Days Off School!

The kids had no school on Thursday and Friday this week, so that means I didn't have to drive the bus those 2 days! Yahoo!! Ha ha! Nice to have a little break. Wednesday after bus and I got the kids we headed out to the farm so I could pick up the laundry. Richard was there with DJ. He took DJ out to work while I drove bus. DJ was in heaven. He took his big tool box that his dad gave him with some real tools, and he went to work!! He loved it!!

We picked up the boys and we headed to Lethbridge. I had to get a few things at Walmart that I forgot the day before. DJ is the Star of the week, next week and I needed to get pictures so we could get his poster put together. We also had to get a wireless modum for our house. Then we decided to go out for dinner at IHop. It was nice to be together as a family. It was a good night!

Waiting for our food at IHOP's!!! DJ was being very goofy!

Brianna took a picture of her coloring!!! So cute!

Thursday morning Richard went to work. But his van was out at the farm, so I told him to take the Escalade and I would run out to the farm for my exercise. He looked at me like I was crazy, but he went! Ha ha! I was determined to get the house clean so we could have some fun later on in the day. But first I had to go get the Escalade. I got all ready for my run and DJ started freaking out.....he wanted to come. I kept telling him it was way too far for him to run with me. But he wouldn't take no. So he got dressed and we headed out. I grabbed his bike and he rode the first 2kms on his bike while I ran behind him. Then when we turned onto the gravel road, we put his bike in the ditch and he ran and walked with me for the last 2kms. It was beautiful out with no wind and we were getting too hot with our toque and gloves on. He loved being with me and me with him!! Ha ha! We had a good talk. He has a HUGE crush on a girl at school. At first we laughed it off, but all he talks about is Nikki. He gave her a Christmas gift, which we thought was so cute. But the funny thing is when he sees Nikki he gets super shy and will whisper hi to her. It cracks me up. He keeps telling us that he is going to marry her. Oh man, it's so funny. My girls haven't done this....ever. It's so funny

My crazy, goofy kid showing me his wild side!!! Ha ha!

DJ and I taking some crazy selfies!!

Love this boy!

Anyways, we made it out to the farm. We were both so thirsty!! It was an awesome work out. The guy from Shockware, was there putting in our internet. Yay!!! So exciting. I had to fill out some paper work and we were set up!!! Awesome!!

We then came back to the house and everyone went to work cleaning up. The kids were pretty helpful, and then they'd go out side and play for a little bit. But by the afternoon we had it nice and clean. We even went out to the farm and put in a load of laundry on our way to Cardston.

Steve and Stacey were going to be there in the late afternoon. We were all planning on meeting and eating at DQ and then going to Chase's basketball game. We were pretty excited to see them and Shaylee and Mikah. We ended up meeting them at the car wash....which was funny!! Then we followed each other down to DQ's!

Tiffani came with Keira and Emmett, and Mom and Megan and Chris too. There was a whole bunch of us. It was fun to all visit and eat together....even if it was at DQ's!! ha ha!! The kids had fun playing with their cousins. Love getting together.

Abbi talking to Emmett and making him smile so big! It was so cute!

Then we went to the basketball game. It was like a family reunion in the stands!! ha ha! It was fun to visit and cheer for Chase. He did awesome. My kids had fun running around with Shaylee. They had a blast chasing each other around. I miss seeing Stacey all the time and talking with her. So I enjoyed being able to catch up and spend time with her and her family. Even though it was only 1 night, it was fun! Chase's team won their game! They played so good. We said good bye to everyone and headed out.

Go Chase!

And he made the basket!!

The kids chasing each other under the bleachers!

My kids with Shaylee! She's so much fun!!! This was the day before her 13th birthday!

We came back home and picked up Richard. I had packed clothes for everyone and we headed to my parents. Then we put the kids to bed. My mom was going to watch the kids for us on Friday. Richard and I had to leave the house by 5:40 on Friday morning, I was having my surgery that day. We had to be at the hospital by 6:20. We made it there by 6 and I realized I forgot my purse at my parents. So Richard took off and went and got it. He's a pretty awesome guy! I felt so bad, but he didn't complain! Sheesh, me and my forgetfulness!! But it all worked out. I was the first patient that day, so I didn't have to wait long to be taken into the operating room. Dr. Malach came in before they put me out and talked to me and made sure this is what I wanted and then told everyone in the room that I have triplets! Ha ha!! They all had to ask me questions! So funny! The operation went good and we were back home by 1:30pm the same day. I just layed down and relaxed.

Richard's parents took the kids Friday night and had them all day today too. Richard is just going to go get them tonight. I'm feeling a bit better. Grateful for a loving husband who didn't want to leave my side at all. Love him!
