Quote of the day!
Dantzel: Mom, I'm so sorry I was naughty the other day.
Me: What do you mean?
Dantzel: I cried and cried and didn't like the baby because it was a boy. Now I love him and I am happy that I am going to get a baby brother.
Me: You are so sweet!
Dantzel: She kisses my stomach and says "I love you baby brother!"
It's amazing the things little kids come up with. :)
Dantzel has been saving for a long time. She finally did it. Both Brandon and I are so proud of her for saving all her chore $$. This is her pick, color and all.
I think she is still a little young for a 2 wheel scooter but, that's what she wanted so I guess she will have to learn fast! My little girl is growing up way too fast! :)
We went to Logandale and the kids got to see the little horses again. These little guys are so cute! It really makes me want one or two for my kids.
We were lucky to have some visitors last weekend. They brought new toys for the kido's. I felt like it was Christmas all weekend all over again. Thanks for everything guys! This is Dantzel and her new tutu and wand. As you can see, she likes to pose! James with his new fire truck. He is such a happy kid all the time!

If this picture doesn't make you day then...I don't know what will. I laugh out loud just looking at it. Dantzel was going through a faze where she liked wearing her goggles everywhere. This was one of the first times she actually put them on herself. CRAZY KIDS!!!

Warning: kinda long but, I want to document what happened so here it goes.
As many of you probably heard, James was put in the hospital Friday. This is not something I would wish upon anyone. James had a fever on Monday and was having some wheeziness with his breathing. I just thought he was coming down with another cold. He usually has a hard time breathing when he catches colds. Anyhow, he was having the same symptoms all week. Finally on Thursday afternoon I was feeling a lot more worried. My mom happen to come visit and she advised me to get him into the Dr. I called right away and I couldn't get him in anywhere until the next morning (Friday). After having a week of sleepless nights both Brandon and I we were ready to find out what was wrong with our little James. Thank goodness my mom offered to take Dantzel for a sleep over. She was really excited. When we got to the Dr on Friday morning, we were there forever! The Dr was trying to figure out what was wrong and decided to give him 2 breathing treatments in a row. They didn't help at all so we had X-rays done. When the Dr looked at them she thought he had pneumonia with a bad viral infection. She then admitted him into the hospital right away because he was already in respiratory failure. SCARY!!! They were waiting for us at the hospital when we arrived. We already knew his room number and everything before we even left the Dr office. We got to drive him to the hospital, thank goodness. We were just trying to keep him awake. We were worried his was going to stop breathing on us. We made it to the hospital and they got him all hooked up on machines antibiotics and oxygen. Getting the IV in was one of the hardest things. They really couldn't find a vain. They finally got the IV started in his head the poor little guy. He was so good through it all. As many times as they poked him he would just look up at me and say "owe mommy". We didn't have to worry about him screaming or pulling away. My mom brought Dantzel to the hospital that night and that was one of the best things for little James. We had to take him into the hall to see her. With it being bad time of year for all sickness they advise to keep kids under 14 out of the pediatric unit. As you can see in the pictures I am a wreck. Yes, I am a baby and was crying. It is so scary to have your baby in the hospital. We didn't even know what he really had until we were about 3 hours from being discharged. CRAZY!
He now has been diagnosed with Asthma (which I already knew but, they wouldn't put him on anything because he is so little. Now we can get him on something because he has been hospitalized. So DUMB!!!) He was also positive with RSV. We will be staying away from everyone for a while.
We are home and still trying to get everything and everybody back to normal. Brandon and I are fighting a cold. I think from all the stress our immune systems are a little weak. No worries we are taking our vitamins! Dantzel has a little cough but I think she will get better soon too.
Thanks to everyone for all your thoughts and prayers. I know that it has helped with James fast recovery. We are very blessed to have family and friends who care so much about us.
Here are a few pictures from the whole Hospital experience. Thanks Mom for bringing your camera. These pictures were for Dantzel. We were taking pictures for Dantzel to see her brother. We were walking back and forth but, then I just asked if we could take him out to see his sister. That Nurse was very nice. I think we broke some rules while we were there. oops!
