In case you're wondering, we are all doing great. We are crazy busy like everyone else! Ryan is busy being the financial clerk and Elder's quorum secretary in our ward and holding down about 3 jobs and being a great Dad and husband. I am busy as Young Women's president, Mom of 3, running an at home business and working a graveyard shift once a week. Liam is busy wrestling, doing homework, reading and playing as much as he possibly can. We are struggling a little bit with his attention, so we are in the process of looking into that, but he is staying caught up in school and learning so much. Tessa is busy with joy school and loving being a Sunbeam at church. She is always so excited for Primary and loves to sing Primary songs. McKell is busy keeping up with the older two and doing everything they are. She is becoming such a little mommy! McKell loves Nursery, playing outside and shoes!</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;">We are loving this warm weather that is coming around and looking forward to outside time! We started with going to Hole in the Rock last weekend. It was so much fun and so beautiful. Here's to Spring!!!</div><div style="border-bottom: medium none; border-left: medium none; border-right: medium none; border-top: medium none;"><br />

Here is a little of what's been going on.<br /><div><br /><div>Ryan--started work with a new company so he could be closer to us. The hours haven't been much, so he has also been looking for and doing many side jobs from getting firewood, to building a retaining wall, to mechanicing. He is an amazing guy and works so hard to take care of us. I love him so much.</div><br /><div>Me--got put in as Young Women's President, yes, you read right. I had no idea how consuming it is, how much you think about it, but I am loving this opportunity and having fun. (If anyone has any activity or activating ideas, I would love to hear them.) I'm also staying busy with the three kiddos.</div><br /><br /><div></div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnteEFuDjhvDUwR2oTDR2iXisCBZG_rsLBscfKXich0F7XrRyP6gIpmatPv38F1uP5DsepJoE2lv9pfAxFF5cRN87XC3ha9erIvLKokLkNisxd6J3hJVy08OqIVgykGhChH4zFLvECbcF7/s1600/4-4-10+027.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5475302319663798066" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgnteEFuDjhvDUwR2oTDR2iXisCBZG_rsLBscfKXich0F7XrRyP6gIpmatPv38F1uP5DsepJoE2lv9pfAxFF5cRN87XC3ha9erIvLKokLkNisxd6J3hJVy08OqIVgykGhChH4zFLvECbcF7/s320/4-4-10+027.jpg" /></a><br /><br /><div>Liam--has only 2 days of school left, then he'll be a 1st grader, it has gone by so fast. He has done so well this year and learned so much. Liam is a good little reader and loves math. He is playing t-ball and looking forward to swimming lessons. Liam also learned how to rappel for Easter. It was awesome!</div><br /><div>Tessa--is a little talker! I still don't understand everything, but she is very good at telling us what she wants and picking up funny things to say. Tessa also has mastered pedaling her trike and can almost ride Liam's bike. She is such a joy and so funny.</div><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWuhhGnmulA8VrHPxATX7IvUvbkoB5hwJfGDwNEcmIlVg3LdqZkC4rq545Lmi0grr8f1aXOA1lX3SQvFJ2K8lp7IMDR00i8gQOIiHMVoDgMXJ-VMiYFwVQkeNGYXj8lbyVwj2HH6Zf0yo3/s1600/4-4-10+133.jpg"><img style="WIDTH: 320px; HEIGHT: 240px; CURSOR: hand" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5475302309906052530" border="0" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiWuhhGnmulA8VrHPxATX7IvUvbkoB5hwJfGDwNEcmIlVg3LdqZkC4rq545Lmi0grr8f1aXOA1lX3SQvFJ2K8lp7IMDR00i8gQOIiHMVoDgMXJ-VMiYFwVQkeNGYXj8lbyVwj2HH6Zf0yo3/s320/4-4-10+133.jpg" /></a><br /><div></div><br /><br /><div>McKell--is 9 months now and working on her teeth. We also found out she had an ear infection, and since that has cleared up, she is the funniest baby! She laughs at everything and has started scrunching up her nose and sniffing in & out really fast and laughing. It makes all of us laugh, too. McKell also really loves her brother and sister and is just content to watch them play (she hasn't started crawling yet).

