Poor Katie

So June 1st we had Katie's tonsils out. Oh what a Hell week!!! She tried to be good and listen to me. She hated the taste of the Lortab and I had to coax her for 30 min. before she would even take a sip. Every 4 hrs, for 8 days! She got so nauseated from the meds that I wound up taking her to the ER because she couldn't keep anything down. Then the medicine they gave her for nausea gave her horrible stomach cramps and diarreah. She slept in our room for 8 days and finally got acting like herself around one and a half weeks. I am glad we did it, for the most part. She doesn't snore anymore. we just had her 3 week check up and she has healed great. She still has minnie mouse voice, but they said after 3 months it should be completely gone. But I am So glad it's over.

Crawling, teeth, and 6 months

Already!!??? it's been 6 months. My little boy is crawling. He has two teeth with two more on the way. He weighs over 20 lbs. I take him in Monday so I will re-post what his actual weight is. I am in love with this little guy. He is so darn cute, he makes me smile every hour.

1st vacation of the year

For our first vacation we went to Capitol Reef National Park. We had tons of fun being with family. On Thursday we left. It took 4 hrs to get to the campsite that was available. Friday, we went into the Fruita campground. They have a beautiful meadow that you can have a pic nic . The kids played in a river there and, of course, we didn't bring changes of clothes. So we went back to camp and was not able to "see the sights". Sat., we went to Goblin Valley. It was a dust bowl and the wind was somethin' fierce. But the rock formations were fun to play in for about 10 minutes. Sunday we rested and packed up to go home. John and I went the "long way". And I must say it was GORGEOUS!! I would love to go again to see that beautiful country. My next vacation I would like to go hiking at Escalante. It was SO beautiful there. OH! Yeah! Susan had the kids have a boat race and a critter race. Paige's boat won and her one legged grasshopper also won but it was a close one with Jayden, Neveah, and Katie's caterpillars coming in one after the other. John Wyatt did so great. He is by far our easiest kid to camp with :)

Mother's Day

This year we went to eat at Panda Garden with my family. John had to do work on the property so he missed dinner. He gave me a spa day the next weekend which was SO nice. Christine and I gave my mom some stepping stones with the kids' hand prints and names on them. I am going to make this a tradition to see how much they grow every year. I also gave my annual updated picture shirt.
