 I LOVE LOVE LOVE my baby girls!

       We went to my mom's and she watched the kids so we could go skiing! My first time in 4 years!

 This moon was really cool on our drive up but you can't tell how HUGE it was!

 This is April now...we went to the zoo :-)

Holy smokes! I wanted February to be over so fast but March is the month that flew by!

So glad February's almost over!

This was not a fun February. We started it off with all of us getting the stomach flu...soooo miserable! Especially since I'm breastfeeding and couldn't take anything for it. Then a week later everyone got colds. Poor Rosslyn's got worse and worse and then I started to notice her stomach contracting when she would breathe and her breathing didn't sound good.

I ended up taking her to the ER on Wednesday evening and they told me they would give her a breathing treatment and send us on our way. Well, she didn't respond to the breathing treatment so they gave her another. That didn't work so they gave her oral steroids...her O2 levels still didn't increase so they took some X-rays to make sure it wasn't pneumonia. Luckily it wasn't. But since nothing was working they had to admit her. That turned into a four night stay with our little RSV baby. Poor thing! We didn't get home until Sunday around 1:30pm.

They took out the crib and brought in a hospital bed so I could just "sleep" with her since people were coming in almost every hour and I was having to hold her down for suctioning or if she woke up for the breathing treatments. The only problem was I had to call a nurse every time I had to go to the bathroom. I would wait and wait until I couldn't wait any longer. I'm pretty sure they thought a horse was peeing in the bathroom. It was embarrassing.

To make matters worse on Friday I all of a sudden got this PIERCING pain in my ear...I mean PAIN. I just couldn't do anything but cry it hurt soooooo bad. I asked some of the nurses if they could look in my ear but they said no because they're pediatric. I was in the hospital for heavens sake and no one would look in my ear. They told me I'd have to go to adult med but since I waited until it was after 5 I'd have to go to the ER. Well, that wasn't how I wanted to spend an extra 50 bucks so I waited until the next morning...inner and outer ear infection. FUN! I feel so bad for kids that have ear infections now! I also ended up being allergic to the neomycin drops. They made my ear explode to twice its size and was super painful. I wouldn't be surprised if I had stretch marks on my ear!

Then once I started on my antibiotics Roz wouldn't nurse. I asked the doc if that was normal and she said it can make babies stomach's sensitive and it could change the taste of the milk. Well we couldn't leave unless she was had at least 4 wet diapers a day but she wouldn't take formula or pedialite. Lets just say I am sick of hospitals and dr's offices.

Here's to a better March!

We had such a great Christmas with the Peers side! We had lots of yummy food on Christmas Eve... Crab, cheese platter, and Christmas goose! Mikey's uncle got us this fantastic rug for our living room. SO HAPPY!

Rozi is 6 months!!!!!

This little munchkin is 6 months old! Can you believe it? I can't! She is such a sweet thing! Takes so much abuse (love) from her older sister's.  She loves rolling around, chewing on everything, yelling at her toys and mommy love. I haven't started solids with her yet. I just haven't had the energy. I'm not looking forward to the mess and extra laundry. I've been so busy with all of Evie's health issues, her 6 month mark snuck up on me. She is definitely my chunkiest baby and I love it. I'm so sad it's going so fast! STOP!!!!! My last baby needs to be a baby a little longer :-)

What a month!

 Going to the ward halloween party.

 One of my best friends moved :-(

 Apple hill of course

 An attempt at a family pic. Bad light but ok, thanks mom.

Yummy Thanksgiving at my mom's house.

This past month has been quite a whirlwind. My friend moved. Still mad at her for that! After we went to Utah Ev got sick and we've had doctor after doctor appointments. Pretty sure Utah is cursed. Seriously for 4 weeks I went once or twice a week. Poor Evie. Her eczema flared up so bad and she started getting these weird open sores all over her body. They even ended up doing a biopsy. Nothing really came through on the biopsy so we are going to a specialist on Monday. Yuck. So sick of it! The past couple days her wounds have started heal so hopefully we are almost done with it! But on the up side we had a fun halloween and thanksgiving.

Utah trip!

All the grandbabies dressed up for Remmington's birthday party.

Up at my sister's property.

Thanksgiving point

Family pic! We were going to do everyone but Mikey couldn't come.

I took a little trip to Utah from Wed-Mon. I had 3 free tickets and since Mikey quit his job to go out on his own I thought now would be the time since we're not dirt poor yet :-) I have 3 siblings in Utah and my other sister and I planned it so we would go out there at the same time and my mom joined us over the weekend so we all got to be together. It was so fun! We did Cafe Rio, Kneaders, Paradise Bakery, the chocolate, brunch at Sundance, Wingers, Gardner village and Thanksgiving Point. Can you tell we love food? ;-)