We had been planning to this since the summer, so we spent the night in a motel so the kids could play in the pool.<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikbjkAyIjunCwOJcaj9RTeNMBmg8UA7ijYgoHRALRPuMfMoZYxJu2s7jilr7b1C2SHvyNtTU3gtXLjGQKOEHQuTz8nmZnQh9CJTiWXwxFNk3ZQaghb-cEystb2hdFqVLm3Tys9xq3W3hCK/s1600-h/1016091850b.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEikbjkAyIjunCwOJcaj9RTeNMBmg8UA7ijYgoHRALRPuMfMoZYxJu2s7jilr7b1C2SHvyNtTU3gtXLjGQKOEHQuTz8nmZnQh9CJTiWXwxFNk3ZQaghb-cEystb2hdFqVLm3Tys9xq3W3hCK/s320/1016091850b.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5402324944200620530" border="0" /></a><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhas3sU-5hmJVqp5dMJjqklfxSSlaJ_LBIP6Sf9hmQQXAqFRAdJWBgtn2sXQ9HLBMPaWvo8j8uaaa_7hX42g7ds81tsIXYOYUQIdG6LHW9UF1XKqEk6RP8iI7qHAYEQpneLj-poEojVpWUU/s1600-h/1016091852a.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhas3sU-5hmJVqp5dMJjqklfxSSlaJ_LBIP6Sf9hmQQXAqFRAdJWBgtn2sXQ9HLBMPaWvo8j8uaaa_7hX42g7ds81tsIXYOYUQIdG6LHW9UF1XKqEk6RP8iI7qHAYEQpneLj-poEojVpWUU/s320/1016091852a.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5402324946372373298" border="0" /></a><br /><br />The next day the kids and I just hung around St. George while Ryan took his LONG test.

She can be a mean little bugger and ornery, too. But we love her and can't imagine life without her.

It was awesome. The speakers were amazing and funny and had really timely messages. I really felt like I heard things that I needed to hear and things that I needed to be reminded of. I highly recommend it, I will definitely be going again!<br />We were able to go to my youngest sister's last home volleyball game (she's a Senior), and then she was invited to play in a 1A vs 2A all-star game which we went to see as well. She's is an awesome setter (I think, anyway) and just a good, fun girl. We love you, Airamee! Also, Liam's first semester of school ended a couple weeks ago, and he had been in extended-day Kindergarten for a little extra help. His teacher was excited to tell me that he doesn't qualify for that program this semester! He really has come a long way and learned a lot. Liam loves to sing his alphabet backwards now and tell me all the letters he sees everywhere. He also is learning to read and likes to 'read' me books. McKell just turned 3 months and is growing way too fast, she is turning into a chunky baby! She loves to smile, and tries to laugh, but mostly ends up with hiccups. I just love the baby sounds she makes! One night, we were just sitting around talking and she started gooing and gurgling really loud like 'I want in on this, too!'. McKell loves attention from just about anyone, but really likes it when brother and sister try to make her smile.

Shocked anyone? I sure am. We didn't find out what the gender was this time, so my whole pregnancy people were telling me it was a boy, and at the end Liam was positive he was having a brother. I had an amnio done at 37 weeks, and the lungs were very immature, so that gave people even more reason to believe it was a boy (because they develop slower). I told people I was going to shock everyone and the baby would be a girl, but I really didn't believe that. So when the doctor said, "It's a girl", I was shocked. I am so happy to have her here, and healthy, and to be home again (I had to stay in Cedar for almost two weeks to be close to the doctor). So anyway, enough of the boring story, meet McKell!!!<br /><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgPWoage3UzI1bhblocH-kHdUTYshNeIN1gtsyrkAXXkTjaggLwXpxEzSoHuO5ZpRQtU1YByFf8Di-JMT6_7ZBDPMP8KWBHE0_pdz147i09Kwlnbc6yRMxpIzD4ZvAjOqLy45HKPSmg2lsz/s1600-h/7-28-09+231.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer;

