I havn't been scrapping much because i havn't felt all that well - kinda blah - I did get to go play with Becky and Kim over the weekend. But other than that - nada - i didn't even get much done over there other than some fussy cutting and my pathetic attempt at stamping. But Monday rolled around and i was in LOTS of pain - i had just figured that my adhesions had come back to haunt me and take over my right side. So i went into the doctor and told him what i thought was going on - i was seriously nautious the pain was so bad and figured i would get another lapriscopic surgery and maybe even remove the right ovary - but he said let's check your ovary in case its something else - he almost laughed when he saw it - i had a 4x4 inch cyst on my ovary - NO WONDER i hurt so bad. He even printed me a picture and said it was fridge worthy and that it deserved a name. WoW - so in the big picture - it is a good thing - no surgeries for now - just some birth control to put that ovary to sleep for a few months and some pain meds to help till it goes away - it had actually ruptured so was leaking fluid into my pelvic cavity (TMI - sorry) - which is not the most comfortable feeling in the world. Needless to say it seems like all my deadlines fall when i have alot going on or not feeling well - so that's what i'm doing this week - trying to make it through the day and get through some of my deadlines. Thanks for letting me whine - ya know i'm coming up on the big 33 next week and good things are bound to happen- right - birthdays are always fun - even if you are getting older! My kids love birthdays! No matter who's they are!

We made sugar cookies after dinner!
Here it is - not too shabby for trying to be festive right - and that rice does look pretty scary but it tasted fine. This is my kids favorite - hamburger gravy and homeade rolls.







Cute family picture at Red Rock park - this was a great park.
Another family pic with Dean's (mine too) niece Haley. She is so darn cute - going to Dixie college. She actually took some time out of her busy college life to come watch all 6 kids while we went to dinner with Dean's aunt and uncle that live down there while its winter up in Ogden. We went to some yummy Brazillian restaruant.
This is the kids on the way home - they were so tired and ornery - baylee and Ethan fell asleep for a few hours which was nice - and Mason had his nose stuck in this book most of the ride home (5 hours) - he actually read the entire book during the trip - almost 400 pages. Not sure where he got his love of reading - definatly not Dean or I - but i'm sure glad he loves it.
So that's it - we just enjoyed the weather and played outside lots - we did swim a few times too - no pressure, no emails, no phone calls (for me anway) - Dean worked quite a bit. We even took the Wii and played some Mario Kart while Baylee took her naps during the afternoon. She was sick and had a low grade fever most of the weekend but was such a trooper!
