I am finally trying to take the time to record my life during these last crazy 6 weeks. Six weeks postpartum...I can't believe I am already there! I blinked and October was over. :)<br /><br />Thank you to my sweet hubby for doing the post about the arrival of our little Crew man. Although he chose pics I may never have posted (the new baby gunk and the lovely part that proves he is a boy), I really appreciate Jeb taking the time to do that. Thanks Sweetie! Notice how there has not been a post by either of us since the sweet, calm time in the hospital with baby No. 4. That's because there are not a lot of calm moments in our household these days. I feel like Crew is most comfortable when there is a lot of craziness and chaos going on because that is all he has known. It makes Jeb and I smile though because this is what we wanted for our family. :) We are finally getting into a groove and it feels really nice. I will try to update through pictures so I don't bore everyone with rantings of my "exciting" life. As I was going through the pictures I realized there aren't really any of me...I will try to work on that. I am usually taking the pictures! They are mostly of Crew. I promised my Mom that I would show her more of what he looks like now.<br />It is hard for me to think through getting them in the right order, so I will just put on a bunch from the whole month.<br /><br /><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg94sn_O1AObACuNbwQe9Ozjmf9qmEQcAHpo4gR7ELSokSszkQ869tfK7WR01kzvNfLK_1jYXrzoErlvZaHQW_6m2B4ywx4S5zbH_Qe-_tTxp83RhN-9BF_qELRT25HF2Y0ZWNMHuwrGQEO/s1600-h/Oct+08+292+(Small).jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5264677817679951522" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg94sn_O1AObACuNbwQe9Ozjmf9qmEQcAHpo4gR7ELSokSszkQ869tfK7WR01kzvNfLK_1jYXrzoErlvZaHQW_6m2B4ywx4S5zbH_Qe-_tTxp83RhN-9BF_qELRT25HF2Y0ZWNMHuwrGQEO/s320/Oct+08+292+(Small).jpg" border="0" /></a> Halloween!

