Skyler's 15 month check-up

Today, We took Skyler in for his 15 month check up! He weights 23 pounds and is 32 inches long. He is in the 25th % for weight and 75th % for height. Dr Bean said he was run/walk alot, because he is long and skinny! We also talked to her about Skyler's ears and seizures. She asked how Skyler's speech development is doing, is he saying momma, dada, hi, bye. And he is not. All he does is grunt and say mmmmm. She said because of all of his ear infections, his fever seizure (caused by ear infections) and his speech development that it's time for tubes! So, she made us an appointment with a specialist on August 21st. Skyler has 3 teeth coming in and his molars are starting to bump out.

I love Skyler's Dr because I asked her about him being lactose intolerant and if we should just try milk or cheese with him to see if he can have it, but she did not want us to try because it would put us threw hell while he deals with the pain of it, but she gave us a name of an allergist that we could take him too to get tested. Which makes me feel alot better, instead of some weird form of torching my son.

Skyler got 3 shots today and cried threw out the whole thing. He is starting to know what the Dr's office is and that he gets shots there because today all he wanted to do was get out the door. He would keep trying to open the door or go stand by it while Dr. Bean was talking.. What a turkey. But, Dr. Bean said that Skyler is a healthy happy boy and once we get the ear thing solved we will be golden!

Since we got out of the Dr's early, we decided to play in the pool! Here are some fun pictures I took.

What a night!

Last night started out like any other night getting Skyler ready for bed. But then it turned sour really quick. Yesterday, he had been running on the warm side all day. I thought it was because he has 3 teeth coming in, so I keep him on the Tylenol. Well, last night we where getting Skyler ready for bed, Drew and I thought he felt REALLY warm, and his fever spiked really fast. We gave him Tylenol and a wet cloth for his head and hoped that his temp would go down. It was 103.6. As he sat/laid across my lap he just looked so lifeless, Drew tried to talk to him, get him to follow his finger something, but nothing. He was very unresponsive. He picked Skyler up and took him over to the fan thinking that would make him respond, but then it happened, He started to turn blue and go really stiff, he was starting a seizure. We laid him on the floor on his side and Drew called 911 and all we could do is sit and wait for him to come out of it. The paramedics came and said yes, it was another fever seizure just like he had in May. His levels where fine, sugars, ect. But they still wanted to get him checked out. So, off to the hospital we went...


After about 3 hours of waiting, the Dr. came in and said what called the fever was his double ear infection. I thought the fever was caused by his teeth coming in but I guess fever don't get above 100 degrees with teeth. Skyler, did not act like anything was wrong with his ears at all, so I would have NEVER would have guessed it was his ears. The Dr said to follow up with his normal Dr and ask them to do a full work up on him because since this is his second one, that it lowers the threshold to where he could have seizures all of his life even if they are not fever related. Skyler goes in on Thursday. I'm also going to ask her if we should put tubes in his ears because the last time this happened was because of an ear infection...


All in all, I'm glad that he is doing better today. He would not laugh, smile or want to move at all this morning, but Grandma and Grandpa crazy came out to see him today and he is doing better. It was the scariest moments in my life to watch my son go threw that and not being able to help him. But, I'm going to do everything I can so he does not have to go threw that again. We love Skyler and thanks for being so TUFF!!

Crazy Skyler

See what happens when you let grandparents baby sit your kids to long- My son has boobbies!!

Yes, I think this pictures shows how pissed I can make my son! I think it's quite funny!! He wanted out of the water!!

Kenny Concert!

Last night we went to Kenny Chesney!! I honestly think it was the best Kenny concert that I have been too EVER!!! It was held at the Rio Tinto, best out door concert! There where so many people there it was crazy! The concert started at 5:30 and did not end until 11. I think that best of the concert was then end when he rocked out too 5 - non- Kenny songs!! It was super hot and I turned into a sweat ball, but it was still worth it.

Hottie Kenny!