Everything from 'We All Sing with the Same Voice' to 'Happy Birthday' to the ABC song (always missing the m or n) to 'My Eternal Family'. I love to hear him singing primary songs, because he will not sing IN primary. Liam's Head Start teacher actually told me her only concern with him going to Kindergarten is that he's too quiet! I don't see that side much, he must bottle up all his noise to unleash at home.<br /><br />Liam also started t-ball. He's turning into a little slugger.<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIiL3VRggqdwOgLlC22LaHgyRlQ5CZVGcG6IJLFr2LllZcey03XVUh5hf8W-qz9fdTTWyNIU7zkVQ6JLppiJkZU4xasTHgw1aF7fw7R_i_F0dGFf787rpRSpWWIbuVV_Hm3L5nWF5HVFWD/s1600-h/5-6-09+073.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgIiL3VRggqdwOgLlC22LaHgyRlQ5CZVGcG6IJLFr2LllZcey03XVUh5hf8W-qz9fdTTWyNIU7zkVQ6JLppiJkZU4xasTHgw1aF7fw7R_i_F0dGFf787rpRSpWWIbuVV_Hm3L5nWF5HVFWD/s320/5-6-09+073.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5340631320391855042" border="0" /></a><br /><br />I had the best Mother's Day of my mothering career. I usually really don't like that day, but it turned out great. When we came home from church, I hadn't planned anything for dinner, so I made waffles, bacon, eggs and hashbrowns and it all tasted so good! (I'm kind of at a point where nothing sounds good to eat) Liam made a present for me in Head Start, a giraffe recipe holder, the kids made handprint lilies in primary, which turned out so cute and Ryan remembered ;) and got me new flip flops and some chairs for our front porch so I can look out and see this...<br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDFg0dYOJ3QyHpNvp3H4qd-FXvRLH02fBEnzzIGFUVZI5ibe1TE78PZOXLHJDUTpPXxhN1-Ft9EjUWgNr2IYmU1EpOL6my6cuhPO_Jm1EZttuAIKtNfQ7ssFHDaWlQsa2-d2n0alBqb0WY/s1600-h/5-6-09+089.jpg"><img style="cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 240px;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiDFg0dYOJ3QyHpNvp3H4qd-FXvRLH02fBEnzzIGFUVZI5ibe1TE78PZOXLHJDUTpPXxhN1-Ft9EjUWgNr2IYmU1EpOL6my6cuhPO_Jm1EZttuAIKtNfQ7ssFHDaWlQsa2-d2n0alBqb0WY/s320/5-6-09+089.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5340632998838306674" border="0" /></a><br />Yes, we have beautiful, lush, green grass. I LOVE it! It makes our house just that much cuter.<br />The only problem is that cute little girl in the doorway + the porch stairs + that little red trike. I wish I had a picture to share, but the sum of all that isn't very pretty. Tessa rode off the stairs on the trike twice in one week, and as luck would have it, landed on the same side of her forehead. She is such a tomboy, she's fearless.<br /><br />Anyway, we are just enjoying a lazy summertime and counting down the family birthdays til our new baby arrives!the Chidestershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09173300123396359645noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6523200864005879956.post-57556880283357607502009-04-10T10:54:00.004-06:002009-04-10T11:34:15.234-06:00PromThe biggest thing going on around here was my sister's prom last week, so here's a few pics.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_MdPhUHNy6hrwU6uh6Zz99ws-ANienh2UGNCukDHPRVrpR949b1uU7Z25dtm6g3dJQKIbP1eAeUwhCYgMGafXQVMLfC01l2YVu7HbE4mm0dORY72mSXDu4-n06RNm2HCk_84XticpSSD0/s1600-h/3-12-09+040.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5323111171057844242" style="WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj_MdPhUHNy6hrwU6uh6Zz99ws-ANienh2UGNCukDHPRVrpR949b1uU7Z25dtm6g3dJQKIbP1eAeUwhCYgMGafXQVMLfC01l2YVu7HbE4mm0dORY72mSXDu4-n06RNm2HCk_84XticpSSD0/s320/3-12-09+040.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><div><div><div><div><br /><br /><div><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEHUpOwjIBi_oN2D-lin_X4MtDCG6vFz8w9DCeROz7CijdQxZoMezAv1gtJM2aHAZSeNlYHIasHTjlnl536ftpivMwVSQIRbqnPzTmSFIFMB_350LqVKGxFGn69sqxYYOLxvAan2EJINXk/s1600-h/3-12-09+190.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5323111183122782114" style="WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgEHUpOwjIBi_oN2D-lin_X4MtDCG6vFz8w9DCeROz7CijdQxZoMezAv1gtJM2aHAZSeNlYHIasHTjlnl536ftpivMwVSQIRbqnPzTmSFIFMB_350LqVKGxFGn69sqxYYOLxvAan2EJINXk/s320/3-12-09+190.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-size:85%;">She won Dutchess!</span><br /><br /><br /></div><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQGwg-YpzfS7MvMXKgxo_c_4YaNxMAz-tRsgNYBI28Zm2fFnZSgka47rvyCfynN7mINNGyaF1sT6jHgcWR-eo75PzJNoE4RjPvSnq96k2hgiRgf4uYARGKpsSoBY1vSaUXEd5EDtE0mCUe/s1600-h/3-12-09+143.