I will try to get on that. I just wanted to post something that wasn't so depressing! We took Savannah to the Endocronologist on Wednesday and the good news is that her cyst is not effecting her pituitary gland and we have nothing to worry about in that area of her brain. Yay! An easy appointment! Now we just have to monitor the great amount of fluid that is sitting in the back of her brain, but it is stable for now. :)<br /><br />The boys started practicing soccer 2 weeks ago and had their first game on Saturday. I should have taken pictures of that but during Blake's game Landen got his first bee sting (traumatic) and during Landen's game I was talking too much! We have been with the same players on Landen's team for almost 2 years now (give and take a few) so it is fun to catch up every season. The boys did awesome and really had fun. We usually have them on the same team but Landen is in U8 this year and it is a bit more intense. We decided to have Blake play 1 year up instead of 2 and he is doing great. What does this mean for us? Jeb is coaching 2 separate teams! Arghhh! Every Tuesday and Thursday the boys have 2 hours of practice instead of 1 because they stay for each other's practices. We haul all of our crap around to two different games every Saturday. I know a lot of families have it worse, but last season was so nice to deal with just one team. Oh well, I really need to get used to my soccer life. :) <br /><br />As for me, the baby should be coming so soon. It is very uncomfortable at this stage of course, but I don't mind moments like yesterday....I was making dinner and my ankles started to swell so Jeb made me sit down, put my feet up and took over. He then took all of the kids on a Sunday bike ride (yes, we think it is a good family activity on Sunday :)) and came home and put them to bed. It was nice. Hopefully, our new unnamed addition will come soon but not too soon. My brother, Adam gets married to Erin on Friday so I am trying to hold out for my mom! :) I would really like her here for the kids while I am in the hospital. We have all kind of taken turns needing her around lately. She is such a great Mom! I hope we don't run her ragged. <br /><br />Jeb and Savannah are doing great. Savannah loves soccer practice because there is a playground right next to the field this year. She freaks if I don't let her stay and play. She calls the playground "soccer practice" and begs to go to the "soccer practice" the whole car ride over. :) Jeb is playing softball with the ward late Monday nights, indoor soccer late Tuesday nights, outdoor pickup games early Saturday mornings, serving as Education director on the soccer board, coaching the boys T and Th, and leading our ward choir on Sundays....oh, and occasionally he works. He is a busy guy during the fall season! He is also a huge Michigan football fan so he will watch a few of those games (he lived in Michigan before he moved to Ohio). <br /><br />Well, this is all pre-4th baby life for us! We will see how it all plays out over the next couple weeks. I will try to get more pictures added so I won't ramble so much!:)Jeb and Beccahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11218686115582535657noreply@blogger.com7tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8428602993717888293.post-29690645328883544782008-08-30T08:54:00.005-06:002008-08-31T13:15:38.273-06:00Savannah's MRISo yesterday we had Savannah's MRI. We were exhausted to say the least. The night before (Thursday) we stayed up late watching the Dem. Natl. Convention on TV (here in Denver:)) and the next morning we had to be at the hospital at 6:00 am.<br /><br />I was planning on getting up at 4:45 so we could leave at 5:15 but I awoke with a start at 3:55 remembering my tooth fairy duties for Blake! Yikes...we have already forgotten too many times. So I took care of that and decided to just stay up and get moving. We sent Landen off to the neighbors so he could get to school (thanks Brooke!) and pulled Blake and Savannah out of bed. I couldn't feed Savannah at all before the procedure so I made Blake wait also so she wouldn't see any food. He is such a trooper and was very good about it.<br /><br />When she had an MRI done at 3 months old it took her a long time to be put to sleep because she would never completely relax and fall into the sleep. So I thought it was going to take awhile to put her out and they would start the process right when we arrived. Oh no, we did lots of waiting, paperwork, etc. So poor little kids had been up so early and still couldn't have any food or drink (I did sneak Blake out and gave him something to hold him over). Finally at 8:30 they got Savannah into the room. They wheeled her down the hall in a wheelchair and she thought it was the coolest stroller she had ever seen! :) Jeb took her into the room as they put her to sleep and she screamed for 20 seconds and was out cold. He had to leave her after that and let them take all of the pictures of her brain. We took Blake down to the cafeteria to get him some breakfast and he loved it so much! He kept asking if we could go back there for lunch.<br /><br />We came back to the waiting room to wait for Savannah and I went in to help her come out of the anesthesia. It was hilarious to watch her come out because she was so disoriented. She sat up at one point and yelled "horseys!" and then fell back to sleep. Anyway, we finally got her out of there and we were so happy the long ordeal was over. We got to take all of the films with us so we can show the Endocrinologist (sp?) on Wednesday. We got home just in time to get Blake off to school. Jeb took him and headed off to work (although it had already felt like a very full day). I was so excited because Savannah was going to take a nap and then I was going to crash for 2 hours before the kids got home from school (I was so exhausted!)<br /><br />I was reading stories to Savannah in her room on the floor when the phone rang. Now remember, I am 8 months pregnant so once I am on the floor it takes great effort to get up :). I let the machine get it and it was my pediatrician. She said, "Rebecca, call me as soon as you can and even if I am with a patient have them come and get me." My heart just sank. I didn't want to call her. I quickly put Savannah in bed and got up the courage to call. She told me the radiologist that looked at our scan saw a mass (tumor, etc.) near her pineal (sp?) gland area in her brain and we needed to get to Primary Children's to see our neurologist (Dr. Handler who we have seen many times before) right away. This was a whole new thing, totally unrelated to her Dandy-walker cyst that she has had since she was born in the back of her brain. Needless to say I started freaking out, hyperventilating, feeling like I was going to throw myself into labor, you name it. I called Jeb and told him to come and get us, we have to go to the hospital right now(Lisa Marie, I immediately thought of you and all you have gone through recently...it is the most horrible feeling to think there is something wrong with your child).<br /><br />Jeb got home and we went straight to Primary Children's. We did the MRI that morning at Presby. St. Luke's so we had to bring our scans with us. The whole way I felt dizzy, over tired, sick and emotional. Jeb kept trying to tell me, we don't know anything yet, let's wait until we find out more (trying to be strong). I told him it was too late because I am so pregnant and so tired, there is nothing that will keep the tears back. I kept thinking about brain surgery, not enjoying the baby coming because of stress, etc, etc. I couldn't look back at her happy little face in her carseat without feeling so much pain.