Balls!!

A friend of mine got this for her little girl and I keep my eye out for one for Skyler! It's a bag of balls!! 100 to be exact! I got a baby pool and put all the balls in and let him go to town! He gets so excited and just pushes them around everywhere when he is in the pool. My favorite part is when he gets out and then tries to get back in and face plants into the balls- Does that make me a bad mom for laughing?? If it does oh well, It's freaking hilarious!

He LOVES it!!

Memorial Day Weekend!


This weekend we went out to the dunes! Yes, of course we did! The whole family went out together. Me, Drew, Skyler and BOTH dogs! Man, was it a hand full but it was fun! Skyler decided that he wanted to get another ear infection before we where ready too leave! So, we also got to deal with that! Skyler handles the ear infections pretty good so that is why we still went out this weekend. Thank goodness for Tylenol and ear drops! But, if anyone was the baby this weekend it was me.. I got bit by a red ant the first day out there then a sun burn on the second day and the third day I just go sick! (maybe I should have stayed home) All in all it was a fun and relaxing trip. We love all of our dunes memories!

Yup!! Look what the Crazy's have done now!!

They are doing construction on my mom's street and Skyler is in heaven!! He watches all the tractors and the trucks move all the dirt. The other day they where outside watching the tractors and trucks and my sister took some pictures and I had to share them because I think they are so freaking cute! Really shows me how much fun they have with Skyler.

Grandpa likes to dress me up like a nerd! He seems to think I will get chicks!



This is my car! It's pretty sweet! (This grandpa will get me chicks)



Grandpa hangs me by my overalls!! Can you say diaper wedgie!!

Play date with Jameson

Brittany and Aj needed a baby sitter and asked Drew and I if we would do it! And of course I jumped at the chance to do it! Plus, I kind of owe them for how much they watched Skyler when he was first born! But, we where so excited for Jameson to come over and play with Skyler.

They had so much fun together. Skyler loved to stick his finger in Jameson mouth. Ya, I know.. Silly boy! Skyler showed Jameson his favorite movie, CARS! I think it was a little to advance for him because he got board and feel asleep! But, my favorite part of the whole night was putting them in the bath together! Skyler did not know what to think, but once he figure it that his friend was in here, he was showing him all of his cool toys!

I will admit one thing, having Skyler at a year old then having Jameson whom is almost 4 months old made me really think how I'm so not ready for 2 kids!!! I think when ever I get baby hungry, it's time for Jameson to come over and play again!! But, we sure did enjoy having Jameson come over and play!! Thanks Brittany and Aj for letting Jameson come and play!

Mother's Day

Happy Mommy's Day to Me! I love being a mom! I absolutely love it! I know some times it's trying and keeps me busy but it is all worth it. You get to watch something you made, grow up and develop into a big boy! Right now, I'm really enjoying the feeling of being a mom because Skyler is discovering and learning so much right now.

My Mother's day started off with Drew letting me sleep in and he took care of Skyler when he woke up. All the kids (Allie and Gator included) bought me a Azalea plant. It's really pretty and unique.We got to spend time with my mom, Drew's mom and Daylane. It was really great to see them on Mother's day (with exceptions of Daylane but Saturday counts) They are all special to us in so many different ways and do so much for us! We are thankful to have them in our lives. We love you guys!


Skyler still was not feeling the greatest because of his previous incident, which turned into a double ear infection :( So, we did not get to do to much. but relax. Which was needed! Drew and Skyler did take me out to dinner at my favorite place, Tenpenki! (I know I spelt it wrong) All in all it was a great Mother's day and I'm so thankful that I have such a great Lil boy that I love so much!

Thank you for the great day Drew and Skyler! I love you guys! xoxo

What a Day!

