Best Friends

Here are two girls that totally love each other. I hope and pray they will be BFs forever. I went up to Bountiful to get the girls from PJs sister Heidi's house and thought that we would go kidnap Natalie from her house. See Amy, her mom, just had a baby and I know how it is to have a new baby and a four-year-old. So we went and kidnapped Natalie and off to our house we went. We decided to go and grab McDonald's...well that turned into.."Can we stay and play?" How could I say no to two great kids. So we stayed and they had a blast. When it was time to go, B said to Nat "Natalie you have my heart" I wanted to cry and yes I finally did. We dropped Nat off at her house and I cried. They are such good friends and hardly ever get to see each other. I went home that night and cried some more. My dad made a really good point, which in turn made me feel sooooo much better. He said, "Kim look at it this way. At least they live 20 minutes apart. I could be worse if you lived 200 miles or in another state." THANKS DAD! You truly know how to make me feel better. So cheers to Nat and B, may you two be BFs forever!!!

I Know.....

Yes, I know that it is not March yet, but I really hate February with Valentine's Day and all so I changed my background. March is a good month, it is closer to April which brings Spring. Spring is closer to May and May brings June. June is good because it brings Summer!

Yesterday the kids had their Valentine's Parties at school. Well Today Carter dumped all of his out on the floor. Brooklyn decided to move her way over to his pile and get a sucker. When I saw that she had one I went to go take it away. She yelled and screamed at me so.......I put her in her chair at the table and gave it to her. Happy Valentine's Day Brooklyn....Mommy loves you!

"I wanna go....."

So the other day, Nichole's oldest girls decided they wanted to go swimming. So they did....Well B decided that she wanted to go, but I couldn't let her go without me. Needless to say she was not very happy. She threw one of her tantrums and I wanted to scream. Well my mom and sister were there and they suggested to fill the tub with water and let her swim there......So we did. She put on her swimming suite and goggles and headed to the tub. It was the funniest thing, she got in and started to cry because Ryleigh didn't want to get in and because I would join. Can you see me in my swim suite with her in the tub?!?!?! That would not be a good sight. We then decided that since Brooklyn hadn't had a bathe for the day that we would let her get in and play. The only difference was that Brooklyn was in her birthday suite. Try explaining that to B.........
B has had a hard time being here in Kearns and not having her BF, Nat, to play with. Well today I took her up to play and I am soooooo glad that she had the chance to go and be with her BF. We love Nat and her fam. We can't wait till little Nicole is born(I am sure Amy can't wait either). We told Nat that we would come and steal her from her mom and she can come and hang with us when that baby is born. I'm not sure that she understood the term 'Steal', but I finally told her that I would just come and get her and she could spend that day hanging with us. We are so blessed to have such great friends in our lives....Thank you for allowing us to be part of your fam Nat...we love you guys!

Two things: Brooklyn and Angels

So, we went to PCMC and spent a few hours there waiting to see the Specialist, Dr. StotsWe finally got in and he showed us the x-rays and showed us the parts that concerned the Pediatrician. He told us how he could see why the ped. could be concerned, but as he looks at them he doesn't see a problem with her hips. He wants to re-check her hips with x-rays in 6 months. Brooklyn has a few things against her and that is the fact that she is a female and the other is the fact that I had hip problems when I was her age. The other factor is the fact the other fam members(on PJ's side)had problems. So we will re-check her in August and go from there!

So here is a great story about angels. I have been looking for a car for awhile. I thought that I found one and was going to try and buy it....well as I was talking to my sister Nichole about buying this car, the teacher she aide's for says: "Hey I have a car you can just have!" I went "What!" Ya she said I will just give it to you. Well here we are three months later and it is finally mine. She gave it to me in November and I didn't have the money to register and license it. It drove me nuts to know that I had a car, but couldn't drive it. Well I promised myself that my paycheck in Jan., I would do whatever it took to get it registered and running. Well yesterday I went to the DMV and did all the paper work and got the tags and plates!!!!! I still can't believe that she would do something like that. I didn't know her that well and she just gave me a car. What an ANGEL you are MS. Green.....I am so happy that there are still people out there that will extend what they have to help people. I could cry every time I think about what she has done for me. I hope that one day that I can do for someone that she has done for me. Here are some pics:

Update on Brooklyn

So when your doctor tells you you have to see a specialist, you think that will be months and months away. Well I called PCMC Pediatric Orthopedic Specialist on Thursday to get an appointment. Well we are being seen Monday Feb. 2nd at 1:00 pm. So keep your fingers crossed and I will update you on Monday (if there is any update) Love you all Tons!!!

Brooklyn~Nine months

So Brooklyn turned 9 Months last Saturday. I can not believe where the time has gone. I just think of my little sis Heather, her baby will be one at the end of Feb. The just grow up so fast. So I had to change Brooklyn's Well Baby Check Up to Monday instead of Tuesday, because once again she was sick. So we did two visits in one big one. She weighs 15 lbs and 16 oz. and she is 27.25 inches long. She is in the 17% of her weight and the 37% of her height. I was concerned about how she held her legs and confronted the Dr. about it and he went through a bunch of questions. The first was was she born breech? No but en-utero (or in the womb) she had her feet always up by her ears. Second, are there any hip problems in the family? Well, yes there is. I had to wear a brace to help my hips and PJ's sister Heidi has a daughter that had hip problems. He said that to be on the safe side, we should take some film (x-rays) and just take a look. Well I had to wear a brace around my legs when I was little and Heidi's daughter had to wear one for 18 months. So it might be a problem. Dr. Bentley said that he didn't feel any catches or kinks(if that is how you sp the word), but lets just look anyway. I told Dr. Bentley that I had to wear a brace when I was little and he said that they don't do that any more!!!!! So we took the x-rays and were on our way. Well I got a phone call this afternoon from the Dr's office and the x-rays didn't come back good. There definately a problem. He said that we need to take her up to PCMC and have her looked at by a Pediatric Orthapedic Specialist. Well if any of you know me, which a lot of you do, on came the flood. Ya know it is the last thing you want to hear when your child has been in and out of the hospital with croup, we are going on our third ear infection since last December, and life is up in shambles to begin with. Well, it is a good thing that I have the power of the priesthood and pray on my side. And of course an optimistic ex-husband who just said "They will just put her in a brace like they did with Lili Ann and she will be fine!" So we will just have to wait and see what they say.

Brooklyn is sitting up great. She loves to jump in her jumperoo and to play on the floor with her toys. She loves the bath and hates it when I get her out of the tub. She is always talking and thinks we know what she is saying....her smile and her shyness is to die for.....she is hates baby food and loves table food (which is okay to give her according to her dr.)....she has this thing about her that just makes me smile.
