Summer

Ready..Set..Go..

I have been neglecting our blog. I'm going to try to keep us going again. Summer is here once again, and how fast it has come. In the past few months.. Luke had graduation from Miss. Tina's Preschool. Which was awesome she does, great things with the kids. They learn so much from her it amazing. Luke is now going into Kindergarten this fall. Emilee is in her last few weeks of school, and she is ready to be done. Jacob is crazy as always....he follows his brother's lead. There are all so excited for summer vacation this year. As most of you know we our going on a cruise. Down to the Caribbean- this is a Christmas present from my parents. 10 days of fun in the sun. We all can't wait..

Life is Busy

Wow..........I don't know even where to start. I guess I will start with Emilee- wow she is having a blast playing softball. And she's really good they usually play her at shortstop but she loves playing catcher. Go figure- the only thing I can think of is, she has action at every play. She's a very talented batter, just ask her little brother Jacob who is living proof. Yep, Jacob's nose was the product of how great a hitter Emilee is. She was practicing off the tee when she accidently hit Ja in the nose. Amazing he did not cry he was so worried about his blood, there was a lot of it. I didn't know if it was his mouth or his nose. Stinks foe him that it was his nose, poor kidit would have to be his nose. I ran him to Urgent Care and two x-ray's later a major bruise but not broken. Rod insisted that I take pictures- he said " it's cool he will be so proud when he gets older." It must be a guy thing. That weekend when we were out and bout you should of seen the looks we got. But no one asked. Now it hs been just about three weeks and, there is hardly any brusing left. He is such a trooper. Luke just turned five I can't beleive it- he will start school this August. Had to take him for his school immunizations no fun 5 later. I had to hold the poor kid down, it was so sad he kicked and screamed. But now he's ready for kindergaden round up. Two in school the time goes way to fast. Now if I can figure out how to put pic's on the new computer- I can upload the pic's of Jacob's nose.

It's been a BUSY week for us, on Monday Jacob had to go have bloood work done for his procedure on Thursday. They got it on the first try, we were all glad for that. Tuesday was back to school and work, as you know I work at Mojave there is always something CRAZY never a dull moment. Wednesday we had to go pre-register Ja that was fun I had to go after school, with all three kids loads of fun. I love my children but taking them to a hospital for any period of time is no fun. Then we ran around getting the two older kids ready for school and daycare it was aalomost midnight before I got to bed. Then it was already 5am we had to be at the hospital at 6:30. It wasn't too horrible until they had to pull Ja from my hand, to take him to the OR. He cried until we couldn't hear him anymore. They went through his little nose down to him lungs and had to make sure that the famous bead was not there. There was no bead thank goodness for us, we were so happy. He had such a hard time waking up, but I suppose that is to be expected. He came home and we all feel asleep until it was time to get Emilee from school. Finally on Saturday rod and I got to do our Valentines Day after softball practice. We went to the Rebel Game against BYU love BYU but support the home town team. After UNLV beat BYU in a sweap we went to dinner, it was so nice to get out just the two of us. Although Rod left his cell phone at home and Em called us 4-5 times nd figured out how to text. I think we had 8 text messages from her. But it was still really nice.

A long CRAZY Month

Ok, when I tell you ll this your going to have to take a double take. Jacob the three year old stuck a plastic bead up his nose, he cried so hard when Rod went to look it disappeared. So doctor said don't worry it should pass, ok but no it was still in his nose causing him to keep getting sick. Doctor ordered x-rays could see a blockage, went to ENT doctor he tried blowing it out no luck there. They sent us to the lung doctor- Jacob is now going in for a bronchoscope on Thursday the 19th to see if the bead is down in the lung if it is try to fish it out. I know it's crazy........But this will pass.
Emilee also started softball three weeks ago, she's loving it of course her dad and I are way into it. She's probably got the most excited parents on the team, but this is something we both love playing. So of course her dad has done his research on bats for her age and now she has two. She willhave her first game next month twice a week. She's like her dad needing a batting glove Mittons there "wimps" j/k. But her brothers love trying to play catch with her. we have had only one accident Luke got hit in the chin cried for a few minutes and was good. But after cutting his finger last year pain is nothing for him anymore.
We finally decided on airfare for our cruise in July the kids are super excited to fly and get on the boat. Acutually we all can't hardly wait. Now we just have to get our Passports and then were good to go.

January

Well it's almost come and gone, I can't believe it I hope the year the rest it doesn't go this fast. The family is doing well, we've been sick most of this month. But for excitement Jacob stuck a bead up his nose, Rod went and saved the day. He went on his lunch to check him out, he got there and took a look at it and all the crying made it disappear. Had to make a call to the doctor his first question this wasn't Luke who cut his finger I replied with no. It's the youngest one, he told us what to look for and what to watch for. So here it is two weeks later and he got a horrible runny nose, just what he said to watch for. So today we went to the doctor, no bead that they could see. So were crossing are finger's that it all better which I'm sure that it will be. Luke is learning how to write his last name, and all his numbers he loves Preschool. Emilee is doing really well in school, we just got her Progress report four B's and one C that's almost a B. Were so proud of all our kids, they are the whole world and hope they continue to succeed. Rod and I our so glad to parents.

New Years

WOW another year has come so fast..... We had a blast we went to Russ and Michelle's did snack foods all night played games and rang in the New Year. All the kids stayed up the entire night, we celebrated a small get together for Jacob and Kelsey's birthday. Since they share the same birthday. Jacob got some more toys and a few new movies. SpongeBob is his favorite. Next weekend we will celebrate Jacob's birthday with my side of the family. My parents got SURPRISE they had 5 new puppies tonight. Well we hope this year is good for all of us and your family.

Merry Christmas

Well we made it through Christmas. Thank goodness for the man Rod he did all the wrapping and putting together he was up until 4:30 as was I crying that I was misreable. It was so bad Rod had to give me a blessing. I'm so lucky for such a great husband. Thanks Rod for not disappointing the kids. For the kids it was wonderful, they all got what they wanted and more. As for me one week later I'm finally feeling better, I was sick from Christmas Eve until New Years Eve. It sucked for me, I had to go to the doctor on Friday when Quick Care was open. I was so dehydrated had to have an IV no fun. I watched the kids open there presents Christmas morning and went straight back to bed. I felt horrible I never want to be sick again over the holidays. Well to give a peek into what the kids got...
***Emilee a Razor motor scooter which she loves, a Karokee machine, webkins, clothes she said she got everything she wanted, two pairs of skinny jeans her favorite, and her first Aeropostale sweat shirt she can finally wear a small.
***Luke raked in the tanks and the G.I Joes, he got his first PSP from Santa which he loves, he also got some clothes and his first webkins. He was happy.
***Jacob loves tractors he got a riding pedal tractor with a bucket on the front and one on the back. He also got a few more tractors, and Cars toys which is favorite movie we've gone through three. And he has his birthday on New Years Eve so who knows how much more he will get.
****Rod and I made a deal that we were buying a camcorder and a laptop for Christmas but of course we both bought each other something. But we wanted a nice Camera to take on our Cruise yes... my parents bought us cruise tickets for the 5 of us were going to the Carribean so exciting. Wasn't a suprise we have known since last May but it still a cool gift my siblings and there spouse's are also going.
We usually make the rounds to both sets of parents but with me being so sick we stayed home, Rod's mom and dad came out Friday and gave the kids and I our gifts. More toys for the kids, Rod and I got some pretty cool things. We still have to go to my parents we hope to get over there tomorrow.
