Baby Blessings

Sunday the whole family went down to Delta for the baby blessings . It was so nice to have the whole family together. It was my first time seeing Harlie and she is such a doll. Here are some pictures of the family and the new babies (I didnt get pictures of the babies in the blessing clothes which were really cute), and one baby that is not so new but I have very few pictures of.

Here is our little family.

Papa and Nana with all the grandkids, minus Elsa who was with her dad.

Morgan and Harlie Ray Yates

Shai and Kix Cade Riding

Ryan and Adele Elizabeth Robison

Tiffany and Tyda Rosalie Brooks

All of the fam.

I love my family so much and have been so blessed to have them in my life. Although I am not the best at staying in touch it has been so nice to have everyone so close, and it is so sad that Tiffany and her family are moving to Vegas, we will miss you guys so much.

I love you all and hope that you know how much you mean to me.

The Habbit Is Over

Since day one Isaac has been an avid thumb sucker. I sucked my thumb as a child and actually had to have a retainer to make me stop, I didnt want him to go that long because it gave me an overbite and, of course, I did not want that for him. We never really tried to stop Isaac from sucking his thumb because he was still really young, but a couple of weeks ago we decided that it was time to try and get him to stop. We thought it would be really difficult to stop him because it has been going on every time that he has gone to sleep since the beginning. We bought some stuff to get him to stop biting his nails a while ago and we used that to put on his thumb. It was really funny, he loved when I put the stuff on his finger, but when he put his thumb in his mouth he took it out and spit onto the carpet. It was much easier than we thought it would be and it only took about 3 days, and now I am proud to say that we no longer have a thumb sucking son. It actually makes me a little sad, it is just one of those small things that remindes me of how big he is getting, but I am also so proud that he was able to break his habbit so easily.

So I have had nothing to blog about lately and I was going through all of our pictures and I thought that I would post a few of the boy.

He Asked!

The crazy ways this boy sleeps.

Playing hide-and-seek.

A leaf bug that was outside our house. He thought it was the coolest thing ever.

Isn't that the cutest buttcrack you have ever seen?

He is such a good helper.

Things get pretty crazy, especially when Brent and him get going (one time Brent downloaded fart noises onto our IPhone and they laughed for days), but I love this little man so much and I cant believe that it has already been 3 and a half years.

Cool Fort

On Saturday the boy was being pretty crazy, when Isaac is crazy he is really crazy (those who know him can tell you). So I decided to calm him down by making a little fort that he could hang out in. I just hung some blankets over chairs then put my laptop inside and played a movie. It was kinda crudely done but it worked great which was the point. He had so much fun with it. Here are some pictures of Isaac's hang-out.

Bad Day?

Right off the bat it was a really bad sign for the day ahead -

I woke up at 6:30 shivering, I thought nothing other than it must be cold in our house, the shivering progressed to violent shaking where I could not even hold anything in my hands. Brent took my tempurature and it was at a good 102 degrees. Great, I thought as I tried to calm down my flinging body.

Now let me give you a bit more info on what was happening with me. Friday Brent tried to get me to go to the doctor because my back and side were aching horribly. He looked on WebMD and matched that and some other symptoms that I was having to a kidney infection. I did not think that that was the case so I told him that if I was still sick on Monday I would go to the doctor, I would have gone then but we had a problem with my insurance and our choice with them was either get a refund of $600 for when I was not covered but they withheld from my check anyway or they could keep the money and I would still have insurance, I chose to get the money back. The reason I wanted this money back was that I was not covered for the time that they took it out so it was my money, and open enrollment is in August and I thought I wont be sick in just a months time. Anyway we dont have insurance at this time.

Back to the story. Around 7:00 my shaking finally stops, Brent checks my temp. again and it is 105. We decide that it is probably good if we go to the doctor now, so we drag Isaac out of bed, get dressed and head out to the ER. We walk in and talk to the lady at the front desk and she takes my vitals and brings me right back, my pulse rate is 160 and my temp is 103 she says that I am actually really sick. So I give one of those samples that are always fun to give and then get dressed in one of those fancy hospital gowns and lay on the bed, waiting for the doctor. He comes in and says that they want to get my fever under control and lower my pulse so they are going to take some blood then hook me to an IV and give me fluids and an Antibiotic. And there I sat for a couple of hours getting colder and colder as the fluid starts running through my body. When the nurse comes back in she checks my temp and it is 98 but my pulse is still 110 and they want to get it under 100 so they give me another bag of fluid. Finally the doctor comes back and says that I do have a kidney infection and that I will need to be on antibiotics for the next 2 weeks, of course it is a gradual drug so it will take a few days for my fevers to get under control but they shouldn't be as bad. We get to leave then and we go home so the boy and I can take a nap then we head out to the nearest walmart to get the prescription filled. Now since it is Saturday you would think that Brent has the day off and you would normally be right but today he had picked up a shift because his five day break starts tomorrow and he needed more hours for the week, so as soon as we get home he heads off to work. I am feeling alright for the most part at this point just extremely week. This all would be bad enough but I have to do laundry tonight so I have to walk downstairs and around to the back to get to the machines which I hate to do even when I feel great.

Anyway that was my day, I hope all of yours went better than mine.