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5323111182888728226" style="WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjQGwg-YpzfS7MvMXKgxo_c_4YaNxMAz-tRsgNYBI28Zm2fFnZSgka47rvyCfynN7mINNGyaF1sT6jHgcWR-eo75PzJNoE4RjPvSnq96k2hgiRgf4uYARGKpsSoBY1vSaUXEd5EDtE0mCUe/s320/3-12-09+143.jpg" border="0" /></a></div><div><span style="font-size:85%;">Airamee & Tessa</span><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgS_ZpBYz1uhaMxngy7uDeYXSTPIAam6YTpFI1wgBh4myzLBl5rrGqp3lVO9McWWiUFz3IexdHUsfHqJtUsRtR3lmXcc6pm_YWDrO8Vfc1qDi2gc6dgphhxP-hJNri8tQ9Jpq5WRDaBjoKM/s1600-h/3-12-09+180.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5323111189691475378" style="WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgS_ZpBYz1uhaMxngy7uDeYXSTPIAam6YTpFI1wgBh4myzLBl5rrGqp3lVO9McWWiUFz3IexdHUsfHqJtUsRtR3lmXcc6pm_YWDrO8Vfc1qDi2gc6dgphhxP-hJNri8tQ9Jpq5WRDaBjoKM/s320/3-12-09+180.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><span style="font-size:85%;">Liam & Tessa dancing<br /></span></div><br /><br /><div>Here are some other just-because pictures.</div><div> </div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgU00LLRFtbvl9X-w3yCayGvINKKbjlFa5GPyOnSxszqK-pc0YIpN1hPh81QvZV8y2YGARK-icZPosLR4MSWE1ROccmY0VGoWo6FowZ4tDguazEhYDVYf8HUBxJ9BUN2Ra5y431QlehIcA/s1600-h/3-12-09+028.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5323113534001602130" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjgU00LLRFtbvl9X-w3yCayGvINKKbjlFa5GPyOnSxszqK-pc0YIpN1hPh81QvZV8y2YGARK-icZPosLR4MSWE1ROccmY0VGoWo6FowZ4tDguazEhYDVYf8HUBxJ9BUN2Ra5y431QlehIcA/s320/3-12-09+028.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjS5k5780FQviw2sVAAw70ymMH5kfvVCnUUayp4cEbLip0OUBjn8boB5Hu4gWbjLJvmiqJItzrWnHxqjQPSPH_7Aaxey9lic03uBpEqVGA0Jd4r3UM_wB9KvPzW_TTK6s_5ucpGbAlFMdaY/s1600-h/3-12-09+025.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5323113536815172642" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjS5k5780FQviw2sVAAw70ymMH5kfvVCnUUayp4cEbLip0OUBjn8boB5Hu4gWbjLJvmiqJItzrWnHxqjQPSPH_7Aaxey9lic03uBpEqVGA0Jd4r3UM_wB9KvPzW_TTK6s_5ucpGbAlFMdaY/s320/3-12-09+025.jpg" border="0" /></a></div><div> </div><div>Even though Tessa and Liam are over 3 years apart, they are really playing together now. It is so nice! Liam helps take care of Tessa however he can, like trying to put her shoe on when she loses it. And Tessa is always thinking of Liam first, if I give her a snack or anything, she always goes and gives it to Liam and then comes back for herself. They love each other so much!</div><div> </div><div>Here's a quick update on us. Tessa is almost 18 months, I can't believe it's been that long, but sometimes I can't believe she's only that young. She is finally starting to get some words out, but she yaks all the time. Tessa especially loves to talk on the phone. Liam will be out of school soon, but we have Kindergarten registration next week and T-ball starts the end of the month. He is so smart and loves letters. I am keeping busy with the kids, the house, Primary and working 2 days a week. I can't believe I am over halfway through my pregnancy! We are so excited for our new addition, Liam says it's a brother, I hope he isn't too disappointed if it isn't. Ryan is keeping very busy, thankfully. He is also getting everything ready to take his Journeyman test again, it's so stressful! I guess at least he can relax on the ATV we just got. Liam and Tessa love it, too. The helmet we have drowns Tessa, but she doesn't care as long as she gets a ride!</div><div> </div><div>Happy Easter all!</div></div></div></div></div>the Chidestershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09173300123396359645noreply@blogger.com4tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6523200864005879956.post-52543659241577754522009-03-09T13:36:00.007-06:002009-03-09T14:23:31.516-06:00All is wellOk, so it's been a while, I know. We just don't have really exciting things going on right now, but mostly I just haven't been taking pictures.

