Popo Motorcycle!

A couple weeks ago Chris worked overtime at the Las Vegas Marathon. His regular shift was from 2 pm- 12 am then his overtime started at 3 am- 10 am. With us not living in Vegas he just went and waisted the 3 hours at his station. So I knew he was going to be very tired and I made him promise me that if he was even a little too tired that I would come and get him. He decided that he was WAY too tired to drive home, so me and the kids hopped in the car and went and got him. The kids were really excited to see daddy's motorcycle because it had been a while since they had seen it!

We just had to take a picture of Kissy wearing Daddy's helmet because the last time he had a picture with it he was sitting in it! So crazy how much he's grown in the last 10 months!

Moved "white grandma" up to Ogden.

Chris' mom moved up to Ogden a few months back, but most of her stuff was still here in a storage shed so about 3 weeks ago we took a trailer full of her stuff and took it up to her. The kids always like to spend time up there with White Grandma and they can't wait to go back!

I just thought this picture of them sleeping was SSOO sweet!! They are such good little buddies!

Family Pictures

This year we went to JCP for our Christmas cards. The pictures turned out all right!

Enjoying the nice weather!

Back about a month ago before it got colder the kids loved to go play outside like all day!

Allie came into me from her room and said that she wanted to go outside and play and I told her as long as she had a coat and shoes on, she was ok to go outside. This is how I found her outside! I love my little Allie Nallie!!
And here's a picture of my Moose just because he's a stud!

Halloween... yes, from 2 months ago!

I have been really bad at keeping up on my blog lately, but with the New Year in like a day I thought that I better get caught up! If I even get a little bit behind I just kinda get overwhelmed and get further and further behind!

So.. for Halloween this year Chris had to work :( but on the day before Halloween Nadja and Nathan threw a party that was really fun! There was lots of good food and it was really fun for me to dress up because it had been years since I had! Davis, Allie and Kissy were all Pirates!! They were the cutest little pirates too! I was a witch (which is fitting some days!).

On Halloween night Davis was the Black Spiderman and my mom and I just took him and Allie to 3 houses and they were satisfied with the candy that they got!

9 months

Little Kissy is 9 months! I can't believe how fast time has flown. He is a good boy and LOVES to give kisses! He also thinks that his cousin Cam (who is 2 weeks younger, but looks at least 2 months younger) is his personal living toy! We love him so much and love his cute personality!



But since I have been such a blog slacker I will just give updates on his accomplishments and when he accomplished them!

• 2 teeth- got them at about 6 months


• crawling- 7 months


• pulling himself up to standing- did it the first time on Halloween


• waving hi- last couple weeks


• his latest thing is to walk pushing things

Poor baby!

On Tuesday October 20th Christopher was taking a nap and when he got up we noticed that he had thrown up. So we cleaned him and his bedding and didn't think anything of it because he acted fine the rest of the night. Then the next morning he threw up a couple more times and had diarrhea. We fed him bananas, pedialite and gave him some ibuprofen. That stopped him from throwing up, but the diarrhea continued. He wouldn't eat anything or even drink anything other than milk and that just made it worse, but it kept him peeing! Then on Thursday night he wouldn't even drink his milk so we started to get worried about him becoming dehydrated. I decided that I would call the doctor first thing on Friday morning. I was just getting ready to call when my mom called me and said that she was talking to an EMT and the EMT said to just go straight to the ER because he had all the signs of being dehydrated. So we hurried out the door and headed to Mesquite. He was definitely dehydrated so they got an IV going (which I think I cried just as much as him when they put it in!) and took about 1 1/2 hours and a lot of fluid to get him to pee.

A few days earlier we had also noticed that when we would stand him up, he wouldn't put any weight on his right foot. So I just decided to bring it up to the doctor. I was wondering if maybe he had an infection that maybe settled in his hip (that happened to my niece Matty). So they took his blood and the doctor kinda played with his legs while he was laying down and his hips didn't really seem to bother him. After the blood results came back it was negative for infection so they decided to do an x-ray. After doing an x-ray on his hips and whole right leg they found that he has a fracture in his right foot! Crazy!! How does an 8 month old baby that can't even walk get a fracture?! After being questioned as to whether we abuse him, we came to the conclusion that he probably got a fracture from one of the kids falling on his foot. He loves to play with the big kids and that's really the only thing that makes sense!

Now his diarrhea has stopped and he has his apatite back! His foot bothers him every so often but doesn't seem too bad. Oh and they didn't have to put on a cast or anything because he doesn't walk so it will just heal itself!

We are just SSOO glad that he's feeling better and no one else caught it!
