September

I decided to go to SAMs club with the kids. As we were walking in an elderly gentleman said "you better have those kids sit down or they are going to get hurt!". I thought to myself, "thanks old man" and then ironically Liv did a backflip out of the shopping cart as I was checking out. She landed right on her face and blood was everywhere. I grabbed her and tried to stop the bleeding while others were helping calm Conner and Celeste who were freaking out. People were sooooo helpful and kind. It made me feel good in a bad situation. Poor liv. She was black and blue for 2 weeks.

Apple Hill

On saturday Oct 13 we went to Apple hill. We had a lot I fun and it was nice doing something as a family. They had a fish pond that the kids loved, we saw horses, pumpkins, bought apples, had dinner and pie, and just walked around. The weather was beautiful. Here is the closest thing to the kids standing together as I get ;-))

Hot hot summer

Sacramento has been over 100 degrees lately. So it's a little more challenging finding things to do so we aren't in the heat all day. So we met our friends at the children's museum this week. The kids had a ball. We haven't been for several months and it seems like they enjoy it more each time we go. Celeste loved the water. She would splash and try to catch the water in her mouth. Liv loved to paint. She would get paint all over then sign "dirty" and get more paint on herself. Conner loved to play store with the cash register, money, and food. He has wanted to help me pay whenever we go anywhere now.

We have a crawler!!

Celeste started crawling when we were visiting my parents on July 27. She had just turned 9 months old. She also got her first tooth 2 days prior. She's growing too fast!!!

Conners urgent care visit

While playing at a friends house, Conner managed to trip on their hardwoods and cutt open his chin. So we got to go to urgent care. Thank heavens for dermabond!! She was able to glue it without doing any stitches!'

Sick celeste

My poor Celeste is sick. She has ha diarrhea for 3 days and a fever. I took her in this am to urgent care and she has bilateral ear infections. Poor thing. Hopefully she will start feeling better!! The md thought she was a little boy. Unbelievable!!

Worst trip ever

My sister and my three neices came to visit me about 3 weeks ago. Sue came to help me finish our hardwood floors. We sure didn't know what we were getting into. After sanding for 2 days straight we thought we would go crazy. There was dust everywhere and all of us were living out of two rooms. We started staining and it looked horrible. The sander had left little circular marks everywhere. It was so frustrating because we worked so hard. Mike said he wanted to redo them-so I decided to caravan with my sister to Utah. We spent almost a week at my parents house trying to get it cleaned up for when they come home July 3 rd. first liv got sick for 2 days, then Conner, then me. Fun huh!! I decided to head up to Logan for a few days and we had a fun time there. Mike got done with the floors so we decided to head back. I left Logan about 4 on Tuesday and thought if I just drove, the kids would go to sleep eventually. Haha. Celeste and liv were so whiny and were both awake until 930!! I got so sick and wanted to throw up the whole trip. Oh wait I was up at 430 throwing up!! I got a speeding ticket in elko because I didn't notice the speed went down to 65 cuz I was holding Celeste's binky in while singing songs to liv and driving. Celeste and Conner both blew out their diapers. Celeste with poop!! No wonder why she was whining!! Once we got to winnemucca all the hotels were full. It took me a hour to find a hotel with a room. And I had only gone half way. Can u say worst trip ever!!!!!
