Momma's world coming to an end...

So the world is coming to an end. Oh what a world, what a world. Momma's little baby is growing up.

Blast, the video won't load... But just in case I can't get this to work later. Bobby was scooting around onthe floor after some magazines Sarah was going through. She pushed them out of his reach, but he just pulled himself forward and got them again. Luke, Leona, Emma and I are way excited, but Sarah is getting worried. She misses her little baby.  Love you all, Thom.

Abby's Princess Party!

Yesterday at my mom's work (the MATC in Lehi) they had "Princess Party!" and Abby had a blast! First they did her hair, then her nails, put some cute makeup on her, and then the princess party. She had so much fun!

Abby sat so still while they did her hair, I was so impressed!

Her cute braid! How the girl did this with her short hair I am not sure but it looked so cute!

Cute curls in the back.

Painting her finger nails. Abby wanted pink and purple.

Abby's cute makeup!

Cupcake time!

What a cute girl!

Abby the princess!

Trick or Treat?!

On Saturday we went to Jody and Erik's ward Trunk or Treat to be with all the cousins. Adelaide had a great time. After a few cars, she learned the she just had to stand there, look adorable, and people handed her candy! After a row of cars I suggested we stop since we didn't need the candy, but Addie was so excited and enjoying it so much we kept going. Needless to say, mommy and daddy made out like bandits. 

I'm glad we went to the ward activity because Adelaide had surgery today to put tubes in her ears. She had 6 double ear infections last winter, persistent fluid in her ears all summer which was starting to affect her hearing, and has already had two double ear infections this October. Because of this chronic history, the doctor decided to put Adelaide on a breathing treatment leading up to the surgery. This was to clear up any wheezing or coughing and get her in tip top shape for surgery. 

This is her nebulizer, Lu Seal. She has been such a champ with her medicine. We actually use it as blackmail. 

Us: Let's put your Jammie's on. 

Addie: Noooooooooo!

Us: Do you want your medicine? 

Addie: yea. 

Us: Then you have to put your Jammie's on. 

Addie: ok. 

What kid does that?!

This morning we had to be at the hospital by 7:10. Yea, kiddo went in her pajamas. 

Adelaide became overwhelmed with anything we or the nurses asked her to do. Even offering to put on her wrist band was like offering to burn her with acid. So Minnie Mouse being all over her hospital pajamas was really the only way we got her to cooperate with changing. 

She also brought her buddy with her and had fun giving him treatment too! That is a foam nose. She wasn't interested I wearing it, but it was hilarious if daddy or buddy did. 

They gave her a relaxant to make administering the anesthesia easier. It made her all groggy. They gave us bubbles to blow for her and she was reaching out for them saying pop pop pop. Remember the scene in Young Frankenstien when the Monster comes to life and he's reaching in the air in a daze? Yea, that was Adelaide. This is just before going in for surgery. 

Putting the oxygen/anesthesia mask on her, watching her fall asleep,and walking away was terrible. We had to wait in the waiting room for the doctor to come tell us how it went. That was such a long 13 minutes! Tim timed it. In reality it is a very short and simple procedure, but when it's your child in there, that doesn't matter, you just want it over with. 

After she woke from anesthesia she was very fussy and disoriented. I held her close and softly sang songs. She fell back asleep, which was a great way to help the anesthesia wear off. 

After we got her home, this happened:

Then this happened:

Then this happened:

The THIS happened:

Thank you Gee Gee and Papa! These little fairies were just the trick to help her settle back in at home. 

She took a good nap in her crib, then woke up burning up. We gave her Tylenol and she snuggled and napped on and off for a while with daddy who was finally winding down from the stress of the day. 

While daddy was out getting more medicine (and animal crackers as a treat), Adelaide and I relaxed on the couch, ate Cheerios, and watched Phineas and Ferb. Adelaide LOVES any time Perry the Platypus is on or when there is dancing. 

I also decided her zebra costume was just going to be too hot for our feverish girl, so I put her in a lightweight white dress and, voilà, she was a ghost!

Just to top it off, we threw a white blanket over her. Anytime we put a blanket on her head she rocks side to side, says ghooooost, pulls off the blanket and yells "boo!" 

Despite it being a rough day, we also managed to enjoy celebrating Danielle's birthday too!

Can't wait to see everyone else's costumes!!

Halloween Costume's 2013

Yesterday I decided to have Abby and Liam's photos taken with their Halloween costumes (I usually do it Halloween day which seems to be a less then ideal). My talented brother Austin took their photos while I tried to keep Abby and Liam happy and smiling. I think they turned out GREAT! 

Abby has been in love with the tv show "Little Einsteins" for quite a while now so I decided to have them dress up as two of the main characters. It actually turned out quite perfect for a couple of reasons. First off Abby is blonde with blue eyes which matches perfectly with Annie. Abby loves to sing and so does Annie. With Liam though his character has red hair (which I was able to fix with a little temporary hair dye) he also has green eyes which seems to be the color Liam's eyes are slowing turning. The best part is they are brother and sister in the show, worked out better then I could imagine!

8 Months Old!

Love you Liam! I can't believe how fast you are growing up my little smiley boy.

Matt's birthday!

Yesterday Matt celebrated his 37th birthday! I try to make his birthday as amazing as possible. We usually will try to do a little one night get-a-way but with us going to Disneyland on the 5th both our time and funds are a little strapped. Despite that I tried my best to make him have the best birthday!

No matter how hard we try we can never wait past 8am to open presents, lol. First thing in the morning Matt opened his presents from us. I think Abby was more excited to open his gift then he was. We bought a a new car several months ago and Matt wanted an organizer to put in the trunk so I got him that as well as a couple gift cards and a new mouse pad with the kids pictures on it. That night we enjoyed dinner at Tucanos while my brother and mom watched the kids. It was great to have a little date night with Matt on his birthday. I love my hubby so much!
