Where have we been????

Good heck it's hard to find time to get on the computer when you don't have the Internet at home. But now I have it available in house so hopefully I will be able to keep up on this now.. (I will at least try) We have had an...INTERESTING month.

On March 6th Daxten turned 2. I can't believe he is that big. It seems like he was just born and now he's big enough to fight with Kyler, Ride bikes, and carry on conversations.... Now we just need to get him potty trained.

Kyler turned 5 on March 15th. That really makes me feel old! he is going to play Spring soccer in the city league and will go to Kindergarten this Fall. He is such a smart little boy I can't tell him things in hopes that he will get side tracked and forget about them later. He remember EVERYTHING!! It's a good thing he got his dads Smarts and mom looks!

On Saturday the 14th we got up Extra early and headed to Tooele valley to watch Justin Launch the rocket him and different people are building for their Senior project. we had to be out to the middle of now where by 8:30am. I thought we would go launch and then leave but it took them til Noon to get everything set up and then 3 launches and it finally flew about 230pm. Kyler was so excited to watch daddy's rocket. they also had a bunch of smaller rockets that different groups were launching so it kept the kids entertained while we waited for dads to fly. Justin had been building the motor for his part of the Rocket. They are supposed to launch the rocket and get it as close to 1mile up as they can and land it with out breaking it. I can't remember how close they were to 1 mile but it was just a few feet over a mile. The team that's building the rocket flies out to Alabama for a competition with other schools. and the school that is supposed to be the best were 600 feet off of a mile. :) that's good news for the USU team. I wish Justin and all the other good luck out in Alabama!
After we got done with the rocket we went and seen Uncle Cody and aunt Rachelle ( my boys adore these 2) They gave the kids birthday presents and then we all went to Chucky Cheese for a birthday lunch. Kyler had a ball playing the games and Daxten loved to ride the Monster Truck.
I was going to burn my house down last week. It was awful! 1st i clogged my drain (on accident). we thought the drain was cleared but the clog just moved down the pipes and clogged the washer drain, so I stuck a snake down the pipes to see if i could get it cleared out and pulled mud out of my drain. PIPES BROKE! so i called the plumber he came by and when we looked in the trap door to go under the house 2feet of water! the outside water like had broken! so I had to vacuum as much water as I could out, we had to fix that broken pipe ourselves (save a little $$) then we had to let the door sit open for a few days to dry out so the plumber could get under the house to fix the original broken pipe. In the middle of this all happening one day my Water heater decided to DIE! so i could do Laundry (clogged drain) couldn't do dishes (broken pipe) and we could take a hot shower/or bath ( Water heater died) :( with all my hormones out of control I think I called my dad everyday having a melt down! I was so glad my parents live close enough I was able to wash a few loads of laundry so we could have clean underwear and a good hot shower for my self and a tubby for the boys! I don't know what we would have done if we didn't have family living close by! We survived this awful week and now I am caught up on dishes and laundry and haven't had a melt down in a few days! :)

On a happier less Melt down note we got a new camping trailer! it's 2001 but the people that we bought it from were an older couple so it's really in Great condition. and anything is better then the 1980 WELL USED trailer we used last year! I'm so excited to take it camping this year. Kyler was even more excited about it then me and Justin. I think if I would have had this trailer last week I'm afraid I may have really burned my house down! :)
