Ugh, Still Sick!

OMGosh, This has been a LONG and horrible month for me. As soon as we got back from vacation, and I mean the very next day, I started having body aches and massive headaches. About a week later, I lost my voice with a terrible sore throat, and a bad cough. Now I have a nasty runny nose and a slight cough, it is getting better. This month has been yucky for me. Just when I think I am getting better and start getting back into my normal routine, I get sicker for another day or two.. ridiculous!! I am starting to feel better now, but I am still taking it easy for fear that I will take one step forward but two steps back.

I just wanted to update you, and let you know why I am a slacker with the blog. Well, I also started an algebra class this month and well, it is kicking my rear! So I spend a LOT of time with that during the week as well.

I hope you are all well, and healthy. I will post pictures of the kids' birthdays and whatnot here in the next week or so. TTYL

Ok, Ok, I know!!!!! It has been too long....

Ok, Yes, I know that I promised to write a while ago, but you see many things have happened when we got back. Ok, not much has happened, BUT I have been under the weather since we have been home. I am just now getting over a flu that had me couch bound for the weekend, and now I just have the lingering bronchitis.

Our trip to visit the family went well. Our drive was nice considering we had 3 kids and a stressed out dog with us. (Scout does not do well in the car)

Scout drools and sheds like crazy when we are traveling, poor thing. This time though she was drooling all over out traveling food! Yuck!

The scenery was BEAUTIFUL on the way up to Colorado, Idaho and through Utah!

The kids had a great time with cousins, grandparents, aunts and uncles! It was nice to sit and enjoy everyone's company. I was VERY lazy and I forgot to get pictures with everyone, so there are no pictures that I personally have to post with the family or the visit.. I know.. shame on me!

When we got back Justin had a wrestling meet that we decided not to attend. I was feeling yucky, and getting back in the car for a couple hours did not seem appealing after driving almost 17 hours just 5 days prior. So we stayed home. However, this past weekend there was another wrestling meet that we did attend in New Mexico, and Justin did well. He won his first matchwith points 14 to 4. We were excited since this was his first victory.

The next kid he wrestled, pinned him in about 45 seconds and the third kid pinned him in 30 seconds. He did well though and tried his hardest. He was excited no matter what and did not cry when he lost.

Well, that catches us up. This weekend is another wrestling meet, and next week is my baby's birthday.. she will be 9. Technically not a baby... but you know. More posts with more pictures later on!

We are Back!

We are back from our trip. It was nice to visit most of the family. We enjoyed every moment of it, and look forward to seeing them again soon. It was a l-o-n-g drive though and that is something I am not looking forward to.. lol. The kids were good in the car and really did not complain too much.. I think I was the complainer most of the time... I'm the Mom, I'm allowed to :).

I will post more about our trip in a couple days. Today is still a recovery day for us, and that means takin it easy.
