Milk Cow....

My mother in law milks a cow twice a day. She sells the raw cows milk to several people a week. This has turned into a nice little business for her. I think it takes great devotion to milk a cow twice a day. She wakes up earlier than the rest of us, milks, cleans up and then comes in and gets two eight year-olds ready for school. Its craziness! Then she does it again in the evening!

Who's crazier? Her the one who committed to this or me the one who volunteered to cow sit while she's in Idaho for a week? Yes, that means I am milking twice a day.... Wish me luck!

Migraines

Trying to keep up with life has about worn me out! I'm not quite sure, but I think my body's way of trying to make me slow down is by throwing a migraine at me every now and again!

A year ago or so I was suffering from a constant headache...it seemed to have lasted for weeks on end! I finally decided it had to do with something I was eating.

As a child I suffered from the occasional migraine...as in I had to go to sleep to get rid of it! I would be sensitive to light, sound, smells. You name it it would make it worse! I remember several times where I would lay in my dark bedroom with a cold wash cloth over my forehead and eyes trying to fall asleep. When I would wake, my migraine would be gone.

My headaches last year were not like this....these were simple headaches..far from debilitating. My migraines have come back though! I hadn't had one in quite some time...maybe once a year since I was 16 or so. But I am getting them once a month now...for the past couple of months!

I had another last night. I would rather have the flu and be vomiting with a fever than have a migraine! When my migraines come on it is all I can do to function. I start shaking, my head starts throbbing, I become nauseous. Last night after about an hour of trying to function I went to bed. After Cameron finally fell asleep, I tossed and turned in bed willing away the tears from the pain and praying that I would fall asleep so the pain would go away! It seemed to be forever and a day before this finally happened but it was more like and hour and a half later before I fell asleep.

I still have a touch of a headache today and my gag reflex is extra sensitive, but, I think I will survive....until next time!

I've been

letting my creative juices flow and have lots of little projects up my sleeve. I can't wait to show you! Soon though....very soon!

Here are some hints...

1) this project will help Cameron to be "quiet" at church!

2) this project will help Cameron to "fly" on Halloween!

3) I bought a great piece of furniture at a garage sale....It needed some work though!

4) We are scout leaders and are getting crafty

5) I have a new, second calling at church...enrichment assistant leader...you'll never guess who the leader is!

Hopefully I will have pictures of some or all of these soon!

Happy Mother's Day!

To all of my blogger friends and family, Happy Mother's Day!

I personally think we should have Mother's Day once a month! Wouldn't that be something?

It's been pretty crazy hectic around here again! I will post some pictures of things we've been up to soon!

Lot's of love!

Our Valentines Day

Our Valentines Day was spent moving and fighting. Don't you hate that? I had everything organized for easy transport....everything in here goes to the farm everything in there goes to storage.....yeah....it didn't work like that. Cole wanted everything he wanted and nothing else. But, honey, we need this stuff too....it's fine, Amber, we will come and get it later....well we just got it and it's been 3 weeks.

Anyhow, My husband surprised me the week before Valentines Day with a romantic night away. We left Cameron and Grandma and stayed at the beautiful Ashland Springs Hotel in Ashland. Thanks to Autumn and Jared Doshier for the wonderful room, and for the company. Us married folk aren't sure what to do with our selves when we are alone so we invited Autumn and Jared up for some Wii and laughter. We went to Standing Stone Brewery and had a wonderful late night dinner and some yummy Ginger Ale. I had the best nights sleep that night in a really long time and although we were only gone for 12 hours I was relaxed and refreshed. Thanks Emily and Shelby for keeping Cameron and Grandma (it was our first time leaving Cameron over night, I've left before and so has Cole but not both of us). And thanks Cole for listening and planning and being you! I appreciate all that you do for Cameron and I!

A new month already???

Can you believe it's March? Spring is right around the corner. I love spring! Lots of updates and good news so here we go!


Cameron: Is as cute as can be still!I know I'm partial and I hate bragging but there are moment throughout the day that I think to myself you are way too stinkin' cute, little man! And that's just what he is, a little man. We stayed a the Schultz family's home this past week with their four kids while mom and dad went on a mini vacation. We as a family got our exercise everyday with a two story house and the flight of stairs you have to take every time you go upstairs and downstairs, Cameron was a pro by the end. He would start at the bottom and count two, four, two, four, two, four....it was pretty darn cute and then he would start over once he was to the top and count four, two, four, two, two, four (yes, sometimes he'd get mixed up and repeat himself). He's had a nasty little cough for a week and a half. And yes, we are trying to teach him some new numbers I think one and three will be next.


Cole is good. He had an exciting week last week. His welding instructor asked if he'd like to be his assistant for the next three or so terms! Yay!!! Cole is psyched and can't wait for next term to start, only three weeks.


I am exhausted! With four extra kids for five days, and all of the running around that entails it was a long weekend. However they are incredible kids with incredible parents. we were honored to be able to stay with this family and get to know them better. I am now employed. I had my second day of work this morning. I work mornings 5 AM (yikes!!!) to noon or so. It works perfectly with Cole's school schedule, no babysitter required! I am fighting allergies and a sinus infection, with that comes a nasty headache and icky ears. I am holding up though.

Things are good with this section of the Henderson family. We are looking forward to being home, stake conference (Elder L. Tom Perry is coming to speak at our stake conference this Saturday and Sunday, Yay!), spring and most of all---the money that comes from both Cole and I being employed, Yipee!

I will try to be better about posting, life got away from me for a while and I'm excited for things to slow down.
