Bittersweet Pictures
Our Terrabyte External Hard drive is Full! Yes FULL of 8 years of photos and other important docs. A lot of the photos got saves in 2 locations on the hard drive so we have been going through and deleted dupes and unimportant stuff. WOW it has been a walk down memory lane and man alive my kids have grown up :(

And the Sun came out!
Monday was hard. DANG hard. After a morning of really struggling and I finally was able to pick myself up, say "oh well" to the gas money that would be spent and I headed up to the zoo with the kids. I have a free season pass to the zoo so I figured I would use it.
We headed out the door and although we didn't have long at the zoo, it was fun! I loved the new Rocky Pointe with all the bears as well as seals and sea lions. It was fun to see the new area.
The weather was PERFECT for the zoo. Seriously, PERFECT! It was warm but not hot and it was sunny. We laughed and giggled as we watched the grizzly bears play with each other and the kids of course loved watching baby Zuri (the elephant). Lyse was DYING to get to the reptile house to see the snakes (where did I get this kid from?) and well we were just happy to be out and enjoying it all!

Monday night I told Dustin that I needed help digging a hole in the backyard for a fire pit. While we were at the zoo, Blue Stakes had come so I was able to legally dig my hole. I went out and started it with him and showed him how. After a few minutes, I went back in the house. Jana came and got him and he was like, "tomorrow we will finish that". I laughed a little to myself cause I was thinking, "That is a big hole we have to dig still dude!"
Tuesday was a hodge podge day but when I finally got back home around 5:45 in the evening, Dustin was with me and ready to dig that hole. Dig he did! I went out and helped along the edges but man alive that kids is strong and a good solid worker! He got the hole dug and we put the rocks around the edge. We had a fire pit (I honestly thought it would take a few more days!!).
My goal in this pit was to do it without Ben. Ben and I went to the home depot and used a gift card we had there and bought a $4 bag of gravel for the bottom of the pit. Ben carried that out to the car. That was the extent of lifting Ben was required to do in this project! I even carried the 60 lb bag from the car to the back yard and put it in the pit!
It was soooo peaceful last night sitting out there enjoying the fire pit. It isn't a fancy pit but it is awesome! It provides exactly what I wanted back there. We had several neighbors stop by for a few minutes and come talk to us. It was GREAT!
Now for the pictures...cause I am sure that is what you are wanting to really see!

A week of unplanned
More unplanned adventures occurred today when I suddenly got the flu. SUPER Sick :( Ended up with extreme pain in my stomach region. Went to the ER via ambulance after calling my neighbor who is a nurse. She came and saw me and was like, "um 911 is needed".
Low White Blood Cell count - AGAIN!
I don't know why that makes my stomach feel like it is going to explode and take my lungs with it! OUCH! Spent 5 hours in the er and might be in there again if the pain doesn't go away again.
The above pictures are from my hospital room. I was supposed to be getting an IV, instead I ended up giving my blood...enough that it went all the way up into the bag and started to fill the bag! Oh joy.
They made me hang out at the hospital for a LONG time due to low blood pressure and low white blood cell count. I just keep praying that I can start feeling better. I feel like CRAP right now.
Last night at this time, I just had a little headache but that was it. By 10 pm I had the full on flu. How does it hit soooooo fast?
Well this little set back just made my work week shorter and not as much money :(. It also created a few bills that were completely unplanned!
