Little Buddies : )

Now that Carter is getting a bit bigger he has decided that Talon is fun to hang out with. Talon is very excited to teach Carter new things and make him laugh. Here they are just chillin' out like little buddies. Both of them are still sick today but I can tell that they are making progress in getting better. It will be so nice to be able to leave the house again and get back into a regular routine.

Smarty Pants

.....................Dear little Talon is home from school today. He is sick once again. He has had a high fever and a nasty cough. When the meds. kick in he talks my ear off. Here are a couple of things he told me today. "Mommy did you know that Heavenly Father made my hair special?" " He made it so it will always stick up". He loves to fix his hair : ) "Mommy when I grow up I want to be an Astronaut so I can discover new planets. When I discover them I will come home and tell you all about them".

Watching the kiddo's

The other day I watched Amber's kiddo's so she could go to the Doctor. Keaton had that day off from school for a "Quality teaching day" (love how the schools name things). The boys were so excited to have Emma and Liam over!!!! The older kids had fun making fruit loop necklaces. Keaton ended up with a big one but the other 2 ate them as fast as they put them on the string. Cute kids!!
Then.....when Amber got back the boys asked if she would play a game with them. It is a highlight for them to play board games with her. I am not sure why they love to play them with her but they do. She is so good play the games with them. I play games with them all the time....I guess I am the mom....and not as "cool" as Auntie Amber : )

A few things to catch up on.....

Over the weekend Rick went to Wyoming for his Grandfather's funeral. He said that everything went we but wished that I could have gone with him. He was able to spend time with his extended family and see some places that he spent time at as a young boy. We thought the drive would be to hard on the kids/us so I stayed home and ended up taking care of sick little kids.

Then Sunday.....I stayed home from church with sick kids. Rick got home in the evening and I got a call from the Bishopric. I now have 2 callings. My newest is Girls Camp Director. I am super excited for this new calling because I have always wanted to go to girls camp. (but not to be in charge LOL!!!!!!) I am also soooooooooo scared and feel so inadequate because I have never gone to girls camp!!!!! What is a girl to do. Yikes!!! Pointers anyone...................PLEASE!!!!! I realize it is going to be a lot of work but also know of the great reward of doing it! That will get me through right?!?

Then, I got a call from my sister saying that my Dad was is in the hospital and just finished surgery. What???? He went to the hospital on Wednesday (due to complications from his Crone's disease, he had a complete blockage). Nothing was progressing for the better so they went in and dissected the lower portion of his intestine. He is a trooper. His pain dosage machine didn't work for about a 1 and 1/2. He was not feeling well at all. I went to see him last night. He was out of it but happy that I stopped by. We asked why he didn't tell us why he was in the hospital and he said he didn't want to bother anyone. So my dad!!! So my family!!! Anyway....he is doing better today. I hope to be able to visit him again on Wednesday.

Sick kiddo's

Well we have 2 sick little boys in our house. Carter is starting to feel better but he had pink eye and an ear infection. He is not happy at all when I come at him with the eye drops....he is a strong little bugger when he wants to be. Then, Talon has double ear infections. I felt so bad for him this evening. He was crying and had a high fever so off he went to visit the after hours clinic once again. We really don't like dealing with ear infections.......... all of the boys have had their share plus some. I think we are on the upswing now. Yeah! Thank goodness for meds! It is a good thing that it was the weekend and now the kids have school break.

Carter is walking!!!

Carter has been taking his time learning to walk but, he is now a full fledged walker and he is so dang cute! I was able to capture it on my camera but it is sideways and I couldn't figure out how to change it one here. (Just humor me and tilt your head to watch it). No sound either : ( But I think you can tell that he was saying Momma, Momma. He loves his Mommy!!!! I am lucky to have such a sweet boy.
