They're Here!

Look at those babies... with their little bums...

6 adorable kittens born Friday morning starting at 7am. She came into the house to get her usual morning cream but ran straight under the bed. When I checked for her, her stomach was heaving up and down really hard. I pretty much knew right away that she was in labor. Got her in her box filled with blankets and 15 min. later the first one was born. Within the hour she had three. By noon three more. Whew! She was tired and so was I. Number three and four she didn't take to right away, so I was the one rubbing them clean and getting them to "root" with the mama. Call me the "feline mid-wife"! She took care of them really well for 24 hrs. Sat. morning she was out of the box and didn't want to go back. She didn't feel well you could just tell, Who really would after delivering six babaies? After about three hours Kenzi and I were worried about the babies being hungry. We checked the internet and it said if she didn't go back to the box on her own, put her in and praise her. Well that worked. We talked and talked to that cat, told her she was a good mommy kitty and so on. She loved all the attention and now she hasn't left the box for two days. I take her her food and cream and those babies and her are happy as clams. They are getting bigger and they are cute and tiny. We will keep probably two and one more has been claimed. We will let them go at 8 weeks. So Friday May 13th may be unlucky for some but for this mama, it was all good.

My Kitty's Prego

Here she is in all her glory. Boom Boom's gonna be a mama. I don't know how far along she is but she gets bigger and bigger every day. We usually spay our animals as soon as we can but not this one waited alittle too long. Keep you updated.

Look at that fat belly.

My Sister Said...

When are you going to update your blog? She reads all my friends and says that I'm falling behind. Which I am. So here goes.
We had a great Easter. All the kids came home and we ate of course and everyone had Easter baskets of course. It was a horrible, windy day but a great day for flying kites. The boys all got a kite in their baskets!

Kenzi got Cam's kite stuck in the tree so he's climbing up to get it.

Ez and Laisa dinking around. It was so windy it blew everybody away.

Kenzi and Cam trying to fly their kite.
We played games all day and sat around the fire and watched movies. It was a fun day to re-connect with everyone.
Brooke and Colton are doing great in ND. Surviving the below freezing conditions but temperatures are climbing... Kenzi is still working and going to school learning great stuff to cook, love it when she comes home always has great receipes and Ez is now finance manager in St. George AND he came home tanner than me! What? It's true. He froze the whole time here. Poor boy. It was a fun weekend.
They all felt like they were posing for prom. They're hammin' it up. Arn't they all cute?

My lil darlins...

Lazy Day

We All Have Our Moments

One of things I love about blogging is that it gives me a chance to write down thoughts or "journal" that I wouldn't usually do. I guess I blog for a couple of reasons:
1. To get things off my mind
2. To let others know what's going on in my family
3. It's a creative outlet
4. Helps me stay savvy on the computer, which I am not good at...
I have decided that I'm definitely ready for spring and I want the sun to stay out! I really feel better in warmer weather and it keeps me motivated to keep exercising.
I know that we all have our trials and at times we sometimes feel like we're the only ones who have struggles and everything seems like it's uphill ALL THE TIME!...
I found this you tube today and everything that I was on my pitty potty about seemed to have disappeared after I saw this. What a cute woman and lots of inspiration.

( don't know why my links don't highlight anymore... Anyone know?) Anyhooo... Kenzi was home for the weekend and we baked of course, she made a Starbucks pound cake, all the ingriedients measured in at a whopping pound! A pound of butter a pound of sugar, etc. A total of 9,000 calories, thats right no typo, aaahhh! But it was yummy, sent most of it home with her. She has great stories from work and is loving going to school learning how to cook and bake. She's hilarious. Brooke and Colton are trying to stay warm and Ez is burning up at 70 degree weather. He's lovin' life there in SG. I think everyone will be home for Easter and that I'm looking forward too.
This is where I used to hang out in high school and take my kids when they were little babies. Avila Beach. Many great memories. This is what I'm missing. Hope to get there before next fall...

We Are the "Housewives of Heyburn"

Isn't this the funnest picture ever? We are gearing up and getting ready for the biggest race of our lifetimes. Well at least my lifetime... LOL. 60 miles. We start at the elementary school in Stanley travel over Galena Summit and end up in Sun Valley. These are dedicated women who love life, their families, who are health conscience and want to make a difference.

We met with our fab photographer Emily on Friday afternoon during a pretty big snow storm. She had this great idea to go out to the dock. Paul trucked the cool chair out thru the backyard to the dock and if you notice no footprints in front of us. She had him walk on the side of the dock, put the chair in the middle and we carefully walked as to make the snow look perfect without any tracks. So cool.

Erin, Jackie, Britanni, Myself, Elise and Renee.
I love these women. I almost can't type because of tears in my eyes. They are inspiring and I just love em! We are the "Housewives of Heyburn!"
