Cabin Pics

A few weeks ago Marty and I took the kids up to the cabin. My friend kelly and her family were able to come with us for a night. Here are some pics from our weekend.

It's Finally Done!!!

I am happy to say that Ashton's room is finally done. I know that he has been in the living room down stairs for 6 months now but I am happy to say that he is now in his newly repainted and refloored room. He was a little upset about us covering the tile with laminate wood but he has adjusted well. It looks so much better in his room and I am now not feeling so gulity about him being in a dark cave downstairs. Thanks to my sister in law Tara for all her help and her husband for being without her while she was helping me all those days!!! Here's some pics even though they don't do the room justice

Our scary night

On Wednesday Kenzie woke up from her nap feeling a little hot. I took her temp which only ended up being 99.3 so I just chalked it up to teething. She was acting fine, playing, she even ate three bowls of mac n cheese. I have young women's on Wednesday nights so she was staying with Kaylee and Ashton until Marty got home. I must have had a feeling that something wasn't right because I called from the church (which is down the street) to check on everyone. I talked to Kaylee and she said all was fine and I knew Marty was due home anytime so I turned my attention back to my church girls and continued cleaning the church. About 7:15 the bishop came and got me for the phone. It was Michelle who told me to get home that kenzie was having a seizure. I really don't know how I managed to drive home, pick her up and give her to Michelle and then drive carefully to the hospital. I should have been a wreck but I know that God was with us and was helping me to stay calm. Kenzie was unresponsive until we got out of the car at the hospital and at this time she just started crying but couldn't move for about another 45 minutes. It was terrible to see her so lifeless. Turns out she has the swine flu and her fever spiked to 103 fast and it caused her to have a fibril seizure. Scary! She is doing well but boy did she scare us. We are so grateful to Kaylee- who knew to call next door when something wasn't right, and Michelle- who knew what to do when someone is having a seizure. They saved her life. Thanks to everyone who prayed for us and called to make sure we were all taken care of.

Bathroom gummy worms

About two weeks ago I noticed that Kenzie was constantly wanting her diaper to be changed. I decided it was time to potty train. So off I go to the store and I bought her some cute little Dora underwear and decided because she loved gummy worms I would get those for her to help with the process. So I came home and showed her the stuff and off we went to sit on the potty and change into her Dora pants. She sat on her potty for about three minutes, got up, pulled up the underwear and said worm please. I explained to her that she didn't get a worm unless she peed in the potty. She wasn't "getting it" so I had Kaylee sit on the toilet, pee and she got a worm. She still didn't "get it" so I sat down, peed, and got a worm. After a little while and a big fit she finally " got it." So off she goes to play- in her underwear. Well she lasted about 5 minutes and peed through them on the back porch. We decided to try later.

Later...

Kenzie and Kaylee are in the bathtub. Kaylee gets out and goes to the bathroom and Kenzie gets all excited and claps and says "kay kay worm!" So I think wow she gets it. So after Kaylee gets her worm I ask Kenzie if she wants to try and go potty and she tells me no. So I tell her she can get a worm and she tells me "I no like mom" and that is the end of that! So now I have a big bag of gummy worms that sit in the window sill for all of our friends and family to ask " why do you have gummy worms in the bathroom?" Ugh kids!

Kenzie's 2nd 2nd Birthday!!

Kenzie had her other birthday party on Monday when we got home. My sister in law Tara made her an adorable Elmo cake and we had dinner and opened presents. She got some cute outfits, some shoes (which she swore didn't fit!), two puppy dogs, a Dora bed and a monkey riding toy. She loved all of her presents and we are so glad everyone could make it.

Kenzie's 1st 2nd birthday!!

On the weekend of the 5th my sister blessed and baptized her baby boy so we decided to have cake and ice cream for Kenzie's birthday in Pinedale. It was fun to be able to have my dad and step mom, grandma, and aunt and uncle there. They aren't always able to attend birthdays and such because they live so far away. Kenzie got some cute Dora Dolls and a big stuffed animal, clothes, a purse with all her necessities (phone, makeup and sunglasses) and she also got a bag of gummy worms (I'll post that story later). It was fun and I was glad to have so many family members there.

The city has also been doing some work down the street. They are making 1st East go all the way through so they have put a bridge and all kinds of stuff in. Here are some transformations we have seen...

That was our beautiful tree.

And they took the house on the corner down to make a park!!
