Kidney Stones

Things never slow down here!! I was needing all this sleep and never got it, So I wrote my last entry and the moment I got off the computer I was feeling a very sharp stabbing pain in my left side. Then the pain goes into my back and I start feeling very sick, So I rush to the bathroom and Lay by the toilet for a good 30 minutes, feeling as if I was taking my last few breathes. I was going over all the possibilities of what happened!! The flu, or food poisoning, or my IUD was cramping up- the only thing I knew I s I was in more pain then delivering my kids!! So Cody came home got Katelyn off to school and we decide to go in!! It takes alot to get me into the doctos so that is how much pain I was in!! I go to Quick care and they tell me the wait is over an hour- UUGH!! So we go to the ER- still vomiting and feeling very weak, light headed and in pain!! I get back there and when the doctor comes back we go over everything and he says- IM STUMPED! At that point I was like great- another one of these doctors- So they gave me the flu test- negative, they gave me a urine sample and came back and said there was blood in it they decided to do a CT Scan and it shows multiple kidney stone!! The one that is giving me grief is a very large size- more like a rock!!! then they also found a cyst on my right side that was over the size of a golf ball So they did an ultrasound to make sure that is what it was and that was correct, it is either going to pop on its own or shrink back down so they were ruling that out of the concerns!! they kidney stones he said were serious and most people get admitted but since I was doing ok he said that I would be ok to go hime but if anything happens to go straight back in, until it passes I must drink lots, get rest and take medicine for the pain and one to open my urethra to help pass it more smoothly. They said it could be a week or longer to pass this because of its size!!! So I am home feeling discomfort but I am doing ok!! I asked them about Quick Care and they said I would have got sent to the ER anyways!! I was at the ER for appox. 7 hours- That was a long time!!! I have to also follow up with a specialist in a week-UUGH more doctors!! Last night was up and down too!! But I am greatful for my mom who came over last night and cleaned my whole house- bless her!! And all my friends who have been so willing to help in any way they can!! I have the BEST family and friends!!

Needing Sleep??

Do you ever get those days that you cant get to sleep at night and then you wake up early in the morning, hoping that you will fall back asleep but never do??? That is me right now! I had a busy day yesterday, due to that I took on a childcare position available and am watching 3 kids here at my home, they are really sweet kids and they were so good together on my first day!!! I have them 2 or 3 days a week and it is great to have them here!! So, last night we had a birthday party to go to and then got home around 8:45 or so... Watched Jon and Kate plus Eight- one of my favorites!! That woman is amazing!! And then tried to go to bed around 10:00, not to early but not to late, guess what, I couldnt sleep, I looked at the clock the last time at 12:02. Then when cody got up this morning at 5:45 I was up too.... I stayed in bed for about 30 min and decided I should get up cause at that point I was frustrated that I can not sleep!! And oh yeah, Bryce comes in at 2:45 and decides he wants to sleep with mommy and Cody wants the whole bed and a Queen just is NOT big enough!!! So anyways, I am up for the day and now fell better cause I got it off my chest!! The whole point to this is: I love sleep and I didnt get it!!!

I couldnt believe how well it turned out!!! I am in love!!!! My husband loves it and my kids still know me!!! Anyways, It was great to have a break and do something for myself!! It was much needed and I feel a bunch better!! So I took a few pics but my makeup isnt done so only look at my hair!! let me know what you all think!! And also for the first time ever I got my eyebrows waxed!! And it hurt very much but they look better!!

Birthday Party

All the kids at his the first Birthday Party

So we had a great birthday party for Bryce, who will be turning 3 on Wednesday!!! He sure made out on the presents, it is like Christmas all over!! And since the boys are so close in age Austin is having a blast too!! The was great too!! Bryce is oficially 34 lbs and 38 inches tall!! He is healthy and getting big!!! We picked up his Deigo cupcakes and went to get lots of Balloons and then came home and Decorated the house!!! The best part of that was it was just me and Bryce so he really felt apart of all of it!! And when one of the balloons popped he said " my balloons is broken" almost in tears. So that was pretty cute!! everyone started showing up and we all had a blast with Pizza and cake and ice cream!! Thanks to all that came and we missed those who didnt!!! Here are a few pics of Bryce on his 3rd Birthday!!!

