Dylan's lost tooth!

Also yesterday morning amide all the excitement Dylan lost his first tooth!

Sweet 3!

Kendall turns 3 today! I can hardly believe that 3 years ago she joined our family. Boy has she sure grown up. We decided to have just a little party with Isabella and Sydney. She was so excited!

This morning she woke up to her very own Barbie Jeep. We hadn't plugged in the battery early enough so she didn't get to drive it outside until this afternoon, but they had a ton of fun playing in it all day in the living room.

For her little party I made all the girls little tutu's. Wands to go with the "princess" theme and bracelets. They loved these. Thanks to Grandma Ogilvie who sent us how to make them.

The girls danced to some songs with their wands and ribbons, played, ate lunch and had cake and ice cream. What more could you want at a party!

A tinker bell cake for our little "princess" (She has a Tinkerbell costume as that is what she is going to be for Halloween)


Happy Birthday Kendall We love you!

A little slow

about 2 1/2 weeks before school started Zach's dad was kind enough to come visit and play with the kids for a few days while I attended Youth Conference. Then he stayed and helped Zach sheet rock the basement. We called it a working vacation. He said he did have a good time. Kendall still asks when grandpa is coming back and talks about going to see Ice Age with Grandpa. I think the kids might have had as much fun as he did. I should have left the camera with him instead of taking it with me becuase I didn't use it at Youth Conference. But here are a few of them working.







The boys have been in school for 3 weeks now and I'm just getting around to putting first day of school pictures up, but we have been pretty busy the last few weeks of summer and the first part of school. School is going well for both Dylan and Carter. They have great teachers who are excited to be there.





I started taking the girls, to library time the first week they read books about puppies and watched a short video/book about a puppy who didn't bark. Then they do a craft and they made puppy ears. I thought they looked so cute so I took this picture after we got home while they were eating lunch.


Another exciting thing that happened this summer is that Carter earned his wolf. He is still working on arrow points. He was very excited about this great accomplishment. It took me a while to get his patches on his uniform but he now has his uniform with all the patches and lots of belt loops too. He is a hard worker and very motivated. He loves going to scouts.


Last but not least Zach is doing much better. His back is healing slowly and things are pretty much back to normal around here. If this is what you call "normal".

Ice Cream

New Baskin-Robbins Ice Cream Flavor

In honor of the 44th President of the United States ,

Baskin-Robbins Ice Cream has introduced a new flavor: " Barocky Road ."

Barocky Road is a blend of half vanilla, half chocolate, and surrounded by nuts and flakes.

The vanilla portion of the mix is not openly advertised and usually denied as an ingredient.

The nuts and flakes are all very bitter and hard to swallow.

The cost is $100 per scoop.

When purchased it will be presented to you in a large beautiful cone, but then the ice cream is taken away and given to the person in line behind you, you are left with an empty wallet and no change, holding an empty cone with no hope of getting any ice cream.

Are you stimulated yet?

911

Last night I had my first experience calling 911. About 1 am I woke up to Zach saying his back was really hurting. We had decided to get a new bed and before we went to bed he had helped me carry most of the boxes up the stairs, That was probabally our first mistake. I gave him what we thought was a pain medicine and a muscle relaxer and tried to rub out the huge knots that were up and down his back. After about an hour the pain hadn't subsided and was starting to feel worse as he was getting more tired and nothing was helping. I gave him some Tylonal with Codiene in it. and waited another 1/2 hour. Now what nothing was helping. He couldn't even get out of bed it hurt so bad. So I called. 911. The ambulance showed up and they helped him get out of bed and carried him down the stairs in a wheel chair and took him to the hospital. Good thing we called them because if I would have taken him they said the Hospital that we would have gone to was closed. I called a neighbor to come sit with the kids. And then took off for the hospital. There we found out that what we thought was a pain reliever was actually just an anti-inflamitory. They gave him some meds through an IV and then again through the IV along with some Vicadon. He was feeling much better. They said that his back was swollen in the Catscan they had done and to follow up with his Primary Care doctor on Monday. We then were released to come hom. All in all only about 3 hours in the hospital. After filling his perscription he has been able to rest today and the swelling in his back is noticably lessened. The pain is subsiding and he isn't taking the pain meds every 3 1/2 hours now it is around 4-5 hours inbetween. Hopefully by Monday he will be feeling better. We are icing his back off and on too which also seems to be helping. He will get another MRI Monday, we are hoping for the best maybe a shot and some PT. We'll see. Hopefully not another surgury. I will let you know how things go.

Love to you all
Lynette

Not Much Going On.

Well, not too much going on here in Farmington. Things have been slow at work for Justin, which he loves, lazy bum:) The boys and I are getting along. The baby is measuring about five days earlier than my due date which is Halloween. I am really ready for this pregnancy to be over. It has been really hard, but I am a little freaked out at the prospect of having three kids, and having three rough and tumble boys for that matter. Kaden and Kaleb already wear me out, so to add a third in the mix will be fun. I have my next doc's appt on Fri, Aug 21st, and we will see how things are going. Probably just a normal check up. Then I go to two week appts and then it is really downhill from there. My friend, Erin, and neighbor, is due the end of Sept. we are about five week apart, so once she has her baby then I know it will go by really quickly. I am excited to see everyone in just a couple of weeks, but not looking forward to the heat. It has been only getting up in the high 80's and cooling down, and has been so nice. I guess that has been a nice thing to go through a summer up here and not down in Tucson again. I felt like I was dying already. Well see you soon!!!! (Well most of you!)
