The shirt

My Husband scored some Brownie Points tonight. Instead of saying to me in that accusing tone, "Is that a new shirt?" He said, "Cute shirt?" and raised his eyebrows in that seductive kind of way. What a guy.

Grandpa Had A Birthday!

We love it when we have a reason to party. We had the family over on Sat. to celebrate Grandpas birthday. We ate good food and played one serious game of Uno Attack. MaKaya helped Grandpa play the right card which then led them to win the game. We all love Grandpa so much and can never get enough of him.

10 Things about Grandpa

1. He is the smartest man I know

2. He is just as excited as we are when we learn to water ski

3. He was born in Holland

4. His mom died when he was 4 and he never met his father
5. He knows more about the gospel than any other human being I know

6. He loves to ride his motorcycle

7. He loves Bear Lake as much as we do

8. He has a personal relationship with each of my daughters

9. He is one of my Best Friends

10. He is very giving and extremely selfless.

This last year my dad has taught me more about his love for our Savior and trusting in the Lord than I ever thought possible. When life throws him a curve ball instead of dodging it, he embraces it, and in the process learns and teaches as much from the experience as he can. I am one very lucky girl to have him as my dad.

New Hair

MaKaya has been asking me to get her hair cut for months.I like my girls to have long hair because when you are in a hurry pulling it into a piggy is so fast and easy. I finally gave in. While we were watching MaK, Boo said she wanted hers cut just like Ma Ma's. So we did. I'm glad it happened just like that, because if I would have had time to think about it, I never could have parted with Boo's curls. Boo walks around telling everyone she got a Bob. The two of them look so adorable, but when you have faces as cute as theirs its pretty hard to do anything else.

Poor Little Boo

Last Saturday night Boo got a fever of 103 and it never went away. On Monday I took her the Dr. and the only thing they could find was dehydration. The Dr. said that if she still had her fever on Thursday to bring her back in. She was so sick, she looked like a vampire. She was white as a ghost and had dark circles under her eyes. She was so miseralbe that she didn't want to eat or drink a thing. As I sat down with her late Wednesday night I was replaying my day, and realized that she had not gone to the bathroom one time. I was sick with worry. It is such a helpless feeling having your child get sicker and sicker and not to be able to do a thing for them. It made my heart ache for mothers that have terminally ill children.

First thing Thursday we went to the Doctors. He sent us to the Hospital to get labs drawn and to get a chest X-Ray. Before I even got home my Dr called to tell me that she has pneumonia. WHAT! She didn't have a cold and never really even coughed. He said that we would treat her with a strong antibiotic and if she wasn't improving by Saturday he would have to admittit her to the hospital. I am happy to report that she isn't 100% better but that she is definately on her way. As nice as it was to have her sassiness gone while she was sick, I sure have missed it!!!
