Janu-blah-ry

Yes, we decided to join the trend of sickies... And I say sick babies not baby because pretty much all of us are sick & afflicted & haven't been out of pajamas much. Even Zoey isn't doing too hot.

Livi got a cold on New Years & decided to share with Micah & I. Either that or we got sick & shared it with her. Blah. Both ways suck. She had a funky wet cough (not croupy thank goodness) and had to be deep suctioned out at her doc's office. FYI if you're in the Herriman/Riverton/south Jordan area you should go to Southpoint Pediatrics. Olive's doctor Dr. Duffy is amazing, seriously so good. And I'm super picky because I worked in peds as an M.A. For 3 years. Anyway, my little bird has an ear infection.  :(


I'm a mean mommy & document her torture. 

Zoey is not doing so hot because she decided to take on a whole herd of deer. Yep, no joke. 

I was painting my chalkboard art in the basement & had the door open so as to not asphyxiate myself.. When Zo thought she needed to protect me & chased after the local deer herd that always creeps around in my backyard. She was doing a good job defending me until a buck charged at her & literally ran her over, jumping ontop of her. :( she got a pretty decent cut on her left knee (either from a rock or the deer's hooves) and all of her paws were bloody. :( I felt so bad! Poor thing was like totally unaffected by it til she tried to lay down... Needless to say, she slept on the bed with us that night. 


My brave little defender resting on "her" boppy. Stinker. 


Some more blah news: we sold my mini. :/ it's good and sad at the same time. Good to obviously pay off our remaining debt on it, but sad because I loved it! 


Last twerk goodbye ;)

Carmax surprisingly enough was a better option than ksl. We even took our bill of sale to low book sales & they cut us a $250 check because they advertise they'll beat any dealer's offer but they couldn't match Carmax's.  :)  win-win for us!

So the new mommy ride is the jeep, my snow leopard. I pulled my "I <3 Moab" sticker off of my mini and put it on my new ride. 

Micah is on the hunt now for a good commuter car.... Fingers crossed we find something!

  1. Sad.. but glad we got to have at least one ride in the "mini." Too bad i sold my mazda that was only a few years old to a friend for dirt cheap… it was an amazing commuter car… i sometimes wish i still kept it or sold it for way… more, but glad i could help some friends out that ReAlLy needed a car. You will rock the jeep!
