What a week!!

Well!! We went to New Mexico for the funeral. My friend, Mallorie, drove along with me. That was great, she helped me so much!!! Half way there, we stopped and Jayden had an "accident" with #2 and it was everywhere!!! Thank goodness we had stopped!!! I just had though maybe he had too much juice or something. Well we got to New Mexico and drove to my grandparents ranch. I noticed Jayden had a fever and gave him some Tylenol. I thought maybe he just was tired from the drive and everything. We went to bed, ready to wake up early for the funeral the next morning. Jayden starting crying at about 2:30 in the morning and I went and got him some milk and put him in my bed. Well he gobbled down the milk and a couple minutes later started throwing up!! Yuck!!! Poor little guy!!! So most the house was awake by then! Jayden still had a fever and I gave him more Tylenol. So we didn't get to go to the funeral, which stinks!!! But we stayed home and relaxed. My back got really screwed up on the drive there and Jayden and I were a sight to see. I couldn't really bend to pick him up and he was all whiny since he was sick!!! Good times, right?! lol We actually both started feeling better by Wednesday and my grandpa drove us to Sante Fe. We looked around at the shops, which was fun. Then we ate lunch. On our drive home, Mallorie and I both were not feeling well. The food was not good or something!!!! So needless to say... I was SO SICK that whole night!!!! Apparently New Mexico does not like me right now!!! ;) I had to drive home the next morning and I had been up sick all night and then had a fever that morning!!! No Bueno!!! It was going to snow that night though and so I knew we had to leave or the roads would be bad! And Mallorie had to work the next day!! So home we went!! The drive actually went pretty fast and we were so happy to get home!!! My poor grandparents put up with us through all of our sickness and everything!! I think Norman missed us too. We got home and there was a rose and candy for me and a toy car for Jayden!! :) I didn't feel good again that night and it just was no good!!!! Friday I felt mostly better and Saturday we walked in the St. Patrick's Day Parade for a friends business!! It was pretty fun!! So I'm ready for a little bit of normalness!! (do you like that word!) :) Here are a couple of pictures...enjoy!! Have a good week!!!

Please Pray

My Uncle got diagnosed with leukemia I think 5 years ago. He underwent chemo treatments, and it then went away. Well he had some more blood tests and the cancer was throughout his body. The docters knew he didn't have long! He drove home to New Mexico to gather some things, and then back to Denver to the hospital. He checked in Wednesday morning. And by Wednesday night, they said he most likely wouldn't make it through the night! They could not stabilize him. He somehow lasted and I drove up last night (Thursday night). It was so sad to see him! Every breath seemed like such a struggle!! And it would be several seconds before he would breath again. Everytime he took a breath, you would think that it was his last. His eyes were shut, but I saw a tear on his eye. I told my Auntie and she went over to him and said, "It's okay honey! You can let go! I love you." Talk about breaking your heart! He was still struggling to breath when I left, a little after ten pm. I got a call on my way back from Denver that he had died about 20 minutes after we left! Please pray for my aunt!! This is her second time going through this, and I know it will be very tough!! Also please keep my family in your prayers. Thank you!

Just wanted to update.....this was about a week ago....20 weeks

Happy Valentines!!!

We had a very fun Valentines Day! Some interesting parts, but fun! We slept in and then got ready and headed to Cripple Creek to see the Ice Fest there. We waited to eat until we got up there because we thought we would find something interesting to eat up there. By the time we got up there it was about 1:30p.m. and we were starving. Jayden had been in the car an hour and half and was not pleased with the idea at all of sitting in a high chair at a restaurant! We were there 5 minutes and decided that it wasn't going to work. It was one of the first times since having him that I felt like the parent with "that kid"! Agh! He was whining and crying and people were staring. It was interesting! So needless to say we kindly told the waitress we weren't going to eat there and left! We looked shortly at the ice sculptures and then went to the car to leave. Well the car was already on E and we needed gas! Norman has this thing with trying to prove how far we can go on a tank of gas or something. He didn't want to drive to the other side of town for gas, and insisted we would make it to Divide. So it was a long 20 minutes of wondering if we would make it! Even he was getting a little nervous at the end going up some of the hills!! Is it a guy thing or what?? So we coasted into the gas station on fumes, I'm sure, but hey, we made it! lol Later that evening we got Texas Roadhouse "to go" and ate and Norm's parents house. His sister, Karen, also ate with us. We then went and saw Brian Regan at the Pikes Peak Center! He is a very hilarious comedian. He is known as the "king of clean". You won't hear a cleaner comedian! But he is so hilarious!! So that about rounds off our day!! Our dear friend, Susie, watched Jayden. We are so thankful!!! It was a very nice evening out!!! Well I hope you all had a wonderful Valentines also!!!! :)

Fun Weekend

Well we had a good weekend. Saturday I worked until about 2, but I always enjoy work! Norman kept Jayden and Norm's friend came over while I was at work to wire a motor. That's about all I know about that! :) I went and picked up a new bed for Jayden after work. Then our friends, Jeff and Des came over and we ate, played a game, and watched a movie!! It was quite fun!! I had never played Mad Gab. That game is hilarious! Then Sunday morning we went to church and then Norman had to work. Jayden and I hung out and then ran to the store. I was so excited to find a chair for my salon there!! It was on clearance and was only $60! The cheapest one I had found was over $100, so I am very excited about that. When Norm got off work we had a relaxing evening and ate spaghetti and watched a movie. It was nice that Norman had Saturday off though! He has next Saturday off and we are going to dinner and to see Brian Reagan (a comedian). Then he has the next Saturday off too and we are taking a birth class about what to expect with a midife and home delivery. Exciting! Well it's already been an interesting morning! The baby I watch, Lily, has diarrhea! I went in to check on her and she started to cry! She had poop past her waist!!!!! GGRROOSSS!!! So needless to say, she had a bath and threw all the clothing/carseat material in the wash!!! Hopefully that's my only big change of the day!!! Have a great day everyone! :)
