Sorry for such a long post but like I said, I have a lot of bows!!!!!!!!!!!!

Great website

Ok so like everyone else I am looking to save a few dollars whenever I can on groceries. I found a website that takes all the work out of shopping for me (which I love because I don't like shopping).
Go to http://www.pinchingyourpennies.com/ this website does all the work for you. All you have to do is put in your zip code, pick the stores you shop at, and wha la...... all of the best deals are in red and they even tell you which coupons, where to find the coupon and how to use the coupon. Like I said it takes all the thinking out out what to buy. Every Wed. is when the stores change their ads and they are usually updated on Wed. if not the day before. I love it because I can then make a menu based on what is on sale. And it works in all the states and on military bases.

Any who...... go check it out, you'll love it.

Oh ya its FREE!!!!!!!!!!!!

It's done!!!

Well Brian is now offically Dr. Brian Muir. He has graduated and received his diploma and is offically done with school. Now starts the residency, the up side is now we get paid, the downside is he will be twice as busy as before which means we'll see him when we see him.

We just got back from our trip to Des Moines. We had a great time and saw a lot of old friends that we missed. We went to a nice banquet dinner and the Des Moines farmers market ( which is awesome) had some very yummy dinners, graduated, and just had a great time. We took Kate with us since she is still nursing and we traveled with my parents, they were a huge help with Kate. The boys got to stay in Idaho with my sister and show her just what she is in for if she has two more boys. I don't think she is going to try anytime soon. She was pretty tired when we got back. But everyone had fun and they were all still alive when we got back.

We got to see the Pettits and Comptons again and have dinner with them. It felt just like old times. I forgot my camera for a lot of things but my mom is going to email me the pictures she took so I can post more pictures later. I'l l post more later.

Update time!

Ok so here is what has been going on lately.



Our application for our house went through we are hoping to close on the 8th but it looks like the people moving haven't found a house yet so it might not be until the 20th. Hopefully things will work in our favor and I won't have to move without Brian's help.



Tyler just finished soccer he loved it but was exhausted every night after. We spent the last 4 1/2 years telling him to share and now we tell him to take the ball from other kids. Also I have to say how proud of Ty I am. When other kids around him are talking rudely or using inappropriate words, he stands up and tells them that those aren't nice words or nice things to say. I am so glad that he has the courage to do that. Even to the older kids.



Zane and the kittys have gotten better. He still doesn't like cats but now if he has a pretend gun he will at least try to go cat hunting. That seems to help with the anxiety. He isn't having as many nightmares either which is good for the sleep situation.



Kate is cutting her first two teeth and is very clingy and grumpy. She is getting very close to being weaned because she keeps biting her food source. But she is growing like crazy and still super cute so that makes up for the biting a little.



Brian is being kept busy by refinishing a dresser for me and playing with the kids. He just got back from taking the boys camping the kids had fun but no one slept because of our boys. They don't adjust well to new sleeping arrangements, especially camping. Brian will receive his Doctorate degree in 7 days and we are very excited.



I have been trying to get my house organized and ready for packing. I have also been making bows for ladies in our ward. I also have been trying with no luck to loss weight. After many blood tests later we have found that my hypothyroidism is under control, but that I am now pre-insulin resistant. Which means that My thyroid isn't the thing causing the problems but the insulin isn't bad enough yet to be put on medication. So I was basically told I just have to work two times harder than everyone else and if I'm lucky I might loss a little weight. This is very hard for me to swallow because I grew up very thin. To go from very thin to not thin and lumpy is not an easy thing to come to terms with. AS you can imagine I am not taking it well and unfortunately my comfort is food. I have been working very hard on this and Brian is very supportive and loving throughout this whole ordeal. I think this is one of those challenges the Lord gives us to see how we will handle it. So far not well but I am trying. I will keep exercising and eating well and the leaning on the Lord for the emotional and spiritual support I need.

Finally!!!!!!!

I can't be prouder of my wonderful husband. On the 23rd of this month, Brian will graduate from Des Moines University Medical School. It has been a very long eight years but worth every minute. It has been hard, fun, awful, great, and everyother word all rolled up into one. Brian has worked so hard and I know there were times he didn't want to but he did. He also gave up valuble study time to be with his family as well. Tyler and Zane think their daddy works at all doctor offices and hospitals because of all the rotations around town.

The next step is moving to Pocatello to start residency which will last three years. But at least we will now get paid for his work instead of paying the school. Residency will be hard and challenging but its a new step and a new adventure. In celebration of finishing rotations, Brian is as I type, playing Rock Band at my brother Dereks house. A favorite activity for both kids, sometimes its just hard to grow up, but they have both worked very hard to get to where they are so they deserve it.

Congrats Brian, I love you!

Big bad kittens

Sure these may look like sute little innocent kittys but to my two and a half year old, these are mean scary critters. Zane is scared of cats. Not just a little but to the upmost extreme. A cat brushed his leg last saturday, scared him to death (he didn't see it coming) and every night since then we have had to deal with cats coming to eat him. We haven't slept in nights. We have tried everything to convince him that there are no cats. We have now come to telling him that Brian is allergic to cats (which he is) and that we can't have cats in our house. We even asked him if he let the cats in the house. He'll say no I don't like cats and within minutes he's screaming again, terrified of the big bad kitty.

Anyone that has any experience in phobias with little kids, I would love some suggestions or advice. We are tired and will try anything.

Easter 2009

Easter this year was spent in Burley at Grandma Muir's house. We had two egg hunts, one on Sunday morning before church and then one later in the day with all the cousins. THe only people not there was Don, Holly's husband and Becky and her kids. It was a nice relaxing weekend. Brian recreated the traditional bunny cake that Great grandma Muir used to make every Easter. I was very proud of him, he did it all by himself. The kids loved it and it tasted great.

I also got his siblings together for a rare sibling picture and then was able to convince his parents to jump into the picture too. A family picture of all the people there will be posted later when it emailed to me. Brad had a tripod and remote so everyone was able to get in on the action of picture taking.

I was able to get Kate to hold still for a picture in her new easter dress but the boys wouldn't stop long enough so I'll get them next Sunday. I hope everyone had a great easter.
