Snow Tubing!!!

Well I've never been snow tubing, or skiing for that matter, so when I heard about this place that was less then an hour away from me where it was nothing but snow tubing, it seemed like ther perfect place to go. I knew it wouldn't be good to take Alex, but Logan was so excited!! We went with my brother Rick and his girlfriend Laura. After a very interesting ride there (the GPS decided to avoid ALL major roads and took us through corn fields and farms!), we got there around 1:00. We immediately got in line with our tubes to go up the pulley track, which hooks to your tube and drags you up the hill. Logan was a little scared at first, as was I, but as soon as we got to the top and got ready, the man did not give us any time to second guess!! We zoomed down the hill together and loved it!!! We ended up spending most of the day there, trying the different lanes and even the kiddie slope. I would love to go back again with more people, and stay the night at the hotel there-it was such a fun day!!

Happy Valentine's Day!!

The boys both had Valentine's Day parties at school on Friday-so they already had lots of candy and cards. But I always get them something special. Logan really wanted the movie Space Buddies, so I got him that, and a big Hershey Kiss.

Alex got a light up globe and a small box of chocolates, along with the big Hershey Kiss too.


Then we went with all the cousins swimming and then got ice cream from Dairy Queen. It was a very "sweet" day!!

Busy Busy Busy!!

Wow I feel like the last few weeks have been crazy! Mainly with my job-some of the group assignments have changed and that means that I've had to go into the office more to help out. Now normally I wouldn't mind this-but I tell you-I don't know how you people do it!! Trying to get 2 kids up, fed breakfast, dressed and out the door in time to get to work, is impossible!!! I guess I'm just spoiled, but I've never really had a time restraint in the mornings-except to get Logan on the bus, which can be a challenge in itself! Plus the driving to and from work, takes time away from my work, and I wind up having to work late at night. Hopefully this will slow down some-this week shouldn't be too bad.

But my update is that Justin is finally back to work, he is going to try to go full time this week for the first time in a year. He's been doing part time, but feels that he is up to doing all day. He is still recovering from the surgery pain, but he thinks the pain pump is working on his legs and is looking forward to starting the weaning process off his oral meds.

Logan has his good and bad days-he is doing well in school, but there are days that he is just off-and has a bad day. I'm hoping that with the psychological testing they are doing there, he will finally get a diagnosis that we can work with.

Alex is good-although I've decided to have a speech evaluation done on him. He is just not talking like he should be by this age. He repeats anything, but its hard to understand and he still babbles alot, and does not communicate well. We'll see what they say, I hope they can help him-he has a lot to say-he just can't quite get it all out!!!

Well that's about it-I'm so behind on all my personal stuff-but gotta make money!!!
