Rain, Rain, Go Away!

Normally Lauren does not take a nap, but she needed one this day and I guess she thought it was going to rain on her because there was clouds in the sky.....too cute!

Emergency Room Blues

So as I am trying to get the little ones to school, I get a call saying Amanda's in the nurses office. The call was from Amanda's phone, but it wasn't Amanda so I thought it was a prank call because after they said that the phone went blank. Then the school called and it was official she was in the nurses office with a heart rate of 180. I knew she had tacycardia, but she has not had an episode like this since she was little. When I got to the school -  (no they did not call the paramedics!!) her heart rate had not changed. We immediately went to the ER, but by the time we got there it had finally calmed down to 95, but the doctor saw us anyway. She was told after her EKG that she had Wolf Parkinson White Syndrome and that she would need surgery to take care of it. Amanda freaked out thinking they were going to cut her chest open. Later the nurse came in and explained that it would be an outpatient procedure and not to worry! Whew what a relief!! Anyway, we see the cardiologist tomorrow to find out more.

Got to love GREEN!

It is officially St. Patricks Day when the kids eat Lucky Charms with Green Milk and for snack have green cupcakes and green apples. I love it when my 4 year old says yuk when I poured the green milk over her cereal until she saw her big sister eat the cereal saying yummy!!
   

WoW!! She is 16 already!!

We were planning a big party for Amanda's 16th birthday, but since we were in the middle of a big moving fiasco we decided to take her and 5 friends to an amusement park. She decided Six Flags Magic Mountain would be the perfect place. So we loaded everyone up at 6am and drove 4 hours to have fun on some AWESOME roller coasters. 3 of the friends that went had never ever been to Magic Mountain which was awesome! So at the end of the day riding all the roller coasters that they could, they all deemed X2 was their favorite!
  

So after 10 hours of being at the park, we headed home and the kids were still going for awhile. At our last stop before coming into Vegas, Amanda decided she wanted to climb onto the top of the truck and stand! She is a goofball!!

HAPPY 16th BIRTHDAY AMANDA!!!!

Cowboy Theme

This week at preschool it was cowboy/cowgirl theme and the kids all got to dress up as cowboys and cowgirls. Lauren's teacher took these pics and sent them home. Too cute!

Elizabeth's Baby Shower

Today Amanda and I went to the Baby Shower for one of my other daughters who is about to have TWINS soon!! She was so beautiful and happy - I haven't seen her like that in a long time, but she has a long road ahead of her. She got everything she needed at the shower and she is set. Now just to figure out when they are due when the dr gave her a few week time frame for the due date (May 4 - May 22?? - REALLY). I think they will come sometime in April myself just as long as they are healthy! Oh man, I am going to be a grandma at 40!! Well at least I will be young enough to enjoy them! YAY.



Moving - Does it have to take soooo long??

We did finally move into our home - it only took weeks! No seriously, we were told that we would close on the 14th of January so we gave our notice and had to be out by the 4th of February and the house was still not closed until today!!! Thank our Heavenly Father for beyond GREAT friends who let us stay with them and all the beyond GREAT friends who offered a bed or a floor to sleep on as well as the beyond GREAT friends who helped us move and store stuff at their home during those two weeks!! My hat goes off to ALL who were involved and helped us through - you are truely Christlike examples to me and my family! Another great thing is that I love my new house!
