4th of July

Grandma and Grandpa had a get together/sleepover with all the cousins to celebrate the 4th of July. The week leading up to the sleep over was all the girls could talk about! They love going there because they can roam free all day long. There are animals to feed, pastures to run in, a huge garden to eat from, homemade soap and lotion to get clean with and lots of love from Grandma and Grandpa! We had a big dinner and afterwards made ice cream on the porch. The little girls all took turns turning the knob. Afterwards we all enjoyed an evening of games. Thanks to Mom for another fun 4th! now we are looking forward to Pioneer day at Levan park!

One of my worst moments!

My baby Miles wasn't acting himself thursday, so I took him into the pediatrition office. His tempurature was 100.4, they put a cathider in him to get a urine sample then sent me to the hospital to get his blood drawn. They pinched and polked for about 30 minutes until they found a vein. An hour later the doctor called to tell me that his white blood cell count was way high so I needed to bring him back to the office to get a spinal tap! I about died when I heard him say that! he told me that they were concerned that it could be meningitis and that it was the procedure they take when dealing with babies that young. I was a mess!! FYI, don't stay in or around the facinity while your baby is getting a spinal tap!!! the worst sound and sight I could have witnessed! it felt like it lasted an hour! they put that freaky long needle in his spine three times till they got enough fluid from his spinal cord! and then gave him two shots of an antibiotic. it was rediculous! and all the while ben was out of town and comunicating on the phone with me. He almost got on a plane ride home, but when the spinal fluid came out it looked clean so we waited for the results. We were so blessed to find out that he just had a virus that his body would fight off naturally. Thank goodness!! I am not cut out for things of this nature!!!

bear lake

We went to bear lake a couple weeks ago with Ben and Jessie's family. We rented a beach house that was perfect for both families and we let the kids go wild with playing in the sand, jumping on the trampoline, roasting marshmallows in the fire pit, and eating, eating, eating! We rented a boat and spent all day on it. I turned into a lobster, and earned about 70 freckles on my back that I am not happy about! but learned that if your back is faced away from the sun you still can get fryed from the reflection on the water!!

This was our view from the picknic table where we were eating dinner. Those two lamas were getting it on! and the kids thought it was so fun that they wanted to play along side! That is Garland running after them.

Eva Marie had a serious explosion as you can see and neither one of us had an extra diaper. I guess as cousins we think alike and didn't think we needed to bring any extras to this beach that day, luckily she had some extra wipes stuck in the side door. I opted to take a photo first before helping her out, it was just to funny!
