Teagan's poem to me

I was cleaning up some stuff and came upon Teagan's Christmas present to me. She did this all on her own, and on Christams day I actually had tears in my eyes...Here is her poem which says From: Teagan, Cade and Conley (This is actaully how Teagan wrote it okay..I really can spell)

I Love my mom

heart gets bigger.
______________________

Since its Christmas we will

flexible. I love my mom.

From: Teagan, Cade and Conly

We also had to go to a concert Saturday night in Ft. Collins. It was Reverend Horton Heat, and my dad seriously made us all go...But we did it because we loved him, and also had to have a sleepover at Melissa's house...Austin and I have A LOT of dirt on Dad and Melissa....If I ever want anything now I know how to get it...Here are some pictures from my dads actual birthday party at Old Chicago In Longmont on Feb 1st..

Me and the bird

This was our weekend...Friday January 30 we went snow shoeing up at the Rocky Mountain Nation Park in Estes Park. It was beautiful! We had to bring Cade with us and he was such a good boy, and loved to snow shoe. He was the smallest snow shoer we saw! Him and I made it about half a mile to a lake, where I got really close to getting a blue jay to eat granola out of my hand! It was so beautiful! From then on Cade and I went back so it was about 1 mile all together for him and I, while my dad, Conley, Steve and Lauren went the rest of the way. Cade and I made it back to the car, and listenend to the radio and ate some food. When everyone got back, and had taked off all there snow clothes, shoes we were all ready to go: EXCEPT I ran out the battery in the Denali!!! SO we had to have this 1990 purple mini-van jump us...Funny story huh...

Friday

I made it to the gym...I feel much better today but still tired, and I could tell I was slacking in my gym class. But now Teagan is sick! It started about 3am, when she was up with Cade. Cade is always up in the middle of the night, but Teagan kept complaining her stomach hurt. She must have caught the bug I had because she has been sick on the couch all day. So this has been my Friday so far..Mom I am going to puke, she lays down on the couch and pukes on me, then at Conleys office, she puked on the carpet, then after I came back to get her, she puked again! UGH...She said whats it feel like to be puked on mom? Kids....

Sick and annoyed

I NEVER get sick...But this last week has been really weird for me. It all started almost 2 weeks ago, when I had a fever, sore throat, and lost my voice. Then I felt better for my dad's birthday, but was still feeling lousy Friday, Sat. and Sunday. Well I thought I was almost done with this, until this early morning, when I woke up because Cade was crying. I had a really bad stomach ache. But thought it will go away. Well it didn't and all day I have been puking, amongst other things, and laying on the couch. All I did today was get up to pick Cade up from school, because Conley took him, I started the dishwasher, and folded 1 load of laundry. I am feeling better right now, but just ate some chicken noodle soup and I am starting to feel lousy again. I also have had 101 fever today. Conely just left to go to an appointment tonight, so I am stuck here, listening to Teagan play her really annoying recorder (Hot Cross Buns) and begging her to go take a shower. Plus today was the 3rd time I have missed the gym since Christmas, and the other 2 days I was snow shoeing, or running outside. I am pretty bummed about that, and I am sad for my gym Bunny who always has to hear me complain about being sick the last week...Sorry..Hopefully I will feel better by the morning because I am planning my 9:30 class, and will go puke or no puke...JK...Its just been a miserable day for me.

He does sleep, just not when I want him too!!

The little devil does sleep, just when its light out! Last night about 430am Conley heard a noise and thought I had turned the TV on in the bedroom, but it wasn't me. Cade woke up last night, got him self dressed, and came upstairs to play the computer all by 430AM!!!! And I had already been up with him at 11, 1 and 3....So Conley made him go back to bed, and I kinda remember Cade telling me he was dressed already, but who knows...

Animals

Cades Cat Ben10 and Jasmine, for some reason these two girls love each other...?

On my way to take Jasmine to be groomed Cade decited he wanted to be a dog also. On the way to school Cade kept taking Jasmine off her leash, and saying "Mom Jaz doesn't have her seatbelt on, so I am taking mine off" Well after he put her seatbelt(leash) back on he put his back on, and I sware he did this 5 times all the way to school. I must look like a crazy lady when I'm driving and always turning around to scream at my kid to put his damn seatbelt on! I am going to invent a kid-proof seatbelt...When we got to Cade's school and I got out of the car this is what he was doing.....
