Jimmy Surgery

New Years Eve found us in the emergency with Jimmy. One of his 'manly parts' was very swollen. He told us it happens every once in a while, but that it hurt more then usual this time. hello! So Off to emergency we went. the doc decided it was a testicle hernia. everyone say ouch! It took a while for the specialist and the insurance people to come together, but today we had his surgery. It went well. The Doc said it was thicker then he was expecting, meaning Jimmy had it for a very long time. But all is well. They were wonderful there at Cardin's. They tried really hard to make it special for him. He got to decorate his own mask and add Yummy smells to it. he got a cool surgery hat to keep as well. He has an incision about 2 inches long right above his left 'personal area'. He is doing good. We are so thankful for the Doctors, the medications, and for our Heavenly Father and his blessings on our family.

Mystery Valentine Dinner

I love Holidays and it seems lately I have let life get in the way of fun! How can that be?! So I found this idea online (love stalking other blogs!) and I thought that it sounded way too fun to let it go. and it was! I thought about fun food my kids would eat, and then I created silly valentine names for them. I gave the kids the menus with the silly names and let them write down their 'order'. then of to the kitchen i went to fill the orders. the fun thing was they were also ordering utensils as well! So Lizzie's first course was melted hearts, big balls of love, and puppy love. (pink pudding, meatballs, and hot dog) she didnt order the spoon so she had to figure out another way to eat. Poor daddy, who came home really hungry ordered for his first course, cupids catch, heart breaker and snuggly. he got chicken on a stick, knife and napkin. In the end everyone ended up with everything, just in different combinations. It was fun and they had a blast. I am so gonna do this again and not wait for a holiday next time!

The perfect shade of Rose

I found the perfect color lipstick for me! it went with everything and looked great. The only problem? Jo Liked it too. I might have to rethink that 'long wearing' brand.