Tessa loves the road and runs to it as soon as she is let free outside (if I were reading this, I would assume some tragic accident is about to happen, but it doesn't). So, Ryan's parents were visiting and we were going to go for a drive. We were loading up the truck and Tessa heads for the road. Ryan goes to get her, and I hear her start crying. Apparently she slipped on some ice and bent over and hit her face on the ground. Ryan says, 'she's got a gash on her head' fairly calm-like (as husbands seem to have a way of doing) and I think it's not that bad, cause she's not screaming. Well, we get cleaning it up and decide we better take Tessa to the clinic for a 'good band-aid'. <div><div><div><br /><div></div><br /><div>This is how she looks...</div><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3gJGfHrAMXpOdqRpUhRCj2D3QvL26SsgzRdmwfKy-iLn20NPBPBabugCjkfyae_8wJyFJ72NKSYgmJmz0EcHrQvR-jjUkV1O_37NBJSR5XcuSW48KOA0mV5bx3IZh-BD2hyc8QPgmrL69/s1600-h/12-20-08+040.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5295450565389027250" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh3gJGfHrAMXpOdqRpUhRCj2D3QvL26SsgzRdmwfKy-iLn20NPBPBabugCjkfyae_8wJyFJ72NKSYgmJmz0EcHrQvR-jjUkV1O_37NBJSR5XcuSW48KOA0mV5bx3IZh-BD2hyc8QPgmrL69/s320/12-20-08+040.jpg" border="0" /></a></div><br /><div></div><br /><div>And this is how she acts as we're waiting for the doctor...</div><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBAvooNua2kF_1D63y0_INfjsZK_tooCBqG86qTmazmA7ZnBgQJLjGSYT2-GFIKbufCsUdDlMqPOx4TtzJ8vOL_W5Py3dzSpUKt1voOJdIi5n7OSee9BUyuvwOZkMcdlW9y10g2iNISCUJ/s1600-h/12-20-08+042.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5295450567892959858" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjBAvooNua2kF_1D63y0_INfjsZK_tooCBqG86qTmazmA7ZnBgQJLjGSYT2-GFIKbufCsUdDlMqPOx4TtzJ8vOL_W5Py3dzSpUKt1voOJdIi5n7OSee9BUyuvwOZkMcdlW9y10g2iNISCUJ/s320/12-20-08+042.jpg" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjweNBsmDKGxB_GNGULV8v5hvjAdJ2W2hw16nkJ2L552tPZT9ayr_d7uP4aoPfcalCnV368mZKQwxhKlDLO8ukfFfWtZNkGsq-nnNjwjgzR61G8Nh4iHDrOvAmTBPELTtf2AAjPPGhn3YOX/s1600-h/12-20-08+043.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5295450572065911714" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjweNBsmDKGxB_GNGULV8v5hvjAdJ2W2hw16nkJ2L552tPZT9ayr_d7uP4aoPfcalCnV368mZKQwxhKlDLO8ukfFfWtZNkGsq-nnNjwjgzR61G8Nh4iHDrOvAmTBPELTtf2AAjPPGhn3YOX/s320/12-20-08+043.jpg" border="0" /></a></div><br /><div></div><br /><div>Tessa was totally happy, crazy girl!</div><br /><div>So the doctor says we have two options, glue (which he wouldn't use on his own kids) or stitches. So we say stitches. He says, 'we have this stuff on a pad that we just place on her head to numb the area instead of giving her a shot'. We're like, awesome, less pain. The clinic didn't have have any, so glue it was. The doctor starts breaking the little tubes of glue, and, 10 tubes later, none of them work, in the meantime we are holding my little baby down on the table and she's screaming from being restrained. So, onto the stitches idea again. One numbing needle, 3 pricks, 3 stitches and an hour later, we are finally done.</div></div></div></div><br /><p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjt4AQP6hpj1fGz42I0_hDkv1141JtUDAylv7QhMhpt6_W8e15A6V5-EUH_9OXylf6UJ1L7t53vo_kt4W3z1UblG8ZOUK3l8V7LSIwtRI-sXQzH_iIPrCxYggDOEEsfcRSMC__xx_Apdgz3/s1600-h/12-20-08+044.