Summer is here and we are all EXCITED!!

YOU HAVE TO BE KIDDING!!!!!!!

Ok first off I don't think I have posted any new pictures of Kiana since her new hair cut. She cut off a ton of hair!!! She is really loving her new hair cut!! She is really lucky she can really get away with any length of hair.

So this week so far has been nothing short of a crazy adventure!! Monday Jeremy and I came to the conclusion that it would be better for the kids to stay here in Utah during the summer for stability. Also with being pregnant it makes it hard traveling around and missing Dr. appointments. It was a really tough decision but, I know it was the right one. I'm hoping to be able to go out and visit Jeremy for a week or so during the summer then maybe later on in the summer I will take the whole family out for a week vacation. For now we are just playing everything by ear.

Tuesday I had my Dr. appointment and I have to say I left very disappointed! I went in to have my 24 week ultrasound (where they check everything out eyes, mouth, spine) As I laid there on the ultra sound table the tech was attempting to check things out but, my little guy would not move. I mean would not move at all!!! I have to admit I was a little scared. We tried for 45 minutes to get the baby to move but, NOTHING! She was able to get a brief heart beat and that was it. Because of the position of the baby we were not able to see a thing! I left somewhat emotional. I was really looking forward to sending Jeremy some pictures. But, I guess I get to wait another 4 weeks. Oh well right.

Well, Tuesday night was fun we went to my parents house and had chicken tacos and spent sometime together as a family before my brother got set apart as a missionary. It was a fun night with really good food (like always)

Tuesday evening the kids and I arrived home past their bed times. They were all super tired. As soon as we walked in the door everyone went straight to bed. I was able to talk to Jeremy on the phone for a little while then I slowly fell asleep.

Around 1 am I heard a loud BANG!! I jumped up out of bed trying to figure out what just happened then I heard Karston screaming! I ran into his room to see what was going on. He was on the floor curled up in a ball just crying. I asked what was wrong and I could tell he was still half asleep. He was grabbing his arm telling me how bad it hurt. I carried him into my room where I could assess the situation better. In my bedroom I immediately saw almost like magic Karston's hand begin to swell. Karston was in so much pain. His face was pale, his body was trembling. I began to panic. What do I do?? Do I wait it out? Do I go to the ER? Do I wake up Desmond and Kiana? Do I call my family? Do I call a neighbor? What should I do?

I text Jeremy telling him the situation. I knew he would be asleep and probably would not get my message but, I sent it anyway. Almost immediately after I pushed send Jeremy called me back. I asked him what I should do? He told me to call someone for help. I'm so stubborn and I didn't want to wake anyone up so I told him I was going to wait it out till morning. I hung up the phone with him and held Karston. The pain was getting worse and his hand was getting bigger. So I woke up Desmond and Kiana and packed us all in the car and drove to the ER.

At the ER we were the only ones there. It was really nice we got right in and they started caring for Karston immediately. They took the X-Ray and not even 10 minutes later the nurse came in and asked if I wanted to see the X-Ray. I told her yes and followed her to see what had happened. Karston had broken his arm in 2 places. He had broken past 15 degrees which means a orthopedic surgeon needed to be called in to place it.

They sent us back to our room and contacted the Ortho. The ER Dr. shortly returned back to our room and explained what was going to happen. The Orthopedic Surgeon didn't want to come in but, the ER doctor didn't feel like he could send us home without trying to set Karston's arm as much as he could. So they drugged Karston up and set his arm. He was so brave!!! They had 3 people in the room to hold him down while they did it and all Karston could do was yelp out in pain. It broke my heart to see him in so much pain but, I knew this had to be done.

After all of this they put a temporary cast on Karston until we were able to get into the Orthopedic Surgeon to have it properly placed and put a hard cast on it. They sent us home with pain medication and ice. We arrived home around 3:20 am Desmond and Kiana went right back to bed (they were so good!) I put Karston in my room and propped his arm up with all of my pillows. About 30 minutes after we got home Karston finally fell asleep.

I had a really hard time falling back to sleep my mind was awake and ready for anything. Around 4:30 is when I finally fell back asleep.

Now that brings us to today. Karston woke up at the same time he always does 6am and wanted to watch Cartoons (he also needed some more pain meds) Desmond and Kiana slept in till around 8am. I have to admitt I'm still pretty tired but, doing okay.

