SICK, TEETHING, AND MISERABLE TO SAY THE LEAST!!

LATELY OUR HOUSE HAS NOT BEEN TO MUCH FUN TO BE AROUND. IT SEEMS AS THOUGH WE HAVE CAUGHT A CYCLE IN THE WICKED COLD THAT IS GOING AROUND AND WHEN ONE OF US FINALLY KICK IT-SOMEONE ELSE GETS IT. HALLE HAS HAD IT FOR QUITE A WHILE AND IS NOW FACING A TERRIBLE BARKING COUGH AND HAS HAD SOME VERY SLEEPLESS MISERABLE NIGHTS FOR ALL INVOLVED. SHE IS ALSO GETTING HER TOP TWO MOLARS AND ONE OF HER CANINE TEETH ON BOTTOM AND THOSE ARE CAUSING QUITE A BIT OF PAIN IN HER LITTLE MOUTH. ALL I CAN SAY, THANK GOODNESS FOR MOTRIN. I ALSO HAD HER WEENED OFF THE BOTTLE COMPLETELY FOR ABOUT 2 WEEKS AND AFTER ONE SLEEPLESS NIGHT I GAVE IN. IT WAS A COMFORT TO HER AND AT THAT POINT, I WOULD HAVE GIVEN HER ANYTHING SHE WANTED. THE PA I WORK FOR TODAY CHECKED HER EARS FOR AN EAR INFECTION, JUST IN CASE. THEY LOOKED FINE AND SO DID HER THROAT. I GUESS THE COUGH THAT IS GOING AROUND CAN TAKE UP TO SEVEN WEEKS TO GET RID OF SO WATCH OUT. SHE DID REALLY GOOD TODAY AND SEEMS TO BE GETTING BACK TO HERSELF AGAIN SO WE WILL KEEP OUR FINGERS CROSSED. BUT, JARED HAS A SORE THROAT TONIGHT. OH NO! I BETTER KEEP THESE TWO SEPERATED AND THE HOUSE CLOROXED. OTHER THAN THAT, (ON A POSITIVE NOTE) WE HAD THE DUDLEY'S AND THE WILDE'S AND THEIR FAMILIES OVER FOR HAMBURGERS AND MILKSHAKES THE OTHER NIGHT. WE HAD A BLAST, THEY ARE SUCH GREAT PEOPLE AND AWESOME FRIENDS. WE LOVE THEM! THANKS FOR COMING TO PLAY!(SORRY NO PICTURES THIS TIME....)

FEEDING THE DUCKS AND RANDOM HALLE PIX!

TODAY NIKI AND I TOOK THE KIDS ON A WALK OUT BY THE DUCKS. IT WAS SUCH A NICE MORNING AND WE WANTED TO GET OUT OF THE HOUSE BEFORE THE STORMS CAME AGAIN. WE ALWAYS LOVE A GOOD LONG WALK OUTSIDE. WE FED THE DUCKS SOME CORN POPS THAT TREVY SPILLED IN THE CAR, AND THEN AFTERWARDS WE TOOK THE KIDS TO A PARK NEARBY FOR A PICNIC. BY THIS TIME, THE WINDS HAD PICKED UP AND IT WAS A BIT COLD AND ALL THEY WANTED TO DO WAS PLAY ANYWAYS. NIKI AND I ATE AND THEN TOOK THE KIDDIES HOME FOR LUNCH AND NAP TIME. WE ARE SO LUCKY TO HAVE THEM SO CLOSE AND THANKFUL THE KIDS LOVE HANGING OUT SO MUCH. THANKS FOR PLAYING!

HERE IS TREVOR, HALLE, AND MERLIN ENJOYING THE DUCKS!

TREVOR LOOKS A LITTLE NERVOUS....

HALLE LOOKS SCARED OUT OF HER MIND....

I SWEAR, THIS DUCK WAS GETTING READY TO EAT US FOR LUNCH!

WE HAVEN'T TAKEN ANY RANDOM TUBBY PIX FOR AWHILE, AND JARED FELT THE NEED TO TONIGHT. WOW, COMPARING THESE TO OLD PICTURES, SHE IS GROWING UP SO FAST....ENJOY!

JARED TRIED TO DO THE FOHAWK LIKE WHEN SHE WAS YOUNGER. HER HAIR IS TO LONG, IT JUST FALLS OVER! YAY! KEEP GROWING~

LOVE THE BEAUTIFUL, BIG, BLUE EYES!

WE HAVE BEEN SO BUSY!

SORRY IT HAS TAKEN ME SO LONG TO POST, BUT OUR LIFE HAS BEEN BUSY LATELY. TWO WEEKENDS AGO WE WENT TO UTAH TO HELP MY SISTER AND HER FAMILY. THEY ALREADY LIVED HERE, BUT ALL THERE STUFF WAS IN STORAGE IN UTAH. WE WENT DOWN ON FRIDAY AND SATURDAY AND HELPED. IT WAS GREAT WEATHER AND ACTUALLY QUITE FUN TO BE HONEST. JARED HAD TO WORK, BUT HALLE AND I WENT TO HELP. THAT NIGHT, WE WENT TO DINNER AND THEY GOT ALL OF US ROOMS TO STAY IN. THE NEXT DAY WE CAME HOME AND HELPED THEM MOVE IT IN.. EXTREMELY SORE AFTER THAT ONE.

STARTING THE ROAD TRIP, I ACTUALLY DROVE, NIKI SAT IN THE BACK WITH THE KIDS, AND TROY SLEPT UP FRONT! GOOD KIDS-LOVE THEM!

DON'T FORGET MERLIN. HE ACTUALLY RAN AWAY AT THE HOTEL THAT NIGHT. I RAN OUTSIDE TO FIND HIM. AS I WALKED UP TO PERFECT STRANGERS IN THE PARKING LOT WHILE IT WAS PITCH BLACK, THEY THOUGHT I WAS NUTS. THEN I ROUNDED A CORNER AND FELL ON THE ICE. I AM SURE WATCHING IT WAS PRICELESS, HOWEVER; MY HIP WASN'T PRETTY AFTER THAT ONE.

HALLE'S SLEEPING ACCOMODATIONS-SHE LOVED IT! WE ENJOYED OUR FIRST GIRL'S NIGHT AWAY FROM HOME. MANY MORE TO COME!

AS YOU CAN SEE, THE HOTEL ROOM WAS NICE AND FUN. HOWEVER, HALLE GETS TO WATCH HER SHOWS, HENCE MICKEY ON THE TV. OH WELL!
IT WAS A LONG TRIP HOME, CARAVANING WITH THE UHAULS!

THIS PAST WEEKEND. MY STEP BROTHERS AND SISTERS SUFFERED A GREAT TRAGEDY. THEIR STEP FATHER WAS KILLED TRAGICALLY IN AN AVALANCHE IN ALPINE WYOMING. HE DIED ALONG WITH 2 OTHER FRIENDS, ONE MORE WENT BUT WAS ABLE TO GET OUT. LAST NIGHT WAS THE VIEWING AND WE WENT TO SHOW OUR LOVE AND SUPPORT. THEN COME TO FIND OUT, MY 4TH GRADE TEACHER, MRS. PAM CARTWRIGHT, HAS BEEN SICK FOR A LONG TIME AND PASSED AWAY UNEXPECTEDLY ON MONDAY. I WILL BE GOING UP TO HER VIEWING ON FRIDAY WITH MY MOM AND STEP-FATHER. SO, THAT HAS KEPT US VERY BUSY ALSO. WHAT A TRAGEDY FOR THE WHOLE COMMUNITY! OTHER THAN THAT, JUST BUSY!