<br /><br />We got to the hospital and our wonderful and very interesting neurologist (who squeezed us into his schedule so we wouldn't have to wait the holiday weekend) comes in. He says "What the hell is going on here?" He looked and looked at her scans and asked if we have a copy of her previous MRI from when she was 3 months old? I told him we had it done in Virginia and that Primary Children's should have them on file because I have brought them in before. He looked it up and had them and was able to compare the two. He said she has always had this in her pineal gland area (sp?) and it is not a mass, it is another cyst. The kind of cyst that a lot of children have that will hopefully go away eventually (the kind of cyst we were hoping Savannah had instead of her Dandy-Walker). He said if you would have done your MRI here we could have found that out much easier because we have all of her records and we have seen a lot of children's brains. He went and got a couple of other opinions and all of the doctors agreed.<br /><br />I felt color come back into my face and immense relief. Jeb and I were so happy to have better news! What an awful, traumatic experience! My heart went out to so many at Primary Children's who get such horrible news about their precious little ones. The Dr. said he wants us to do another MRI in 3 months to take a look at it again but for now we can rest easy. It is so creepy knowing she has another cyst but apparently it is more common than her Dandy-walker and may just go away. He said her Dandy-walker (near her cerebellum in the back of her brain) looks scary and bigger but it is stable for now. We still have to see the Endocrinologist on Wednesday but I don't think she will have anything life-threatening going on. We can deal with anything else right now as long as we know she is going to be okay.<br /><br />Jeb and I couldn't believe how much peace we felt after leaving that place. There happened to be a Dairy Queen down the street from the hospital (my favorite pregnancy treat is a chocolate blizzard with M and M's :)) and we made a stop! Thank you for all of your prayers and support. I know I made this story really long with lots of details, but I want to remember it. When she is driving me crazy as a pre-teen I can look back and remember how grateful I am that she is doing so well despite her underdeveloped brain. :) We slept really well last night and feel so much better today. My heart goes out to those who don't get such relief and have so much worry to deal with. Since having Savannah I have definitely gained more empathy for others. Thanks to all of our friends and family.Jeb and Beccahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11218686115582535657noreply@blogger.com10tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8428602993717888293.post-88357972900040701812008-08-26T22:13:00.003-06:002008-08-26T22:43:05.082-06:00UpdatesThere are many pictures posted below of the Buffington family in the last couple of months! As you can tell I have not kept up on my goal to update more often. Our baby is coming so soon I figure I better do it now before I have more to post! <br /><br />As you can see we have a few different pictures from our trip to Utah. We went to Bear Lake and had such a great time with all of my Mom's side of the family. Cousins, aunts, uncles and grandparents all stayed in a great house on a very quiet part of Bear Lake. I am the oldest cousin so I have lots of young cousins that are my kids' ages. They loved being free and having so many friends there. We had a hard time getting back to everyday life. <br /><br />School has started already (Aug. 19) and the kids were so excited! Landen's in 2nd grade and Blake's in kindergarten. They are loving it but Savannah doesn't like to be left behind. I've been trying to hang out with her a lot and it's been fun to have some one- on- one time with her before the baby comes. I miss the boys but it's perfect timing as I'm getting more and more uncomfortable and less anxious to do a lot of entertaining. <br /><br />We had a great summer. We swam a lot and my kids are finally catching up to others with swimming. Landen hasn't done a lot of swimming lessons in the past and has never been super comfortable in the water. We did swim lessons this summer and I think it helped him a lot. Blake is our little fish, he's doing really well.<br /><br /> Blake's had quite a lot of medical issues this past month. He had a staph infection which was scary because that is something you do not mess around with. We were nervous for a few days and were on pins and needles hoping the infection would not spread through his blood. He was on loads of medication and in a lot of pain. Luckily, after a few days they figured out the right antibiotic that killed it and it was smooth sailing after that. At the same time we figured out his tubes had finally fallen out (he didn't get them until he was 4) and he had double ear infections. Poor kid. A couple weeks later he started losing his voice and not feeling great (around the first day of school). While we were in Savannah's 2 year check up appointment the doctor heard him coughing. She listened to his breathing and said he had bronchitis and double ear infections again. So she sent us home with more antibiotics and another trip to the ENT for the possibility of more tubes. Luckily he is not a complainer but I feel bad for the poor kid. <br /><br />A lot has been going on as we try to relax and prepare for the baby (hah!). At Savannah's 2 year checkup the doctor declared it is time to get a look at her brain again. We have to meet with an Endicronologist (sp?) to check out some things with her pituitary gland. They want to get a good look at that and her Dandy-walker cyst so they are doing an MRI. I know she'll be fine but I hate that they have to put her under. I am trying to get all of this taken care of before I have the baby...I hope there are no more issues to deal with! Please keep her in your prayers. <br /><br />I hope you enjoy the pictures and I will update how the MRI turns out (it is on Friday). In the meantime Jeb and I are missing his brother Jacob's wedding and my brother Adam's wedding which we are super bummed about! Good luck you guys! Also my brother Brandon and his wife Stacy just had a darling new baby that they named Lily. I can't wait to be able to travel and see everyone again.Jeb and Beccahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11218686115582535657noreply@blogger.com10tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8428602993717888293.post-69972673397121706592008-08-26T21:17:00.014-06:002008-08-26T22:13:03.757-06:00August Happenings<div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZCw-a95MFeXSyClIGtMYGhDskZi7UlyZxuGGbW9ZNofvIUnoIB-whrjDz1j4OOGWDC4ZNQNH6Ly6jOjVdvdXxktrhfqo4ZnxsajCglClQB0O0k1qMY2oO61_yg7JOt7kZKgk8zaYO926a/s1600-h/CIMG1359+(Small).JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5239043041270477074" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiZCw-a95MFeXSyClIGtMYGhDskZi7UlyZxuGGbW9ZNofvIUnoIB-whrjDz1j4OOGWDC4ZNQNH6Ly6jOjVdvdXxktrhfqo4ZnxsajCglClQB0O0k1qMY2oO61_yg7JOt7kZKgk8zaYO926a/s320/CIMG1359+(Small).JPG" border="0" /></a> Landen's First day of 2nd grade<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_DU1dKGtoUK8OGWlqV7fopAQA4WIX4O9RMbLNAq5jsxYTjC9GGXuTcSRduQedAXNTnpzfsIwqUG4pCM1DnpJqjdFVzvj25HmASpf_B0HZgiugbkj3Y9WRks1wLYAMPFQ53-uj6n77OMqI/s1600-h/CIMG1372+(Small).JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5239042922762084258" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_DU1dKGtoUK8OGWlqV7fopAQA4WIX4O9RMbLNAq5jsxYTjC9GGXuTcSRduQedAXNTnpzfsIwqUG4pCM1DnpJqjdFVzvj25HmASpf_B0HZgiugbkj3Y9WRks1wLYAMPFQ53-uj6n77OMqI/s320/CIMG1372+(Small).JPG" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirBMyD6SZxr7lT5lrXgy-BF0-Fx38OjCPF7CxrF8pa22Twbwd3d6LH5rVfi-xItqAbVlvmhQJJpAYa4V_oLtLQgle6GopZBGBf7w8B4RiVJaDqguOlvl5PBMmQLDwyVIPM7mDw_-pgXUGz/s1600-h/CIMG1381+(Small).JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5239042784155105810" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirBMyD6SZxr7lT5lrXgy-BF0-Fx38OjCPF7CxrF8pa22Twbwd3d6LH5rVfi-xItqAbVlvmhQJJpAYa4V_oLtLQgle6GopZBGBf7w8B4RiVJaDqguOlvl5PBMmQLDwyVIPM7mDw_-pgXUGz/s320/CIMG1381+(Small).JPG" border="0" /></a>Blake goes to 1/2 day kindergarten.

