Happy Birthday

Today has started out great!! I got breakfast in bed by my family. I also got several phone calls from family and friends to wish me a great day. However my favorite was my brother's phone call because he said that life will go by faster and I said yeah I know it already seems to be getting faster as is. Then he said like when you turn 40 and then I said yes and you'll be 52...He stopped right there and didn't want to go further. It is nice to be the youngest in the family!! My husband got me the WII fit that I had been wanting. We've been trying it out and I am loving it. It has been a great day so far the only thing that would make it better would be BYU beating Utah.

Rivalry Week

Here comes down to the final and most important game BYU vs Utah. Late last night we had a neighbor sneak into our garage and put a licence frame around Robert's car plates. I do have to admit that I did help and really it was quite fun. My neighbor called to see if Robert has been out of town because his car is usually parked on the driveway. I said no last weekend we moved bikes to the shed so that he could fit his car in the garage. To her dismay they had been planning this trick for sometime. Being the great neighbor and friend that cheers for the same team I agreed to leave the garage open. While I and others went to the midnight showing of Twilight my neighbor came over and snuck under the garage that was slightly opened. The timing couldn't have been better because as he was putting the final touches on, Robert opened the garage door to throw away a stinky diaper when he noticed that the garage door was up a little. He went to shut the door and that is when the neighbor rolled out just in time. I waited and wondered when Robert would see his new addition to the car. Around 10:00 am I started to get phone calls from him. I was on the phone and didn't answer the other line. When I finally talked to him he said who did it? I tried to lead him astray but it didn't work. He knew exactly who it was... I said when did you noticed it and he replied when I went to get my laptop out of the trunk of my car!! I think it is great because little do you know that Robert was planning on giving them Utah cups but changed his mind because he liked the cups too well to give them away. Now my only fear is that his retaliation will be a lot worse than just a licence plate frame!!!

Surgery for Isaac!!

Today was the day that I had been dreading for at least three weeks now. Isaac had surgery on his mouth where he had a growth on his gum. The Dr. told me to prepare Isaac for his surgery date so that he could act like a big kid. Knowing Isaac anyone of you might laugh at this task, just ask anyone who has seen him freak out at cutting his toenails!! He went in nervous as all get out. When the time came for us to separate from him he did really good. The nurse said that he did great when they hooked up the IV. When he woke up he was funny because he was seeing double. He said "Dad you have four eyeballs!!" Somethings I just couldn't stop laughing. The Dr. said that they took some of his bone on his lower teeth and that hopefully the body will take care of the rest. I guess you don't grow more bone there. We go back in a week for a checkup. For now Isaac is on a liquid and soft food diet!! He also gets to do cold pack every other 20 minutes that he is thrilled about and a bandage that goes around his head that he has to wear for two days!!

Robert and Isaac were helping my dad grout the new rock put on their house. It was really cute because Isaac was a hard worker. Then after it was done Isaac goes up to my mom and says grandma are you going to pay me for the work that I did? Totally embarrassed I said that she didn't need to pay him. My mom then informed me that she told him in the beginning that she would pay him. Now I knew why he didn't stop to play and kept on working. Isaac loves money!! He even gets the neighbor Chris to throw him the football for money. Grandma Ronda also feeds his frenzy of money when he goes over to visit she allows him to count her pennies in her big jar, then depending how many he counts he gets to keep some. Now the harder part is for Isaac to save the money and not blow it on whatever he see next at the store!!

Halloween 2008

Halloween came and Isaac was not feeling good the night before. He threw up Thursday night and I knew that his Halloween experience was going to be changed. He didn't sleep much that night so it was hard to wake him the next morning. Depending on how he felt I wasn't going to make him go. However he knew that if he showed any signs of being sick I would indeed keep him home from school the biggest day of the year when you have a party. I made him his oatmeal and he just sat there staring at it. I knew right away that he wasn't going to stay home by his lame excuse of it isn't the right oatmeal. Any other day Isaac would stay home in a heart beat. As we proceed to getting ready he keeps laying down on the floor. I said Isaac maybe today isn't a good day to go to school. Then he whined I am fine I want to go. I drop him off at school and I gave him the rules to call me if by an means he can't make it. Time goes by and I don't hear from him while he is at school. I pick him up and he seems to be doing okay.

I had made a doctor visit for Lexi and also scheduled the kids to get their flu shots. The only thing is I decided not to tell them about it which is very unlike me. Isaac and Kylee fell asleep on the way to the doctor. We see Dr. Dan and Isaac is very lifeless. Very unusual for him for anyone that knows him. The nurse comes in to give Lexi her one year old shots and the two flu shots. Isaac noticed how she said shots and then who wants to go first. I sheepily smiled and said hey guys we are going to get our flu shots today. The screams burst through their little bodies. After the screams were done Isaac said that he would go after his sister. Kylee fights it a little more and then I held her for the nurse to give the shot. Isaac now knows it is his turn and starts to cry again. I then picked him up (As most of you know Isaac is almost the same size as me which makes it difficult to pick him up). The nurse says do I need to go get Dr. Dan to help us and Isaac screams NO.... he then pleads with the nurse not to put it in all the way. So she explains it one more time and how fast it is. Sure enough as soon as she put it in he stopped crying and says "that didn't hurt at all." And he was done, no crying, nothing. The nurse gave them treats because after all it was Halloween and this is the only day that they would get treats from the doctor office.

We headed home and again Isaac falls asleep. We get home and he lays on the couch and goes back to sleep. We have dinner and he doesn't eat anything. All day long I don't think he ate anything. It starts to get dark and his cousins are on there way to come go trick or treating. He lays on the floor and we get him dress and he says "Do you think Kylee will take my bag and get candy for me while she trick or treats." It just broke my heart that he had to be sick on that night. He did ride around in the stroller. By the end of the night he was ready to get into his bed!! Hopefully next year he won't be sick!!