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5295452946953691410" style="WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjt4AQP6hpj1fGz42I0_hDkv1141JtUDAylv7QhMhpt6_W8e15A6V5-EUH_9OXylf6UJ1L7t53vo_kt4W3z1UblG8ZOUK3l8V7LSIwtRI-sXQzH_iIPrCxYggDOEEsfcRSMC__xx_Apdgz3/s320/12-20-08+044.jpg" border="0" /></a></p><p>So we went through a week of the little comments you get from people when their face looks like this and has a band-aid across the forehead. You know the ones, like 'what happened!?!' 'what did you do to her!?!' 'stop beating on your kid!' so you feel like the worst parent ever. But, here we are almost a week later, the stitches are out and she is totally fine, thank goodness. Now, time will tell us how bad the scar will be on her pretty face.

We didn't know until after that his cancer had spread to his back and tailbone, which was very painful. We fell so blessed to have got to spend this time with Grandpa and watch him enjoy this long hike with us, especially since he passed away in October. Liam hiked pretty much the whole way, and we all took turns carrying Tessa (she was only about 4 months).</div><br /><div></div><br /><p align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4TwE0ZljJd6yOiPbR1OUTKgo5F6AqY2ORNUOkmPmQIYcNrP3ZGPLxH0PtSYjwbCogUVSpTIQKiY-bMwBq2IdH_g2GW8ZNl6xBdi1wpONt1q-9B5It4GCjxtDLTJZFn_Dfwai7dnnasmZe/s1600-h/3-22-08+2+303.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5277887340132814354" style="WIDTH: 150px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh4TwE0ZljJd6yOiPbR1OUTKgo5F6AqY2ORNUOkmPmQIYcNrP3ZGPLxH0PtSYjwbCogUVSpTIQKiY-bMwBq2IdH_g2GW8ZNl6xBdi1wpONt1q-9B5It4GCjxtDLTJZFn_Dfwai7dnnasmZe/s200/3-22-08+2+303.jpg" border="0" /></a></p><br /><br /><div>In June, Liam got to play T-ball. He had so much fun, and it's a hoot to watch the little kids! One girl would always swing herself completely around when she was trying to bat. Liam preffered to play in the dirt when he was in the outfield.<br /></div><br /><p align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbtmVKUg5Uwjz_NMd5ziZe9FyhL0NxbIvIQN4qpF79hnjqzfferXpGu0c6fZ2acFBIpBd_0HTDJjseDSjOcp_RxrMtxxJ3XwKTJwBXAEIZFHXgR2l4JG7SdHn76fGZubukQL-soV8DLdfP/s1600-h/6-5-08+022.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5277892983578653490" style="WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbtmVKUg5Uwjz_NMd5ziZe9FyhL0NxbIvIQN4qpF79hnjqzfferXpGu0c6fZ2acFBIpBd_0HTDJjseDSjOcp_RxrMtxxJ3XwKTJwBXAEIZFHXgR2l4JG7SdHn76fGZubukQL-soV8DLdfP/s200/6-5-08+022.jpg" border="0" /></a></p><br /><br /><p align="left">We also have actual proof that he hit the ball...<br /></p><br /><p align="center"><br /><br /><iframe allowfullscreen='allowfullscreen' webkitallowfullscreen='webkitallowfullscreen' mozallowfullscreen='mozallowfullscreen' width='320' height='266' src='https://www.blogger.com/video.g?token=AD6v5dxUra2Uob2Z7rW5lStgZvwqf9k685mFHjgVH16_h6mXVIDzkEAM5v3mnRICSyk8Ho0Idr2tCVUhUHYA0YsGLQ' class='b-hbp-video b-uploaded' frameborder='0'></iframe></p><br /><br /><p align="left">Since my birthday was 08.08.08 and I turned 25, my family all went to Lagoon with me for the day. It was nice to spend the day with them doing something fun. And as much fun as it is to ride the rides, it was so much more fun to watch Liam as he looked at the big rides and got to ride some himself. He still talks about it and says, "I want to go to Lagoon", all mopey-like.</p><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><p align="left">September was a great month. Liam was doing well in Head Start, Tessa started walking, Ryan & I got to spend our 6th anniversary overnight in Mesquite, and we moved from a 2 bedroom trailer to this ginormous house...