Happy Mothers Day!

I hope you all had a nice Mothers Day! I also want to tell my family that I love them and am greatful to be the Mom of my wonderful family!

Brookie

Brookelyn has been a very sick little girl! Last Thursday she woke up for school and said that her back was hurting. I thought it was just from doing back bends and jumping on her friends trampoline, when I picked her up from school her back was really hurting and she had a tummy ache so she came home and rested for a little while before her softball game. We went to her softball game and were only there for a few minutes before she wanted to go home. She had a head ache too. So I gave her some Medicine and put her to bed, at 4:00 am she started throwing up. Friday she stayed home from school and slept all day, Saturday she got a fever of 105, it would go down to about 102 when she had medicine in her, throwing up all day, she was absolutely miserable!! Brad gave her a priesthood blessing. Sunday I stayed home from church with her and just tried to keep her cool, she would complain about being really hot and want a cool rag for her head then she would be freezing with blankets piled on her, Still throwing up. Monday Brad and I took her to the doctor and he confirmed what I thought it was, She has a kidney infection, which he said is not very common for someone her age. He gave her an antibiotic and said she might be able to go to school on Wed. Tuesday she was miserable.Well Wed. came and went and she was still miserable , throwing up, high fever, the antibiotic wasn't working. The Doctor called to check on her and said to give her until Friday and then we'll decide what to do. Thursday morning the fever is gone and Brookelyn wants to eat.Yay! She is feeling alot better today and we are sooooo happy!! Our little Brookie lost 8 pounds in 7 days. Now that she's feeling better we'll have to fatten her up. She only weighs 57 pounds. I'm going to keep her home from school tomorrow and help her get caught up on her homework. Hopefully she'll be back to her fun little self again soon! We Love our sweet little Brookie, She's just an angel and a blessing in our home, her brothers have been very loving and helpful in taking care of her. I want to thank all of our family and friends who have been praying for her.

Well it's that time of year again. Brandon is playing baseball and Brookelyn is playing softball, They've both had about 4 games. They've lost some and won some. I get to drive to practices and games every day but Sundays, aren't I lucky? They both have 3 games this week, hopefully Brad and I can split up so that they each have someone to watch them. I really enjoy watching their games, it's alot of fun to watch them improve and have more fun each year! Good Luck Kids, Love You!

Brian's Car

Check out the car we bought for Brian while we were in Leeds for spring break. It's a 1961 Buick Lesabre. It fits Brian's personality so well. He's always loved old cars and didn't want a "normal car". The inside of it is pretty cool, it's all origanal and in pretty good shape. It has 66,000 original miles on it.








He ran out of gas while driving it around after we bought it, We had to go rescue them.





This is what he wants to paint it.

Spring Break

For spring break, We had Easter with the Hall side of the family, it was sooo much fun! we reserved the church for a few hours on Saturday and played games. We played a game of volleyball and a pretty bruttle game of dodge ball, it felt like we were back in high school again.(you forget how hard those rubber balls really are) Everyone was pretty sore the next morning, but I think everyone had a blast. We brought the 4 wheelers and dirt bikes, its always fun to go out riding. The kids did alot of hiking and all the boys went out shooting.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY

I just want to say HAPPY BIRTHDAY to Brad! His birthday was on Thursday, I feel bad because my back has been out so I couldn't really do anything special for him. We had cake and ice cream and I went to the movie with him. He's a great father and husband, we appreciate everything he does for us, and we love him soooo much!

I also want to tell Mark HAPPY BIRTHDAY! He's a great dad & a wonderful grandpa for our children. We love you Dad!

BERT & ERNIE

Bert

Ernie

So Brian got 2 ducks , they are soooo cute! They love to be held, if you hold them and play with them while they are little then they'll follow you around and be your buddy when they are big. They will be able to live with the chickens in a couple of weeks. Brian named them Bert & Ernie

PROM

Bradley and Brian went to prom on Saturday, they had a lot of fun. They went to Thanksgiving Point and to the dinosaur museum then to lunch for their day date. They went to the Garden in the Joseph Smith memorial building for dinner then to the dance. After the dance they went and got ice cream then went to Alvin's house to watch a movie. They had five couples in their group. Bradley got pulled over on the way home for not coming to a complete stop at a stop sign before making a right hand turn. Luckily he only got a warning. This was Brian's first date he was soooo nervous! ( it was fun watching him all week get ready for this, he was so cute)


These aren't the best pictures because the sun was in their eyes, I'll post the pictures they got taken at the dance when we get them back.