She was in the hospital for 21 days, but thankfully she survived. It has been a long and emotional recovery that continues everyday.She has joined the ARDS Foundation team to attend a fund raising walk on Sept. 21, 2008. For every donation that is made over $40, Abbi will give the donor an original drawing created specifically for them. The drawings will be done on 100% cotton rag paper with pen, pencil, and ink. You will receive your drawing in the mail by mid October, 2008.After donating towards the Hike for Lung Health, email Abbi (abbiisraelsen@yahoo.com) with three words that she will use to inspire a drawing as a thank you gift.The drawings will be shown at the Anton Art Center for a special fund raising exhibition Sept. 12-Oct. 3, 2008. All proceeds made from the exhibition will be donated for ARDS research.If you would like to read more about Abbi's journey through ARDS visit her website.<br /><a href="http://drawingforards.blogspot.com/">http://drawingforards.blogspot.com/</a><br />The website with her story is:<br /><a href="http://mystoryards.blogspot.com/">http://mystoryards.blogspot.com/</a><br />Hike fundraising page: <a href="http://my.imisfriendraising.com/personalPage.aspx?registrationID=260155&LangPref=en-CA">http://my.imisfriendraising.com/personalPage.aspx?registrationID=260155&LangPref=en-CA</a><br />Abbi's artwork website:<br /><a href="http://www.abbigailisraelsen.com/">www.abbigailisraelsen.com</a><br /><br />She is a talented artist and has done some beautiful work!

I guess I am still competitive when I am 6 months pregnant. :) At least my boys were impressed! :) <br /><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvBdcSPCKwQbwTKg0ybs5ODL1_SbPB6pFWdB0MWorWkm4pHHxr5hAZwjcZTFW6rwiufcopIbGYx5baghBeVUG9-FiZ6l9ig9bJfrha6Wlo17CZb9yBZD-CdGvA2UNNk282VEldAiwp_glY/s1600-h/CIMG1082+(Small).JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5216588269028779010" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjvBdcSPCKwQbwTKg0ybs5ODL1_SbPB6pFWdB0MWorWkm4pHHxr5hAZwjcZTFW6rwiufcopIbGYx5baghBeVUG9-FiZ6l9ig9bJfrha6Wlo17CZb9yBZD-CdGvA2UNNk282VEldAiwp_glY/s320/CIMG1082+(Small).JPG" border="0" /></a> Yummy, messy watermelon!<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRXcmia0nw9Zi9iJ0NLjtDmzxgz_0OEnNZuQOhMc-RUCjTwfgguvDrshJ6ssHvj4Vp_7MwKzYLL7HxxJ_oX4uSXFilDhLUx7pBH0eiJsvBscXViZv7t1Bz3kiIojRslSkmR_oFVp2QxpbO/s1600-h/CIMG1083+(Small).JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5216588146889639842" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRXcmia0nw9Zi9iJ0NLjtDmzxgz_0OEnNZuQOhMc-RUCjTwfgguvDrshJ6ssHvj4Vp_7MwKzYLL7HxxJ_oX4uSXFilDhLUx7pBH0eiJsvBscXViZv7t1Bz3kiIojRslSkmR_oFVp2QxpbO/s320/CIMG1083+(Small).JPG" border="0" /></a><br />What a fun night!<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJqjbPWx25QBkEcnNDP8YOwILXv3mRaXn_PpQdDKtttMZf3HfiWcGJKggSVh35ylzPC97_l04w-CgakZ4XDuLlr2AVdbr3wLNbZFbeyH_EW9Q1bYbdRO-5nIAbRi-zMoXWgLLek8SBfQ4g/s1600-h/CIMG1035+(Small).JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5216587962524346050" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiJqjbPWx25QBkEcnNDP8YOwILXv3mRaXn_PpQdDKtttMZf3HfiWcGJKggSVh35ylzPC97_l04w-CgakZ4XDuLlr2AVdbr3wLNbZFbeyH_EW9Q1bYbdRO-5nIAbRi-zMoXWgLLek8SBfQ4g/s320/CIMG1035+(Small).JPG" border="0" /></a><br />You know I can't resist pictures when I capture such sweetness between my kids. <br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7c1hPfMf6Blpm56tOk6YePDhsSE-EzNFhbqFi29OUUwjw-KGW5V5uDq1gcdQuHK0k9rZY4d-rO5znAhpiRvSWRlW8fF9VKvuAwv0tc422PtFCFcKWSDLtvJ7GZ6tLUhXO-dsVULjKK4ol/s1600-h/CIMG1040+(Small).JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5216587831762049186" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi7c1hPfMf6Blpm56tOk6YePDhsSE-EzNFhbqFi29OUUwjw-KGW5V5uDq1gcdQuHK0k9rZY4d-rO5znAhpiRvSWRlW8fF9VKvuAwv0tc422PtFCFcKWSDLtvJ7GZ6tLUhXO-dsVULjKK4ol/s320/CIMG1040+(Small).JPG" border="0" /></a> When they decide to spend this kind of time with her all on their own my heart leaps with joy!

