Yesterday Alyssa, Owen, and I along with Cory's Family went to the zoo. It was a nice day. I tried to take a whole bunch of pictures. The monkey just sat there and was watching Owen. Owen loved watching the monkey. Giraffe Alyssa at the zebra's Alyssa at the hippo's Here is Owen and Alyssa sitting in the bald eagle's nest Here they are with all the cousin's expect for Ashlynn and the one's that Heather & Aleta are pregnant with Alyssa and Siosi Owen chillin in the stroller Kylie and Owen on the hippo Lazy Hippos

Last week was not Owen's week, went to the doctor, has ear infection thinking that Alyssa gave him a fat lip with a toy not quite sure fell off bed made lip worse biffed it a couple of times while crawling went back to the doctor for a nausea shot and a antibotic shot had a fever has high as 104.5 It was definitely not his week. So here are some pictures of Owen's lip after the swelling went down. Some of his skin on his lip was coming off Owen would hold his lip like this and I couldn't look at it.

So I am doing pretty good haven't had to take a whole lot of pain meds. It was the first couple of days that weren't so good for me.

We were having a garage sale today and I decided to go something cold to drink from Sonic, half off drinks from 2-4. I didn't make it. I got through the intersection of state and Lancaster and was almost to Sonic. I was in a long line of cars that were stopped. I was getting ready to move and all of a sudden there was a huge push on my car from a minivan and the minivan got pushed by a suv. no damage to my car but there was some to the minivan and to the suv. I am just really sore I went to the hospital and got checked out cause my neck was sore.

Made a another trip to the doctor's office today. Who would of thought. Two trips this week. This morning his temperature that was the highest was 104.5, along with 1 time vomiting and 4 diarrhea diapers. Ya I know to much information. So I called the doctor once yesterday morning and once last night. Well I was told to call again today and I did cause he threw up. When the nurse came out and got me she said you can't have your parking space yet. Owen ended up getting an antibiotic shot and a nausea shot. They said if it doesn't work by Friday to bring him back in. This kid is the pretty expensive with all the appointments and hospital stuff. It's a good thing that we have different insurance.

Last night was not to fun. Owen was up quite a bit. Last week he was pulling on his ear some and fussing. I wanted to wait to make sure that he just tired and pulling on his ear. Well last night did it for me. So this morning I called and scheduled an appointment. His appointment was at 1:40 I got there about than, and I went in he weighed 24lb 9 oz. On a scale of 1-10 his ear infection was at a 3, so it went up from the last time. Last time he just had a little bit of fluid in his ear and the doctor didn't diagnose it as a full ear infection. So that only took maybe 15 minutes that I went to the pharmacy and I got a number I had 171. I waited for a little bit than my number was called. The prescription hadn't been called in yet. So they had me sit down and wait. I didn't think it would take very long. Oh it did! I waited for an hour than I asked someone if it had been filled and they said that it wasn't called yet and someone was going to call to talk to the doctor. Th...

So yesterday 12 years ago my parents were in a motorcycle wreck. If many of you don't know about the wreck I was like 12 or 13 years old when it happened. My parents were on their way to Logan on a motorcycle and they weren't wearing helmets. My dad has brain damage, short term memory, he broke all three bones in his left leg. My mom broke her pelvis in three different places and she has some really long screws in her pelvis, and she also broke all three bones in her left leg. I don't think about it much. I just wanted to make a not of how long it has been since the wreck.

I posted three entries with pictures.

After the parade and lunch we went to David and Kimber's and Alyssa played on the slip n slide. The boys liked the pool at the end.

We went to the parade yesterday. It was nice weather. I put a lot of sunscreen on the kids. Cory, Dan, and Kurt did cotton candy, and sno-cones. Here's some pictures of us while we were waiting for the parade to start.

Here is my handsome husband showing off his muscles. Here's Kurt, Dan, Cory So yesterday we went to the parade. Cory and Dan were selling cotton candy and sno-kones. Cory got sunburned. He has a pretty cool sunburn on his neck from the apron.

Well i haven't updated much. There hasn't been much going on. We went to a funeral not to long ago. The Iris festival parade is tomorrow. Than Vanessa and her family are coming all the way from Wyoming. My mom is getting married next month. I hope to take pictures and update more now that summer is coming. Last night I went to the craft store and got some fabric to make a bag. I will post pictures when I am done. Owen is crawling around now. He is working on his 7th tooth. I think he might have another ear infection, I am hoping he doesn't though.

I know the last entry is empty. I have the entry saved on my laptop and I need to add it today. I am in the process of spring cleaning so I hope to get that soon. I will also update more hopefully later when the kids are napping. Hope all the mom's had a Happy Mother's Day!

Well everything is going pretty good. We got here at around 12:00 a.m. and than went to bed at 2:00. Tomorrow is when everything is going on. Still a numbing experience. It is very weird not to have him around. He was always fun to be around. We all are missing him.

This morning I found out that my uncle passed away. I feel completely numb! The tears come and go.

I have done lots of posts in the last several day with pictures. I have been way behind on posting new pictures. And now I am fully caught up. So enjoy!

So the morning of Alyssa's birthday, which was Sunday. The kids needed a bath so it was their first time having a bath together.
