Masks Please!

Halee got to go home from the hospital on tuesday afternoon! She was so excited!!!! :) Okay so was mom! And her siblings couldn't wait to see her! They had been asking for her the whole time and every time me or their dad would go to them. So they really wanted to hold her!! So when we came home mom bought sanitizer and face masks! Seriously! :) they have all been sick and this way it doesn't let them breathe, cough or smooch on her!

Halee all bathed and cleaned up. Her skin is pale and she has a bad rash from the stickers and tubes all over her face!

Big sis so excited to see Hals. She kept telling me to ask the nurses to let her in to come see Halee. "Tell them I haven't seen her in a long time!"

Cute big bro! When I got to go home to see him for a while he goes "mommy! I so glad you home! where's baby?!" It was the cutest thing and it made me so happy that he cared about his little sister and loved and missed her!

I love my three sweet kids and I am so glad that they all love eachother! They are my sweethearts!

One month old

Well I wanted to post some cute pics and tell you all about you at one month old Hal! But these are your cute one month pics cuz you turned a month old in the hospital!! The one in pjs is the week you were sick same with the swing. And I painted your toes the day before we took you to the hospital!
At one month:
* You weigh 9 lbs 3.5 oz and 22 in
* We all LOVE you! Briella and Easton just thing your the neatest thing!
* You sleep a lot! When you go for a nap or bed you do at least 3-4 hours! Sometimes longer. Sometimes I try to wake you to feed you (for my sake ! ) and you won't wake! However you only sleep in your car seat or swing for that long.
* You are very expressive with your face and eyes! Its like you talk to us through your expressions. the nurses in the hospital even commented how expressive you are!
* The day we brought you home from your rsv hospital stay, I got your first REAL smile from you!! You smile all the time in your sleep, but you gave me a real smile! So Cute!!!
* You only sleep in Mommy's arms at night. You will not sleep in your bassinet. Daddy didn't like you in our bed for fear you'd get hurt so we got you a co-sleeper to sleep in our bed but you won't!! :) You have to sleep in the crook of Mommy's arm at night and you do so well!
* You love your Binki! Your sister and brother wouldn't take one but you seem to love it! It comforts you a lot and yoou got even more attatched to it when you stayed in the hospital for RSV.
* So you've had your first tramautic hospital experience! And first sickness!
*You are such a sweet baby! You are so good, so easy! We love having you as part of our family!! However, your growing WAY to fast Halee! You already have chubby cheeks! You need to slow down so we can enjoy you tiny longer!!! I am so blessed to have you! - Love Mommy

Halee in the hospital with RSV

Monday March 8 Halee woke up sick. So I took her to her Dr. who said yes she's sick but its not in her lungs yet. So they sent me home. well wednesday that week she started puking and continued the next couple days but was still having wet diapers so I thought there is nothing they'll do but on Friday she wasn't keeping anything down! So i called the Dr. and maybe they thought i was just being a worried mom but they told me to just make sure she was having a wet diaper every 12 hrs and that she was puking because she was choking on her mucus. Well later that night it got so bad her lips were blue and she would turn purple everytime she started choking and puking. So we took her to Readycare. She tested positive for RSV, was dehydrated and had low oxygen levels. They wanted to send us to the ER in an ambulance! But because we were just across the street they let us go in our van with an oxygen tank and mask. It was scary. When we got there they took us back right away. They gave her a breathing treatment and put in an IV with fluids. That was awful! She screamed! They had to try her IV in two different places so she got poked twice! I was bawling with her! Then while we were waiting she stopped breathing because she was doing this apnea thing! So they came in and gave her tubes in her nose to breathe. We had to be in the hospital friday night till tuesday afternoon! It was a long stay! So glad to be home and extremely glad and thankful that Halee is doing well!

Halee with her IV she screamed when they put it in! It made mommy cry!

Funny things kids say!

5-12-13
Halee- " Mom there is this girl in my class and she has red curly hair and orange polka dots all over her face!"

9-6-12
Halee is 2 and hilarious!! I need to be better about writing her comments!!

Last night it was her turn for prayer and I was helping her and I told her to say "thank you that we could go to Disney land" and she stops and looks at me and goes " I want to go again!" It was so funny we all laughed! Because she was repeating after me until that part she totally stopped her prayer!

