So this last little while with my family is:
Kelton got to go to the Dr. and get his ear checked and it is healing nicely. He had a ruptured ear drum and it was really sad. The Dr. said if he get sick at all we should go take him in since he has such narrow ear canals, poor kid.
John went to the Dr. this week for his back. He has been having intense upper back pain and the knot is slowly working it's way out. Today he feels better then he has in a week and a half. Since our mattress was kinda crappy we decided to buy a new one and I added a new frame in there too :) I have never bought a bed before and it was lots of fun.
Having John out of commission was really awful, especially trying to move a bed without him. I am really grateful he is getting better.
Kelton is growing and learning so much. Lately, at night I lay out his clothes for him so he can dress himself in the mornings. It is so cute to see him cry and whine about every piece of clothing he has to put on in the morning but it is worth it when he has that satisfied grin on his face after. After playing late in grandma's sprinklers this week I didn't have time to layout clothes, it was just straight to bed. In the morning after I got out of the shower Kelton was awake running around the house with his sword in his muddy shirt and pants from the day before and it really was sad to make him take them off and put on new ones.
I got promoted at work this month. I have been making a lot of changes in my company to create order and clarity for everyone. I guess the CEO noticed and after months of me working hard and showing up with lists of things to do to improve my department and employee task tracking. It is nice to be a Manager now but also a little stressful. Before I got promoted it was like I was doing extra, now it seems like, am I doing enough? Another strange thing is I seem to want to be in dress up clothes all the time because I always have some board meeting at the GL Foundation or what if I am introduced as a manager to a client, or what if I have to meet with my personal clients? I miss not caring if I am just in a hoodie or if my pink hair is touched up.
Last night John asked me what my most favorite 3 things were that I did in 2007. I would have to say my number one was Going to Alaska with John And hanging out with Jessie, Sarah, Maya, Sophie and Mom. Seeing Sophie get born was crazy awesome. Second would have to be going up to Portland and seeing Preston and Holly and going to an Alias concert and meeting him (I walked down the isle to an Alias song). Third is last summer when John and I went to Fish lake with his socially challenged dad and ended up getting ditched so I just hung with John in the lake jumping off little cliffs and floating on tubes till it was almost dark.
I am pretty excited about this year so far. Especial the rally we are gonna have at Moon Lake!

Wow, what a blog. I am getting really pumped about Moon Lake too, it's interesting that Melinda's wedding is still in the foreground but I am thinking about Moon Lake. I guess having extended family members coming kind of all blends into one big event.
Congrats on the promotion Mimi. We really enjoyed you guys coming to visit last summer and hope that you can come again in the not-too-distant future. You could bring Kelton and I could take some time off from work. We had a really good time while you were here, but there's plenty more fun too be had.
You know, my new job has had the weird dress-up effect on me too- I think I'm starting to calm down a little bit, but I know just what you mean. Suddenly I have a lot of shirts with buttons and collars, and I've done more ironing since I started this job than I have in my entire life.
Have a happy mother's day- I know that Moon Lake will be toping the list of this years fun times for all of us.
2 things:
I'm going through dental floss like a mad man.
I know how to spell topping
I know how to spell especially!
