Finally feeling better!

Well its been a long week in the house. It all started last Wednesday when Garrett started getting sick. He missed school that day and I braced for the worst. We got a big snow storm come in that day and canceled schools for the next 2 days. During those 2 days Hailey got sick on Thursday night and Hannah in the wee hours (1am) Friday morning. I was up for 36 hours (Thursday morning-Friday night) with sick kids. After going most of the day on Friday with no one vomiting we thought maybe it would skip Lance. But low and behold Saturday morning Lance started getting sick. He was only sick for a few hours and then it was done. Ty and I were the hold outs. I started feeling Ill on Sunday night through Monday night. We got lucky with it being a holiday weekend that we had 5 total days off school so the kids didn't really miss any time off for being sick. Ty was lucky and seems to have escaped it for the most part. He's lucky, becuase it was horrible and I'm soooo glad we won't have to do that again for a while I hope.

Other than illness sweeping the family things here are good. As seen in previous posts I have another blog for my jewelry making. I'm not a pro by any means, but its a fun hobby, and if I can make a few dollars doing it, great! I've been staying pretty busy with that and the kids. Ty started back to school in the beginning of January and is doing that and working full time so he's always busy with something. The kids aren't in any sports yet, we're considering baseball in the spring for the boys, and possibly a ballet class for Hailey. I think I'm going to let her try it a couple times and if she likes it I'll sign her up. I am very sick of snow and ready for spring to finally get here, only 2-3 more months till we're done with snow. Hope all is well with all of you.

For those of you who watch this I thought I'd give you a heads up one something I've been working on.

If you want to check it out the address is http://hottmommadesigns.blogspot.com/ Don't laugh to hard at the name, a friend helped me come up with it ;) Leave me some comments on here or on there. Would love some feedback on likes and dislikes of stuff I've made. Always looking for self improvement.

Snow, Snow and more Snow!

Well we got some snow today...I think we're up to about 4-5 inches. The kids went out to play in the front yard which was covered in it. Garrett didn't get to go out though, he's been sick all day, so we'll post more pics after he's feeling better and gets to go out too.

One more snow pic :)

This is a cool pic I took today of a bridge near our house. Its been snowing the past couple days and looks amazing! My cousin Ang posted something a while back about a pic she found that reminded her of this place...so Ang, this is for you :)