We've only been back two weeks now and the week we got back she kept asking to go again. I promised we would but not now. So she always asks and says "Mom I want to go to Disneyland! You promised promised!!" or she'll tell me "mom I want to go on bacation!!"

Lately Halee will say something cute and when we laugh she'll say "what?!" She also will say something and say "seriously?"

When shes mad at some one or teasing her dad she will call them "poopy!" or "pelly!" (smelly)

She always tells me "Mom your my best friend ever ever!" especially when I get upset with her!! She also says " but mommy I love you!"

When its time for bed and she doesn't want to be there she'll stand at her door and call for me " Mommy I need to tell you something!" but she never has anything to tell! Its always " I dont want to go to bed!"

We were visiting with some family friends. Easton was crushing on Lauren who is 18 :) I asked if she was his girlfriend he says yes. I told him you can't have her for your girl friend, she's a cougar! He tells me "no mom! we are both people!"

Easton was telling me I need to have another baby, he wants 3 sisters! I asked him wouldn't you want a brother?! He says "nope, Tracen is my brother!" (Tracen is Timbers little boy who he has claimed for his brother!

Everytime we go to the store Briella asks for EVERYTHING!! I always tell her no we can't afford that right now. I read in the Ensign to teach your kids to live within your means. I am trying to teach her to save her own money when she wants a $30 doll and that she doesn't always get what she wants when she wants it. well I guess maybe I say that a little too much and her young mind doesn't get it because I have been asking her to try hot lunch at school (I hate getting up extra early to make her home lunch) and she said " no we can't afford it! we'll have to stand on the corner and a hold a help us sign!" what a crack up!!! So we had to explain to her what living on a budget means and all that! I guess I better be more careful of the way I explain things to this little smarty pants!!

Were having dinner at my parents on sunday and Easton tells my dad, " Grandpa, your OLD!" we all laugh he thinks he's real cute well the next day i am walgreens picking up Halees medicine and the kids are on my nerves, they are running a muck and I tell them stay by me, you guys are on my last nerve! Well an elderly lady hears me and laughs and says wait till your older. Well Easton says "what did that old grandma say to you?" so I tell him she was just saying hi "wells shes an old grandma" she is still in hearing distance and I say yep she's a grandma, " no mom she's an OLD grandma!" oh my heck!! then he saw I was trying to keep him quite so he gets his goofy grin and says it a few more times, so I try to ignore him. Morale of the story, i guess we better be careful at what we laugh at!!

Easton just had a birthday but has been asking for a ton of toys lately. So we tell him lets wait for Christmas. Well he has been asking me when are we gonna have Christmas and I knew why! So I told him well we just got summer we don't want the snow back yet! He says "I like snow" so I said Easton Christmas isn't about presents and he knew what was coming next so he beat me to it by replying "well Jesus gives Santa the presents to give us!" what a stinker!!!

6-21-11
Okay today Briella was the funny one :) So first I made dinner. I hate when she complains and tells me she's not eating what I made. So I said I don't want to hear it! Your eating what I made. She "sweetly" tells me, "when I am a mom and I make dinner I am gonna make my kids taste it. and if they don't like it I will make them something else, like microwave food or something" what a clown!!!
Then after dinner I was making her help me staiten up the house because they had been playing all day! I told her that even Grandma Marcie (her most favorite person!) made me do chores when I was little. Well she got mad at me and said "that's not how its gonna be at my house!!! My husband is gonna do the chores while me and my kids sit on oour bums and watch tv!!!" LOL watch out boys!!!! ;)

Some new funny stuff from Easton! So we were talking about seaworld and showed him pics of him feeding the Dolphins when he was 10 months old. He didn't like them and said that he didn't want to feed "the whales" I told him they were Dolphins and super nice! I told him that Aunt Tawsha wanted to swim with them because they are so nice! So he asked if Justin and Burklee were going to also? I said yep! He decided that he and Burklee would ride the Dolphins! But was Tawsha going to wear a swimsuit? Yep. Well he need to wear his swimsuit too, "so the dolphins don't get my stuff!" I was like what stuff? "my private stuff mom!" LOL he is such a boy! Why on earth would he think of that!!!

