This is 2 days after the last post…we’re SO excited!!!!

May 20

Our awesome neighbors were preparing the dirt to start their garden and left a space for us. How nice!!!! Steve started basil, zucchini, cucumber, tomato (x2) and pepper in an egg carton in our kitchen window. Last night they were barely sprouting out of the ground. This is what we saw this morning! Wow! What a change!!!

So earlier last week Evie started crying in the middle of the night. I yelled out “Go ni-ni” like I normally do. A few minutes later, she cried again. After the 3rd time, I got up to see what the matter was and as soon as I stepped into their room I could smell throw up. Yuck. We cleaned her up, took apart her bedding and threw it in the washer. I laid down with Evie while Steve was doing the laundry and “blah” – she threw up on me. Not nice. The next day, they both had a doctor’s appointment. As soon as we walked into the doctor’s office, Spencer says “Mommy – look what Evie’s doing.” And yes, she threw up again.

I ended up getting sick Friday night. I never threw up but my stomache felt like there was a balloon constantly filling up and putting a ton of pressure on me. I also felt light headed and weak. Plus, to say it nicely, I needed to stay very close to the bathroom.

Saturday night, Spencer fell asleep around 9 and Evie fell asleep shortly after. We were so excited for the kids to be asleep and us tired enough to fall asleep early. I read until midnight then I heard Spencer wake up. He wanted “dinner” but I told him I wasn’t going to cook anything so he could have crackers. He fell asleep before he ate anything. Evie woke up a bit later and after 15 minutes I just brought her to bed with me. Spencer, at some point, woke up and joined us too. So, from midnight to 5:30 am I was constantly woken up by one of the two. At 5:30 I woke up to Spencer crying because he threw up and IN MY HAIR too! We cleaned him up, put Evie back in her crib, and I leaned over the bath to wash my hair. Our sheets were gross so we ended up on the couch. Spencer was awake and on the couch with me so I put a movie on and tried to sleep. That didn’t happen until 8 when I told Spencer I was going back to my bed. Ten minutes later, Evie woke up. Needless to say I didn’t get much sleep. Spencer has since thrown up twice more. Ick.

It’s weird not remembering a lot of details from Six Flags. I know we had lots of fun, I know we spent some quality time in the lines, and I remember being really thirsty. Other than that…I’m kind of drawing a blank. So, here’s what I came up with for our Six Flags trip back in 2004 with Jed and Leona.

Here’s the page dedicated to the first BIG purchase as a married couple.

I decided to work a little on the time we went to California with Jed and Leona Burton back in 2005. Here’s the one I finished so far. I still need to find out the name of the city we were in (hint hint…Leona!!!). Then I can add that on there too.

This is especially for Matt (per his request). I didn’t completely remember how the whole “throw Uncle Matt away” even took place but it’s still pretty cute. It’s a long video because I included Evan, Spencer and Luke wrestling with Uncle Matt (with Mikey joining in to help). Enjoy!

This past weekend we were so excited to celebrate Kayley’s decision to be baptized as a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints. I know we are very proud of her…and let me tell you…she looked beautiful in her baptism dress! I can’t believe how big she is and that she is already 8 years old!!!
