Shots & Shiners!!

This week weve made it to the pediatrician 2x's>> Exciting Right!! Maybe not!!

Sunday: Jaiden decided he wanted to skateboard on one of his race trucks and fell and gashed his eye open.

MOnday: Kadence 2 mo (little late) appt. for shots. She weighed in at 12 lbs. 4 oz. and was 23 3/4 in. long. Shes a little chunk and did rather well with the shots. She only cried for a minute. The doctor sees Jaidens eye butterflied up and asked about it.


Wednesday: I take the kids to the park and before Ry, Kadence, and I even get to the playground Jaiden had fallen and his eye immediately had a huge egg, Luckily it didnt split open were I had butterflied a few days earlier. So we rush home and get ice on it. Within the hour he looks like Quazimoto from Huntback of Notre Dame (The side of his eye was bulging out). We decide it looks worse than it probably is but dont let him fall asleep just in case he got a concusion.

Thursday: Wake up in morning and Jaiden cant even remotely open his eye. Its completely swollen shut. I decide were heading to the doctor. Of course we wait 35 min in waiting room, then move to the back and wait with 3 kids in tiny room for 1hr. 30min. REALLY >>> Im surprised we didnt have another black eye>> no, I wasnt ready to beat them, only the doctor, but what boys can sit still that long. I even mentioned it to the doctor and she said shes had it happen were she was stitching up a siblings face who wasnt even that patient that day just from the office room. Ugh. So she checks him out and says it mostly looks superficial but wanted and x-ray just in case. So we head there and wait 30 min to find out I cant havethe 2 little ones there. So we head home for naps to keep my sanity and then I drop off the little ones at my friend Ambers and then head on back. Jaiden was stoked to have them done and even more stoked to see what his bones looked like. He told me on the way home we should have got some to take home. Too bad =( But looks like everything is fine. IT WAS ALL WORTH THE PEACE OF MIND. 4 days later he still looks horrible, just colorful though.
ps: Non of these pictures justify how bad it looked and I didnt get any the morning it was completely shut!

3 x's >> REALLY~~

Im feel like im running on empty. Kadence is NOT the best sleeper. She is now waking up 3x's a night and this has been going on for WEEKS!! My boys were pretty good from the get go but this girl is not so much =(. At the beginning she would wake up once PLUS, all my kids would nap together so I'd get one in to. Thats NOT the case anymore. I try everyday to get them down together, because I feel in desperate need of sleep but it only happens every so often. I hope this stage passes REAL soon here!

BASKETBALL @ UNLV

Pete took Jaiden to the Pro Basketball Summer games @ Unlv. Petes friend Dustin met up with them too. Jaiden said he had lots of fun. I told Pete to take lots of Pictures and of course he didnt, So Jaiden told him Mom said to take lots of pictures. I ended up with lots of random pictures that Jaiden took, mostly of himself.. haha.

UFC 100

Matix sporting his UFC onsie for his first fight!!

Luxor Pool!!

My Grandparents came down in town and we borrowed a room key from them so we could go swimming @ the hotel. My mom and Aunt Melody went with me and the boys. It wasnt the most kid friendly pool Ive been to but we still ahd fun. I thought I was about to get into a fight though. yea.. That right. So my mom swims off with Jaiden and Im sitting on the steps holding kadence. Rylan was sliding back on forth on the steps not splashing or being load. Then I look over and this lady is facing Ry saying " You need to get the f*** away from me. WHAT??? she cant be talking to my baby. So I wait and she says it again. WOW!!! I WANNA FLIP. I call Ry and tell him to come over to me. I say to him loud so she can hear " DONT GO OVER THERE.. THAT LADY IS GRUMPY AND VERY MEAN." I really wanted to say somehting to her but Im pretty sure she was drunk Im im holding my 2 month old baby, what if she flipped. but we didnt get up and leave. Im not going to completely satisfy her. WOW!!! WHY ARE SOME PEOPLE SOOOOO GAY!!! Really, he was being soo good. I could see it if she was relaxing and he was slashing her or somehting. Some people just should never have their own kids and that lady was one of them.

Greysons moving

My nephew Greyson is moving to California at the end of July. That means the boys will have NO cousins from Pete side of the family here. They are all in California. So in the next few weeks were trying to havethe boys spend lots of time together. Friday I had Grey come play for the day. We got McDonalds and then headed to the park. The boys had lots of fun and two police officers came two different times looking for a man, one even gave them stickers for their help, even though we hadnt seen him. I decided we better pack it up jsut in case. Then we headed to my moms and the kids all swam in the jacuzzi. After that of course my kids were going to go down for naps so we had quiet time watching a movie. Then It was time to bring him home. hopefully over the next few weeks well get some good pictures to send with grey to look at when he misses the boys!!

Popcorn anyone?

Jaiden LOVES popcorn. Well last week when I was busy around the house he decided he needed to make himslef some. I smell burning so I hurry to go see whats going on =/ ahhh!! Jaiden starts to head towards me with a look that says "Im scarred and im in trouble" I run toward the kithcen. The microve is open and smoke is coming out the top. Thankfully no fire but pretty dang close. See these pictures. I had to sit down and have a talk with Jaiden that even though hes big enough to get snacks from the kitchen he cant use any of the appliances. I think the scare was enough punishment but he did get a little more.

Swimming @ Green Valley Ranch

One of My friends is the manager @ the Spa @ Green Valley Ranch so she could get us into the pool. They have an area were sand slopped into the water and they even had buckets and shovels you could use. The kids kept themselves entertained so us girls had fun talking and getting some sun!! Now every time I tell them were going swimming they ask if its the beach one =). Hopefully well get to go a few more times this summer. It was a lot of fun!!

Tie Dye!!

My sister Wendy knows a lady with a day care and they were doing tie dye. They Invited Wendy and she asked if she cared if she brought a few sisters. We had fun tie dying and even more fun seeing the result. Ive always thought tie dye was old fashioned but on little kids its totally cute. We even got a picture later with all the kids wearing the shirts they made. It was LOTS of fun!!


((This little girl looks JUST like her daddy, I just saw a picture last night that looks identical < besides the clothes haha>)

Smiles!!

Kadence has been smiling LOTS lately and lots of coos and cahs =) Its been tons of fun. This is her first smile I could catch on camera!! Shes soo sweet and precious!!

Our 4th of July!!

We had a great 4th of July this year. I love this holiday. Swimming, Bbqs, family, fireworks, and of course the reason were celebrating.. our freedom. My kids are still little and this just go over their heads but I think its important to TRY and expaling why were having all this fun. I dont think they really understood but I think as I was explaining it made me stop and think how grateful I am to live in this country and how grateful I am to those who leave there loved ones to protect our freedom. I truly am grateful for a day we can remember just how special that is. We went to My sisters husbands mom and her new husbands house ( they were gone) and enjoyed their beautiful house and pool and ate yummy food. Then of course off to do fireworks. It was lots of fun and nice and relaxing. Heres some pictures of our night.....
