Our Busy Week

Wow.. we had a crazy week and this one isn't much better.  Owen had a fantastic birthday!  Kam was home sick with the Flu.. yes, Influenza A!  Owen and Kam were both put on Tamiflu and it was magical.  Owen didn't get a single symptom and Kam was on the mend by day 4.  I took Owen to see 'The Nut Job' on his birthday and he loved that we had the theatre all to ourselves.  We opened presents when Daddy got home from work, ordered Chinese takeout (Owen's request) and cupcakes for desert.  It was a simple and perfect birthday.

By Friday, Kam was back to herself and feeling fabulous.  Then we picked up her make-up work at the Jr High and she was slammed with work to catch up this weekend.

On Saturday evening, we had tickets to tour the new Gilbert Temple.  This beauty is in our backyard.  I drive by it a million times a day and it's so gorgeous.  One of the prettiest temples I have ever seen. 

After a short 15 minute video, we got to walk through the temple and it's the only time the public is invited through the temple before it is dedicated on March 1st.  If you are local, you must go!

My parents, Uncle Rog and Gigi came with us.  My sis and her fam had tickets too but they came down with Strep and the Flu the same day.  BUMMER.  Tis the season for sickies.

After the temple, we went to my parent's house to celebrate these crazies' birthdays.  They all share birthdays really close together so we do one big hurrah with family.  It was late after the temple, they were all in pjs and totally exhausted.

Except for Kam...

I found about 45 selfies on my phone just now. 

Owen spent all morning Sunday building his new Lego sets.  Then had me take pictures of all of them. Selfies from my girl and Lego pics from my boy.. being a mom is my favorite job.

Sunday afternoon, we had yet another birthday celebration at Grandpa Todd and Monica's.  We did a combo birthday/Superbowl party.  Too bad the game and commercials were just bland this year.. where was the excitement?  I didn't take pictures either.. I guess I was just enjoying the moment.

Tonight was Kam's orchestra concert at the High School, followed by another one tomorrow.  Owen stayed home with Daddy, who is sick with a head cold.  The germs need to just go away!  Is it summer yet? 

Owen is doing so great at homebound school, but that's a post for another day.  I need some serious school advice.. so I'll save that for a post of it's own. 

Thanks for bearing with me.. that was a long post.  Enjoy this awesome video from Kam's orchestra concert tonight.  You'll recognize the song and start singing along!