She started to reach for her cake before we sang and touch the candles and Landen and I both kind of jumped on her and told her to "Stop! No!". It started the whole thing off bad because we freaked her out. She finally calmed down and opened a few presents. She was very happy with her new stroller, baby and camping chair. Our neighbors are so great! Now we get to go celebrate again with family in Utah. Nothing like a marathon 2-year old birthday. <br /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBErJOYu8YiOWJpptekJU9L8vQrV0PbpwlIiOHU9hDBg3MVPZnjwojhAvaoZueqdbkxvrrRHhzxjwpBmC3w6V8xuM756lANUC_WHMrUyW-NseTqMo5Sxl98iMvgi5V46EW6lmk8qTwA87C/s1600-h/CIMG1113+(Small).JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5216586912844795650" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgBErJOYu8YiOWJpptekJU9L8vQrV0PbpwlIiOHU9hDBg3MVPZnjwojhAvaoZueqdbkxvrrRHhzxjwpBmC3w6V8xuM756lANUC_WHMrUyW-NseTqMo5Sxl98iMvgi5V46EW6lmk8qTwA87C/s320/CIMG1113+(Small).JPG" border="0" /></a><br />Blake and Bella are best friends.

The kid's team name is Fire and they had these special shirts made for the whole team to wear (normally you can just wear a red shirt). As you can see they are more like dresses for my boys who are the shortest kids on the team. Granted Blake is only 5 playing on a 7 year old team (poor Landen). Side note: Jeb was 5'1" his freshman year of high school and he grew to 6'1" in a year....hopefully Landen will follow suit!<br /><br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5204517689629826658" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh95d0JtTWbxRUyakegJl8nsyyviA6v5agR_9Qm9QQTZys-Ai96bX5wsJ48aAI7Y-AeUk2-0N7gvuMk1saMVkY8EjfMoEcDXxo74drfTF8ASJy_FinvcUt4yEw_SigwOmnwAYMp4c7QWcXJ/s320/CIMG0680+(Small).JPG" border="0" /><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRRC68N7Z-mnPVzpUryKgpawx9Wf1RDSykbDFjSXDznXQ7EFmsKJ8-FgRKWlO1a0pNnpH6H3cG04wa6WpL1r56c1w5tJ7xt5uObedLjfkvcPNwYe0KeB9kJDO74clJyhyeMZ3PbLINDrQI/s1600-h/CIMG0684+(Small).JPG"></a>They had a great time and then it started to snow!

I try to explain he has 3 months of summer to enjoy but he keeps asking me about meeting his new kindergarten teacher next week. He was so adorable singing his songs during his program. He knew every word and sang with lots of enthusiasm. :) Landen was always so embarrassed to be in front of people at this age and Blake loves it (Landen is not that way now and I wish I had a little bit of it back...it was cute).<br /><br /><br /><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhP6VcHlKbHHCi6DZ1l3IvQWvCH_9VEV3L3BJ8mFsz4XONqqdBWk65HF3YbUIa9Dj7kSZYBEVpBLnOe6dtW2uYYlExJWMlXs5OTKDns40XsnzES-gJ3_hfWUQg33nb09RU4QhJGOBcdazz7/s1600-h/CIMG0770+(Small).JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5204498383751831010" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhP6VcHlKbHHCi6DZ1l3IvQWvCH_9VEV3L3BJ8mFsz4XONqqdBWk65HF3YbUIa9Dj7kSZYBEVpBLnOe6dtW2uYYlExJWMlXs5OTKDns40XsnzES-gJ3_hfWUQg33nb09RU4QhJGOBcdazz7/s320/CIMG0770+(Small).JPG" border="0" /></a><br />Mom and her goofy, fun boys!<br /><br /><br /><div align="left"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrRAiK6NBJfWlKVri2Vj5lDeHYT_Vvqn8UFgVvaebEGu-hpyu5NjmxAYK4PPR9ZPz0XlMHGs9Hnhvv_WhZjP7wjXE7U_-1nGDwGFWUBgCjKVQpqnzDU0Tbv8UDOWDnxo2ybQLRf_3HRLsW/s1600-h/CIMG0796+(Small).JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5204498237722942930" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhrRAiK6NBJfWlKVri2Vj5lDeHYT_Vvqn8UFgVvaebEGu-hpyu5NjmxAYK4PPR9ZPz0XlMHGs9Hnhvv_WhZjP7wjXE7U_-1nGDwGFWUBgCjKVQpqnzDU0Tbv8UDOWDnxo2ybQLRf_3HRLsW/s320/CIMG0796+(Small).JPG" border="0" /></a><br />This was on our first day in Colorado Springs. We went to the Royal Gorge which was unbelievable! Of course the pictures never capture how amazing it was. This is on a bridge that was built in the 1800's that is the largest expansion bridge in the United States. It is a quarter of a mile long and 2000 feet high and the gorge is down below. It scared me a little as it swayed back and forth (I don't like heights) and cars kept driving past us on it. I was sure the cars were going to cause us to tumble down in the water and rocks below! Apparently Savannah did not want to join in this picture because she wanted to race ahead on the bridge.<br /></div><br /><div align="left"><br /></div><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEip3AQmKyp5tIOFaJpmyRTMyq7D5QMRf1aY2MqzX7jKOAa9n0n95XTxqVGumpk3wf9ly5jsKDPUDTi_U9igNPCDfb3UYlc-em0E0TZkAZmGKIqOngPNMs1L6BZrlTUciPduePvY5FWghJ-w/s1600-h/CIMG0801+(Small).JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5204498134643727810" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEip3AQmKyp5tIOFaJpmyRTMyq7D5QMRf1aY2MqzX7jKOAa9n0n95XTxqVGumpk3wf9ly5jsKDPUDTi_U9igNPCDfb3UYlc-em0E0TZkAZmGKIqOngPNMs1L6BZrlTUciPduePvY5FWghJ-w/s320/CIMG0801+(Small).JPG" border="0" /></a> This is the tram ride across the gorge for the way back. I chose not to look down too often! I don't know how I married my husband who gets a thrill out of heights. He is always the one telling the kids to jump up in these things and "lets make it sway" :). There is a good reason why I am not in a lot of these pictures. You see, the baby decided to grow a lot this past week or so and I have still been wearing a lot of "in-between" clothes (looser, normal clothes) and after seeing our pictures, it is obvious it is time for maternity :). I think this will be a big baby. Landen (my first) was 8 lbs. 11 oz. so I definitely don't produce small babies!<br /><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5204522521468034690" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgUAY-DkHUL0C6_KST83mCRoeDqSs9ogtGNnemyT9pioX38q5RW76j2k3CXcx3lYDiSJ3CJzhuqPfnXmD4jtn6ZnmldheV7Q-gy9QYhXWggfzVLSSNQv5kCTS80wvVFiQaEYsYiF5-Jomvk/s320/CIMG0808+(Small).JPG" border="0" />Landen still enjoys the carousel ride but he won't admit it.<br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEge83jwGrZRZkChKSMBNaRjvU9UDF-njrJMSpLPl_Ta-wTd6Es37pqtrdwxCgUNnP8LdDg_4iLZd8tlw6TvHtn2noKAn0SjfA9rycmJUI_ca-Bvx8-Do-NT9sv8C8PvPu-muiT44m4RJrzs/s1600-h/CIMG0829+(Small).JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5204498053039349170" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEge83jwGrZRZkChKSMBNaRjvU9UDF-njrJMSpLPl_Ta-wTd6Es37pqtrdwxCgUNnP8LdDg_4iLZd8tlw6TvHtn2noKAn0SjfA9rycmJUI_ca-Bvx8-Do-NT9sv8C8PvPu-muiT44m4RJrzs/s320/CIMG0829+(Small).JPG" border="0" /></a> Savannah and Jeb getting ready for the train ride. They had so many fun things to do at the Royal Gorge area. We went hiking, rode a vertical train down into the gorge and had a great time!

