On May 1st Brea was Blessed. It was a very special day and I am grateful for everyone who came and supported us. Brea looked like a little princess. I think she slept almost all day. She fell asleep right before the blessing but Brandon said she was wide awake during the blessing and then as soon as the blessing was done she fell right back to sleep. She sure is a special little girl. :) Its amazing how much you can love all your kids.
Yes, I have been slacking. I am trying to keep up but some days it is impossible.
We had some visitors. Zach and Nikki's family came to good ol' Bunkerville and it was so good to see them. I took a few pictures of Ned and Brea but to be honest it was hard to keep sweet little Gwen away to snap a few shots. She needs a baby sister (hint hint Zach and Nikki). These babies look so different it is amazing to me that they are cousins.
My Sweet little Brea is growing like a weed! She is now 2 months old and I can't believe how she has changed. I can't imagine my life without her.
Dantzel has lost yet another tooth. I keep telling her to stop messing with her teeth or she will soon have none to eat with. Isn't she cute without her front teeth.
My kids are so fun. They are such good kids. I am so blessed to have them in my life.
I had surgery and this is what my eyes look like. Too bad its not October (Halloween).
My sister got married. I got word at 7:30 am on Friday and she was married by 10:00 that same day. I am glad my Dad invited me. I went only to support my good parents. I hope she is Happy!
Just found out this morning that Jaidyn and Jaicee are going to have a new step mommy. I am happy for them but also sad because they have been such a big part of our family. Hopefully we will be able to stay in contact with them.
Seems funny to me that so much can happen in such a short time. I hope to update soon cause this last break was just too long for me. Happy Monday everyone!
Brandon brought home a new computer as promised that Monday night. The only problem is, he didn't have it up and running with all my programs until later in the week. So I am up and running with a brand new computer. It is amazing how fast they are when you first get them.
This last week was a good one. We always have so much going on. Here are a few things that happen.
My home computer died this past weekend. :(
I am trying to update more often and so I am on the lap top. No pictures with this post. :( Here are 10 different things that happened this past week.
1. On Saturday the kids were all out playing and Jaicee fell from the jungle gym and split her head open. It was a laceration split and it needed 5 stitches. It split all the way open clear through to the bone. Needless to say I had a feeling to go check on the kids and saw the whole things happen. We had a lot of blood. Thank goodness she is okay.
2. On Wednesday Dantzel and Duncan went to the new Quick Care here in Mesquite. Dantzel had an ear infection and is now on antibiotic. Duncan had bronchitis. He is now on children's sudafed. Both kids are doing better now. finally!!!
3. On Thursday James and Dantzel had a dentist appointment. They both got x-rays and a cleaning. They both have cavities too. We will be making another visit to the dentist to get them filled.
4. When we got home from the hospital I think Brea had caught a cold from the discharge nurse. She has had a lot of snot and a little congested. Poor little baby! She has had a rough start to life. She sure is a good baby though. We are very blessed!
5. We had company come (Amy and her sister Ashley) It was so fun having them come see us. The kids loved playing candy land. Amy brought it with her for them. :) She is always so thoughtful!
6. Duncan moved from sleeping in his crib to a big boy bed. He now sleeps on a full size bed. He totally loves it!!!
7. The kids have loved helping me weed the back yard. Kinda nice huh! I dig them up and the kids wait in line to pick them up and throw them over the fence into the field.
8. I took the training wheels off the little bike for James. Now he needs to learn how to ride without them. He will catch on fast!
9. I guess I can put that my home computer died. Brandon has now told me it is time to buy a new computer. I am sad but happy. Reasons for being sad are: I don't want to spend money on a new machine. I have a few other places I could put the money ie. Medical bills :( I am happy because my computer is going to be up to date for a little while and it is going to run super fast. :)
10. I have discovered my love for eating and cooking with onions has come to a halt. Brea has showed me that when I eat these yummy veggies I will pay for it. She doesn't cry she just barfs. When I say barfs I mean BARFS!!! I have had to shower 3 different times. So grouse! Brandon still thinks she is barfing because I am over feeding her when she eats. Yes, he is not happy about this either. :(
I hope this next week consists of spending more time outside in this fabulous weather.
I am actually sitting in the Hospital with my brand new baby Brea. It all started the other night. She started to run a fever and so I took her into the Dr. Her 2 week appointment wasn’t scheduled until Friday (today) but because she is so little I decided to take her in. The Dr did a few tests: urine and a spinal tap test to see if we could see what was wrong there in the Dr Office. Well, turns out because she is so little they had to admit her into the hospital. I drove her over to the Hospital, and here we sit. This is the second night and I am hoping that we will be able to go home tomorrow. They ended up doing a lot of different blood work, and an ultrasound. The lab took 24 hours to get the blood tests back. It turns out that she has a Urinary Track Infection and turns out moved into her Kidneys. Thank goodness the infection didn’t get into her blood stream. The ultrasound showed that there wasn’t any fluid on her kidneys, so that was good. We just had to play the waiting game. In the mean time Brandon had to play Mr. Mom. He is such a good Dad! I am very blessed to have him as my husband and father to my children. Sorry, didn’t mean to get all mushy on you. :)
We are home and on antibiotics. In a week Brea goes in for ex-rays to make sure the infection all got cleared up. I'm not looking forward to this. We will get through it.
Dantzel and James have been weeding my back yard. They have been putting the weeds in there shirts. Kinda funny. Dantzel was even making sounds like it was so hard having a baby in her tummy.
