Dana and baby Karsyn

Proud momma


Here is our newest addition to our extended family/friend circle. Meet 2 month old baby Karsyn. We were blessed to have her here visiting with her mommy for about a week this last month. I truly loved having her around. And of course loving her smile.



Zachary with Karsyn....he wants a little brother or sister...makes me kinda sad that there will be no more but I guess I can spoil others babies and then send them home when they get cranky....lol


Trinity loving on Karsyn as well.


Pretty in Pink











ER Update w/ few pics

A quick update on Savannah.......she is feeling much better, still taking her meds. and little tummy pain but overall much much better. And we haven't been back to the hospital since Monday, thank goodness. Here are a few pics while we we're there.


Her first visit over the weekend after she got her IV. She did a GREAT JOB!!!


Arms up going for her CT Scan....again she did great and was never scared. I think she really didn't care what was going because of her 103.9 fever.


and our second trip another IV and more tests.
Thanks to those for their prayers.

ER Round #2

Here I sit with Savannah in the ER for our second trip within 3 days. They first thought it was her appendix with having extreme right lower stomach pain and 103.9 fever, but it wasn't, then they moved maybe to her large intestine and /or colon and now after a complete CT, many labs, chest Xray and urine samples we are back with complications from Pneumonia. I am beginning to get a little frustrated here. When they discharged us Saturday evening she still had a fever of 101.8 and vomiting and nothing to help her with that she was good enough to go home......not!! Then we watched her really close yesterday and we managed to get her through the day ok. Then this morning it started up all over again with vomiting severe stomach pain and here we sit. And all they will focus on is her Pneumonia. What about all her pain she is in.....maybe that's way she is vomiting so much. But what do I know, I'm just a parent to 5 kids......... Bare with me I just needed to vent.

Another Birthday Girl Bash and More Pics!!!!! UPDATED!!!!!

Happy 12th Birthday to our Big girl!!!! It is hard to believe that Trinity is now 12 years old.....my goodness where has the time gone???? I wish she time would slow down, they all seem to be growing up so fast. So we have finally made it through the month of February and YES we had our very BIG Birthday Party Bash. A total of 17 girls not including our own kids were here at our house and 10 of them ended up staying the night. Plus my good friend Dana from Olympia was staying here with her 2 month old daughter, my sister and also Alicia and my dear friend Tammy. I started with the idea for the party to make cupcakes and to decorate them all with flowers etc., but then Dana came up with the idea of having the girls in different age/grade groups get around the table and have them decorate their own cupcakes themselves. Which was a BIG hit. I set up a lot of things for them to put on their very own cupcake. It was a lot of fun but thank goodness it is over. The sleeping arrangements were fun in itself. We had bodies everywhere!!!! Little girls "k" grade in the girls room, 6-8 grade in the boys room which was very nice of Tristian to clean it up and move out to the cot so that the girls could have their own space, and then my sis on our couch, Dana and baby on the blow up mattress and Zachie in bed with us. It was crazy. Not to sure if I'm doing that again next year.....LOL As you all now we have had a very busy month with my parents and my niece came and visited. That was so great to see them. It had been way to long. Then the following week was Michelle and Hailey and stayed for a few days. I LOVED having them, it was a lot of fun looking through yearbooks and wondering what happened to everyone (besides the ones on facebook/myspace). Getting together with Alicia was a blast as well....playing games, listening to music and acting like fools. Loved it!!!! I can only hope that you don't wait 2 years to come out again Shell Bell....LOL. Then after Shell was Dana and her new baby girl Karysn and the birthday party. We had good times and we loved all the company!!! Here are some pictures of this last month.
