This summer can die for all I care!!

Wow!! Can I just tell you. I am not usually one to complain on my blog (just in real life). But honestly, sometimes things seem a little to much and I think I am at that little to much point!!

So far this summer.......

week one.. Trevor wakes up way sick, has to go to the doctor, has strep throat. Shot....all fixed done!

week two.. I already blogged about it, Shelby and her lovely stitches.

week three... We actually had a nice little vacation to St. George....I will blog about it, with pics, i will!!

week four... had to take my glucose tolerance test for gestational diabetes, now have to take the 3 hour test since it came back high. Brett broke his arm!! and now I have strep. 10 days of antibiotics for me.. not to mention I feel like CRAP!!





The hardest part in all of this is that my parents left to go into the MTC on Wednesday and actually are flying to Mexico right now was we speak. I have not had my mom to talk to at my beckon call!! This has been really difficult!! I know it will be a great thing, but it is not easy for anyone!! We met at a park for a few hours yesterday to say good-bye. It was rough. I admit that I am a baby, but wow, 3 years is a long time!!

Here is to hoping the rest of this summer improves.. I guess it can't get much worse.

Shelby's stitches out

Here she is!! No stitches!! It actually looks pretty good. The doctor said he thought this would heal well. I am so glad! She has been such a trooper!
For some reason the doctor thought she would like to keep her stitches (kind of odd I know) he put them on this tongue depressor and then put tape over them. Kind of weird, but whatever. Anyway, after we left the doctors office we had to stop at Walmart. Shelby asked if she could bring her stitches in the store with us. She always asks if she can bring stuff in the store and often I tell her no because "I don't want them to think you stole them" After asking if she could bring the stitches in I told her that would probably be ok. Then Shelby said, "yeah, I don't think Walmart sells stitches on a stick." It made me laugh. I just love her!!

Trevor's Baptism

Yesterday was a fabulous day! Trevor was baptized by his dad. It was such a great day, with so much of our family there. Trevor is really a great kid!!

On the other hand, today was not such a great day!! We were getting ready for church this morning. I was in the tub and Jared had just worked the night shift and was sleeping. As I was sitting in the tub I heard all kinds of commotion. Jared then came and yelled through the bathroom door that Shelby was hurt and we needed to go to the hospital. I threw on my clothes and went to see what was wrong. She had hit her head on the dresser and had a gaping hole in her head. I tell you what, even though I am a nurse, it is a whole different story when it is your own kid. I freaked out!! We had to go and get 10 stitches put in her head. It was sad... I wish I had taken a picture of her dress it was of course way bloody and we just took her that way. The best part is when she told the doctor she looked like a vampire!! This girl cracks me up. She is just always keeping it real! I love the way she posed for her picture.. I am glad she is ok, but I did not love that experience!

My Awesome Family!!

Here is a picture of my whole family...There are a billion of us and it is SO fun!! The sad thing is, we had this taken a few weeks ago and it is already outdated. Another little baby boy was born yesterday to my brother Thomas. I am so grateful for every last one in this picture.. I love them all!!
This is my parents and all my brothers and sisters with spouses.
And then the original 10. My parents, my four brothers and me and my 3 sisters. I have a great family!!
