Will we ever not be sick??

I think this is only like the first or second time I've ever done a post without pictures. However, we haven't done anything exciting to take pictures of in a very long time. Like everyone else, I feel like we have been horribly sick since November. Over the last two weeks we have been to the Dr. so many times we should get some kind of frequent flyer discount. Tate ended up with bronchitis. Haylie got that crazy fever that's been going around. She had a fever of 104 off and on for almost a week, then ended up with a horrific ear infection. Kalun also got a horrible cold. Amazingly, with very little sleep for a week and a half while tending to all the sickies, I seem to have made it through with only a little sore throat that only lasted a couple days and extreme exhaustion. Hopefully, we are all on the mend for awhile. I usually love winter, I love snow. But, I think this is the first winter I remember that I have wanted to end!! Hope all the rest of you are surviving!

Kalun is a Big 3-0!

Kalun is now a big 3-0!! Of course for all of you that know the joke we are not sure if he turned 30 on the 1st or 2nd but nonetheless he is 30. So I thought I'd take a moment and brag about how awesome Kalun is. I am so grateful that Kalun is my husband. He takes such good care of me. He is also such an amazing dad. He loves being with his kids. Both kids have a laugh I refer to as the "dad laugh" because no one can make them laugh like their daddy. He is such a hard worker. He is very dedicated to his job and will do whatever it takes to get the job done. He has a strong testimony. He is also one of the most service oriented people I have ever met. He will never say no when someone needs help. He is a good friend to everyone. I don't think I know anyone who has more friends than Kalun. We cannot go anywhere without running into someone he knows. Kalun, thanks for being the person you are and for always striving to be even better. I love you, Happy Birthday!!





Okay, I'm not usually a mushy person, so moving on...We had a busy couple days around his birthday(s). Sunday the 1st (which is probably his real b-day, but not the one he grew up celebrating) he got to watch the super bowl at his friends house. That is pretty much a win win for a birthday for Kalun since he loves football and good food. On the 2nd, he worked all day but we squoze in a movie. We went to the dollar theater and saw Madagascar 2. On the 3rd we had a big party at classic skating. Not many people know that Kalun is a roller blader. He has loved skating for years. He used to skate around the neighborhood with his dog pulling him. So, he's actually really good. I on the other hand went old school and skated. I volunteered to push Haylie in the stroller most of the time because at the beginning I let Kalun take her and I fell really hard on my butt, so I opted for the stroller to hold on to. Tate had fun on his scooter with all the kids. We had a blast at the party. Kalun's mom even skated. We got to see a lot of people that we haven't seen for a long time. It was so fun to see everyone's kids having fun. Thanks to everyone who came and celebrated with us!!
