This and that. Park City and Shopping and Surgery.

Missy and I went up to  Park City for my birthday..  It is actually on the 17th, but every year we go up and stay in my condo. Its quite nice :)  We went shopping and watched a movie  it was way cozy.  We went shopping the next morning. We literally hit every store at the Tanger outlet mall!  After spending 400$ I think we were about done.  She spent more! haha it was nice to have some retail therapy and with ben getting a huge bonus, he gave me that as a birthday gift :)  He does it every year.  I had a lot of gift cards so that was a bonus. My Christmas shopping is done! I bought the cutest leggings and a matching dress for my new Niece, and some cute pink slippers and a top for my other niece,  Everything was under 12$ at Gymboree there.  I got Jasper some new levis for 3.99!! And Shiloh a cute pirate shirt.  Shy gets  all handy downs from Jazzy man, so I don't normally get new clothes for him, but its always nice to get him something new.  I have to get new clothes for Jazz because he is just growing growing!! Its awesome to see them grow :)  They look totally different. Jazz totally looks like me, and Shy guy looks exactly like his dad.   ANYWAYS.  We hit the cosmetic store. :) Getting new MAC makeup is always awesome.  All my makeup was almost  gone.  MAC is way expensive but yet again, everything was 30% or 40% so I ended up getting foundation, eye liner and primer and eye shadow from Clinque and some other stuff, all for 70.00$  Totally a stellar deal!  Missy got like six dresses.. she is a fashion MAJOR and her closet is over flowing,  but when she walks in the room, EVERYONE looks at her and is sooo jealous.  Missy has designer clothes and just looks amazing,   I'm totally clueless when it comes to fashion, I've decided awhile ago that there is no point anymore getting expensive clothing, because I have two toddlers, and I get dirty within, twenty minutes haha.  Oh well. Maybe sometime and someday, I will go back to expensive clothing.
While up there, I missed my kids sooooo bad and missing ben was even more hard, it was our first time in six years being away from each other hahah. Lame I know, but we always travel together. And both enjoy being with each other, when we need girl time or guy time, we spend half a day or a full day out but we ALWAYS sleep by each other.  But it was only a night, I'm such a wimp. I know,  we went swimming and spent two hours in the hot tub. It was relaxing. Very nice. And just relaxing. Its what Missy and I needed.
When I got home, I found cookies on my door step and notes from others on my door,  I just love my neighbors!  It was for my birthday! :)   Ben and I went to Costco.  Every year, Bens work gives us 500$  for Costco two weeks before Christmas.  So we went there and got groceries and Christmas gifts:) I just love bens work. Not just cause of that, but because Ben has an awesome and professional boss who is very well respected.  The environment is Mormon, and they are way family oriented.  They have the cocktail party/ dinner, and a family Christmas party with santa there. We are just thrilled and grateful for them, Ben has worked for them for two years now. So today was just full of shopping.  MY FAVORITE!
Ben was sick when I got home, or was getting sick. So that was a downside. Ben hardly gets sick, he has a very good immune system but when he gets sick, its very bad. It totally wears him out for days at an end. After Costco I got a bladder infection, sitting in a hot tub didn't really or wasn't the  best idea. I get bladder infections at least twice a month.  I have major kidney problems.  So its hard, and I get kidney stones and bladder infections so much, its very painful. I actually passed three two days ago :(  those hurt so bad :( im lucky my doctor gave me strong narcotics,  I wanted to die. 
The other day, I  went in the living room to check on Shiloh and Jasper and I saw white power all over the living room and on the brown couch and kitchen.... I looked for the " baby powder"  it turned out to be bleach comet.... my patience was tested.... believe me..... it was all over Shiloh's black new shirt too.
On other news, our dog ( my parents dog who is seriously loved by the whole world. Everyone loves Boone)  got another surgery, but this time on his leg, something burst in it and was bleeding from the inside.. so bleeding internally.  he is resting.  Boone has been one of my best friends ever since we got him as a puppy!  Love him!! He is getting old, but is still active    we love him and he is my dads best friend.  My dad is obsessed with him.  Everytime his dog dies, he always gets the same breed within a month. Golden Labs.  We have had three dogs in my life time and each was my best friend.  Barley he was just called Barley,  Jim Bridger we called him Bridger and Daniel Boone we just call him Booney or Boone.  All named after mountain men.:) Don't ask why. My dad just names them.
I'm really tired. and I cant really think of anything more to write.
I'm going to post some pictures and go to bed.  The pictures should say enough about other things going on. They always say, pictures say a thousand words!   xoxoxo

Jasper Found a HUGE ice cicle or how ever you spell it.

Jasper about to pounce on his dad!

First Kidney stone.. it may look small, but it is known in the medical world as really big. It took three hours to pass and I literally wanted to kill myself, it hurt that bad, the others came after.

Shiloh being the cutie he is.

Shiloh is getting his mommy's curl :)
