ok so another update sorry no pics i keep forgetting them.

Ok so hmmm. quick update. We still don't have internet. lol. we'll start with kurtis

Kurtis has lost somewhere around 35 lbs on our diet which offically ends saturday Yay. although we're not really offically going off of it for a while more. He is playing softball monday nights and occationally a volleyball game when a friend needs a sub on thurdsays. Work is in full swing for him and he comes home all nice and muddy everyday. He has declared war on a stump in our back yard. I personally think the stump is winning but he is convinced its not. he spend well all of saturday trying to get it out and it is still there. Though he tells me with a sharpened axe he thinks it will come out in about an hour... we shall see tonight. His knee is healing up but he has some nasty lumps in it left over from the fluid and such. Other than that he's great.

Kyler- well kyler is almost 2 enjoys playing with the dog pushing poor ninja to his limit. he loves everything cars now and nemo. He has just started saying "how bout" and then something other than you say. He loves being outside as do i but we only have intermitten days right now the rain has been crazy weird here lately. so were praying for sun. he pretty much can identify and say any letter in the alphabete but doesn't know his abc's just yet the song anyway. still not potty trained i gave up after ninja became potty trained again. he likes to help clean and pick weeds even though they may not be weeds. Last year kurtis weedeated my decorative grass and this year kyler pulled it up. so i guess its jsut not supposed to be there.

The big news on kyler is that for the last month he has had a runny snotty nose or rather nostril and we have been to the doctor and has bunch of different ideas about what it is. I took him in a little over a month ago thinking that the really stinky breath that it caused was probably strep. but no the doctor said its probably a cold and the mucas was causing the smell if it didn't go away in a week to call and they would give some meds because it was probably a sinus infection. After a week of the amoxicillen for a sinus infection and week 3 of the sickness we decided it might be allergies so the we called the doctor again and he said to go get claritin for kids and give him that once a day. After a few days of that we figured that wasn't the cause as it did absolulty nothing. so then end of that week we were talking with Janet kurtis' mom and she happend to remember that her sister stuck a bean up her nose as a kid and that it smelled really bad. We decided that was probably it so decided we would take him to the doctor on monday as it was saturday night. Sunday i looked up what you can do for something stuck up a kids nose and found that you can manually blow there nose for them so kurtis blew i held and covered his ears and janet was the offical tissue holder. when we blew his nose i about puked the mucus smelled about like a rotting fish or deer or something like that. I'm just glad kurtis blew because if i had done it i would have thrown up in kylers mouth or somthing i know it.

anyway monday came on week 4 of this sickenss and we took him to the doctor. to make a longer story short the doctor pulled out a piece of batting material out of his nose about as long as my pinky. Bleah but that immediatly stopped the really stinky breath that could knock you out from about 5 ft away and he is now almost done with his meds to clean up any leftover infection. just in time for aunt kimly's wedding on saturday. THE JOYS OF HAVING KIDS

now Me- i've offically lost 11 lbs but am bloated this week so i hope next week i'll have lost 2lbs without doing anything lol. i can again fit into my prebaby clothes for the most part except for some shirts as my boobs are still quite a bit bigger then they ever used to be. i jsut got some stuff for my garden mostly herbs, garlic, thyme, tomatoes, and i bought a few fun things like tigerlilies and bamboo. We've been getting our yard all nice for summer. I dream about having a backyard bbq with friends but it still hasn't happened yet. i just need to plan it. Done shopping for kyler bday just have to wrap everything. My purse business i'm hoping will get even more off the ground next month when i join the local farmers market. I've got 4 more purses to finish and i'll have 24 for the market. I've already sold around 10. i've become pretty much a full time crafter lol. other than that not much is up. just enjoing my family and our new pet .

Hope all is well witheveryone. Love ya
