Gookie is no longer keeping her eye patches on. It is so frustrating to find them on the floor all over! So I got an ace bandage and I will try wrapping it around her head tomorrow. Sounds awful i know, but her eye isnt getting better when its not getting stronger.
Brad has had 5 days off and it has been nice to have him home. We havent really done anything, but atleast we are together.
Gookie was supposed to get her EEG tomorrow but I had to change it because we dont have the truck up and running and Brad's car doesnt have heat.
Tonight Brad and I were able to go to WINCO together without the kiddos. Hunter was asleep when we left and dear Bethany stayed here with the kiddos. I am so glad not to have had to bundle them up for the car without a heater.
Today Bethany and I went to the gym. And would you believe that I lost a pound?!? I thought for sure I had gained back everything and then these last 3 days I have tried really hard to have some self control with food. And I am so happy that it has paid off!
Now I plan to take a bath and defrost my toes.

The best way to spread Christmas cheer is singing loud for all to hear!
I asked Brad if we could do this and he said no. Bah Humbug!!
I love that they are singing a song about the Savior and not just Jingle Bells or something.

I knew it would happen, and today it did
For a few months now I have felt that the truck was going to die any day. I just knew that it was going to happen by the end of the year. It has been having problems and we havent been able to do anything about it financially.
The last 2 months I have been applying for jobs, knowing that we would need money because the truck was going to die, or "explode" as I would tell Brad.
Well today, we left my parents' house and I had a thought "the truck is going to explode". I kid you not, 2 minutes later the truck "exploded". It was chugging, making crazy noises, jerking and then a bang in the back and we couldnt do anything. We were a few miles outside of Tetonia and my brother was with us. My parents came and the kiddos and I rode in their car, following Brad very slowly home.
We are grateful to be home safe and sound. I am extremely grateful that I wasnt driving and alone with the kids, as this is how i envisioned it happening.
So with the truck out of commision, Boise State and BYU losing, it has been a very adventurous 2 days.

Playing Catchup
I havent been as dutiful with blogging and there are things I have missed. Here are pictures of when Hunter was able to go bowling with Papa Steve and Memaw. He got all his marbles in the cup!
Here are pictures of Gookies first haircut!! Beth cut off that awful long stand of hair in the back that made her have a mullet, a true Idahoan!
And some other pics of the kiddos.

Frigid
I think that word best captures the weather yesterday. We had a blizzard and all the roads were closed. It was so windy. Last night Brad and I were able to go to Harry Potter (could have sat for another 3 hours it was so amazing). I was soooo cold! It was in the negatives with the wind chill! In our kitchen our window has ice on the INSIDE. Yet we are warm and toasty.
This morning I took Hunter to preschool and it was 10 degrees but we dont have any wind so it is much warmer than yesterday. Pretty crazy that 10 degrees is "warm" compared to yesterday.
Gookie's Appointment
So on Monday Gookie went to the neurologist in Idaho Falls. We were late, the weather was bad and we saw atleast 5 cars that has slid off the road. Brad helped one lady out of a drift, what a man! ANywho
The Doctor was a wack job and we will NEVER see him again. He was strange and weird and walked out without a word to us to answer his cell phone, didnt ever make eye contact with us and when he was done just walked out of the room and Brad and I looked at eachother and said "uh, do we leave now?" Gookie will get an EEG to see if she is having seizures and then if so, we will definitely go to another neurologist. Brad and I both walked away feeling sick to our stomachs after seeing this guy, feeling unsettled I guess. We did not like his "bedside manner" I guess you can say.
So really, I wont know anything until the EEG and the hospital is supposed to call me and schedule that.
