Grandpa Howard Turns 80

We had a party for my Grandpa Howard who will be 80 on Feb. 28. We ate at Texas road house and their when it is your birthday they have you sit on a saddle......







It was alot of fun seeing my family. We all loved the food and boy was it alot so we all had left overs.

Valentines Day



Darren was in the hospital with Trey and so I had to think quick for the boys... Candy hearts that Mason likes and Chocolate that Chase likes. Then we gave Darren a snickers when he got home. We also was given dinner by Dave & Nicole. Who is our good friends and bishop. They got us heart shaped pizza from papa murphys:) I think that we will now have to start that tradition because it was alot of fun. Thanks again to the Gordon Family.

TUMMY TIME

Nothing like a little tummy time... with Chase their big brother showing them how to do it. Chase just cracks us up.

Lately

I just wanted to show that eveytime we went to the doctor they would say,"Let's try a breathign treatment" so here is proof that Mason & Chase both had to do it.....

There is a new candy store open in Cottonwood and so while Grandma & Grandpa Norton were visiting we went to see what it was all about. The boys loved it. Jan 30 2012

Jan 31 2012 There is a train by this burger place and Chase needed a photo....

Finally the Trey and Shaley... They do love each other even though when we put them together one usually ends up crying...

Trey's Hospital Stay Feb 10 - Feb 14

The worst happened that we didn't want to happen.... Trey had to go to the hospital.... I had noticed his breathing being harder and he sounded really congested. I called the pediatrician to see if they could look at him. Well they had no openings as usual. They told me to go to the emergency room. Well Chase had been on different medicine to try to get rid of an ear infection and he was still running fevers in the afternoon and would throw up. So I thought I will take them both to the urgent care and then go from there. Well they switched Chase to a different medicine and then told me I needed to take Trey to the Emergency room. So that is what I did. After being there from 4pm until 9pm they sent me home and told me to follow up with his pediatrician. (while in the hospital they had him do a breathing treatment, and then I kept letting them know that he wasn't eating, they then wanted to draw for blood to see if he had something else wrong with him. He did test positive for RSV but it wasn't in his lungs so there is nothing you can do. The nurses came in to draw blood and couldn't get any out of; his arms, hands, feet, knees and so they tried his HEAD. I wish I would have stopped them after 3 tries because they just brused him and still got no blood. They took his oxygen level and it was at 88 and they said lets watch it. Well thats when the dr said there was nothing else they could do because they can't take care of babies and so to go home and follow up.) During the hospital stay Nicole who is our life saver watched Mason until Darren got there to get him. So she then brought me some dinner and more formula for trey. I wasn't prepared to stay that long. So the next day she was talking with our friend Jolynn and told her our story. Come to find out Jolynns daughter had just gotten out of Phoenix Childrens Hospital with RSV. So she called and said to us can I come over and look at Trey. Well she saw him and said, "You need to get a second opinion". She told us about her experience at the local hospital here and said go to PCH and you won't regret it. So we got Mason off to school and was going to go to the pediatricians office when we decided we want to make sure he is ok and not see the PA at the dr office. So we loaded up and got to the hospital at 12pm and they monitored him and suctioned his nose. Finally about 5 pm they said we need to keep him over night because his oxygen would drop low while he slept and just wasn't eating at all at this point. So Darren was the one that was going to stay with Trey and I took Shaley and Chase home to meet up with Mason. Well it turns out Trey got alot worse. To where he had to have oxygen on the whole time. He was in the hospital from Friday Febuary 10 night to Tuesday Febuary 14. My parents went to the hospital on Saturday to see Trey and visit with Darren. Darren would get really bored. My parents then went and saw Darren again on Sunday and then decided they would come to the house Sunday night so Monday morning they could take the truck to Darren so when he got released he would be able to leave instead of having to wait for me to come get him. Darren said he was so glad that my parents came because it gave him someone to talk to and also he could leave the room and get fresh air and not feel bad for leaving Trey. Darren also had some visitors that were his brother Garrett, Greg, and Jake. Thank you all who helped us get through this trail. We are so greatful for people willing to help out when needed. Trey is doing alot better and Shaley got it a little bit but not to where she needed the hospital.

Trey

Trey has had issues since he was 3 weeks old about and got RSV. He has had so much congestion and snot in the back of his throat that its been rough on the little guy. Well the last time I went to the doctor they said we need to start breathing treatments and see if it helps. He doesn't like it at all. He screams until the last couple of minutes and then he relaxes. So far it has help alittle bit. He doesn't cough as much as he was. Fingers crossed he doesn't pass to much to his sister. She has started to sound stuff and cough. So we will see.

Baby Blessing 1-29-2012

We blessed the babies on January 29 2012
























We were going to do the blessing the first sunday in Feb. but when we got the call Tuesday night that Darren would be gone Monday Jan. 30 & 31 for the furniture market we changed it. I didn't want to have to stay alone with the kids since they are super fussy at night. So since it was last minute changes some people weren't able to make it. We still had Alan, Sharlie, Dannon, Jaxon and Marlene come, along with my parents. It was still very nice and I was glad to have help while Darren was gone.

We are growing fast
