Dillon's big day


Have I mentioned that I am the best mom ever?  Well I am. This year Dillon's birthday landed on Mother's day, yeah I know, totally unfair right.  Jason had to work, so we decided to take a trip to Mackay and hang out there for the festivities.  Dillon was a little disappointed, because he is used to having lots of family and friends over for is big day (my dad was working also),  but he soon rallied after we said he could invite great grandma and grandpa to come over.  I am a bit disappointed in myself, I never got pictures with said great grandparents.  I rock, where is my sister when I need her?
I made this awesome birthday cake!  It's a football field for those of you who can't appreciate my genius.
 As you can see it was a group effort to blow out the candles, even Elleree participated!
Dillon got cloths, books, battleship the game, and a bike.  Great grandma Vaden put battleship together while we ate cake, then she stayed and showed the kids how to play it.  They even got grandma Ann to play, which if you know my mom is a miracle!

I think Dillon had a good birthday, and as for mother's day......  How wonderful to be reminded that 7 years ago I had my first little (okay not so little) boy, and was a mother for the first time!  My kids are what it is all about!

More Good Times

I am not loving life right now..

Two weeks ago someone hacked into my e-mail account and sent a message to all my contacts.  They said I was in the UK (I wish) they were just trying to get money from everyone.  This would have been fine, but then they took it one step further and hacked into my Facebook account and  proceeded to have live chats with anyone of my friends who happened to get on.  They almost got a few people to send money to them/me.  Need less to say I was bombarded with phone calls,e-mails, and texts regarding said conversations for the next day or so.  I spent two days changing every password, username and e-mail address that I ever had, and finding out what to do to protect against this happening again.  It sucked!

Also, about two weeks ago I started complaining of a pain/chaffing sensation on my skin/side.  No one really thought anything of it, except me because it really hurt! Then about 4 days ago a bunch of red bumps started showing up in the exact spot where I was having the pain. These bumps itch and really hurt.  Some of you have probably already guessed, the rest I will leave you in suspense no longer.  I have Shingles!  Yes, I know, my life rocks!  After researching shingles though,  I realized my case is a very, very mild case. 

 Don't be grossed out, but this is my side/back with the rash.

Now for this weekend....
Jason the cute man that he is planned another one of his "adventures".  Yeah I know.  This one was to the great city of Twin Falls.  Jason had to work in Jerome on Saturday, so he thought it would be nice for us to go with him and stay at a hotel, swim, go to a movie, and just have fun.  Nothing ever works out the way we plan. On our way to our destination we stopped at Tasty Treat for dinner......... Truman threw up (big surprise there)  and Elleree had the runs so bad that she literally had poop oozzzing  out of the top of her diaper.  It was great!  Jason ended up staying up all night with Truman while he threw up (don't feel too bad for him there have been plenty of other nights I have done it too).  Elleree and Truman procedded to be sick for the rest of the day.  We were kicked out of the hotel at noon (needless to say no swimming) and we ended up at the theater.  I am happy to say no one puked, or pooped the entire length of the movie!  Then we had to hang out at R and R Pharmacy until Jason got off work. 

So, I am not having good times lately.  I do hope everyone else is doing better than we are!
