Birthdays and Grandparents

While we were not here, we celebrated Kyla's 4th and Breven's 2nd Birthday. Both sets of grandparents were here along with Brie! It was a lot of fun and it looked like christmas. My kids are so spoiled. Mom and Dad Bassett got to spend a week (almost) with us and we loved having them here! We went lots of places, sea world, swimming in a river, River walk, and the temple. I wish they could have stayed, we miss them. Unfortunatly we don't have a lot of pictures :( But we do have some
Kyla loves her tumb way to much!

Back Again

Wow, NEVER EVER EVER click on something called Malware Protector It takes over your computer. Actually we didn't click on it, it came from an advertisement that somebody clicked on. and i am not naming names. It comes on and tells you you have spyware on your computer then shuts your computer down to a blue screen with a big yellow warning sign. From then on you can only use your computer for about 5 minutes before it shuts down agan. i Repeat DO NOT TOUCH. After clicking on it the first time, ( not knowing what it was) it spread and hit it's self in 6 different places on our computer. We can't get rid of it.

...and I woke up running

Last night, in the middle of the night, I woke up to find myself running out of my bedroom door. I don't remember getting out of bed, and didn't know why I was running. Until I heard Breven crying. I could tell he was hurt and tried to stop at his door but I was hit from behind by Andrew who was also running. I followed Andrew into Breven's room to find him on the floor crying. It was dark and so I didn't know he had cut his head on something, until I found dried blood on his head this morning. He is fine, and the cut was small. I have no idea how he hurt himself as the bed is only 6 inches off the ground, and all his toys were put away. He doesn't fall off his bed despite the fact that he doesn't have guard rails on the side. I guess it will remain a mystery.
What a weird night.

Flood, paints, coolwhip, and birds

The other day I asked Kyla to go put her shoes in the garage. A couple seconds later Kyla yells I can't mom, there is a river in the garage! I go running out and sure enough, there is a river in our garage. I had put a load of laundry into our washer and left it, as usual. 3 1/2 hours later I find water poring down our driveway. Come to find out, a mouse (yuck! I hate mice) chewed a hole in our draining hose, our pressure hose, and the hose that fills up our washer. It was the pressure hose that caused the flood. It wouldn't stop filling up and kept over flowing. Now our washer was under warranty, but the warranty doesn't cover mice. So we are out of a washer for a week and a half. Andrew has really stepped up and reverted back to his missionary days. He has been washing laundry in out tub for us, and thankfully we have a great friend Janine who lets us use her washer. I never knew I had so much laundry.

Kyla is into painting these days and when ever she gets to pick out a toy, she usually picks out a paint set. She is getting good at staying in the lines.

Breven, my boy, found the cool whip tub, and as you can see....he enjoyed it.

And lastly we have a baby bird's nest above our front door. I thought it was really cute at first, and fun to see the birds building their nest. Now, however, it has baby birds in it and we get dive bombed every time we step out the front door. Also whenever we have visitors, Like i did today for lunch group, they also duck their heads till we open the door then come running in with a bird chasing them. Here are some picture of the little birds, Andrew was the brave one to risk the wrath of the birds to get the pictures

am i dumb?

So I have set up our blog, unfortunately I am not so computer smart. At the time I set up our blog I only knew Ken and Shelly's blog address, so that is the only one i entered. I bet they feel special since they are the only link on our page. Well....now I have tried to set up more links ( so I don't have to keep going to other people's pages to look at my friends/family's blog ) but I can't seem to figure it out. Am I able to squeeze pity from anyone, and maybe you could tell me how to do it ( preferably without to much harassment ) ;). I thank any advice in advance, you would truly be my knights in shinning armor.......well I would at least be grateful.
(Oh and by the way, does anyone else think that making all single "i" or "I" capital is just a pain, I know i am silly but I always forget and have to go back thru my entire letter and fix them all... oh and thank heaven for spell checking)

Crazy mothers day

So we had a crazy weekend. First of all we headed over to Sugarland to visit Andrew's parents for mothers day. On the way there, friday night at about 1:30 - 2:00 a.m., I was passing a mustang in the left side lane, and as i got up to him we saw in our head lights an allegator in the road. This thing was huge!! it's nose was in our lane ( the left side ) and stretched all the way across the right lane with it's tail in the grass off the shoulder of the road. Huge. the mustang hit it head on going about oh..75 mph and jumped the allegator, went airborne, flipped the thing up and into our lane just missing our new van. crazy. Sorry to say we don't know what happened after that, by the time we had room to pull over ( as there was no room on the left shoulder ) we were a couple miles past the scene of the accident.
The next crazy thing is Breven, poor guy, fell into grandma's pool, really scarry for us as he never struggled or anything to get out, just layed there face down in the pool till we got him out.

Also that weekend we went fishing, and took some pictures in a field of yellow flowers. It was a lot of fun.
hope ya'll had a wonderful weekend

our new car

I was walking through the kitchen the other day and i came upon the cutest thing. Breven was playing in the side walk chalk outside and apparently walked through it then came inside. So i had to take a picture.

so we have a new car. Our old car our white buick regal, was going to die. So we went to buy a new car, and low and behold, we now have a new 2007 dodge grand caravan. It's red. My two favorite features are the fold away seats, and my remote control entry. It is so fun to push a button and have the doors open. here is a picture of our new wheels. Oh and notice my little modle who is showing the car to you. Kyla loves the car to.
