Denver, teeth, birthday, and a house?

I thought I'd look at my blog and i realized how much time has gone by since I posted last. Life has just been plain crazy. I didn't know how boring my life was in T-town I guess. Not much going on ever. Always just sitting around waiting for Micah to get home it seemed. This is the very first day in two weeks (literally) that we have not gone anywhere. I have to change my schedule somehow.

Anyway, I am very very excited because I am riding down with my rents to go to Denver next week for Thanksgiving!! Ahhhh! I am looking forward to seeing two of my very close friends Guru and Amos. It has been 3 months since I have seen either of them and it is long overdue. We are driving down starting out on Tuesday and finishing on Wednesday and coming back on Sunday. I am planning on doing a lot of nothing in the car without kids. This will be the first trip I have taken since I was prego with Ella that is simply a joytrip by myself. No kids in teh car. No work. Nothing. Just silence. Very exciting.

My big boy turned 5 on Wednesday. Yuck. I cannot believe that little baby of mine is five. Seriously...where does the time go? He is going to kindergarten next year! I'm going to die. We had a little bowling party for him and went to CiCi's afterwards. He had such a good time with his little friends. Ella gave him a Spiderman backpack and he carries it everywhere. Full of stuff. And Guru gave me the idea to give him Magnetix since JJ got them last year for Christmas. Let me tell you that if you have a boy who is 4 or 5 and does not have Magnetix, shame shame. You have got to get some. He will sit there for hours playing twith those little things. Pretty creative too. He also got a book from his grandma and grandpa that you can draw pics and then record your voice telling the story. Very cool.

I took the kiddos to the dentist the other day. Gabe had 2 cavities. Joy. And Ella has to have her front tooth pulled. Even bigger joy. She had cracked it on the floor over a year ago and we had a dentist look at it at that time. He said to just leave it and it would befine. Well this dentist took an x-ray of it and said that it is abscessed and infected under the root. If we don't have it pulled, then her permanent tooth will come in all decayed. So we are getting it yanked. With how emotional that little beauty of mine is, it should be every mother's nightmare. I'm just very grateful that I took her to the dentist and they found it. Otherwise her teeth would be so yucky when they grew in and I would be so mad at myself. Praise God.

We are still living with ma and pa and enjoying it. The kids just love it here and their Papa and LoLo do too. Micah is doing great also. Everyone gets along great and it really is just fine. However, I am ready to have my own house. There really is no urgency in getting something because it is too crazy cold to move int he winter anyway, but I need my own space. I want to be ableto spread all my scrap crap across the floor and work until 2:00 in the morning with the tv on and then leave it all out for the next day without feeling like I'm in someone's way. I love my parents and we are really having a wonderful time, but I think we may need to find something. Micah is just fine here though. I think he really likes it. He loves to stay up with my mom and I to play board games anddrink hot tea. We'll probably all cry when we get our own place. And it'll probably be only a mile away. ha!

I guessthis is justa catch up post. Nothing great going on. Just life.
