Oh Crap!

So we have finished the living room in our basement, but the builder wired it for a suround sound system so that we can put one in if we so choose. Anyway, there are wires poking out of the little holes so that we can wire the speakers to them. The other night Devin, Corey and I were sitting on the couch watching a movie. Corey looked straight up and said "Oh crap, Mama!" I giggled out of hilarity and suprise and said "What did you say?" And Corey says "Oh crap mom!" So I asked him what was oh crap. He pointed up to the roof and said "Des a ho in da woof!" So he was pretty upset thinking that there should not have been a hole in the roof! I just alaughed and though to myself that I would have to remember that so that I could blog it. He is such a funny kid.
The other day I was outside watering the garden. Corey was in his jammies and didn't have shoes on, so he sat on the back steps so that he could still be outside with me. I told him to stay there so that Chuck's chain didn't make him fall, so he said "okay!" I had almost finished watereing and I had my back turned away from Corey. All of a sudden I heard this horrified squeal. I turned to see Corey running from Chuck, who was so excited that he had a little friend to play with, so he was chasing Corey. Corey got to me and climbed up my legs and said "No no Chuck! No get me!" I love that boy!

Jeep, House, Grass, Garden

Well We have been extra busy over the last month since we moved intou the house. We put sod in the front yard, so we have to make sure it gets plenty of water. We actually got the sod for free. There is road constuction in Pocatello, so all of the grass that was there was dug up and put inot a huge pile. We made several trips over there and pieced it together like a puzzle in the front yard. It has been in about 2 weeks and is starting to green up a lot, mostly in patches, but it's better than it was.
We have also been working on the Jeep a lot too. We took the front fenders off and are in the process of taking off the axels so that we can put stronger ones on. After that we are going to put on the 37 inch tires and do a lift. Then we will make fender flares for the front and attach rock crushers on the back and sides. Then we will probably do a new paint job when everything is done. It is turning out to be quite the fun project.
Devin also bought an F350 diesel. It needs a new motor and transmission, but it still runs really strong and pulls just about anything. We are going to put new seats in and replace the lights on the roof. It is a fun project too.
We have also gotten our garden ready to plant. I found vegetable seeds at the dollar store, 6 packets for $1! I was pretty excited about that. I will be planting the seeds in the next day or two and I have high hopes of growing lots of veggies. mmmmm! Thanks Dad for teaching me how to garden when I was a kid!
I think that is most of our lives right now. Corey is doing good and liking his new daycare (despite being kicked in the head his first week!). Devin is doing good with school and work. Yeah, we're just busy busy!

the view from my friend's truck with all four tires on the ground while climbing boulders, notice the jet at the top of the windshield.

this truck is awesome! also pictured above with the jet

Eric's truck, way cool! 44" tires and a 2" lift, the bottom of the door frame sits about chest level for me, huge and way fun! This thing is a tank and can climb anything!

We ripped the front license plate off when we slid into a rock. This was a fun trip up to Shelley.

Our Wrangler, way fun!! Love it!

This is our first Jeep, a '65 CJ5. We traded a guy for our 4wheeler. 2 months later we found a guy that had the Wrangler that wanted a CJ5, so we traded him Jeeps. He is still convinced that he got the better end of the deal. I guess if he's happy then there's nothing to worry about!

This is my knee after four days. This is the first time without the bandage. Can you say UGLY?!!

What does Daddy say?

This morning while I was taking Corey to school/daycare I was asking him what sound the animals say. He got most of them right so I thought I'd try something different. I asked him "What does Mommy say?" He responded "Ummm..." so I said "Mommy says I love you Corey." He repeated it and was so cute! Then I asked him what Daaddy says. His response... "Poop!"
Funny kid!

Okay!

Well, I have been waiting to post until I could put some pictures on because I have a LOT of pictures to post! But it seems that I never have time to put the pictures on the computer.

My knee is doing a lot better. I can walk somewhat normally now. It will be three weeks tomorrow. I have an appointment today and I will have it drained again. Woop-d-doo! Anyway, I think it will be a good thing when I can acctually use it like normal. I'm not sure if it was worth it just yet because it is still useless and sore and fat, but everyday it gets a little better.

Our house is scheduled to be done in 10 days!! We are getting really excited to have it done. It is coming along really well and it looks great! The paint is done, and the tile and carpet are going in right now. Yay!

We have joined an offroading club too. We traded our 4-wheeler for a Jeep so that we can take the whole family and fit comfortably. We have been out on several trail rides and have LOVED it! We just got the bigger tires in and we are replacing the axels and going to do a spring over and possibly a 2 inch lift. Once we get all of that done it should be albe to go wherever we want it to go. It is our latest fun project.

I will post pictures of all of this as soon as I get a chance to move pictures from my camera to the computer. Hopefully that will happen in the next day or two.

I hope you are all doing good!

Nervous!

Well, tomorrow is the big day! I go in at 7:30 in the morning. We will take Corey to daycare and then head to the hospital. I have decided that I don't want to have a surgery, I just want the end result. Is that dumb? Oh well!

Surgery & House

I have a date for the surgery. I was hoping to wait until after we move into our house, but the insurance company wants it done ASAP. So I will go in at about 7:00 a.m. on Friday the 19th of March (that's in about 2 weeks!). I am planning on being gone from work for the following week for sure and if I need more time I will take part of the nest week off too. The doctor said it is supposed to be painful and it will bleed a lot inside. I will have to go in and have it lanced and drained. Yippee! But I am glad to have it done. I am hoping it will feel better soon!

Our house is coming along great! It has a roof and walls framed, the builder will be starting on drywall in the next day or two. Devin and I decided that we would like a black roof, medium brown siding with darker brown trim, and black bricks on the bottom half. We saw one house that looked similar and we decided that we really like how the colors coordinate, so that's how we will have ours. It is a lot of fun to see everything come together! We still need to pick out tile and carpet and paint for the inside. We know we don't want white walls, so we may go with a light green or a beige. That will be an easier decision once we get the other things picked out. It is a lot of fun!
