My Big 3-0

I had such a great birthday. I like to make a week-end out of my birthday and Ben is so good to go along with it. This year, I decided that I just wanted to get away. We ended up in Sandy, that's right, all the way to Sandy. We did a little shopping, eating, and swimming. The boys had so much fun, Boston was doing back dives into the water. Can you tell they couldn't wait to get in. We had so much fun.

On my actual birthday, I was feeling pretty good, I don't know what I was expecting, to just start falling apart I guess. But I went for a run, cleaned the house and was feeling pretty excited to be turning 30. I went shopping with my sister in laws, and was feeling pretty depressed that I couldn't find anything super cute to wear on my date with Ben that night. I decided that I was 30 now and should buy something totally out of my comfort zone and be more daring in my 30's. That is were the shoes come in. I think they are sooo cute. So I bought them and brought them home, started to get ready and put them on. Yep, that's when I decided they are not for me. I may be 30, but I'm still that same boring girl who sticks with the same old stuff that I liked in my 20's

Maybe when I'm 40, Ill be more daring!

Thanks everyone for the birthday wishes.

Bringing in the New Year

We had a pretty competitive game of bocce with the Crandall's

Accident waiting to happen

I know that you can not see this picture very well, just take my word, it was nasty.

As long as I have know Jae ( yep, his whole life 3 1/2 years) he is always getting hurt. I have decided it is because he is a Wright. I have so many memories of my brothers doing stupid tricks and dangerous stunts. It is just in his blood to go full throttle. He bumps his head all the time. My friend and I have a running joke about Jae bumping his head. It happens daily. If you have read my last few posts, you know that Jaegan dislocated his hip and burned his hands all in one week. I thought that I should maybe explain what happened.
Jaegan and Boston decided that they would jump from the top of our headboard onto the bed. ( My brothers use to jump off the roof of the house onto mattresses.) All was going well, we had not caught them yet, until Boston landed on Jae. We heard the blood curling scream and ran to it who had broken what. Jae, later told me that" his leg fell off and then popped back on". After a few hours he finally started walking on it again and all seemed well. Until recently, he will hurt it and cry a little, complaining his hip hurts. Hopefully this is not the start of a long road of hip problems.
His little hands were not a scary, we were looking a reindeer and it was freezing, there were fire pits around, and Jae just walked up to see what was in it and grabbed it. Burning both hands. A couple weeks later, they finally peeled and are back to normal.
Our latest accident, happened when he was being dropped off in our driveway. He opened the door and it just pulled him out, right onto his head. He hit landed right on his head. Giving himself road rash right on his noggin. He has a nice size bald spot and scab. Poor kid, he really needs a haircut, but cant really do anything until his head heals a little more. He bruised his elbow as well. I was talking to my brother and decided we need to just buy him a helmet and make him wear it daily.
Ill keep you posted, I'm sure we have not seen our last injury.

I found some

Christmas Time

A few of my favorite moments, or not so:

• We took like no pictures of Christmas. It is the one time a year we use our older than dirt video camera. I think we might have some pictures on our old camera, Ill have to look.
• We had a great time with the Bischoffs, they came from Chicago to visit their family, and we stole them for a while . We went to dinner and to see the Reindeer.
• Poor Jae had the worst week, dislocating his hip on Monday and burning his hands at the Reindeer on Friday
• We put our tree up the day after Thanksgiving and then it stayed bare until about a week before Christmas, when the boys finally talked us into putting bulbs on.
• I love Christmas Eve, The Poll family has a big party every year, BINGO, Dancing, food, seeing Becky, seeing family. Yeah, we didn't go this year. To much to do
• Going to my dad's, the little's put on a cute little skit and then Santa dropped off some early Christmas presents.

We really did have a lot of fun, and even though it sounds like I'm complaining, I love Christmas, my favorite part, is being with Ben, Boston and Jaegan. I love teaching the boys the true meaning of Christmas, and the Spirit that the holidays brings. I am so grateful for the time that Ben had off of school and all the time we got to spend together.

Ill have to look for more pictures, so this blog isn't so boring..
