sickness, legos, wedding dresses and soccer

Back at the doctor! This week was triage unit time at our house. We were ALL sick...I had bronchitis and could hardly speak most of the week, Bryan had a killer sore throat, Taylor had some virus that wiped her out pretty hard (when she gets sick, she gets sick! couldn't get her to eat much so she gets so weak!), and Zacky had a headache and stomach ache (and some faking...he also mentioned to the doctor that his heart hurt...even the doctor laughed :). We missed lots of school! Not a happy week!
Kimmy turned 21! Kelly and I went over in the COLD and filled her jeep with balloons (fill is a strong word...I had some balloon issues and couldn't seem to find a simple bag of balloons!).
It snowed that day and we dressed for COLD and sexiness!
Pop-pop cheered Zacky up and out of sickness with a new star wars lego set...1300 pieces! Thanks grandpa! :)
can you hear the squealing!?

This was serious buisness! I asked him if he wanted my help and he just laughed!
In 3 days it was done! He was so proud. He wanted me to take LOTS of pictures to show all of the cool things it could do! (He put most of it together himself...Daddy helped a little).
This is a picture he took himself to show off his army inside :)

Taylor learned to play Kara's guitar during the week...she watched the dvds and can now play Jingle Bells and 2 cords! She LOVES it. Every time I'd look over, she had the guitar in hand. Guess what she wants for Christmas?? Zacky, who we got the dvds for, lost interest pretty quickly after realizing he'd have to study and practice! He has written another guitar song, a love song. He also told me this week that he wrote Lauren a letter and told her she looked cute :) If she could just hear his song, she'd be hooked!
For Kimberly's girls-night-out-birthday-celebration, we went dress shopping (3 hours at David's Bridal with the crabbiest employees!) and out to Olive Garden (in that order so as to have no bloating in the dresses :) We actually found lots of great ones! She went ring shopping on her birthday, so I'm thinking the proposal should be anytime :) hint Devin!
There was back cleavage :)
I always imagined 'princess kimmy' in this type of dress, but it was a no go? She poo poo-d it!
bring on the sash! We decided that any dress looked great with a cabernet sash :)
This was my vote :) I loved it the second we walked in the door...mom thinks it too plain...that's probably why I like it!
Kara had a little bridesmaid dress party herself :) She was loving it!
Saturday, against Bryan's wishes, we went up to Roy for Zacky's makeup soccer game. Melisa went for the pizza place...we had a little party after the big fat loss :(
Bryan hitched a ride with the Tetros!
We were missing Jonah and Shad so we brought Derek with us (he could use Jonah's card because he is his twin!). It was the first place team with 11 players and we knew with our barely 6 we'd get creamed! They actually did great and fought pretty hard. (11-0) Luckily it was a pretty day (we were prepared for a blizzard!) so at least Bryan couldn't complain about that :) Zacky was very frustrated after...playing goalie a lot of the game stinks! He's our best goalie and Bryan has him play on the field at the same time too...you should see him running down the field and then tearing back off to cover the goal :)
Taylor hung out with Ethan and actually came home with us after pizza...he loves her!
Before the game...Bryan had to give Hudson one of his socks...we all laughed...he did not :) our team looked so sad compared to there's and their official 'warm ups' Oh well, season over! Time for basketball. We'll do great next season when Alec comes back and hopefully we can find a goalie!
