tell you when the last time i got to see my uncle was! boe had never met him and he had a great time with him!!!! i have been really blessed with family and friends that surround me and with everything that is going on i can honestly say i am happy and doing good! as soon as i can get everything put away and in it's place and hung up on the walls, our new place will feel like home!

my life tivo-ed style...

okay so i know that i haven't posted in FOREVER! my life has sort of been a "pull the rug out from underneath you" sort of whirlwind as of late...... so here are a few updates:

i made these adorable spring sugar cookies....they are so cute and were fun to make! i am so crafty...lol...yes thats a joke

boe has found a new favorite spot to watch tv. i find him laying in this basket full of winter clothes all the time, and if he doesn't care, neither do i.

the weather here has already changed and it is HOT! boe and i already went swimming, boe got tan lines around his arm floaties and i got my first sunburn of 2009!

i work alot! i want to sleep the rest of the time i am not working, my mind is slipping. my body is worn out....i have to get boe into a pre-school. my house is never clean. did i mention i am tired? well it seems like my days are filled 28 hours a day, and here i am stumped as to what to update. anyhow enjoy for now! who knows when the next update and pictures will be? i have great friends, i ♥ you guys!

boe is just getting over having a nasty cough, and ear infection...guess what happened tonight???
