insane couple of weeks

so this time of the year is crazy at our house.  we have our anniversary on the 17th, addy's birthday on the 25th, and kasen's birthday is on march 5th.  well this year jared planned a sweet trip for us to yellowstone where we went snowmobiling.

2/13/11 to 2/20/11   i came down with a pretty bad cold on sunday february 13.  it laid me out for most of the week including valentine's day and our anniversary.  i finally went to the doctor on the 17th because we were leaving for yellowstone the next day.  i was pretty sure i had a full blown sinus infection but i also had a ear infection.  the problem with being down during this week was that i was in the process of fixing up addy and lily's bedroom for their birthday.  we went on our trip which was awesome!!!  and i got better due to taking an antibiotic twice a day for ten days.  oh yeah and jared had a big calculus test on friday, also.

2/21/11 to 2/27/11   well this week started with president's day which the kids had off.  because i was down all last week i really needed to get going on the bedroom, not to mention get out invites for addy's party and get that all planned.  i painted on monday, tuesday, and wednesday.  on wednesday we ripped out the old carpet and prepped the floors for new carpet.  thursday the carpet came.  friday we took addy out to lunch for her birthday and finished running the errands for her party.  saturday we spent all day setting up their new beds, changing out plugs, putting the closet and doors back together, putting up the blinds and getting it ready for them to sleep in their new beds for the first night.  jared also had another big test in statics this week.

2/28/11 to 3/5/11   this week is just as exciting because kasen's birthday is on saturday march 5th.  he is turning eight and will be baptized on his birthday.  i feel bad because i haven't gotten invites out for his baptism or even gotten any of his birthday shopping done yet.  he needs the patches sewn onto his new scout shirt, new scriptures, baptism clothes all put together, and birthday presents bought.  let alone getting jared's stuff together, getting food planned, somehow letting everyone know about the baptism (everyone, except brady and laurel (sorry), knows it is this saturday but i have not officially sent anything and i need to get the address to them), get the house cleaned, and everything else that goes along with a baptism.  oh and one more thing jared probably has another calc test on friday again.

although these few weeks have been quite eventful, i am really looking forward to getting back to normal sometime soon.

We have really got to get together and hang out! Our lives seem so similar!!
I want to see some pictures of the girls' room!!
If you need help or want to bring the kids over to play let me know! Maybe that will give you a break to get some things done. :)

You weren't kidding when you said you had a busy week ahead. Can I help you? If it makes you feel any better, I think that baptism invitations are over-rated. We've always just gone the email/phone call route. Nate talked me into it when I was feeling stressed about getting everything done before Ben's baptism and I've become a big fan. :)
BTW, I took a little gift to Angie today so if Sister Neeley calls you can tell her we are 2/3 (assuming you've had a heart to heart with Amanda B in the last few weeks).

Oh my goodness! You have been so busy. Sorry about being sick that is something moms never need. Thought about Addy on her birthday, we miss you guys so much. How exciting for Kasen. I am sad we won't be there. Good luck with everything. Oh and just so you have it:
