Iowa Celebrity

I'm a local celebrity, well, in Iowa. Check your insurance people!

Updates

We have been really busy here, plus we had a bout of flu go through our home. We are once again healthy, and things are starting to slow back down. Unfortunately for blogging, most of the things we were busy with, were not things worthy of posting. An example: the week of Valentine's day, I had three Valentines parties I was in charge of planning, one party I was helping with, plus I had two sick kids. A little overwhelming, but I'm very grateful February is almost over.

The boys received haircuts again, and hopefully I'll be posting before and after pictures soon. Alex's change seems quite dramatic to us.

Valentine's Day

For Valentine's Day we gave the boys a little camera machine (complete with two microphones) that plugs into the TV. You can see and hear yourself on TV as you dance and sing along with the songs. (I found it for $10 at WalMart. Yeah WalMart!) Anyway, they love it. Check out the video below. Pretty cute.

Silver Mountain

Kale and I were privileged enough to have a night away from the kids. Our friends the Sevy's watched the kids while we stayed at the Silver Mountain Resort in Kellogg. (The next town over from ours.) Our room was VERY nice, and we really enjoyed the night.

The resort has an indoor water park which we have taken the kids to, but we thought it would be fun to go without them. By the time we ate dinner, the water park was closing, so we ended up not going. Even though we didn't get to do everything we had planned, we still enjoyed our time together. Imagine, married over 10 years, and we still like each other! Love ya babe!

Kidney Update

It looks like the transplant will probably happen this summer. My oldest brother Jason will most likely be the donor. He will finish up his testing in the next couple of months, and then a surgery date will be set. We are so excited for this to happen. Jason is quite proud. :) Besides being chosen to donate the kidney, his wife is also expecting a baby in a few weeks. (We're also excited for that!) Please keep our family in our prayers. (They seem to be working thus far!)

Match!

We have a match, or rather matches! It's so exciting. We haven't decided for sure on who yet, but me and my siblings are all pretty much even. Plus, if all of us don't work out, then my mom and Vinny are next on the list. Wa hoo! Three cheers for family!

PS Now we know that Nikki really wasn't adopted!
