Memorial Day Weekend 2009

We had a wonderful time with the family this Memorial Day weekend. We headed over to Tim and Mel's house for the family party on Sunday. The kids had a blast swimming and hanging out. The adults had fun chatting and swimming too :) Kathy of course made some awesome food...its great to have our own "Martha Stewart" in the family! She is always trying something new...I look forward to seeing what she makes :) On Monday we just hung out around home..we were going to take the kids to the Science Museum but having been in O.C 3 times in the last 3 days has taken a toll on our gas budget so we just hung out at home and had BBQ ribs and Grilled Corn On The Cob YUM!! We also went and visited Jeff's grandmas at the cemetery. Here are some pics from the weekend:

Emma and dad in the pool~Emma not so sure she likes it quite yet

Look I got a SMILE on camera!!

Dallin being goofy

Melissa and Hunter being silly :)

Jeff throwing Jordan into the pool~ Which he LOVES

Oh I almost forgot to add...Emma went to the Dr for her 18mth check up and here are her stats:

Height: 33.5 Inches
Weight: 23lb 6oz

She is in the 50% for her weight and 80% for her height...the boys at this stage were always 100% lol. She is definitely petite compared to how they were..which is great since she is a girl!

Until next time!

Soooo

Yes MOM I know its been over 2 months since I've blogged...BUT Mom you are pretty much the only one that reads it...and I talk to you almost daily...LOL just kidding! Not a lot has been going on over the last few months. Dallin joined the school track team at the beginning of April and had his meet last week.

Even though he didn't get in first place (which he was totally bummed about) he did great! Considering he was still recovering from Bronchitis and needing his Inhaler he was a champ! He has decided that he is going to join the team again next year and Hunter wants to join as well!

I went to the Dr a couple of weeks ago to get my CFS (Chronic Fatigue Syndrome) checked out and the Dr feels that I have now also developed FM (Fibromyalgia) and ordered a bunch of blood tests including an Epstein Barr Virus test since that is what I originally had and I was having symptoms of again. Test came back that my EBV was VERY VERY high and I am currently sick from that...don't worry Chronic EBV isn't contagious...or else my whole family would be sick since I have had it off and on for over 7 years. I have my good days and my bad ones. Someday's all I want to do is sleep and other days (like yesterday) I get a bunch of stuff done. I had and x-ray of my hip since I have been having Chronic Pain and I haven't heard back yet even though it has been almost 2 weeks...I guess I should call about that...I will when I'm done :-) Hmm what else has been going on?? Nothing much really, the boys are almost done with school (a few more weeks), they are currently doing state testing and then they are looking forward to the summer! I have to think of things for them to do this year so they don't get bored and stay inside and play video games ALL.DAY.LONG like last summer..Hopefully I will feel A LOT better soon and we can do some fun stuff! Anyway...if you have some ideas for the summer..let me know! Hopefully next time it won't be so long between posts LOL