We have been reading the kids book of mormon and talking about Lehi and his family. Well at sacrament the other day Easton goes to Uncle Mikey, "Laman and Lemuel were bad and they tied Nephi up with ropes. And their skin turned brown, like yours mikey!" Oh my heck! Mike is not a member so we kinda had to explain what he was talking about!!

3-24-11
Easton has been talking about getting big and still living with mommy until he leaves on his mission. I told him Jesus would watch over him while he was on a mission he said, "Jesus is gonna open up the clouds and say look at that cute mission!" He makes me smile every day!

8-30-10
I am teaching Easton school this year for preschool. So he asks me, mom are you my teacher? yes or no? I said yes East I'm your teacher. He tells me but mom you don't have black eyes like a teacher!! :) lol he makes me laugh!

8-16-10
Easton said this about two weeks ago, but I was doing my hair up in a bun and he walked in the bathroom and said, " I like your hair mommy! Santa is gonna say woot woot I like your hair!: :) lol he is so funny!

We were out eating snow cones and easton goes, "look mom, a hopping grass!" (grass hopper!)

We were out showing the kids the Idaho Falls Temple and how angel Moroni is on the top and Easton said "thats my Angel's Temple?!" thinking we meant uncle angel!

We were just talking about this the other night and laughing cuz it was last year and I wish I would have wrote it down it was when Briella was four she had a sleepover at my moms and was telling her about how I make her mad! and when I make her mad she whispers "your such a jerk!" so I can't hear her!! What a stinker!! :) too funny though that she knows how to grumble under her breath!!

6-11-10
Yesterday for his birthday Easton got a Woody doll like the one on the movie. So he takes it over to his aunt and goes "howdy little lady!" while he tips his cowboy hat!! so cute!

When East gets mad at people lately he will say " i'm mad at buddies!" meaning (everybody)

3-19-10
So Easton's new fav is Toy Story , he loves Buzz and Woody. So we are having dinner and he comes to the table " I am Buzz Lightyear, I come in peace!"

Briella woke me up yesterday morning " Mommy, my tummy is hungry!"

1-29-10
So I am dropping Briella off at school this morning and I always tell her to be nice to everyone and have a good day you know the usual :) Well Easton has heard me a lot lately telling her to be nice and that she needs to be everyones friend, things like that. So this morning as shes getting out he says "Bella don't kick the kids!" "Be nice" Well of course that made her mad and she yelled "Don't tell me what to do dumb brother!" I am trying the whole time not to laugh and I made her tell him she loves him before she slammed the door! My kids are so funny! I don't know why he thought of that because she has never been in trouble for kicking anybody at school or any place, well besides kicking Easton!

1-19-10
Easton loves his chipmunk toys! He calls them "his boys" he hugs them and says "i so love you boys!" he tries to say I love you so much cuz thats what i always say to him!

So Briella was asking me how a baby got in the mommy's tummy :) I told her they grow from an egg in the mommys tummy. That satisfied her enough for now thank goodness! She had one of Easton's toy balls in her shirt and ran off "hey Easton want to feel my egg?"!!!

12-4-09
Yesterday Briella was asking me all sorts of questions about the baby. I plan to nurse and she was asking if she could ever feed her and I told her that I would get some milk in a bottle for her to have a turn. Anyway we went on to talk about how much the baby eats and even during the night. So she thought a minute and said" ok mom here's the deal, I will sleep in bed between you and Dad and when the baby wakes up I will go get her bottle and feed her!" wouldn't that be great!

12-1-09
I decided I had to post some of the cute new things Easton has been learning to say. He is only 2 1/2 and he is becoming quite the talker!

We were late for church and I couldn't find Briella's shoes I was like "stupid shoes!" and Easton tells George " mommy said stupid! no say stupid!" I didn't even know he knew that!

Same day we were over at the Chapa's and Angel kept teasing Easton like he was painting on his face. Easton turns to him and says "hey not nice!"

Whenever I get upset with Easton I will say EASTON GEORGE! The other day that happened he turned around and said "no mommy I not Easton George, I Easton! Daddy, George!"

So I think he understands now or maybe he doesn't because he was upset with Briella two days ago and he tells Bella "Briella George!!"
