A trip to the ER

Sunday night we had just got Logan and Tanner to sleep and Kaden was almost asleep when we hear this big thud. We went running in Tanner's room to find that he had fall off his bed and hit the ladder to the bunk beds. Paul picked him up and rubbed his head and felt a racquetball sized bump on his head that was bleeding so we decided that we better take him in. As we loaded the other kids up in the car Tanner started throwing up which only got me more worried that he had a concussion. So Paul called his parent's and asked them to meet us at the hospital. We were lucky that the ER was not busy at all and they got to us really quickly. Tanner was fine and they didn't think that he had a concussion but told us to treat it like it was just to be safe so we got a night of waking him up every two hours. But he is fine he just doesn't want to lay down to get his diaper changed because it hurts his head.

Lazy Sunday

Sunday we decided to stay home from church. Kaden and Tanner both had really bad coughs and I was not feeling well so we decided to be lazy and just bum around the house. So we watched some cartoon and then we built a fort and the boys played in it. It was nice to have a day to be lazy and just play with the kids and not worry about laundry and errands and all that junk.

Pictures and Pumpkins

I decided that the kids needed new pictures taken off them since Kaden and Tanner's were over a year old and Logan's was right after he was born so we got up and got ready for pictures. I kept preparing Kaden hoping that if he knew and got excited that Tanner would follow along. NOPE!!! Kaden and Tanner wanted nothing of the fact. Logan loved having his picture taken after we had four of us in there trying to do whatever we could we finally got some go pictures. I think the cutest ones are of them pouting.
Later that afternoon we went up to a pumpkin patch for the kids to pick out pumpkins. I tell the boys that they can pick one but they have to be able to pick it up themselves that way I don't get stuck by a huge pumpkin that will cost me a small fortune. They had a water tower there that Kaden thought looked that a giant soccer ball and said he wanted his pumpkin from by the big soccer ball. So we walked to the other side of the field to get his pumpkin. They had fun and we got pumpkins now we just need to decorate them.

COOKIES

The boys kept asking for cookies all day so I decided that we would decorate some pumpklin sugar cookies. So I found whatever I had around the house to decorate with and made some cookies and let them go. Tanner decided that he would much rather just eat the candy then put it on a cookie. Kaden ate some candy put wanted to do the sprinkles by himself so we got a few cookies with a large amount of sprinkles and Haley try to get as many m&m's as she could on a cookie and got mad when most of them fell off.

Roasting Marshmallows

Sunday after conference we were bored of being home all day watching TV so we decided that we would go up to my parent's house and roast marshmallows in their fire pit. the kids enjoyed it for about 10 minutes then they wanted Grandpa to take them inside to watch Buzz Lightyear. Maybe next time will go better now that they have experienced it once before. I am definitely glad that we didn't go up the canyon and haul all the stuff for it to last 10 minutes.

What goes on in Tanner's head?

I have had many moments with Tanner that I watch what he is doing and just wish that I could know what on earth is going through his head. When we were at Paul's parents house for conference I had another one of those moments. He was playing with a toy motorcycle when we looked over and he was straddling it and walking on this knees saying vroom vroom. It was so cute and funny.

Elephant Parade

Kaden's first kiss

The day after we got home from Disneyland was the day of the elephant parade because of the circus opening. Tanner loves elephants so I decided to take the kids. Paul came over from his office to watch with the kids. The kids loved seeing the elephants but most of all Kaden loved getting a kiss from his girlfriend Haley.

Peanut Allergy

So the day we got home from Disneyland Paul had a soccer game that he insisted that he go to so I decided that I would take the kids and let them run around and get some energy out from sitting in the car. So I quickly unpacked and started some laundry and off to the game we went. Well about 20 minutes into the game Kaden started complaining that his stomach hurt. Well right after he said that he then threw up all over me so I quickly cleaned it up and we headed home and told Paul to get a ride home. Well come to find out he had eaten some peanut butter crackers and that is what had made him sick. I was scared that he got something with peanuts but glad to know that his reaction is severe enough to result in a trip to the ER. That night Kaden slept in my room and I kept waking up every hour to check on him.