Blake has been able to do it for awhile, but Landen is a perfectionist. He would try and if he couldn't get it right away he would just give up. I suppose it is a lot of my fault since I hate dealing with laces and often opted for the non-lace shoes. But now he is feeling very confident and happy that he figured out the trick to getting it right (and is no longer one-upped by his younger brother! :))<br /><br /><br /><div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQKfrpVnSsQaUwSixmq_RU9WlNtABLeOlKfvDk8DPXe0ilxIjsOuS-IlbHDUt4kEnjZkTAmQsrTjsyDmRbthv7ailDLMN0iCS2fETb_Nyc-Gyhlk7mGtzfKLjbKJhR4tvoJsIG4sebv6AU/s1600-h/CIMG0932+(Small).JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5204496073059425522" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgQKfrpVnSsQaUwSixmq_RU9WlNtABLeOlKfvDk8DPXe0ilxIjsOuS-IlbHDUt4kEnjZkTAmQsrTjsyDmRbthv7ailDLMN0iCS2fETb_Nyc-Gyhlk7mGtzfKLjbKJhR4tvoJsIG4sebv6AU/s320/CIMG0932+(Small).JPG" border="0" /></a> Jeb and the boys walking into Garden of the Gods.

I love to read people's blogs who update frequently. It is so entertaining! I am probably on most people's list of "do not check very often because she never updates". My goal is to blog more frequently this summer because I have loved to go back to last year and read about the things we were doing and see pictures of my family. :)<br /><br />I got out my real handwritten journal on Mother's Day to write down some things and realized I hadn't written in there since Mother's Day 2007. My kids had so much fun reading what I wrote about each of them it made me want to recommit myself! We'll see.<br /><br />Life has been slowing down finally. Soccer is over, which helps a lot and school is almost out! The kids are really excited for summer and so am I! Last time I was pregnant I had to deal with Virginia humidity. Nothing will be as bad as that. :) Landen is about to finish 1st grade and move on to 2nd which blows me away. I remember 2nd grade very well and I can't believe he will be that old! He is in the process of getting braces right now. He is only 7 years old but he already has 8 permanent teeth almost fully grown in. Many of his classmates are just starting to lose their teeth and if they have, they just have spaces where the teeth are. Anyway, he has an issue they call "tongue thrust" where every time he swallows (which is many times a day) he pushes his teeth with his tongue. His teeth have started to push forward and fan out which is not a good thing. For the past 2 weeks he has had a device in has mouth that will re-train his tongue to hit the roof of his mouth when he swallows instead of thrust it forward. This has been a painful process for both Landen and Mom. You can only imagine what kind of device is put at the roof of his mouth to stop his tongue going forward. Lots of pokey things! He has had to re-learn to talk, eat and swallow and has been in a lot of pain. But, things are looking up and soon he will get 6 brackets put on his teeth to help move them back into place. He is thrilled! (Ha)<br /><br />Blake's last day of preschool is on Friday. He is sad because he loves his teacher, but so happy that he will finally be in Kindergarten at the same school as his brother. Blake turned 5 last October so he is going to be a very old kindergartner...he has been more than ready for a long time. It is getting really hot here so the kids have been putting the sprinkler under the trampoline and jumping for hours. I'm sure it is dangerous, but at least they aren't watching TV right? Their "wonderful" father has been teaching them some pretty amazing tricks that scare me really bad! We have some on video so I will have to figure out how to post those. Blake loves to be active. A couple mornings a week, I have tried to go on a run/jog (it is getting very difficult :)) and he rides his bike with me while I push Savannah. He lives to be outside and moving! He is such a fun kid.<br /><br />Savannah is always happy. She loves to jump on the trampoline or go to the park. She gets mad at her brothers if they try to get on while she is on there. They are finally learning to all jump together which makes it much easier on me. Otherwise I deal with her screaming (and it is not nice) because they are trying to get on or them complaining because they can't jump high while she is on. As she is getting older she is getting better and more stable so they can all have a good time out there. I love having a fenced-in backyard!<br /><br />Jeb and I are doing well. He has been very good to me through this pregnancy. He frequently runs to get me my chocolate blizzard with M&M's late at night even though he is tired. I guess I should admit he goes and gets Taco Bell, Quiznos and other wonderful things that I feel sound good at night-time too.:) I definitely got lucky finding him! We are going to Colorado Springs as a family for Memorial weekend just to relax and get away. We can't wait. Most of our trips are to see family, which is great, but this will be a nice change. I will get some pictures up of that and other adventures we have been having. See ya!Jeb and Beccahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11218686115582535657noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8428602993717888293.post-4241228803292879882008-05-20T07:06:00.000-06:002008-05-22T17:44:35.861-06:00<strong><span style="color:#663366;">I wrote this back in March and saved it as a draft. I was going to edit it and add more back then but obviously never got around to doing it. I just read it and thought it would be fun to post. So this is when spring was first starting to peek through:</span></strong><br /><br />Colorado is so strange. On Thursday and Friday we had sunny skies and 65 degree temperatures. Saturday was an amazing 75+ degrees. We woke up this morning (Sunday) to a blowing blizzard and snow on the ground!?? Yesterday you would have thought the snow was gone forever!<br /><br /><br /><br />Landen had Thursday and Friday off of school for Parent Teacher Conf. On Thursday I wasn't feeling great and had a lot to do around the house. My kids seemed really bored so I decided to let my kitchen go for a bit and spend some quality time with them. We all helped prepare a nice picnic lunch because it was so beautiful outside. I was feeling like a pretty nice mom because I was telling them how we could play red light, green light, Mother May I, etc. (even though I was feeling pregnancy nausea) and have an afternoon of fun (just like summer!). Well, we get our picnic lunch outside in the backyard and sit down on our blanket. Savannah thought it was so cool to be eating outside, she was very happy. All of a sudden Landen jumps up off of the blanket and says, "I just saw a bee". I said "No, it must have been a fly. There aren't really bees out yet because the flowers haven't bloomed. Sit down and finish your lunch."<br /><br /><br /><br />Next thing I know, two bees whiz by our picnic lunch. Landen jumps up and runs inside and shuts the sliding door as quick as he can. I went and got him and convinced him it was fine and we probably wouldn't see him again. This went on for the next 20 minutes, where the bees would come back and both boys would run in the house. Finally, they both gathered up their lunch and said "I want to eat inside!" So Savannah and I stuck it out and had our picnic by ourselves (to be fair, Blake got stung in the neck last year a couple of times and Landen was there to see the pain so they are a little more nervous than usual :)).<br /><br /><br /><br />After we ate I convinced the boys they couldn't spend such a beautiful day inside and the bees only came around when we had food. So we started to play our fun games. All of a sudden Landen saw a couple of bees again. He yelled, "more bees!!" and him and Blake literally started freaking out! They both ran inside, slammed the door shut, then I hear them open it and come screaming toward Savannah and I on the trampoline. "The bee got trapped inside, he followed us inside, he's trying to get us!" At this point, Savannah is crying because her brothers are so scared of something. So I have 3 kids huddled on the trampoline sobbing (no doubt all neighbors can hear this). The boys trapped the bee between the screen and sliding glass door. I was able to carefully let it out and I said, "Guys, lets just go inside, you obviously aren't having much fun." "No, we can't go in there, the bees will follow us again, no, no, no". I said, "Get inside right now". I had to open the door for them so they could make a "beeline" run for the door (leaving their sister alone with the bees). I got Savannah and took her inside and the boys were panting and thanking their lucky stars they were safe inside and not "attacked" by those killer bees!!<br /><br /><br /><br />They kept saying, "I am not going outside all summer!" "I hate bees, I am never going outside again!". Needless to say, I was so annoyed. I couldn't believe they were that scared. We have never had such an issue and now they are older and more scared than ever. So much for trying to be a fun mom and enjoy the beautiful afternoon with my kids!<br /><br /><br /><br />I didn't see a lot of the bees but my kids kept claiming there were a bunch of them. A couple of days later I found out there is a dead tree stump nearby with hundreds of bees. Luckily we have been playing outside a lot and we haven't had a problem with the boys being frightened.Jeb and Beccahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11218686115582535657noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8428602993717888293.post-45879562715743557842008-04-20T14:55:00.002-06:002008-04-20T15:06:34.230-06:00IT'S A..........<span style="font-family:georgia;font-size:130%;color:#3366ff;"><strong>BOY!!!!! <span style="color:#000000;">Jeb and I went to the perinatologist on Friday and found out our new little boy is perfectly healthy. During Savannah's ultrasounds it was very stressful because there was a very obvious empty, black space in the back of her brain. We hated looking at it because it was very unsettling. It was comforting to see our new little guy's brain fully there along with a healthy heart, etc. </span></strong></span><br /><strong><span style="font-size:130%;"></span></strong><br /><strong><span style="font-size:130%;">We are excited to add another boy. Savannah will be quite the princess in this family!:) I will add some new pictures soon...I have been bad and not taken a lot lately. We went to the Colorado Rapids game as a family last night (it was kids night) and we grabbed everything we needed (and more) except for the camera! I hate it when I miss fun, family events like that. It seems the more kids I have the more I don't want to forget it, but do! :) We were worried about bringing Savannah but she had the best time of anyone. By the end the boys were complaining they were tired and cold and she was still jumping up and down, dancing with the music! We also went to Cold Stone because of our ice cream bet about the sex of the baby. The boys were relieved that even though they guessed wrong, they got to share in the ice cream treats. :)</span></strong><br /><strong><span style="font-size:130%;"></span></strong><br /><strong><span style="font-size:130%;"></span></strong>Jeb and Beccahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11218686115582535657noreply@blogger.com13tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8428602993717888293.post-1183315213854656052008-04-12T07:18:00.013-06:002008-11-15T04:48:43.663-07:00<div align="center"><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3GdGPsHVXh_ryVn_rYkgYpKMfbRtHv04ChLjXEZOUOCkZspUETQq4-vkwoLp7yoGQuWyCgHA4CyMPKWuK4DxomH2P_AjrI-VuHq0UPpe31rrAK91cVy3sD4I-YDUpuV9asURZ0D80ilSz/s1600-h/CIMG0384+(Small).JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5188353349054493394" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi3GdGPsHVXh_ryVn_rYkgYpKMfbRtHv04ChLjXEZOUOCkZspUETQq4-vkwoLp7yoGQuWyCgHA4CyMPKWuK4DxomH2P_AjrI-VuHq0UPpe31rrAK91cVy3sD4I-YDUpuV9asURZ0D80ilSz/s320/CIMG0384+(Small).JPG" border="0" /></a> This is one of Savannah's favorite books, Go Dog Go.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcIu-9VOQXa82xL0dLMiYwHE-bTPC3aUP6qDISNmPGtmpZvyoKpklnCnKVukzEhHnWrym9etFMkTzgUqHltRVyU-DvUwIXpqxGNxxjwFhuKFvcOhOsQycff6E6Y8qm8OLOYpAXRFXUputW/s1600-h/CIMG0406+(Small).JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5188353203025605314" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgcIu-9VOQXa82xL0dLMiYwHE-bTPC3aUP6qDISNmPGtmpZvyoKpklnCnKVukzEhHnWrym9etFMkTzgUqHltRVyU-DvUwIXpqxGNxxjwFhuKFvcOhOsQycff6E6Y8qm8OLOYpAXRFXUputW/s320/CIMG0406+(Small).JPG" border="0" /></a>Her new passion.