<img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5278672480329548338" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEia8NJ-3Oimb2wKATUof6YTp-EeWEOW9GQ5QSajuvv6SzTBHPdkpYOLDzEqhOhArIPNJ8AdFzyDklWoX3FgdHNnN7ahf73FRX7fr1rn0fDswOmQAXRvDBaqVQa0zVZJEQLGWCh0xQMu4le3/s200/9112008+032.jpg" border="0" /></p></div><br /><p>It's old and brick and has so many wood accents and a gorgeous wood staircase, and needs a lot of work, but I LOVE it!!! We are just renting, but we are hoping and praying that we can buy it. It is so fun being in a house with tons of room.</p><br /><p>So, September was awesome, October, not so much. Ryan learned on his birthday that his grandpa and my grandpa were both hospitalized. Both had Prostate cancer that had metastisized to their bones and were dealing with complications from that. Two days later, my grandpa passed away, followed by Ryan's 3 days later. So we attended funerals that following Saturday & Monday. During this, Tessa was on antibiotics for a slight ear infection. The last day of her course of Amoxicillin, we took Liam in to the doctor because he was running a high fever. Our clinic was closed that day, so we had to take him to Panguitch, an hour away. Liam tested positive for Strep and was put on Amoxicillin. About a week later, on Tessa's 1st birthday, I noticed spots behind Liam's ears and on his neck.</p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5278678721993147762" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 150px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 200px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg6IbjMnTzIzLc1cwh71aibOICr-qIts7g-4hTOkc3ejetriifq1aiCLdA9VT1A3BD5Mlq_sRX46aTPgQxDDio6PnnNGvU8eM_mk41MN2NFpBKTmbT8H-GIDujjpCKsPX_F1pC5l0N-gFdo/s200/10-13-2008+052.jpg" border="0" /><br /><br /><p>So, to the docter we went again. She told me that it looked like what they call an Amoxicillin reaction, where the antibiotic was mixing with a virus he had, so she told me to stop giving him the medicine. Liam's spots turned into hives which swelled later that night and into the next day, til he looked like this...</p><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5278678744264789554" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 200px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrzY2LGfTe1wzE-XLtZ05g-GLnlavWvNucatMdwLxW9DFVzSebAhcAico6FJLh3O97xG6UUPoNdF3g_Rgeq9XD_xhlInEPSlV0YN6u71Y3NOUF5oZFWkyeq4Bt_FCb6xwo-summ2off8XZ/s200/10-13-2008+118.jpg" border="0" /><br /><br /><p>So, we ran to Panguitch, again, to the ER. We found out that Liam is allergic to Penicillin. Liam had a Prednisone shot in the butt and a new antibiotic prescription (because he was suppose to use the entire 10 days, not just 7) and we were given instructions to keep him on Benadryl til the hives went away and on Tylenol to keep the fever down. Thankfully the shot cleared up the swelling and his face in a couple of hours, and the hives went away completely in about a week, just in time for Halloween.</p><p>We were able to see almost all the grandmas and grandpas within about 3 days of Christmas, so it was a great holiday season this year to be able to spend time with a lot of family. We are so thankful for the many blessings we have and look forward to a new year and new experiences with our fun family.</p></div>the Chidestershttp://www.blogger.com/profile/09173300123396359645noreply@blogger.com2tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6523200864005879956.post-67082826519596050422008-12-19T10:44:00.006-07:002008-12-22T14:29:34.009-07:00Random thingsWell, we've been hit by a lot of snow (we have at least a foot) and it finally seems like it's Christmas time.
