Milo 4 Mth Check Up

Man I cant believe that Milo is 4 mths!!!

Today was his well child check up and poor

Dr Hom I had a billion questions.....

Q: He is really congested and has been for

about 2 mths. Why????

A: He has mild reflex and an ear infection.

So sad my baby's first ear infection.

Q: The kid pees and pees and pees. Why?

A: he is drinking 30 oz a day and really only needs 20

so he is letting go of what he doesn't need.

Don't tell Milo He doesn't need it because he thinks he does

and some times even more.

Q: How do his lungs sound?

A: Great!!! No signs of asthma!!!!

Dr Hom has been are Dr since Dallin was 8 mths

and if anyone knew Dallin at that time you would

understand why I asked this...

He is still on the tall side at almost 25 inch which puts him a little above

the 50%. Ok I know that 50% is average but if he is like my other

babies he'll be around 30 % at his next visit so I'm taking it!

His weight is 14 lbs which is 38 %. I have to say WOW I thought

this kid would be in the 75 or 80 % for weight.

Who knew not me????

And his cute lil head is in the 55 %. Which again I thought

would be bigger..

Happy 4 Mths MY GUY!!!

Were home!!!! California was a blast,

but glad to be home!!!!

California Here I come

I can hardly wait for my sister to pick me and Lauren and Milo up, so

we can head on down to the airport and fly on into sunny California.

I can hardly wait to see my mom and dad.

I can hardly wait to see my grandparents and aunts and uncles and cousin.

I can hardly wait to see the ocean and fell the sun on my face.

I can hardly wait to not wear sunblock one day and

get a nice tan then to put the sunblock back on.

No wrinkles here please.

I wish my boys and Justin were coming.

I already miss them.

SEE EVERYONE IN A WEEK!!!!!!!!

I'M OFF TO CALIFORNIA!!!!!

Mike Gets a New Tooth

the thorn in my side. I no longer have to

take him to Dr apt every 6 mths or get new fillings put on

because they like to also chip off. Can I please get a hallelujah.

check it out here. As for me I don't

want to relive that memory just now, right now

I want to party and smile and be happy for my boy!!!!

Sorry I must of been to happy to worry about

little things like focusing or holding still.

Once again Hallelujah it is over!!!!

Happy Easter!

We had an awesome day!!

The kids where super happy that the Easter Bunny came,

although they found the Easter stuff hidden in the back of my car

they all acted way surprised, go figure.

The boys who have long since know the truth about

such mystical creatures as Santa, the Tooth Ninja (no wimpy Tooth Fairy

for my boys) and the Easter Bunny, still play it up for Lauren.

For which I am grateful.

After church we headed off to Justin's sister's little

two bedroom house and had a lot of laughs even

though we where all packed in there like sardines.

All in all a great day and I am thankful for my Savior for

all that he went throw to make it possible to have a wonderful

Easter and an awesome family to share it with.

Dallins date night

Me and Dallin headed off to Red Robyn for lunch.

Yea Spring Break and being able to do a lunch date!!!

You might wonder why Red Robyn?

The answer; Dallin found out that they

have bottomless fries and that was all it took.

We had so much fun and it was a blast to talk with

my lil man who is on the verge of being a young man.

Oh it hurts just to write that one day soon he will be a

young man and to realize that he will be 11 yr old this year!!

Where oh where has the time gone.

I remember when you where just brand new into this world

just like you little brother Milo and even though your

hair never did this he reminds me of you, and how you were

as baby Dallin

And how your skinny little feet

turned into chubby little feet

Oh I remember those kissable cheeks just like your cousin Eli's

And how just like lil man Sam you loved sports and balls.

but unlike Sam your game of choice wasn't basketball but baseball.

I remember you learned to hit the ball at the ripe old age of 2.

How time has changed. Right now I'm going to try and remember

how much you and Mike loved to just sit on the motorcycles and just pretend

because I know someday soon you will be out their scaring me to death with

your motocross skills but for now just safely dream because I have no problem with that.

Man a live do I ever love this boy.

You might be wondering why I didn't use photos

of Dallin as a Baby and toddler?

The answer; I don't own a scanner.

Oh How I Wish You Were Mine

Oh my goodness do I ever love this swimsuit from Boden.

And I was already to buy it with Megan's $20 off

coupon, but then I just had to listen to Dave Ramsey talk

show last night and Elder Hales talk this morning.

Why did I have to become aware that this beautiful swimsuit is only

a want and is not the sort of thing to take money out of savings

to buy, and why did my kid's Easter clothes have to take up all

the money in my clothing envelope. WHY WHY WHY!!!!!

Ok I'm done with that. I will just have to wait to buy it next month with

out the lovely coupon from Meg but this is about changing bad habits and

that is worth a 2o dollar coupon any day. Right, Right!

Oh and by the way I found this funny funny video

by Kate Micucci who plays Gooch, Ted the lawer

girlfriend on scrubs. Its called Dear Dear and click here

to watch it. I hope it also bring a smile to your face, it did mine.

My Date With Mike

It was Mike's turn for a one on one date.

We went out to Mimi's Cafe because Mr Mike had

a gift cert for reaching his AR goal at school.

Way to go Mike.

Then we went hiking up at Fernwood.

Mike loves to hike and I mean he loves it.

It was so much fun and he is so funny and when he hikes

his mouth doesn't stop and I mean none stop chatter!

Some highlights of the chatter.

He looks at the castle up at Fernwood and

asked if any one lives there.

Me: yes

Mike: who

Me: I don't know

Mike: well they must have some money because a house

like that must cost more then the average house

so the people who live there must make more than the average person.

Mike: beware mom I may run off to cool things at any moment.

On the road there was a ton of horse pooh and mike looks

down and said

"People should really clean up after their horse 's dung".

Really who says dung?

As hes running around the forest he singing a random song of a bunch of

doos and daas and some other sounds. Then he comes

up to me and asks if I liked his theme song?

Mike gave me a tutorial on how to rock clime

that went something like this.

Also in his best British accent

When your on a cliff face like this one its best to

stay vertical with the rock wall and

carefully make your way across to safety and always

remember that there can be lose rocks and stay calm

its when you panic that things happen.

Yea he watches Man vs Wild

All in all a great night with my boy. Who warned me where to step and where not to.

Always on the look out for his poor old mom.

Love ya Mike and I can't wait to do it again.

Be kind I took this picture with my cell.

The hole time hiking I kept wishing

I had my camera. Next time I wont leave it behind.

For my Sister Who I love

My sisters friend Carolyn past away yesterday from cancer.

Jennell I am so sorry for your lost.

Carolyn's was diagnosed a year a go and was supposed to be easily treated.

Well the treatments stopped working and there was nothing

else the Doctors could do. I know her life touched

not only my sisters but also her children and

all the children of their church. She was the Awana director.

(Awana is a program for children and teens.)

Please remember Carolyn's family and friends in your prayers.

From what I know of her she was a woman of God and spent

her life in his service, and I thank her for all that she

has done for my sister and my nieces and nephews.

She will be missed and I am sure all are taking comfort in know she is

now with are Savior and Father in Heaven.

Love you Jennell and I am thinking of you and your friend.
