Sceptic turned Believer!

My sciatic nerve has been killing me for the past month or so. It starts in my lower back and goes all the way down my right leg (just like the picture!). It bothered me when I was pregnant with Kayden but it was no where near as bad as this time. One day it was so bad that I took a percocet and it didn't do a dang thing! So then I decided to do something I never thought I would do. I called a chiropractor. I have never really believed in quackopractors, just that they are glorified massage therapists, which I still believe to a point, BUT...my leg feels so much better!!!! I can definitely still feel some pain but it's not debilitating like it was before. I now go twice a week to get 'adjustments' so hopefully it will continue to get better. My favorite part is the roller table. I just lie there while this roller goes up and down my back, it feels so good. It's supposed to stretch out the spine or something, I'm not really sure, but I like it!

Easter

This Easter the Easter Bunny brought baskets to all three of us. It's the first year that stupid bunny actually made it to our house! Here's Kayden enjoying his spoils.
Wait, there's stuff in there?!

Jelly beans all over the driveway.

I love this picture. Father and son, hand in hand. So sweet.

We went to our friends house and had an Easter egg hunt. It was so nice of them to have us over! We had a blast, as always. And Kayden did great finding eggs.

"Look, I found a rock!" He played with this pile of rocks for about a half hour. It was so cute. He's just the cutest kid ever. See that fat lady in the white shirt back there? Yeah, that's me. I'm gettin' big.

It's a good thing I know he loves me!!!

I went and ate lunch with Tyler today. At the table next to us there was a woman about my age with a baby girl about 3 months old.

Me: Isn't she so cute?

Tyler: Yeah, she is. Wait, were you talking about the girl or the baby?

Me: Um...the baby.

Tyler: Oh, I didn't even see the baby.

Shawn and Laura's Visit

I'm so behind. Oh well.

My brother Shawn and his fiance Laura drove our van out to us. They had to drive the 25 hour drive straight through so they didn't have to worry about who would sleep where and all that fun stuff. The drive isn't that bad until the last couple hours. They are the worst. Anyway they got here on a Saturday afternoon. Most of the rest of the day was just lazing around for them, a short nap and some Wii.

Sunday I actually had to speak in sacrament meeting so they had the wonderful opportunity(ha!) to hear me talk on this subject. (it was so great to talk on a subject that I had already had half of the talk written!) Later that day we went to the Falls of the Ohio State Park and explored.

Monday we went to Schimphffs Candy store(they have a little area where you can watch them make the candy), the Louisville Slugger Museum, ate lunch at Rally's and then it was home again for Kayden's nap and more Wii! Shawn got pretty addicted to Mario Cart. That afternoon we went to a town about 30 minutes away where Laura's bestest friend happens to be serving a mission! We took pictures around the town, bought Papa Murphy's gift certificates, and put them in her mail box. When they got home, they printed off the pics and sent them to her. She pretty much freaked out! It was great fun.

Tuesday we went to Churchill Downs and learned about horsies! It was pretty cool. Then we went and ate at this place called Lynns Paradise Cafe. It's so ecentric! And delicious! Then it was off to see the Louisville Temple. After that, we went home and let Kayden nap and just took the rest of the day off. And played Wii.

Wednesday was their flight home so we just went out to lunch and then off the the airport. It was a short visit, but it was so fun to have them here!! I'm so excited to have Laura as a new sister in just two short months!
