Michael the Mountain Climber

So I have an expert mountian climber on my hands. ok so bunk bed climber is more like it. He thinks he is invinsible. Today he fell off the bunk bed for the first time. He held his arm and shoulder most of the afternoon so we took him in and he decieded that he was just fine. He was and now he is just fine. I aways am wanting to be safe rather than sorry.

Our Forth of July Celebration

What a fun filled day we had. We started off by going to the Caldwell parade a kids favorite, they love the candy and handouts. We had fun!!! We went home and ate lunch before heading off to Grandpa Smiths for a day with family. We had water baloons and kids. You can use your own imagiination the kids loved it. We then went and picked up some pizza and came back and ate. And the kids could hardly wait for it to get dark so that they could do thier fire works. We have so much fun every year but it is alway so fun when you are with family. This has been the first 4th of july on years to be with family. We got home late and everyone had to be carried in to thier beds. I am glad that we have a free country and that we are free to worship our Father in Heaven who gave us these freedoms.

Our Camping Trip

We went camping and had a great time. our kids had fun calling our tent home they would say can we go home to our tent now mom. Spencer while laying down to go to sleep asked a question to everyone " Was this tent easy, medium, or hard to set up? His reply was it was medium. He always has very thoughtful questions that he asks.

Our trip to the Temple

Yesterday we were able to attend the temple and do baptisms for the dead. It was a great expereience and we had so much fun. I love going to the temple because it is a great opprotunity to share with our children our testimony. I was telling Spencer that we were going to do baptisms for the dead and then he said I will die and then you can baptize me for the dead in the temple. Our children are so sweet and innocent. I love them and they are so sweet and have a great testimony.

Our altra sound

Well today was the day. We took all the kids with us so that they could see the baby and have it feel real, I admit it was not so fun for the little kids they got board. but we made it. The tec took about 100 pics and we will find out how every thing went on our next Dr. visit or sooner if anything is wrong. We also found out that it is a Girl!!!!! So we can say that our children have made a pattern Boy Girl Boy Girl Boy Girl. I hope that this means that we are done. Although this has been a very easy pregnacy for me the easiest I think. I better go and get the kids thier FHE treat now they are waiting paiciently.

Michael Got Tubes on Friday

All went well for Michael. He did not even slow down for them. We were at the Hospital at 6:30 am early I must admit. I told Michael all about what would happen and so when they were ready to take them he did not even cry one bit. He was gone for about ten minutes and he was sleeping wrapped up tight in a blanket, he slept for about 10-15 min and them woke up and drank a cup of jucie and ate some crakers and then we went home. He has not slowed down one bit still very much a two year old. He is very sweet.

What a crazy Week we have had here

Well It has been a long week. Last Friday I started to get a sore throat and by Saturday afternoon I could not get out of bed. I preety much stayed in bed until Monday morning. I love husbands they are so wonderful. David took care of all the kids and me. What a hero!!!! on Monday morning I called the Docter and went in. I had strept throat and got some meds. I came home and took the meds and climbed into bed while the kids sat on the bed and watched T.V. while I slept. I had a meeting to go to for our school uniforms so I had to rest enough to go to that. I can not believe how fast the meds kicked in. The meeting was great. Tuesday I had Michael's ENT appt. His ears are healing nicely but still have stuff in them. He is scheduled for tubes next Friday. Yea for Michael!!!! Wednesday I had Allies Orthopedic Surgen appt. to see how she has been healing. The Dr. says that everything looks great. She will get her cast off sometime next week and have it replaced with a smaller one that gives her the use of her ellbow. She is excited for that. Thurday Joseph had a field trip to the Zoo, I took all the kids and we went and had a great day at the Zoo. I love being a part of my kids lives and watch them grow. On Friday I had my OB check up along with Michael's 2 year well child check up. I am 17 weeks along and have my ultrasound is on the 1st of June. I can not believe that I am this far along. Crazy I say. Michael is 25 lbs and 33 in long his hieght and wieght are in the 25th% while his head is in the 75th%. We have always known that his head was big. I can not beleive that he is two years old. Anyways this has been the first time that I have bloged all week long. Hope that all are doing great.
