New Blog!

I've started a new blog. There are several people who have told me they visited my blog with much disappointment since I haven't posted in like....well, a while.

You can visit busy ems family dot blogspot dot com....except with NO spaces in between.

Skating on Thin Ice!

Yesterday we went over to Nana & Papa's house for a BBQ. The kids saw their pond was frozen over and thought they would be daring and test the waters...Garrett first (of course) then all followed suit. Phone in hand...I allowed them their freedom but I was prepared to call 911 nevertheless. What a bad Mom! I did get a little giggle when they...thinking they were invincible...fell down. It was all good until they started throwing huge rocks to crack the ice...GAME OVER.

Who's the leader of the band?

Critter found Garrett's ears from last March. Critter put them on, came into my room and begged me to take he and Sarah to Disneyland. He forgot he had them on and Mom thought it was too cute. I had to take the opportunity to photograph this Mickey Mouse moment.

So where do I sleep?

Yes, I get that little sliver of bed just to the left!

Game On

Today is Super Bowl Sunday and we have had a blast. The Cardinals may have lost but there was no short supply of team spirit and good old fashioned team rivalry.

Saturday

Friday Night

After we picked the Hansen's up from the airport, we went to Denny's for dinner and then home to play some poker. The kids fell asleep and looked oh so cute!

Hansen's...The Pick Up

Rick, Jenny and Michelle arrived in Missoula on Friday night. Safe and sound, we are so happy to have our friends here.

California Speed

My friend Ali taught me a new card game and now I am totally addicted. I am undefeated against 4 different players. I have become insanely competitive with this stupid game, I almost broke my hand.....while gloating, of course.

If you pause my blog music, you can get the full effect of the video! Anyone want to play me??? :)

Yes, I do!

Ok, I had to put this picture on here just for the heck of it. Garrett loves this shirt. I bought it for him at Kohl's and he's super proud to wear it...the cool thing is that none of his friends give him heck for wearing it. I think that's just because they do know that...I ROCK. kidding, but funny! :)

Totally Random

So, I know this is a totally random picture but I haven't taken any good pictures lately and want to keep up with the postings. Here's a recap of my week.....

*Worked...alot
*Swimming lessons, basketball practice, play practice, Cub Scouts
*Critter was invited into the Spectra (gifted) math program
*I work at the Red Door tomorrow
*Made my Mommy happy by going to the Doctor for a complete check up! I was tired of hearing her tell me (for the last few years) how I don't take care of myself...I just don't have time!

Next week will be busy too...Rick and Jenny are coming to play! :)

EMT Basic Refresher...Already!

I just can't believe that I've had my license long enough to have to renew it. That's so crazy. This was a super fun weekend of learning new things and refreshing things we don't get to do all the time. I sure do like my job.....and most of the people I work with. Enjoy the pictures, I promise that I DO take my job seriously.
