Sick

Do you ever just get so Sick of Sick kids.  Ahh the last couple weeks have just been one thing after another.  It started with the school calling me because Cole's eardrum broke at school and was draining.  So we made a quick trip in to Dr and the poor little guy had ear infections then a couple days later Clint started with a fever and not eating and like 6 seizures in a day.  Then the next morning he woke up looking like this.  Doctor said he had hand foot and mouth.

The day after Clint started Cole had an awful day of fevers and seizures and he was also throwning up.  He only got a few spots nothing like his brother.  Pretty much we have been locked in our house for just over a week.  Starting to get a little stir crazy!!  But am finally getting some things done on my to do list - like catch up my blog.  

Pinewood Derby

The pinewood Derby for scouts.  This year is Wyatts last year competing. Wyatt did great he won a ton of races, and was happy with his car.  He won the award for the sleekest car it was purple on one half and blue on the other.

Nate is a great dad and helps Shay make a car every year even though she only gets to race it a couple times after the derby is over.  Shay with Lilly Merritt 

New Years

We had a pretty relax New Years we just stayed home and had a few friends over to play games.  Ammon and Alison, Dan and Marsha, and Matt and Jenn.  Mostly the kids played and the adults just talked it was fun to catch up with everyone.  Then around 11:30 we went over to the Ashtons for the ball drop.  They have a fun party with treats and hot chocolate then we light lanterns and the ball drop with a few fireworks.  They are such a great family so glad they are our friends!!  I think one of my goals this year will be to be better at taking photos I have been awful at taking my camera and getting good photos

Chinese Lanterns

Two of the cutest girls- Shay and Ada so glad they are friends.

Christmas

Christmas always starts with the annual cutting down of the tree.  On the Sat after Thanksgiving we head up Immigration canyon and go tree cutting down.  This year Cole and Clint rode with us but since they are getting a little to heavy to pack I just stayed in the van with them and Nate Wyatt and Shay went and cut down out tree.  After they went sledding  on a little hill for a bit.

Christmas Eve we had our family party at my parents house.  This year it was a little different because my mom was super sick - later we found out she had pnemonia!  That night we just ate dinner played some games and opened gifts.  As always the kids got really spoiled it is such a fun party.  Then we headed home early because Nate was not feeling that great.  On the way home we stopped at K-Mart for a quick minute Nate Wyatt and Shay went in while they were inside Cole threw up- Oh so gross!  We got home and got a quick photo of all the kids in their Christmas Jammies before round two.

This is our 3rd year with someone sick on Christmas ahh I think we have a curse.Christmas morning we did  not get up to early Nate was still sick and did not want to get out of bed so me and Wyatt and Shay got up and opened stocking and had breakfast then the rest of the crew woke up for presents. Shays favorite gifts were her sleeping bag, and a horse to go with her Doll.  Wyatt got games and clothes.      Cole and Clint got a really fun activity bus. Later that day we went over to Rachel's for Christmas dinner Nate and the boys stayed home but we went over for a quick dinner then came home and just watched movies.- I really needed to take more photos just got a few of the whole Christmas season..