Today, I have marked as the scariest day being a mom/dad/parent/grandparent! It all started at 3am this morning. Drew and I get woken with this blood curdling scream from Skyler's room. We go in there and he is burning up. So, Drew and I knew just how to handle because we have been threw this a couple times, Tylenol, bottle, rock back to sleep! So we thought. His temp did not go down so, we undressed him into his diaper and place a cool rag over his head and he went and snuggled into bed with us. About 5am we wake again with blood curdling screaming. He is still SO warm. We gave him some moltin (because some times Tylenol does not help his fevers). And he feel asleep. I woke up started getting ready for work and Cliff and Daylane had come to get Skyler. And I told them that he had a ruff night, no more fever it was down to 98.7 but he still was not acting like himself. They said don't worry we have it cover.

About 9am I texted Daylane to see how lil man was and she said that he was doing GREAT! He was eating, laughing, playing in the garage with grandpa. So, I thought all was good that he is feel better. HA!! I get this phone call from Drew about 12:30 saying "You need to meet me half way from my work to your work." "why" I asked. Daylane just called me and told me that Skyler had a seizure and they are putting him the ambulance and taking him to McKay-Dee hospital in Ogden! I was so confused and lost that I hung up on Drew before I could think of where to meet him, is Skyler ok, What happened, anything- After I figured out what had just happened I called Drew back and he said he was coming to get me because he did not want me to drive. While I was waiting for Drew to get there I called Daylane and found out what happened. Skyler, went down for a nap and had woke up all red faced and red eared, they gave him some moltin and started to feed him lunch and that's when it happened. He went into a seizure. He stayed in the seizure for about 3 min's. They called 911 right away. The paramedic's showed up got him stabled and took him to the hospital. Cliff went with Skyler in the ambulance and Caysie and Daylane followed behind them.

Drew finally got to my work (which seemed like hours but it was really only like 10 mins) and off we went. As I got into the car with Drew and I saw the scared look on his face and him trying to hold back the tears I lost it. I could just picture Skyler sitting there so scared and just wanting his mommy! I think the drive to Ogden, Drew and I did it in record time. We got to the hospital and Skyler was sleeping. They where just getting ready to do some test on him to figure out why he had such a high fever (102.0) because he did not have any ear infections, cough, or sore throat so they need to figure out where the fever was coming from! They did chest x-rays, took blood, a pee sample and a snot sample.

Well, all of his tests came back fine. Ok, so why did he have the seizure??? The DR explained to us Skyler was starting to get a common virus or cold and that is what spiked his fever which made him have a seizure. It's called Febrile Seizures. From what I'm told by the DR it's very common and happen to 6 out of every 25 kids. (It must not be that common because I have never heard of this before!! ) The DR said that he will grow out of it by the age of 8 when his body can fight of the fever, but it's very possible that it will happen again!! So, knowing the Skyler is safe we got discharged and got to come home.

Skyler is doing better tonight. Still has a fever and is very tired. Drew and I are now going to be on alert 100% of the time when ever he seems to be getting a cold or a fever. Because I know that I don't want to go threw that ever again! I do want to thank Cliff, Daylane and Caysie for being so strong and taking such good care of Skyler until we got to him! We love you guys!!! Also, thank you to everyone everyone else that worried and showed support to us and caring for our lil dude!
Just got home from the hospital. Watching cars, eating Cheerios.

Skyler can walk!

Today was a big step for my lil man! We have been working with him to walk since Sunday and today at grandma crazy's house he took flight! He gets the biggest grin on his face as he is walking. He still finds it easier to crawl but I'm sure it will get better over time! Congrats Skyler on becoming a big boy! Mom and dad are so proud of you!

Allie and Gator get exposed to the Dunes

What cute lil kids! This weekend Drew and I went out to the dunes! Since we got our new trailer we want to be out there as much as we can! My mom offered to take Skyler for us so we could introduce Allie and Gator to the trailer and the dunes. They have never been out there before so I was really worried about how they would be. But they did FREAKING AWESOME! I was so impressed with them! They had so much fun! Allie is a little scared of the 4- wheelers but Gator acted like he ran the show and was always over hanging with the boys! Except that he did get bit by a red ant! :( poor Gator! Thanks for being such great kids Allie and Gator!! Next time- all 3 kids!
