My Commercial

Ok a bunch of you have asked about my commercial and I finally got a copy of it, so I put a link on the right side so you can all go and see it.

Sick of Sickness

When is the sickness ever going to END?

We have been watching Kira for the last two months with mono and her liver. Her eyes have been swollen which they attributed to the mono but its been two months now! Now they are going to send her in to an optometrist.

Two or Three weeks ago(honestly I can't remember time is crawling right now) Logan got a sinus infection, two days later Dallas got an ear infections, two days later Kaden was in the hospital for his asthma AGAIN(last time was in may right before Logan had his appendix out), both Kaden and Dallas had Diarrhea, Kaden had it so bad his whole butt was bleeding(not an exaggeration)! We had to get a prescription for his bottom and he's doing better now.

So when we were at the hospital with Kaden they found that most of his wheezing is from his tonsils being so LARGE. So we get to have those taken out pretty soon. I am so excited(notice the sarcasm)! That means another 2-3 day stay in the hospital during a move! Oh Boy!

Then 4 days later(I got a little break)Logan complained that his ear hurt. I thought he's just finished his antibiotics, he can't have an ear infection! So I took him in and they cleaned his ear out and it looked fine and sent us home. Pain was still there and growing worse, which for Logan is a big deal cause nothing ever hurts. So they prescribed us some pain drops and he about flew threw the roof(see last sentence). So we took him in and he has Mastoiditis. His ear canal was almost shut and his ear was swollen and behind his ear was swollen. Poor guy, he's feeling a little better now.

The next day Kaden started an ear infection and is still coughing. Anybody else having this much fun? Really it should not be allowed to have this much fun!

I'm saying UNCLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Sorry about the complaining I just had to get that out.

Happy 9th Anniversary!!

Happy 9th Anniversary Sweet-heart!

Our New House!!!

People have been begging for information so here it is.

WE HAVE A HOUSE!!!!!!!

We have waited 2 1/2 long years to get a place of our own and now its happening!!! We are so excited we can hardly contain ourselves!

It is in Ridgefield which is closer to the city(about 20 min) and close to Peters parents house(about 20 min). Peters bus will pick/drop him up at the house so we don't have to pick/drop him off at the stop and drop any more! Yea!!! The kids will finish out the school year at La Center schools and then transfer to Ridgefield.

Ok about the house....It is a little over 2400 sq ft, 2 car garage, 4 bedrooms, 2 1/2 bathrooms, living room, family room, and dining area. The laundry room is upstairs with the bedrooms(SO NICE!). There is a bay window in the Kitchen nook area, and tile back splashes in all the bathrooms and Kitchen. We are right up against the Green belt so there is no one behind us and there never will be. There is walking trails around the Green belt but NOT behind MY house...thank goodness I don't want people walking by every 5 min! There is a little park at the end of the walking trail so that will be fun. We are on the very end street so we won't get alot of traffic.

We are so excited.....first time we will have more than 1 bathroom, a garage, a family room, and the part the kids like the best.....Stairs! When we were looking for houses their questions were...Does it have stairs? and Does it have a pool? Those were the most important to them! I remember saying the same thing about a pool to my parents....they didn't get a pool till I moved out...Thanks mom and dad that was NICE! :-P

The Appraiser is going to the house today and the inspection will be done on Monday, then we sign Papers next week and then its time to MOVE IN!!!!! YEA!!! No more going outside and upstairs to go to the kitchen or bathroom. I will have my OWN ROOM!!! We will have more than one room!!!!! I will have my own kitchen again!!!!!! I will have my own Bathroom!!!!!! Ok can anyone tell how excited I am??

Catch up!

Ok so we are now back from Vacation. So I'm going to start from the beginning since its been a whole month!!! Pictures to come!

My parents came down to see Logan get baptized and that was so awesome! We are so excited for him and love to see his excitement for the gospel and the scriptures! My parents took Kaden with them because I would be flying out in a week anyway, and that would be one less kid to worry about. They had so much fun together but I don't think they remembered how much energy it takes to watch one that weighs so much and has so much energy!

We had Kira's birthday party the sat before we left. When we woke up that morning there was 2 ft of snow!!! We didn't know if the van would make it out! Then the power went out and I still had to cook the pizzas! Luckily my wonderful friend Rachel let us come and cook the pizzas at her house! Kira had such a nice time at her party and was so happy!

We flew out that Tuesday for my parents house and our 6 hr trip turned into a 12 hr trip! Luckily I didn't have Kaden or I don't think I would have made it! One problem was that I caught Dallas licking one of the hand rails, I thought I caught him in enough time but 2 days later he was pucking his guts out..then the rest of us were! I felt so bad. My Dad, my mom, my brothers, my sister in-laws, my nephew, my grandpa, my kids, my husband, the missionarys, it was so bad!!! Oh well! A Christmas to remember right! My husband was snowed in after we left until he had to leave and it looked like he got out in enough time because the snow just DUMPED after he left and he wouldn't have gotten to come. We had so much fun at Gma and Papa's house even though we were all not feeling well all at different times.

Peter had to go home the Monday after Christmas and then we did wedding prep for the rest of the week. Brad and Rachel's wedding was fabulous! Kira thought she was in princess land! She was in heaven! She even enjoyed cleaning it all up...she didn't want to leave! After that it was time to get packed up and go home. Luckily on the way home we were only delayed 45 min so that wasn't too bad. Logan and Kira are still bouncing off the walls though! It's been hard to get everybody back into a routine! Even me! Kaden is finally getting used to not being held constantly but it took a LOT of screaming!!

We had so much fun and we wish it could have lasted longer but now we have to get back into the swing of things.

We hope you all enjoyed your holidays!!!
