That's My Boy

I put the kids to bed at 8 and I've just been hanging out in the office playing on the computer. Ethan walks in with a large grin on his face completely dressed for school. He told me now I don't have to worry about getting dressed in the morning. I starting laughing and took his picture. I went through a similar phase when I was little. I figured if I slept in my clothes then I could sleep in. It's not being lazy we just know how to better manage our time. I like the thumbs up in his picture, just in case you didn't already know this was a good idea.

Happy Birthday Joshua

Our sweet little Joshua is now 2!! His birthday was on Wednesday. He's kid #4 at our house so his birthday was a little sad. We couldn't think of what to get him, we have plenty of boy toys, clothes, etc. Luckily I was at a PTA meeting the night before his birthday and the school was having a book fair so I got him some books and a puzzle. Then I forgot to wrap them so they were all in a sack. He didn't care, that's what is so great about little kids. The big kids immediately grabbed the books and have had them ever since. Here are some pictures of him and his cake.



This next one is of Bella cleaning him off. I thought it was pretty sweet and Joshua thought it was really funny.



Here is Joshua opening his sack of presents. I made sure he didn't rip the bag so we could reuse it on Ethan's birthday.

EEG

I had another EEG this morning. (I still have no idea what that stands for) I had to go in sleep deprived so I stayed up doing my laundry and then watched two movies. When my alarm went off this morning I wanted to cry but I got up and went on my run then showered and headed to Timpanogos Hospital. I had three people hooking me all up so it only took about 15 minutes this time, my last one took about 45 minutes just to get me hooked up. The guys were nice to take my picture and laughed when I told them I wanted it for my blog. I had a Pleasant Grove Vikings sweatshirt on and they asked me if I go there? I just laughed and said well a long time ago. It was nice that somebody finally guessed me younger than I am. The other day somebody guessed me in my 30's and when I said no they said oh you're in you're 40's? I go to the neurologist on Monday to get my test results.

If you're wondering why I'm getting another EEG done... at first the hospital told me mine was fine but when I met with the Dr. he told me it said I had, had a seizure. But because I had all the medicine in my system it could effect the test so I had the 2nd one done today to hopefully rule out seizures and make sure that it really was just an allergic reaction.

Take me out to the ball game...

For the last 8 years Johnny has played on a coed softball team. I think this is the first time I've remembered to take pictures of him, whoops! Their team is Vanilla Thunder and they are the defending champs from last year. They've only lost one game in the season, so way to go Vanilla Thunder!!

Johnny's Dream Weekend

Every year Johnny and my brothers-in-law go to one away BYU game. This year they went up to the Seattle game. They went to the football game that morning and then three hours after the BYU game they went to the Mariners and Yankees game. He got home Sunday afternoon and could barely talk from all the yelling at the games.

Happy News!!

It's official, I AM KIDNEY STONE FREE!! I am so happy it has been such a crappy summer of pain, surgeries, and hospital visits. I am feeling great and am able to start running again!! I have to have some more tests done to see if I had a seizure or an allergic reaction but we feel pretty optimistic that it was just an allergic reaction.

Sweet Joshua

Joshua really loves his baby sister Tess. He's the only one who tries to soothe her when she cries he tries to feed her baby food and it's the only sibling name he'll say (he calls her Tessers). So while I was making dinner tonight I laid Tess down so I could cook and I hear Joshua talking to her and laughing and this is what I found. The funny thing is she was laughing too. Crazy kids, well maybe crazy mom for taking pictures instead of hurrying to get him off of her.

First Day of School

My kids all started school this week. Ethan is in the 1st grade, Porter is in kindergarten and Bella is in pre-school. It has been really nice having them back at school I've actually found time to do something for myself. I thought Joshua would be sad that they were gone but he is happy to get more of my attention. I know the kids don't love wearing uniforms but I think they look so cute!
