Apple is the best

On Sunday I get a text message from my husband telling me his computer caught fire.

What!!

I have heard computers catching on fire but not from anyone I know. How does that happen? I always thought it happened if your computer got over heated. Who know...

I asked him how it happened since he had just gotten to work. He said he turned it on and was trying to get out credit reports and all of a sudden he smells smoke and then a whole bunch of sparks.

Let me just tell you that this computer is not even 4 months old. Really? I was hoping this computer would last us a few years. I guess that's what we get for not getting an Apple.

We have been joking around all day that his and my credit were so bad that it burned the computer up immediately.

Now he has no computer for the next 2-5 weeks and he started school on Monday.

The kind of friends worth keeping

Are true friends. I just read this on a friends status and I want to remember it so I might as well share it.

"A true friend doesn't care when you are broke, being mean, what you weigh, if your house isa mess, what you drive, about your past, or if your family is filled with crazy people. Your conversations pick up where they left off, even if it has been months or even years apart. They love you...for who you are."

I love this and it is so true.

The kind of mom I wanna be

I read on someones blog about the kind of mom that they have decided to be and it just hit me that that is exactly how I want to be but for me it will take some time. This year I will make a bigger effort to do this.

What she said was that she heard someone say once that when children grow up they are not going to remember if the cupboards were cleaned or if you spend an hour on dinner or if the house was vacuumed or not. What they WILL remember is if you took time out of your daily life to get on the ground with them and play.

On a daily basis I worry so much more about whether my house is cleaned and about having a good dinner than playing with my son who is growing up way too fast. I am going to try so hard this year to do this and not worry about what others think of my house. People I have a child living here!

I might actually make a sign saying that.

My model baby

Just had to share this picture cause he is just so darn cute.

The rest from Christmas

I thought I had more pictures from Christmas without Baby in them but I didn't so here are the ones that I can put up.

We really did have a great time in California as always.

I don't think I have ever said anything about this on here so here it goes....

My husband is an amazing guitar player and an even better singer. He says he isn't but I don't believe that he thinks that he is just trying to be polite but he truly has a God given talent. This year for his family Christmas show he sang "I wanna be a billionaire" by Bruno Mars. Everyone there was amazed at how good he is. I think he shocked even his own family. I know we have a video of him on youtube from a few years ago of him singing, I'll ask him to find it and I'll put the link up on here.

Las Vegas

On our way back home from California Christmas vacation we decided to stop in Vegas for the night. We called around and found the cheapest hotel room which was at the Luxor but then we asked what their next room was and it was a suite with a jacuzzi and all. So we booked it and I was shocked when we got there we have actually paid twice as much for a crappier room. Baby loved it too. We had so much fun walking around the hotel and spending time in the jacuzzi and just being all together. The only part that sucked was how much we had to spend to get dinner. It is out of control. Also to add to the great night we had Jon went and gambled a little bit, I know LDS people don't do that but don't judge, and he won over $4oo which paid for the room lunch, gas and then I got to keep some for myself, yay! It was a great stay to say the least.

We decided though that we are going back once the weather is nicer and staying there cause we liked it so much.

My dear husband

I love how my husband is so willing to help at times. For example, tonight he came home from work and said he would make dinner. You would think this would make me really happy and it does in a way but not in other. He will make an amazing dinner. However after he is done cooking and eating I am left with a huge mess that I never make when I cook. Not only that but now I have to clean cause he won't.

What sucks about this is that I do get a break from cooking but the work that is left is more than if I have cooked and cleaned.

Why is it that when the woman cook they also have to clean but when the man cook we also get stuck with cleaning. I do not understand this.

I sometimes joke with my husband that maybe it would be easier being married to a women cause they would understand me better.

My poor little man

So not only does my Baby have an ear infection to top it off he now has a stomach virus and the doctor said that is why he had such a high fever on saturday (103.5) isn't that just great. He can't even keep the antibiotic medicine down which is a problem.

The weird thing is he keeps on asking for food so I give him whatever he wants but within minutes its all back out.

On the positive maybe we are just getting all the sickness out of the way all at once. At least that's what I am telling myself.

We are having a rough day

It all started on Saturday during Baby's nap, I felt him and he was super hot. I didn't wake him up I just waited till he woke up and then I took his temperature which was at 103.4 way too high. I panicked and called my MIL who is a nurse but she didn't answer so I called my SIL she told me to give him tylenol and motrin. I did that and the temperature went down and then the rest of the day he was totally fine no temperature he ate normal and played all day. Around bedtime again the fever came back but with some tylenol it went down. Yesterday he acted normal but again around bedtime his fever came back and this time nothing would bring it down all night long. This made for a horrible night. We barely got any sleep.

By morning time I was determined that this needed a doctor visit however my husband not so much. I don't know what it is about guys but if it were up to them children would never be seen by doctors or maybe that's just my husband who knows. I told him to read up on ear infections cause I was certain thats what it was. After looking it up and seeing that if he did have an ear infection and it didn't get treated he could lose hearing he was a go.

Well don't you know I was right he has an ear infection. This is the first ear infection and HOLLY COW! Oh my goodness I am about to pull my hair out.

He wants nothing but boobie and the problem is there is no boobie juice :( how sad...I am not allowed to touch him neither is my husband. He won't eat or drink anything. He is just walking around the house crying and screaming. This makes me so sad. I hope the antibiotics will kick in soon and make him feel better cause I just do not know what to do.

Welcome 2011

I am so excited for this year. I know its going to be a good one cause I am going to make it a good one whether or not it is what I want I will make choices so that I can be happy. So far we are starting out in a better place financially than we have any other year. This time around we also have a budget in place so I am super happy that I feel like maybe the trials we have gone thru in the past haven't been for nothing. We actually learned something.

This year:

-I am going to try my hardest and look at the positive in every situation and just be more positive in general.

-I will also try and be a better mom to my handsome little man

-I will try and be a better wife

-I will do at least one bike century

Those are the major things. I never make any health goals because I never keep them. I just try and do it one day at a time or else I feel like a total failure.