Bogus Basin Tubing

Last night we went up to Bogus to do the tubing there. It was a blast.... The first time down was a little intimidating for the kids but after that we had Austin spinning on his tummy and doing it by himself, he is ready for another day of it. Katelyn pretty much did everything with my cousin Ashley and she said she had a blast!!! Bryce said he was done and ready to go home after everytime going down but he was a trooper and once he got back to the top he was saying one more, he only sat out 1 time... At the end everyone had a blast, it was a must do every year!!! The whole family went so there was a total of 15, It was a fun day. We got to go down together holding on to one another tubes and that was the way to go with all the weight it was so fast and fun!!! We even got Bryce screaming!!! The sessions were 2 hours long and I wish they were longer!!! And Cody and I got the last time down so we finished it off right!!! I didnt get pics but I sure wish I would of!!

the things accomplished....

The previous one I was saying the things I need to do well that day I did nothing... Sat around, ate some goodies and did NOTHING!!! It was great. So that night I put the kids to bed early and had a little time to my self and got to sleep all night long, due to Bryce went and slept with Austin and not me!!! I so needed the sleep!! I woke up feeling great and energized and in the last two days I have gotten that list plus much more and I enjoyed it!!! I am happy again and my kids are loving me more!!! As most of you know I am tidy alittle bit of a clean freak, so today I see why I jsut can't stop. When something gets on my mind it just has to be done!!! Something must be wrong with me and thanks to my mom I definitely get that from her!!! But I feel great and I notice when I am in a good mood the kids are in a good mood!!! It is great my house is clean and I am happy as can be!!! This is the new tidy toy room!!! It is great!!

one of those days

Have you ever had one of those days were you feel overwhelmed by the things that you have to do? That is how I am feeling today. I don't know where to start, I kept putting things off and now I need to get things done. The house work, Austin has school, Katelyn has an assembly that we have to go to, and Cody is working overtime. I feel totally rushed. I hate cooking too so breakfast, lunch and dinner are always a bummer to figure out. I wish it could just appear on the counter made!!! To top it all of I have to do a million phone calls and I know I will be put on hold through half of them. UUGH!!! The kids are in a good morning this morning so they will help out I am sure. No one is clingy this morning, I have space to do it so I better go!! Let you all know how it goes and how much I got accomplished!!!

School days

So as most know we have 2 kids in school, Katelyn who is in 1st grade and Austin who is in pre-school. The kids are both doing awesome in school. We just found out that Katelyn is going to be presented the positive people award in front of the whole school tomorrow. We are very proud to have a daughter like her. And Austin he has finally came out of his shell. He is writing his name and just having a blast with all the friends. Bryce gets to play with some little friends of his own while Austin is at school. We go to Artic Circle during the winter and let 3 of the kids play together. It is really good for him as well. Now, that the kids are all getting older it makes me wonder what to do with my life. Photography is a passion and something that I am naturally good at and really enjoy doing... So I am going to go back to school and take some classes and pursue a career in it. I just got a great camera and excited for it to warm up and get some shots snapped. Any one looking for photos let me know for the spring? As far as the kids go, I am very excited for them all to be great at all they do and for Katelyn to get that award is AWESOME. We are proud of you SIS!!!

Lazy days

Today is going to be the day where we don't clean, we don't go anywhere, we dont do anything. This morning my husband, Cody let me sleep in and he brought breakfast in bed, it was so sweet. We are now sitting around watching movies and playing games withthe kids!!! How fun is that? It never happens cause we are always on the go. I think this is my favorite day!!!

Friends

Tonight was kindof interesting. Cody and I took our kids and some friends' kids of 3 ages 4, 2, and 3 months old to Carl's jr. That was interesting due to the fact that the place was packed.... the kids had a blast and it was nice to let my good friends, Calise and Kellen go out on a date night, just mom and dad. After they came over to get ther kids we started playing cards, and laughing alot. It is so nice to have adult activity, other than your husband. we talked about nothing really but it was really fun. Game nights are so fun, we should trade house every weekend.... we had a blast watching the 3 kids and would do it again for sure. watching a baby though makes me think of having another, uh- oh Cody watch out!!!

Cleaning

Today was the day of cleaning. I feel like cleaning is a waste of time due to the fact that I know toys will be out again and laundry will always be there and the bathrooms, well we all use them.... But I feel if I don't do the house work that my kids will be living in germs!! I am a fairly organized person but somedays I really wish I didn't care to much!!! I like days to be different and cleaning is always the same!!!
