I had to take Addison to the doc today because she was "dimpling in" when she breathed or "retracting" which basically means she is having a hard time breathing. Her sats were good when we got there Praise God!! She didn't have a temp (my kids don't run temps so that really doesn't matter much) Anyways the doc gave her a neb treatment and it seemed to work YAH!! Plus she had a double ear infection WHAT!!!! She has made no sign of her ears hurting her, not pulling on them, sticking her fingers in them, NOTHING!!! So needless to say I was surprised! So we left the doc and went and purchased a neb machine so we don't have to keep renting them and went and got her perscriptions. She is napping now and on the road to recovery!! We PRAY!!! We need her to get better before this new baby comes!! We need spring!! It is raining and cold so i can't open the windows today darn it!! Out with my lysol again I guess, spraying everything down and washing bedding. I think the kids are just giving this darn thing back and forth to each other because it hasn't been nice enough for the weather to kill it yet. Soon spring will be here and all the sickness will be gone! In the mean time we will be praying that God heals her quickly!

New Look

I had a friend come over today and show me how to make my blog look cool..this is the result! I learned so much today plus had a lot of fun! All the boys got to play to which was fun for them. Overall it was a good day! The weather still isn't nice but hey at least there is no snow. My parents who live in SD had there 2nd snow day in 2 weeks today. It is very unlikely for them to have the kind of crazy snow that shuts the whole city down! It melts fast but when it hits it hits.

I am on the search for a Buzz Lightyear doll and Woody doll. Right now Grayson is into Toy Story he loves Buzz!! Well today I found a Buzz doll!!! We went and checked it out and I bought it for $5!!!! It looks like it has been played with but owell my little man doesn't care!! My little man is loving playing with his Buzz doll. He is going around the house "to infinity and beyond" it's so cute!!!

I am feeling good, tired, but good! 16 days and counting. She still doesn't have a name, but that's ok by the time she comes home she will. My excitment is overtaking my nervousness which is good. My shower is this weekend and I SOOO excited!! I can't wait to celebrate with my friends!

End in sight

I went to the doc today. The end is in sight. Wednesday April 15Th our new little bundle of joy will come into this world to great us! My excitement is taking over my anxiety. I know the Lord will provide his grace for me to make it through this season of life. He is so good and faithful!! Today the I asked the doc if I could start getting my garden ready. He didn't say no...but I could tell he really didn't like the idea. So maybe my husband will have to get the garden ready and I'll just supervise, we'll see. He also checked me because Brandon is going out of town on Monday and Tuesday and we just wanted to see where I was because I've been having a lot of discomfort and contractions on and off. Well....I'm only 1/2 cm...how disappointing, I was kinda hoping I would go in and be like a 3 or something cool like that, no such luck! O well this is good, we don't really want her to come early because we don't have any help here yet. My parents will be out here Easter weekend just in time for her arrival. We are at 19 days and counting!!!

I had a lady from church come over last night and take some belly pics! They are absolutely wonderful if i say so myself!! I love them!! She is a wonderful photographer so if you want some info on her just let me know. She'll come to your house or whatever. She's GREAT!! Here's some samples!! I am almost 36 weeks in these. We are having a little girl!

It was a good Sunday today! Church was great! It felt so good to be back after being gone for 3 weeks because of illness. We are all finally on the mend. I went to the doc on friday, they put me on anitbodics. I am feeling better and my ear is healing. Since we were all feeling better we went to Red Robin for Grayson's birthday lunch after church. He had a great time getting sung to and eating his ice cream sundae. Grayson does this funny thumbs up when he likes something now. I have no idea where he got it from but it sure makes us laugh!

Grayson and his new fish

Last night we went out and got Grayson 2 goldfish and a fish tank for his birthday..he loves fish and always wants to look at them when we are at Walmart..so we broke down and he got some fish. There is a orange one and a tiny white one. He loves feeding them and just staring at them during the day, it's pretty cute

we also had a nice day today so the kids were able to play outside a little bit in the afternoon. We are all finally feeling better plus the fresh air helps a lot! The kids love being outside, we can't wait for the summer!

Brandon new summer toy arrived yesterday so he couldn't wait to put it together tonight when he got home. I can't wait to use it either, but I think I'm going to need a class on how to operate it. We'll be inviting people over this summer for good BBQing!

feeling like i'm alive again

Today is much better!! Praise God!! I am actually feeling like I'm alive today, which is great! My kids and Brandon are feeling better too! So today I'm going to try to get some much needed house work done but without over dueing myself. I know I'll be needing a nap soon. I think it's nice enough outside that i can open my windows and let the kids play outside! I also have been seeing that people are going to be starting there gardens. I had one last year but it didn't go so well so I need to be seeking out people who are pros. If anyone has any pointers I'd love to hear them. We have some busy weeks from now until the baby comes, it's going to be here before we know it!! I'm excited but i'm a little nervous about having 3 little ones at home. God is good though and he'll bring me through!!

I have a 3 year old!!

WOW I can't believe my baby is 3 today! I really want to take him to Red Robin so he can get sung to but we are all feeling so icky it probably won't be today, plus it's raining and cold..maybe later!!!

Grayson's 3rd bday

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO OUR BIG BOY WHO'S 3!!!

Grayson turns 3 on Monday the 16th but we celebrated today! We had a great day, a rough start but it ended great! Grayson (and the whole family) isn't feeling well and he wasn't excited to celebrate. It took him a little while but then he warmed up and had a great time! We had pizza, a monkey pinata, and cake. We had a great time. We had some difficulties with the pinata..his head broke away from his body but didn't spill any candy, so my brave husband held the pinata for the kids to hit it and break him open. Finally and after some help Grayson broke the pinata and all the kids ran in for the candy of their choice! The monkey cake was a hit too! We loaded all the kids up on junk and sugar and sent them home for a nap :) Grayson got some nice presents, so thank you all for everything. Thank you for sharing in our day! Thanks for making Grayson's 3rd bday so special. We cherish you all dearly.

baby Evelyn

We just went to the most precious Homegoing service. Friends of ours had a baby girl Evelyn, she had a heart condition and the docs weren't able to operate on her at Stanford in CA. They brought her home, here back to boise and she passed away last sat night. Today was her Homegoing service! It was so wonderful! Evelyn lived for just 12 days but she touched so many people coast to coast in that short time. My friends faith has been such and inspiration to me and many others. They never wavered in their faith. They trusted in the Lord and the Lord is bringing them peace and joy now knowing that there sweet baby girl is with him now!!! Please continue to pray for my friend Chris and Steph, for continued peace and Gods grace to be among them in the days, weeks, and months to come. We love you sweet baby Evelyn and we know that you are resting with Jesus...we are in awe of you that you are with him and someday we will all be able to see you again! Just click baby Evelyn and it will bring you to there blog if anyone wants to read about her! blessing to you!

Not just a little tear either!!! I had to take it all down and now I'm waiting for the new wallpaper to come in the mail so we can put it up again!! We were not very happy with her to say the least!!!! It was funny but not really!