I only got pics of Savannah collecting eggs because the boys are too old and fast for me to follow anymore (so sad). Here is Savannah showing my Dad her collection. She was in the toddler section where all of the eggs were just laying on the ground. She quickly realized that if she set her basket down she had both hands free to pick up two eggs at once!

They played LA Galaxy so that is David Beckham you are looking at in the white. Jeb was very excited. He has been a long-time fan of David Beckham's. He boasts of being a fan before he was popular :). We had a great time together at the game and the Rapids won 4-0! We are going to have a nice season. Soccer games are really fun to watch. Colorado has it's own new soccer stadium and the games are very fast-paced. There are only 2-45 minute halves and they rarely stop the clock for anything. Kind of like hockey, I love going to hockey games too. I guess I am grateful my husband is such a soccer fan and not baseball. I really love watching baseball (and playing) and the occasional live game is really fun....but those games can get so long and are really hard to take little kids to! Soccer has been really fun for our family to dive into!</div><div></div><div></div><div></div><div align="left">So, I should probably update that my aunt, Abbi got out of the hospital a couple of days ago!! Yay!! We were so excited. It was pretty scary there for a bit. She is still really weak and will probably take a couple of months to fully heal, but it is nice for her to be home. She doesn't really remember a lot of her time in the hospital (I think it was 21 days) so it is kind of freaking her out that she was that sick. I can't wait to see her again!</div><div align="left"></div><div align="left">We had a great trip to Utah. We drove and had nice weather the whole time. It feels like the trip is always so fast. It takes 8 hours but compared to 17 hours from Minnesota, it is a breeze! We were there for Landen's spring break. It was a lot of fun to see my family. We really missed having Brandon, Stacy and Ben there though. We also got to see some of Jeb's family for a minute. Just a quick trip!</div><div align="left"></div><div align="left">Last weekend we really loved conference. My kids actually sat through 2 entire sessions on Sunday. I couldn't believe it! Of course I had lots of activities for them (coloring, etc.) but they were really good and quiet. Jeb and I heard every talk....I think that is the first time in 7 years that has happened! I think by the 2nd session Savannah would have been fed up but she went down for her nap.:) We had our traditional General Conference Scones that I have had since I was a little girl in between conferences. I grew up with all of my Mom's siblings and their spouses and kids going to my Grandma's for scones. Whenever we aren't there we have to carry on the tradition or it just doesn't feel right. Of course, they are always better with lots of great people around! :)</div><div align="left"></div><div align="left">During President Monson's last talk my kids were cracking up how the prophet's wife told him not to touch the microwave, the stove, etc. while she was away. They could not believe how funny he was. Blake kept asking me to rewind that part. We had some real tender sweet moments. :)</div><div align="left"></div><div align="left">We have our ultrasound on Friday the 18th. I will only be in my 18th week but we are doing a Level 2 ultrasound with a perinatologist. Because of all of the issues we had with Savannah, my doctor just wants to do some extra checking for us. I'm not sure if it is just for piece of mind or what, but I'll take it! I can't wait to find out the sex of the baby because I want to start painting the room. </div><div align="left"></div><div align="left">I better post this before it gets too long. I always have so much updating to do. I haven't even covered the fact that Landen needs braces! I'll get to the details of that next time. We are off to the kid's soccer game!</div></div></div></div></div></div></div><br /></div>Jeb and Beccahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11218686115582535657noreply@blogger.com9tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8428602993717888293.post-683442577305422032008-03-26T14:59:00.003-06:002008-03-30T13:59:27.451-06:00Long breakIt has been a long while since I have posted. My main excuse is that I have been having migraines with this pregnancy and do not enjoy looking at a computer screen. I am starting to feel better and hope I am going to see some light. :)<br /><br />We are in Utah right now visiting our families. We head home tomorrow so I will write more updates and post some pictures when I return home. Just to answer Maren's question, no, we are not having twins (:)) and yes, I finally went to the doctor. We find out the sex of the baby in 3-4 weeks and we don't care if it is boy or girl...we are just excited! (By the way Maren, I will call you back when I get home...it has been crazy here!)<br /><br />Another thing, some of you close to me might remember my Aunt Abbi (my Mom's youngest sister). She is 10 months older than me and we grew up close like sisters. 9 days ago she was admitted to the hospital for pneumonia. She struggled to breathe for 3 days in ICU then they finally intubated her (put a tube down her throat to make her breathe). She actually got a string of Strep A that attacked her lungs. It has been a roller coaster of emotions and she is still not out of ICU. It looks like it will be a long road. She has a wonderful husband and a beautiful daughter. Please pray for their little family! She is one of the most thoughtful people I know and I just can't believe she is dealing with this.

They have ducks, a path around the lake, amazing play equipment. We have already been there 3 times. It is a lot of fun for our family! Colorado keeps giving us glimpses of spring and then it snows.

We are very excited and a little scared. 4 seems like a lot but we are so grateful to be able to add another child to our family. I have been a little more sick this time and my clothes are getting tighter faster! Jeb thinks it is twins...Ha! I haven't been to the doctor yet. I figure I've done this a few times before and I can wait a little (I'm only 10 weeks along). Anyway, just wanted to share our exciting news with our friends.

I told him I didn't have a season pass like he did. He then said, "Mom, it's easy! All you have to do is go to the ski shop and get your picture taken!"

