Ice fishing

 These are pictures of when we went ice fishing at Pineview at the first of the month. It was a much needed outing after a very long Winter! We all had a great time fishing, sledding and hanging out with family. Unfortunately Carter and Brendan got sun burnt pretty bad. I felt terrible, but I promise you I won't ever forget sunscreen again!

 Carter was so proud of himself for catching this fish all by himself!

Boston even got two at the same time...now that's talent!

Our trip to Primary Children's Hospital

 Monday, March 4th was by far the worst day of my life! It started bright and early when I went to pick up our neighbor girl for school. I forgot to put my car in park and rolled my car into her parents garage door. Then on top of  and Carter already having a swollen face from being sun burnt on Saturday (a side effect from the antibiotics he was on that I didn't know about) I just so happened to glance in the toilet that Carter never flushes and noticed that there was blood in the water, and a lot of it. It of course scared me, so I called our pediatrician who had us come right in. Carter ended up having an accident in the office so Dr. Allred was able to see the blood. So he decided that it would be best for us to be admitted to Primary Children's hospital in SLC. Ummm, can I just say scary!!! After an overnight stay and some testing the conclusion was that he had C. Diff. colitis. Which is an intestinal infection that he got from the antibiotics he was on from the staph infection he caught after he had his tonsils out in January. He also was a little anemic (probably from the intestinal bleeding) A couple of weeks before some blood work had also come back that his IgM level was way low also. It has something to do with his immune system not having enough antibodies in it. The official name for that is "selective IgM deficiency" it's not too serious unless combined with other low or high blood tests or if it gets too low. He is also still having upper stomach issues so we went to a G.I. at the TOSH hospital in Murray they suggested some things it could be and had him do another stool sample and more blood work and to schedule a scope to be done at Primary Children's in Riverton on April 19. For the most part I think he is doing good. We just need to get this poor kid feeling better again!

 He got absolutely spoiled by his nurse Beverly. I wish I would have gotten a picture of him with her. She was great, she kept telling him she wanted him to get a fever so he would have to stay with her! But I was very glad to be sent home, hospital beds are terrible!

 He got to order anything of the menu all day long!

Thank you to our family for all of the love, support and prayers. We couldn't have survived it without you. WE LOVE YOU!

Family Pictures

We had our pictures taken...finally. They turned out SUPER cute despite that it was freezing and Carter apparently had strep throat!
Logan is 15. Brylee is 7. Boston is 6. Carter is 4. Brendan is 1.

LOVE my family!

Where is Carter...

 Here he is!!! This poor little guy has had a heck of a month. After getting his tonsils out and getting staph infection he now has a terrible cold and strep throat. He just can't seem to win. He has however been loving all the bubble bath's he has been getting! Getter better little dude!

V-day

 Ben sure knows the way to my heart...two dozen roses and a box of chocolate! He had these delivered the day before Valentines. It was a very nice surprise and they smell wonderful!

 For family night we had the Peck's over to frost sugar cookies. The girls all wanted mustaches!

It was a good V-day this year. I got to volunteer in Brylee's class and do a craft with everyone. And we had our traditional heart pizza for dinner. Unfortunately some of us have been sick so it could of been better but I won't complain too much!

Fremont Cheer

 Boys and their basketball!

 Brylee cheerleading for the boys basketball game at halftime.

 Bry and Addi got to do it together this year which was pretty cool! They are getting way to grown up it seems like just yesterday they were babies!

We sure have us a sweetheart. We sure love her!!

Brendan's one year checkup

 Brendan had his one year visit with Dr. Allred and here are his stats~

Height: 30 in. - 70%

Weight: 22 lb. 11 oz. - 52%

Head circumference: 49.5 cm. - 80%

 He is pretty darn adorable if you ask me!

 He is such a happy boy unless you get mad at him then you get the saddest face in the world!

We are so in love with his cute personality. Brendan loves music, to give kisses, walk on his knees, laugh, read books, to be tickled, go on wagon rides, snuggle sucking his thumb and holding his minky blanket. He doesn't like stuffed animals (they freak him out) or anything fuzzy (it makes him get grossed out and wrinkle his nose). He is a great eater and sleeper and has the cutest smile you have ever seen! He is just PERFECT, we love you Brenny bear!

Sage

 

We added another member to our chaotic family! Meet Sage our  new lab puppy. She is actually Ben's dog, he had begging me for a hunting dog for years and I finally caved! I mean come on, who could resist that face!!! She is so sweet and mellow. We love her so much already. Now if only I didn't have to potty train...she would be perfect!

My sister and me!

 

 Brylee is so good with Brendan. And he just loves helping her out! I thought they were so cute playing the piano together. He got a little crazy at times!
