Things have been busy here over the past couple weeks, we picked up my mother in law at the airport a couple weeks ago and on our way to do that we stopped at IKEA, I know IKEA, it was shocking to me too. Never in a million years thought I would see Don's shadow darken the doorway of one of those stores =). We found a lot of cool things and didn't get lost which was surprising also!

Our cool new Ikea rug complete with full roads.

Life has been pretty hectic the past couple weeks. Don left for a run to Ohio and daycare has been a bit busy so taking pictures or posting has been quite low on my list of priorities. Last week we went with some friends to a lambing barn in Corvallis. We didn't see any born but lots of babies and lots of uncomfortable looking mama sheep. We also headed up to Hillsboro on Sunday, went to OMSI but I totally forgot my camera so no pictures, I'm bad I know.

Sweet little notes!

Ty wanted to write me a note the other day and when I went to read it found that it was in Post its! So glad I got a picture! He's so sweet!

Finally an update

My mom came to visit last weekend and we had a great time. We didn't really do anything super exciting, we bowled one day and just spent time together.

Whew what a week!

Sorry its been a few days since my last post, it's been a rough week. Got a phone call Monday morning that one of my friends 2 and a half year old son was killed while they were out running. I have known this gal for I think five or six years and of course Dylan his whole life. He was such a sweet little boy, he was mischevious but always had such a twinkle in his eye and loved to make people laugh. The kids have taken it especially hard, they have gone to bible study with this family and we just saw him a few days before the accident. I lost it completely at the service this weekend when we were looking at the memory boards and Brock said, "look Mommy there's my friend." The message that was given during the service was so great especially for the kids talking about how Dylan had christian parents and a prayer life right from birth so when he went to heaven and saw Jesus there was no fear, or trepidation! Also that we are apart from him but where he is that's where we are going! I want to make sure I continue to raise my kids to love Jesus but to know hey I've got Jesus in my heart and I'm going to heaven so I get to see Dylan again was a great thing for the kids to hear. I am so thankful for a new week and for the family God has given me!

Ouchee

Well I did it, I broke my pinky toe, yes I'm a dork and yes it hurt! Thought I would share a couple pictures of the yuckiness.

My gorgeous girl!

Morgan has discovered a new hairstyle, it totally reminds me of the 80's but hey she loves it so that's all that counts. I wish I could get away with trying new things like she does.
