More San Diego Pics...

Ok so I should have put these with the post below but forgot so here you go hope the swim suit doesn't offend anyone just ignore the "rolls", and I have to tell you, the picture where Kai is laughing at me in, well right before the laugh he was pulling at my face and then pushing me away, the little stink didn't want to be held to take his picture.. p.s. be sure to look at the post right before this it has more pictures ;)

It's never too late...

Ok so I realize I really need help keeping up on my blog, but it is better late than never to update so here you go... We went to San Diego for vacation and loved it I want to live there. We went to the Zoo, Seaworld, and the Wild Animal Park, oh and the BEACH (my favorite). I could bore you with all the details, but I won't... just take a look at some of the pictures, I wish we had more but Kai broke our camera while we were there so we got what we could. Kai is finally crawling and he will turn 1 this month. Brooke and Brady moved this weekend and it was very sad I guess I didn't really think it was going to come that fast. Today when I got home from work Kai was so excited to walk in the house he was just smiling as we were walking in and when the house was empty he looked confused, you see Brooke would always have a big hug and smile for him and he didn't have his loving audience today. I am really going to miss my Eli too he is the only one that will give me loves whenever I needed them and I love that about him. The only perk is we have an excuse to go to New York now. Alrighty then, I hope everyone is doing well and I will try and keep up on my posts!

What a week!

Kai kissing himself in the mirror soo cute!

Well I was debating on posting about this because I don't want to make anyone worry but I guess since this will probably be the best journal that I will keep for my family I will post it. Tuesday morning around 5am little Kai had a seizure caused by a fever, he woke up screaming and the way he sounded I knew instantly something was wrong, when I got to his room his body jerked in his crib and I thought I had startled him but then he kept jerking... I knew it was a seizure so I grabbed him and held him as he continued jerking (it was awful). We are so lucky we live with my mom who is a nurse, I was able to run to her room and ask her what to do. She told us to go to the ER, as we were driving there the seizure stopped, it had lasted almost 6 minutes. In the ER they took his vitals said everything looks good and told us to keep his fever as low as we could and to follow up with our pediatrician (apparently this kind of seizure is very common). At the pediatrician office he said about the same but because of JR's family history of seizure disorder, if Kai had another seizure he would order a full work up. Now for those of you who don't know JR's mom died from a seizure she had in her sleep, December 06. She had seizure disorder pretty bad her whole life, so we have always had the fear of seizure's in the back of our minds. Now even though Kai's seizure was caused by a fever you can imagine what we were both hoping wouldn't happen. All day Tuesday we could not get his fever to break and he was not feeling good at all. We kept giving him motrin and bathed him, hardly dressed him, and the air conditioning was on full. He had a blessing that night and we all were just hoping he would sleep good. Well Wednesday morning comes and this time we are waken by the same scream around 6am. JR ran and got him this one lasted only 2 minutes but afterward he was vomiting violently and that lasted another three minutes. I was a mess, we took him to the ER again but this time they did the full work up, blood tests, CT scan, urine samples and everything came back normal, what a relief. So this morning came and no seizure just a happy boy he still isn't 100% and got another fever this afternoon but nothing like the past few days. Like I said earlier it is very common the stats say 1 in every 7 children before the age 6 will have a febrial seizure ("fever seizure") and that unless he has one agian in say the next few months they won't treat him any different even with the family history. So thank you to my family, neighbors, and my great friends it is so comforting to know that so many people care. The prayers that were said in Kai's behalf were much appreciated. We love this kid!

CRAZY, BUSY...

Wow May hit for me and I have been so busy since.. I think I need to pay someone to keep my blog running haha. Since JR's birthday I have started teaching swimming lessons and I feel like I live at the pool even though I am usually home by 2:30. Kai is in daycare two of the hours and then my boss and the lifeguards play with him the rest of the time and it is all free for me so it's worth being there. I think Kai is going to have a long summer though it's rough without mom all morning. JR and I had our 2 year anniversary yesterday and we celebrated on Saturday at The Roof. It was delicious and we had a good time. Yesterday during the day I had my primary kids over to help weed this patch of dirt on the side of my mom's house there were so many weeds I kinda felt bad after we started working but they had a lot of fun and when we got done I fed them pizza so at least I made up for the hard labor. Well, I hope you enjoy the pictures from our date to the roof and the weeding "service project" I am such a slacker!

Happy Birthday JR!

Today is a special day for our daddy for two reasons it is his big 26th birthday and it has been 9 months today since Kai was born. JR was so excited when he found out that Kai would share the 21st with him. We love J you are a great dad and husband and we are super lucky to have you. HAPPY BIRTHDAY!

Wedding, Mothers Day, and Kai and his BOOK...

Ok this weekend was a pretty busy one, so this will be one of the longest posts I have done in awhile. Saturday JR's cousin got married the wedding was beautiful and JR looked HOT (so did the bride)! It is not that often you get to see your husband in a tux so that was fun for me. They got married at a place in Salt Lake called Millenial Falls, we had sushi, chicken, chocolate covered strawberries and danced the night away (ok JR and I really didn't dance the night away but all the funny drunk people did)! Then Sunday was Mothers Day, I bought myself a dress the one I wore to the wedding and a new cute hat in the picture with me and Kai. Kai bought me a Willow Tree statue and JR gave me some perfume and a cute card. It was weird to have my first mothers day but it was a good one thanks J. Then just as entertainment I have to tell you about "the book". Friday morning I left Kai on the bed like I always do to play toys while I got ready, well I hear him talking to himself but he sounds ticked off he wasn't crying but he was "cursin". I walk into the room and he has a book his Auntie Erin had bought him torn up and the barn window around his leg! It was pretty cute...so Enjoy (and sorry it's so long)

Just an Update

So it has been awhile since my last post but nothing cool has really happened. Kai had his first ear infection 2 Sundays ago and then this Monday he had his first fall...lovely huh?! He was sitting on the couch (I know what you are all thinking) and Brooke brought Eli in the room and sat him on the floor and as soon as she sat him down I thought Kai is going to reach for him. So I looked over my shoulder and right as I did he was head over feet and getting ready to fall right off. I yelled and as I yelled he went right off and Brooke and I both jumped for him but we weren't fast enough. Man talk about being worried all day I didn't want him to go to sleep I felt so bad. I learned my lesson though he won't be sitting on the couch anymore, poor guy! Other than those two things he is growing well and he is healthy. I have just started teaching swimming lessons at The Legacy Center in Lehi. I teach from 4-6 pm right now and then in the summer it is a 10-1 pm schedule, and the best part about it, is that I get FREE daycare because I am an employee. I like teaching and I am glad I have this skill to fall back on especially since it doesn't require me to be away from Kai for very long but I can still help out a little. Well that is about it I am pretty boring otherwise JR is just working hard and has been busy this last week with his cousins helping get ready for one of them to get married so maybe I will post pics this weekend from the wedding. Sorry no pics this post just don't have any to share right now.