Today my brother Ky went into the MTC. In fact I just got back from dropping him off! I'm so excited for him! We are all going to miss him like crazy but, I know he is doing the right thing by serving a full time mission! I'm so blessed to have such great brothers!

So that's what is going on.

Another Week Down way to many to go.........

So the last time I posted as some of you could tell I was a little bit frazzled (to say the least.) Its weird how life just never stops happening. Each day I wake up and I brace myself for whatever is coming at me next.

This week it has been sickness. I feel like my kids are continually sick! Kiana and Desmond both came down with some weird flu thing. Knowing my luck I knew it would be H1N1 Flu (Swine Flu) so I took them into the Dr. Kiana was diagnosed with Asthma with a secondary infection and Desmond just had a freaky sinus infection. So they put Desmond on Augmentin and Kiana on Sigular and Xopenex. I was so happy that this was what they had. I could totally handle this. The kids still haven't slept through the night but, we are making progress in the right direction.

Okay so Karston this past week has been so so entertaining. He is coming up with the silliest things to talk about and do.

Lets start with this morning. So Karston came into my room around 4:30AM and asked me if he could have breakfast. I was so tired I told him to go down and get it himself. So Karston went downstairs and made himself a breakfast. Not much later Karston came into my room and layed down on my bed. Then all of a sudden I hear him run into my bathroom and start throwing up. My heart dropped this could not be happening. Why was Karston sick now? I ran in the bathroom and sure enough Karston said his tummy hurt. After throwing up everything but, the kitchen sink he went back and laid down in bed. Shortly after this I went downstairs to wash Karstons bedding and to rid the house of any sick germs before the other kids got out of their beds. Just before I was about to begin the laundry I noticed what Karston had made himself for breakfast.

Karston had come up with his own new cereal. It contained Swedish fish, sour patch kids, and life. Of course all covered in milk. He had eaten a entire package of Swedish fish and sour patch kids. No wonder he was throwing up. This was disgusting!!!!! I went upstairs to talk to Karston and he was laying on the bed. Before I could say anything Karston looked at me and said "Mom I wish there was 2 things not on this earth, Throwing up and lieing." I started laughing because earlier this week Karston got in trouble for lieing and had lost a couple of toys in the process. Apparently he has learned his lesson. I asked him how is breakfast was? He told me it was good but, he had eaten way to much! Obviously. Ahhhhh..... You got to love little boys.

Karston has also started (on his own) a Dream Journal. He wakes up every morning and writes down his dreams. If these dreams are real this kid has the craziest dreams EVER!! It has been really fun sharing these fun dreams (or stories) together every morning. He always draws pictures to go along with his dreams and man are they good. Lately he has been dreaming a lot about Sharks and Skeletons. I know really random.

Karston has also been asking me to change his Birthday to June 1st. I told him that Heavenly Father was the only one who could change your Birthday (why did I say that??) So every night now in Karston prayers he has been asking Heavenly Father to tell me that it is okay to change his Birthday to June 1st.

The other day Karston came and asked me if we could buy a "Rest Bucket" what in the world is a "Rest Bucket?" Karston in a sarcastic tone told me "Mom, you know." No I really don't I replied. Karston went on to say "You know mom the car that the police can't get you in if you don't wear your seat belt.and they have beds, a motor home." You want me to buy a motor home? Why did you call it a rest bucket? I asked. Well, Karston said its a better name then a motor home. Ok I didn't know what to say. He wants a Motor Home so when we drive to Orem (oh the whole 10 minutes it takes he won't have to wear a seat belt and if he wants he can take a nap.)

Okay so there are a few of the silly things Karston has done this week. This coming week should be exciting. Today is my Brother Kevins Birthday, Tuesday I have my OB appointment, Wednesday my Brother leaves for the MTC, and the rest of the week is up for grabs. We will see what happens.

I will write soon..... I'm excited to see how my Dr. appointment goes. I feel like this baby is huge. I have never gotten this big this fast. Ahhh But, I also never found out I was pregnant so far along either. That in and of itself has thrown everything off. Oh well I feel like I'm caring twins.

I really do feel great most of the time! I have been running at least 2 miles everyday and I feel like in someway that has helped me maintain my sanity. Okay I'm rambling (I do that all the time don't I) Well I will write on Tuesday and let you all know how my appointment goes.

Love you all!!
