C is for Cookie...

This silly girl helped me make cookies tonight:

She was so excited to help!

She LOVES taking things out of the microwave!

More helping!

Notice her covering her ears?!?

A little tasting:

Some more helping

She tried to taste some more!

She was bummed when I told her no

Here she is asking if she can just stick her finger in it ha ha

Unfortunately our cookies did not turn out. She had fun making them and she wasn't interested in tasting them after they were done so that was good!
She changed into her jammies and we had some fun with the camera before bed time.

Leigha!

Oh my Maleigha has THE best facial expressions--she always has. Here is one example:

And another:

And more recently:

She is definitely a child that keeps me on my toes and pushes my buttons and has my hair turning gray, but how can you not love this face??

(The top and bottom pictures were taken by Kelly and the middle one was by Andrea...thanks!)  :)

My poor Beanie!

Kylee woke up yesterday complaining of an upset belly. She seemed to be doing better as the morning went on so I took the kids to Kelly's and went to work. As the day went on, she was not doing so hot. She came down with a fever and pretty much just laid around all day. She was ready for bed by 8 and was fast asleep. She woke up around 2 throwing up. We came downstairs and discovered she had a high fever. I gave her some meds, put on a movie, and she fell back asleep.
She woke up around 7 throwing up again and still had a high fever. So she got more meds and I decided to stay home with her. She fell back asleep off and on during the morning.

My mom stopped by after her visit to the gym and I ran to the store to grab a few things and some Rebox movies. After I got back I decided to call the doctor. They wanted to see her so off we went.

She looks so miserable and seems to feel the same way. She was able to give me a fake smile!

The doctor tested her for strep, which came back negative. She just had a virus that has to run it's course. We are staying on top of the tylenol and keeping her hydrated. She spent most of the day like this:

She makes me sad. Hopefully she is feeling better soon!!

Day Trip!

My friend Brianne and I decided to take the kids to 1000 Springs Resort in Hagerman (about an hour and a half away) so that we could go swimming at the Hot Springs there. The girls (she has a daughter a year older than Kylee) did great on the drive up. Maleigha was ready to be down about the time we stopped for lunch. We stopped at a restuarant in town--not many to choose from in the small town. I was looking over the menu and saw this:

Idaho Alligator! Yuck! We didn't try that...but our lunch was good.

We had to drive a little more to get to the Hot Springs, but the drive was so pretty! The Hot Springs was right on the river and there were water falls behind the Springs. It was be so pretty in the summer---I hope to go back in the Spring or Summer. Or both!

I didn't get many pictures inside the hot springs...cause we were too busy swimming!! The ones I did get--my lens got foggy super quick:

The girls were excited to finally get the snacks on the drive home:

We pulled over on the drive home and looked at some of the scenery:

It was very pretty there. I would love to go back and do some sight seeing and go to some of the museums they have there. We all had fun. It was nice to get away---even if it was just for the day!

Ouch!

I needed something to get me motivated to lose the rest of the weight I need/want to lose. So I had this bright idea to try P90X. I have finished day 2....88 more to go! The work outs are at least 60 minutes long so I have been getting up early and doing them before work, which has me feeling pretty good for the day. I am excited to see the changes over the next 30, 60, and 90 days!
