This has been a crazy busy, hectic last week. Last Wednesday Night was the Blue and Gold Banquet. Joe and Josh had to decorate a cake, they decided to do a party hat since the theme was Happy Birthday BSA. I had to go to a couple different stores before I found the cake pan. 
The colors aren't exactly blue and gold, but blue and yellow. Josh said the colors fit better for a baby shower! Joe was a little miffed when everyone else showed up with cakes like a tank,
a hummer and a dragon, he said if he knew that you could do any kind of cake he would have done something totally different, but they were going for the Happy Birthday theme. (have I mentioned that I am glad this is our last year of cub scouts?) Josh received 5 awards, he has been working really hard in scouts since he finally got scout leaders a couple months ago!
Thursday afternoon after the kids got out of school we headed down to Utah to spend a few days with Joe's Family.
Joe's mom was diagnosed with Ovarian Cancer a few weeks ago and had surgery on Monday March 1, so Joe wanted to spend some time with her and we also wanted the kids to see her before she had surgery. Joe has taken the news of his mom having cancer quite hard, since we live in Idaho and she is in Utah, he felt like he couldn't really do anything for her. We had a really good visit with his family. We had a family dinner on Saturday Night, so the kids had a blast with their cousins, and Joe and his brothers and brother in law had a nice friendly game of basketball (I think they had more fun than the kids did).
We also had a nice visit with my parents, and a couple of my siblings and their kids while we were there!
Friday February 26 was Joe's birthday, we didn't really do much celebrating, we went to the Greek Garden for dinner (Because you can't find a Gyro as good as their's in Idaho) hopefully we can go out some time this weekend!
Sunday the 28Th Jena turned 18 months old. It was her first official week of Nursery (We have been taking her for a couple of weeks to get her acquainted with the nursery leaders). Since we were at Grandma's she got to go to Nursery in Grandma's ward. She actually let me leave her there. We have had to stay with her every time we have taken her in our ward. (I think it is because the nursery leaders in our ward are men.)
Jena's four favorite words are:
MINE
BARNEY,
CHEESE,
BABY
Monday was the Surgery, so Joe and I along with his Brother, Sister, Dad, Aunt, and 2 of his Uncles spend the day at LDS Hospital. The Surgery took about 4 hours, and when it was all over, the Doctor said it was a textbook surgery. He was very optimistic that with the surgery and the Chemo she would make a full recovery. We are very grateful to everyone who has been praying for her and the the Burger Family!
We got home at about 11:15 Monday night, and I have been doing catch up laundry and house work ever since, hopefully life will get back to normal soon!
