A Whole Week!

I can't believe I haven't posted for a whole week. I apologize. Things have been pretty crazy. We had a really nice Valentine's Day weekend. I had to go to a really long (3 hours) ward conference leadership meeting Saturday morning, so Ian stayed with the boys and took them to the mall to buy some See's for our Valentine's evening. When they got home I made heart shaped pb&j for lunch. Weston thought it was awesome. I also brought the boys home mylar heart balloons. They were a big hit. Davin was fascinated for 20 minutes at a time and Weston just ran back and forth through the house pulling his balloon behind him. He also called himself the balloon man, of course.
I finally got the carseat thing taken care of from my rear-ending accident. It turned out to be a pretty sweet deal. Davin needed a new carseat since he is pretty much done with his infant carrier, so that was on the list to buy, but with the accident the insurance paid a portion to replace both carseats. I got both the boys new carseats and ended up paying just $70 out of pocket for both. Anyway, Ian installed the new carseats on Friday night, so we had 2 huge boxes all weekend. Weston pretended they were rockets, but mostly just hid in them.
Ok, so back to Valentine's Day. That evening I made Weston heart shaped pancakes for dinner and then let Weston open his Valentine gifts from me and Grandma B and Grandpa Bob. After the kids were in bed I made spaghetti with mizithra (a fav dish of ours from Spaghetti Factory) for Ian and I. We ate by candlelight with no interruptions. It was great. We had rented this movie to watch while we enjoyed our See's. It was one of the worst movies I have ever sat through. So slow and disjointed with a horrible ending. Oh well. It was still a nice night.

So then we had Ward Conference on Sunday where I taught YW and sang with the choir. In the midst of all of this we have ALL been sick. Davin and Ian have had it the worst. Weston and I have mostly just been congested. Monday we took both the boys to the doctor just to make sure it was just a cold and not ear infections or strep. Davin still had a little bit of an ear infection, so he is back on an antibiotic and I am doing his inhaler again. Weston is pretty much fine. Hopefully we will all be in good shape by the time we leave for California on Friday.

As most of you know we have been thinking about selling our house for awhile now. Well last week we talked to our mortgage broker to see about getting approved for a new loan before we put our house on the market. All was well on that end, so this weekend Ian brought home the nice camera and we took pictures of the house. We finally got a hold of our realtor on Sunday and he sent us a list of comp homes on the market right now in our area and a list of homes that had recently sold. Unfortunately they were pretty much ALL under what we are trying to sell our house for. Long story short, we have decided we need to wait. We are not going to be moving for a few more years at this point, so no more questions about it. I'm a little bummed, but at the same time excited for the house projects we will now do and the possibility of getting a new car.

Yesterday we spent the day running some errands and then met up with my friend for lunch. They came over to play after lunch and spent the evening with us. After dinner Dawnie and I went to see Confessions of a Shopaholic. It was so fun! I loved the movie, even though it was different from the book in a lot of ways. Isla Fisher was awesome as Becky. I hope they make another movie using the other books in the series.

So, yes. We have been busy. This is what Weston is doing right now. Literally. Davin is doing the opposite (screaming in his crib) even though he is equally exhausted. Sigh.
Anyway, I am going to take the car to get the oil changed tomorrow and then pack up and we will be hitting the I-15 on our way to CA on Friday afternoon. I will try to post while we are gone, but I make no guarantees, so at least there will be a good excuse for my absence from the blogging world this time, but rest assured I will have lots of fun stories and pics to blog about when we get back. So long!
