RELAXING WEEKEND!!

I could get used to a long weekend more often!! We had such a nice relaxing weekend, we were going to head south and go to Mesquite, but I was afraid that it would be raining so we just stayed home and it has been nice and quite. We had a nice Valentines, got to love the heart sugar cookies!! It is time go start the diet!

Brynn is feeling much better...yeah! and now if it would warm up and let Spring come, things would be great.

Lexie's 7th birthday is coming up soon so that is all that she is worried about, I am not that creative with birthday parties, she is wanting to do a "Hawaii" party, so if anyone has some good ideas I could use them.

Jentri loves to change the background on the blog, so this is her latest background, she has fun changing the text colors and coordinating everything, I think she did pretty good....she is such a good kid!

sick baby

I took Brynn to her Dr. appt, she was supposed to be going for her 18 months check up, but she has not been feeling well the last few days so, instead of making her another appt I thought that I would wait until her appt for her 18 month check up. Well last night was not a good night, she was having a hard time breathing and would not sleep, so this morning I took her to my mom's while I went to work and then I could take her to the Dr at 1:00, but when we got to my moms she threw up a little, so I called the Dr and they said that we could get her in earlier, I ran to work for about an hour while she fell asleep at my moms, so when we got the the Dr.'s Brynn looked awful, she was way wheezy and coughing, her Dr came in and said that she did not sound good, and her o2 Sat was low, they tested her for RSV and it came back positive and both ears are infected, ahh I felt so bad, they gave her a breathing treatment there, and they sent us home with the machine, she has to have the breathing treatment every four hours until she sounds better
Jentri and Lexie never got RSV so I thought that we were being way lucky, until now. I feel like an awful mom, I hate when my kids are sick, it is the worst. I hope she gets feeling better soon!!

High School Musical

Here are some pictures of Disney on Ice - High School Musical, Amanda was so creative and came up with this idea for the shirts, to wear to the show, I think that they turned out way cute, thanks Amanda for being so fun! Jentri was embarrassed so she would not take her jacket off all the way.
It was so nice to get away but we were ready to come home to see Brynn and Shawn. Thanks mom for the fun get away!!!

VEGAS FUN

This weekend my mom, Amanda, Riley, Jentri, Lexie and I went to Mesquite for the weekend, my mom got tickets for Disney On Ice - High School Musical. Shawn stayed home with Brynn, she would not have sat threw the show. Saturday morning we went to Vegas and stopped at Ceasars Palace to eat lunch at The Cheesecake Factory and some shopping at the Gap kid's and Express, and we walked into Tiffany & Co., nothing was purchased, imagine that... They had a show going on while we were eating and so we got to see that also. Jentri and Lexie's favorite part was the toy store FAO Schmartz, it was three levels and about everything a kid could want and more...Lexie, me and Jentri in front of Tiffany and Co.

At FAO Schwartz they have this giant piano that you could walk on, they had a blast with it.

SnOw DaY!

On New Years we went up to our cabin with the Stubbs' family, it was way fun, I had never gone up there in the winter, but the last few years they have started to plow the roads right up to the cabin. The weather was perfect and we all had a great time. Jentri and Cooper were little dare devils and could not get enough. Lexies first time down the hill she spun alot, hit the bank and got alot of snow in her face so she decided that she would rather ride in the Rhino, and Brynn loved to get in the sleds and have someone pull her around. Shad took his snowmobiles and pulled Jentri and Cooper around a little too.

There is a hill that we call Pringle's hill and when we were kid's it was a big thrill to go down it on four wheelers, we had my dad's Rhino and we would take who ever wanted to go down the hill and tubes to the top of the hill and let them slide down. I can't wait to go up again.

update on December

Wow! December is almost over, and that also means 2008 is coming to an end, that is a little scary! This year we had a lot of blessings with different family members and feel blessed that everyone is doing well. I feel so lucky to have such great family and friends,and most important for my girls and Shawn! I love you guys!

December was a very busy month, we had alot of fun parties including birthday parties(Jentri, Cody and my dad), family christmas parties, work parties, The Forgotten Carols Play (thanks Pam, it was awesome!) ward party and much more. It didn't seem like we were ever home. This was the first year that Jentri and Lexie woke us up every hour wanting to see what Santa had brought them, it started at

2 AM (very long night)They were happy with what they got and Brynn was not sure but the wrapping paper was fun to play with.
I just wanted to wish everyone a Happy New Year and hope that everyone had a Merry Christmas.

Jentri's Birthday Party

I know this is way late, but here is a few pictures of Jentri's birthday party. She had a late night party, a house full of 9 and 10 year olds is very entertaining, they were a fun bunch of girls.