I think I am finally getting better. I had a blast!</div></div><div></div><div><div align="left"> </div><div align="left"> </div><div align="left">I know we post a lot of ski pictures but that is the majority of what we are doing and taking pictures of this winter. I should have gone to Jeb's indoor soccer game last night and taken pictures, but I stayed behind to put Savannah to bed. He took the boys with him and his team won the final game and took first place! He loves playing so much. He always comes home in the best mood!:) </div></div><div></div><div><div align="left"> </div><div align="left">Landen has 2 friends over from school today. I was giving them their afterschool snack and they were being typical 7 year old boys. They were talking about a lot of "funny" potty stuff, trying to impress each other (this age is really interesting to watch as they learn to interact with their peers). They were being really loud and goofy and then all of a sudden Landen said, "Did you hear that President Hinckley died?" They all got quiet and started talking about how sad they were and that they were really going to miss him. I thought it was so sweet and couldn't believe the reverence and respect that came over them. We really are going to miss such a wonderful prophet. I told them they will come to know and love the next prophet too. </div></div><div></div><div><div align="left"> </div><div align="left">Like I mentioned before, Blake is reading now and does a really great job. He doesn't have the interest to sit down and do it as often as Landen did (he is much more into being active) but he seems really pleased to have caught on to it. </div></div><div></div><div><div align="left"> </div><div align="left">Savannah is finally in nursery. It has been nice to have her in there with little friends. She is our youngest so she seems way too small to be old enough to go to her "own class" but she loves it. She is talking a lot too (not in sentences yet). My favorite is when she says "cookie" and "baby". We recently went to the pediatric neurologist and he said she is doing so well we don't have to come back for regular visits anymore! Yeah! Not unless we notice something unusual.</div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"> </div><div align="left">For those of you who don't know, when I was 20 weeks pregnant with her, we found out she had a rare cyst in her brain called Dandy-walker. The possibilities of what we could deal with were on a wide spectrum. Anywhere from severe mental retardation or dying at birth, to showing no signs unless you look at an MRI and see a picture of her brain. If you google Dandy-walker and see other children who suffer from this you will realize how blessed we are to have her develop so well. Anyway, we are so grateful to put it somewhat behind us!</div></div><div></div><div><div align="left"> </div><div align="left">I was going to include a post that Jeb wrote on his family's site about our ski day, but this ended up getting super long! Maybe I will post it another time. To summarize the day could not have been more perfect. It was sunny, 45 degrees and absolutely beautiful! I can't wait to go with them all again! We felt bad leaving Savannah, but she didn't seem to mind.<br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /></div><div></div></div><br /></div>Jeb and Beccahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/11218686115582535657noreply@blogger.com8tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8428602993717888293.post-15867442428491266092008-01-09T13:09:00.000-07:002008-11-15T04:48:50.523-07:00Winter!!<div align="center"><strong><span style="font-family:Arial;"></span></strong><strong><span style="font-family:Arial;"></span></strong><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-3thLz7VOVv8NGC9oNcpcVFuwz70onHOwH0tJFvB0ubQkjvcr-hmZ5ny0-rHfPBpCHo1Z3AODuUXa0UgUJF3FQj_LLZNTPJobp7z_Lxw63-EXCG5B-6hsY8ybZsVq5I5wQ13NAdGNhpR4/s1600-h/CIMG0084+(Small).JPG"><span style="font-family:arial;"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5153581082728928802" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj-3thLz7VOVv8NGC9oNcpcVFuwz70onHOwH0tJFvB0ubQkjvcr-hmZ5ny0-rHfPBpCHo1Z3AODuUXa0UgUJF3FQj_LLZNTPJobp7z_Lxw63-EXCG5B-6hsY8ybZsVq5I5wQ13NAdGNhpR4/s320/CIMG0084+(Small).JPG" border="0" /></span></a><strong><span style="font-family:arial;"> Seeing this picture really freaked me out!

We had a wonderful Christmas with the Buffington family. I added some ski pictures on here because that is all I have from Christmas so far. We only had our video camera with us during Christmas Eve and day, but everyone snapped lots of cute pics for us and promised to send them. So I will probably post Christmas pictures in the middle of March or something. :)</span></strong></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"><strong><span style="font-family:Arial;"></span></strong></div><div align="left"><strong><span style="font-family:Arial;"></span></strong></div><strong><span style="font-family:arial;"><div align="left"><br />We left for Utah on December 21st around noon. We had planned on leaving earlier but Landen was having his Christmas party at school. All of the families were invited and the first graders got dressed up and read stories they had written. We told Landen we could go but would have to leave early. Of course we didn't get out of there as early as we would have liked, but he had a great time so that is all that mattered. We knew a storm was coming so we were trying to get out of there. We were about 40 minutes into the drive when Jeb realized he had forgotten his laptop (he needed it a little for work). I was very annoyed :) but kept smiling and saying (through clenched teeth, "it's okay honey, no big deal...we can drive 40 minutes back and then start all over again". We were determined to have a fun trip so I let it go without the lecture. Then our friends, the Conovers called. They were on their way to Utah also and were about an hour ahead of us. They said it was snowing and visibility was getting really bad. We pressed on and made it 2 hours out of Denver to Laramie, Wyoming where they closed I-80. Luckily, the Conovers were stranded with us so we just made a fun day of it! They have four boys, 2 of which are my kids ages. It ended up being a good time...the kids thought it was great! Luckily on the way home from Utah, we had perfect roads. The Conovers went home earlier than we did and ended up getting stranded again! I don't think they want to do Christmas away from home again for a long time!</div><div align="left"></span></strong></div><div align="left"><strong><span style="font-family:Arial;"></span></strong></div><div align="left"><strong><span style="font-family:Arial;"></span></strong></div><div align="left"><strong><span style="font-family:arial;"><br />The Christmas festivities were so nice. I felt really busy through the holiday season (good busy :)) so it was nice to be around family and relax and enjoy everything the way I wanted to. Landen's favorite present was a K'nex roller coaster and rollerblades. Blake loves his skateboard and Transformer helmet. A couple of days ago we cleaned out our unfinished basement so the kids have a ton of room. They have been rollerblading everyday down there(Blake got some for his b-day in October) and love it so much! Savannah follows them all over pushing her little stroller. It is very nice to see them have such a great time. Savannah got little twin babies she likes to take care of and a few other things. </span></strong></div><div align="left"><strong><span style="font-family:Arial;"></span></strong></div><div align="left"><strong><span style="font-family:Arial;"></span></strong></div><div align="left"><strong><span style="font-family:arial;"><br />On Christmas Eve Landen had a fever and was complaining his throat hurt. He was able to push through Christmas day, but after that he was pretty sick. Then of course, it went down the line...Blake had a turn and then Savannah got it bad. We finally got healthy and Landen was excited to go back school on Tuesday (the 8th). All day Monday he said his head and throat hurt again. I was not excited because Jeb had just left town that morning to go to the Electronics show in Vegas. I took him to the doctor and sure enough, it was strep! I am just waiting for the other kids to get it. I called Jeb this morning before his meetings and he had the chills all day yesterday and he felt like "he was swallowing needles". He and Landen spent a lot of time together on the slopes on Saturday so I'm sure he has strep throat too. We love to share in our family! :)</span></strong></div><div align="left"><strong><span style="font-family:Arial;"></span></strong></div><div align="left"><strong><span style="font-family:Arial;"></span></strong></div><div align="left"><strong><span style="font-family:arial;"><br />The day after Christmas Jeb went snowboarding with 2 of his bros, 2 of mine and my cousin. The day after that Jeb and I went skiing together for the first time since we have been married! We had such a great time. I am planning on joining him and the kids at the end of January to see their progress (and to have them help me get better!) Like I said, they went skiing again on Saturday and I loved listening to them share all of their adventures with me. All 3 of them (Jeb, Landen and Blake) had huge smiles on their faces. It has been such a great experience for them all to enjoy. Not to mention I get a lot done while they are gone. :) They only go until 1 or 2pm so we still get to spend a lot of time together. </span></strong></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"></div><div align="left"><strong><span style="font-family:arial;"><br />Well, I guess I'll sign off for now!
