boys sleepover & stuff

Last night the boys decided to have sleepovers in each others rooms. They decided Caleb & Kody should sleep by each other since they look the most alike & Camden & Keaton should since they look the most alike. Camden made a bed for Keaton on the floor. Kody was too hyper & didn't last long in Caleb's room.

Another Jason Birthday post...

Caleb set the alarm for 7am on a Saturday so he could get up and get this party started.  He made the cake, blew up tons of balloons (badaloons is how Keaton says it) & decorated like crazy!  Camden helped with breakfast.  It was a group effort & now it's over.  Jason went to get his brother so they can work on his truck in the garage for the rest of the day!  I'm going to order Jason his favorite chicken fried steak & biscuits & gravy from Sill's Cafe & that's it.  I'm way more needy than Jason on my birthday. 

HAPPY 34TH BIRTHDAY TO JASON

A special shout out goes to Keaton for being the only child to fully cooperate and answer all the questions.

I looked through the Yancey photo archives & found all of these pictures of Jason.  Some old & some new, in no specific order.  We love you!

While looking through the pictures I found this picture & it made me laugh because it was taken a few days after I got my tummy tuck.  I was all drugged up on pain medication & couldn't stand up straight yet.  It actually took me about 2 months to be able to stand up straight.

watch out!

I might turn into a crazy lady in the next month!  This is also way too much info but you know I like to share stuff so here you go.  I just think I need to warn anyone that I might come into contact with in the next month because my hormones are getting a kick in the butt.  I've basically been having a period for the past THREE freaking weeks & it hasn't been light, if ya know what I mean.  I went to the doctor where I felt like I got violated.  I really don't like going to this type of doctor.  He had to take a sample of my uterus & he's testing some other things.  Luckily the ultrasound didn't show anything weird so he said it's likely a hormone thing.  I've always HATED birth control but he suggested I give it a try.  He has me on a double dose of birth control for one month & then a regular dose for two months.  I'm willing to try anything to get this to STOP.  I told him surgery does not scare me & that I'm ready for a hysterectomy.  I'm ready to take drastic measures because my body is freaking out.  That's all.  Thanks for listening to me complain. 

I Search Projects

Camden wanted to find a way to make crystals.  He used alum (spice section) & grew some cool crystals!

 Caleb's project was to find out how touch screens work.  Caleb was EXCITED & nervous for the I Search project fair.  A mixture of excitement & nerves brings out an interesting side of Caleb.  I'll leave it at that!  I LOVE how he wanted people to leave comments.

 He was so proud of his project.  He hung the iPad from it so people could test it out.  Of course I forgot my camera!  Jason took these pics from his phone.  Note to self... Do NOT put Jason in charge of taking the pictures!

Kody & Mom

 

Thanks to Caleb for taking pics of us!  The bottom picture is our reenactment of the famous You Tube hit "Charly bit my finger".  Kody loves it.  I've been a little obsessed with the Shaytards on You Tube.  At first I was put off by the name because I thought they were saying Shaytards as in retards & retard is not my favorite word but then somehow I got hooked.  They do a daily vlog.  I look forward to getting in bed at night, turning on the iPad & checking out what the Shaytards have been up to.  They really should have used a different name.  I did find out they are Mormons so this made it even more intriguing for me to watch.  They are obnoxious but so am I.  It's fun to see what they are up to.  I'm off to get Keaton ready for his third girl birthday party this week.  Jason said "Keaton you got another invitation for a party" & Keaton responded with "Yeah they are my girls.  I like 'em".

It's cold outside!

It's cold so we've been snacking on Cheetos & sharing them with the neighborhood kids.  I really love this neighborhood.  We are not sure that we want to move anymore.  We went through a little phase last fall where I felt like I wanted to move to the area I grew up in & then we thought about moving to Kamas, but now we are back to not moving.  We are weird!  We are the people that one day don't ever want a dog & then the next day we buy a big, black hairy dog.  I like us & the way we do things.  Life would be boring if it was so predictable & planned.  I'm happy that we are mostly spontaneous with a touch of organization going on.

We've been baking & eating more cookies than is healthy. Caleb needs more fat on his body to keep him warm so it's o.k that he does most of the cookie eating.  The above pictured cookie is actually from Mrs. Fields.  I met my BFFs @ South Towne Mall today. Fun little place to play with the kids on a cold day!  Kody terrorized a few kids but I sat away from him & pretended he wasn't mine so I didn't have to deal with it.  Really I did this!  I'm a really good mom!

We've all been playing on the computer, iPad, iTouches & nintendo!  I said I would never ever let my kids play games all day long.  It's so cold outside though!  They still play, read, wrestle & all that good stuff, but games are now a part of the Yancey family!

I've been prepping the office so I can paint it.  Someone is sneaking in the office & pulling off my tape!  If only I could just finish.  It did take me an entire year to finally finish paining the laundry room apple green!  I do love my apple green in the laundry room.  It makes it a happy place for me to be.  I actually don't mind laundry all that much anymore.  OH & I have figured out laundry.  I might have already blogged this but this is what I do... I do NOT pull a load out of the dryer unless I'm ready/ in the mood to fold it & put it all away!  In the past I would do laundry all day & pile it on my bed to only be too tired to put it away at the end of the day, so it would then go on the floor.  It would put me in a depression & then the entire house would fall apart.  Finally I have this figured out!  So simple.  Hallelujah!  Dare I say that laundry is now my friend?!
