I obviously have a lot to catch up on. So, one (like myself) might think it would be nice if I updated the blog from the laptop while Gary was doing homework from our other computer. Well, think again!
We just barely loaded pictures on this computer and they were in absolutely NO particular order, so I just had to browse through nearly 800 pictures to find what I was looking for!!
But, on the plus side, I did find some random photos that I may or may not have posted in the past.
Well, since it took me so long to find and upload all the pictures (and there are many) now it is past my bedtime...and I'm really quite tired.
So, enjoy your imagination with these pictures until I get around to writing about them
OK, if you didn't check our blog in the last couple days you can disregard the previous paragraph on continue reading!!
I decided I better have the blog updated before Gary leaves for another business trip on Sunday so I can get back to our daily updates while he's gone.
So, here's what we've been up to....in no particular order.
We went to Denver for Thanksgiving and had such a FABULOUS time!!
It was great to spend time with family, eat lots of good food, and play lots of card games.
I even went Black Friday shopping for the first time.
But don't worry, it was not in the middle of the night for all the door-busters. It was later in the day....for a few items at Jo-Ann's.
I have been looking for material for Christmas stockings for years....and I FINALLY found some.
Yahoo!!
Anyway, while we were in Denver Tanzi got really sick.
She actually had a bit of a cold before we left, and she is teething, but while we were on our trip Tanzi had a fever for about 3 days!
I hate having sick babies :(
The day after we got back (Monday), she no longer had a fever, but she broke out into a terrible rash....and then she wouldn't sleep.
Sick baby :(
I remember Kyri getting a similar rash around the same age and when we took her to the doctor she had a terrible ear infection.
So, thinking this was probably the case with Tanzi I took her to the doctor at 11pm.
Luckily, no ear infection!
And the rash is common after a fever has broke.
But she did have a really red throat and still had a goopy nose, so they gave me a saline solution for her nose and a mylanta/benedryl mixture for her throat.
Why is it that I had to have 3 kids before finding an at home remedy that could have saved us a lot of heart ache over the years?!
We were grateful!
And on Wednesday we finally got our baby back!
We heard her laugh for the first time in about a week.
She didn't eat much while she was sick...and we are slowly getting back on track with that.
She decided she no longer likes baby food unless it's mixed with rice cereal. And before she was sick she was taking 6-7 oz of milk from a bottle every night and now the most she has taken is 4oz, but it's usually only about 2oz.
However, she is having plenty of wet diapers...and even more smiles, so I am one happy mama!
Graysen is pretty pleased with himself for putting on chapstick by himself
You can see where he learned it from
They are quite the pair!!
Since Tanzi was sick while we were in Denver she just wanted to be held ALL the time!
Which worked out well since there were so many people that wanted to hold her. Amber, Grandma, and Grandpa all spent a lot of time snuggling Tanz, which she LOVED.
And while she had her fever Tanzi really just slept a LOT....so of course Grandpa offered to hold her :)
Going...
....going....
...gone!!
Two peas in a pod
A highlight of our trip (for the kids) was staying at "the hotello"
This was Tuesday night, on our way to Denver.
As you can see, Tanzi had an obsession with her new-found tongue
On our way home (Saturday night) I was up in the middle of the night with Tanzi. And since the kids were sleeping on a pull-out bed right next to us I could see just how comfy they were...and I couldn't resist fumbling in the dark for the camera so I could capture this moment!
We really had such a fun trip!
Danny and Amber were nice enough to let us stay at their house and feed us yummy food.
And we had a great Thanksgiving dinner at DeAnne and Alan's house with even MORE family...AND fun, of course.
Jadan was baptized the day after Thanksgiving. It was such a nice service. And he is SUCH a great example to Kyri and Graysen (as well as his siblings, I'm sure)
And then we got a baby sitter so the adults could go out for sushi (kind of as a late birthday dinner for Gary, whose birthday was the day before Thanksgiving).
I wish I would have taken pictures at the sushi place.
Not only was it delicious, but it looked amazing...and they even brought it out to us on a big boat!
It was awesome!
And nice to have some adult time :)
I just wish I was better at taking pictures when we're all together!
I'm not exactly sure when this picture was taken, but I LOVE the look on Gray's face...and that he's wearing pink crocs...and that Kyri looks ticked.
It makes me smile!
Nothin' like mowing the lawn in the rain
My brother, Jared, came into town, from Singapore, for Grandma Dora's funeral.
We wanted to spend more time with him, since he normally only comes once a year.
So, my sister, Tawn, and I took our kids up to our parents for a couple days.
The kids had SO much fun with "Uncle Baby Jared"
AND a lot of fun with each other too!!
If one was sitting in the chair they ALL were sitting in the chair
Jared came to stay with us the night before he flew back home.
The kids could NOT get enough play time in with him.
Well, while we were all just hanging out in the play room Kyri disappeared for a while.
I never really thought much of it....
until she came back into the room, looking like this
I'm not sure what prompted her to get into my make-up and hairspray,
but it sure gave us a good laugh!!
(BTW, her hair was plastered with hairspray and very rock solid!)
This picture was taken a long time ago at my parent's house....and it still makes me smile.
These two are quite the crazy sleepers when they share a bed!!
Cute Kyri Girl
Apparently he's not just a crazy sleeper when he's sharing a bed
Baby feet
This must have been just after we cut Kyri's hair short.
Cute girl!
Crazy boy!
love, love, LOVE these kids!!
Tanzi started crawling with her belly off the floor last week.
This video really isn't anything exciting, but we just had to document this major milestone!
And now she is getting pretty fast...and getting into trouble :)
I have taken a few more pictures the last couple days and have found some more random ones...so expect more updates real soon!!
