where does time go???

Life has been busy, I feel like the last few weeks have been a big blur.... on Friday I got to go to a Sportsmen for Fish and Wildlife Banquet, just what any girl would want to do on her birthday right????? it was not so bad, we got a free diner with no kids, so I can't complain, then on Saturday Brynn, my mom and I ran to St George to do a little shopping, and lunch at Olive Garden, then came back in time to go Joseph a Nashville Tribute to the Prophet, with Shawn and Jentri. (thanks Quinn, Amanda and Riley for watching Brynn and Lex) the concert was so neat, if I ever get the chance I would go again, they came down to perform for the youth. Shawn and I went on The Martins Cove Trek this last June with our ward and it was such a humbling experience, the group that performed just came out with a Trek CD, and it reminded me so much of our trip, it gives me chills. Shawns sister Pam was in charge of arranging the concert to come to Cedar, so we got 2nd row seats, my mom was on the first row, he, he. One of the members of the band had lived in Cedar for a while before moving to Nashville, his name is Tim Gates, Pam invited my grandma Jolley and mom to come and watch the concert, my grandma knew Tim before he moved so she thought that it was way cool when he pointed and waved to her during the show.

On Monday I took Lexie to her dentist and she had four cavities! I thought that she only had two, she did so good, they gave her some laughing gas and she sat their watching Horton Hears a Who after I ask her if she felt sleepy and she said that it made her HAPPY!! and that she likes that stuff, she makes me laugh!!
Jentri woke up early this morning with a sore throat, I was going to keep her home but told her to try and go to school and if she continued to feel sick then to call me and I would come and get her, well she did not call me until 3:20, school gets out at 3:30, so I went and picked her and Lexie up I could tell that she did not feel well. She took it easy this afternoon and then when I got home from young women's activity tonight Shawn said he wondered if she had Strep, so Jen and I headed to Insta Care at 8:10 P.M. they checked her for Strep and it came back positive, we hurried and got her a prescription to start before it gets passed around. That is just a little of what we have been up to.....but that is probably more then you wanted to know.

Happy 7th Birthday Lexie!!

February 27th was Lexie's birthday, Friday night she had a friend party, they played some games had pizza, kool aid, played some more games, then had cake and ice cream. Jentri was a big helper this year and helped with some of the games, she even came up with a fun scavenger hunt.

Lexie got a lot of fun things for her birthday, she finally got a Nintendo DS(I gave in) DS case, game for the DS, shoes, cute spring clothes, barbie clothes, a lot of toys and the cutest quilt ever! Lexie gets to share her birthday with Shawn's mom LaRee, so after her party we went down to wish LaRee a Happy Birthday! She is such a great mother-in-law and grandma!!

We LOVE you SO SO much LEXIE!!

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.