Me and my Big Sisser! xoxo. love ya, sis

Some Crazy, drunk I found at the concert!! Ü

Skyler is all boy!

I have my juice box, I'm ready to roll!

Yup! I have 100% all boy on my hands. So, this weekend Drew bought a pool for are back yard, (which we are in the process of fixing up) But he thought it would be great for the family and nice for the hot days that we have had lately. So, tonight he was putting the finishing touches on it and Skyler had to help. He did not care if he got dirty or that he did not have shoes on. He was out side with his daddy! He sat and played in the rocks, one time he tried to eat the rocks, he played in the dirt, he played in the pool as it was filling up and even had time to stop and give one of his puppy loves! He had dirt all over him, but he did not even care! He loved it!


watch out, I'm a big boy!

Playin in the water.

I love my puppy, Allie!

My HGC Diet

Ok, so I don't know if alot of you know, but I went on the HGC Diet. I started it May 31st and yesterday was the first day that I could eat some what normal!( oils, dairy, nuts, all meat, veggies and fruits back into my diet) I'm a VERY picky eater and on this diet you could only eat certain foods, and it was very hard for me but I did it. It was the longest 45 days of my life, But I'm 31 pounds lighter!! It was great because I got to go buy new clothes and put my bigger clothes away!! YiPpY!! I still have 3 weeks left but this is my maintenance part of my diet. Still no sugars or carbs. I'm very happy with my results and I'm thankful that I had my Drew there to support me the whole time, even thought I was not the nicest person on the diet! But we will be going to Jamaica really soon and that is going to be my celebration!!

Swimin' and playing in the yard

Today felt like the perfect day to play outside! Drew got Skyler's pool all set up and I sat outside with him and played in the pool! Now, of course he is used to grandpa and grandma Modahl's pool, so this was just a puddle for him.. but he still enjoyed it anyways!

We got Skyler this 4-wheeler for his birthday and he as been scared of it, but today he was having a great time with it. I fill up his little compartment with gold fish and he went to town on it. I had alot of fun outside playing with Skyler today! He was throwing is balls, found rocks to throw even played with the dogs! We finished up the afternoon with an otter pop!!

Date Day!

So, Drew and I have NEVER, EVER taken a day off to just goof off! We had some PTO time schedule so we could go to Bear Lake but our plans fell threw! So, Drew decided that he was just going to go to work, Because he is a workaholic. But I asked him if he could just take Friday off so we could have a day together and he did!! It was so much fun! I painted my bathroom Thursday while I was off, so Friday morning we finished putting everything back together. Cliff and Daylane came and got Skyler for the day, so we had the full day to ourselves! We went to a movie in the morning. We saw The Proposal. What a cute movie! After that we went to the new water park in draper. Cawabunga bay! It was a lot of fun! I wish I had Skyler there because he would have LOVED it! After that we went to dinner and home to get Skyler! It was so much fun to spend time with Drew and not have to worry about anything! Thank for the great day babe! I love you! xoxo

4th of July Activities!

What a great holiday we had! Drew, Darin, Aj and Taylor got to ride their 4-wheelers in the West Jordan parade. So, us wifes went to watched them! It was Skyler's first parade and he loved it! Every float that would come by that had girls on it he would get so excited and just start waving! What a stud!

Allie update!

Our Lil Allie! Only 3 weeks old!

Allie's leg has seemed at times like it was getting better but then on Sunday she started panting really bad. I called the vet that she had been going to for years and they said it's normal not to worry. So, last night I was sitting on the couch and she was breathing, really short-hard breaths. So, I called the vet and they said, "Well, we don't know what is wrong, if you are worried then you can bring her in." It really bothered me just how they acted like nothing was wrong and not their concern. So, I texted my friend, Jessica and asked her what is a good night time vet and she told me to take her to Cottonwood animal hospital. I called them and told them what had been going on and they said "If her leg has not gotten better with in 2 days being on the steroids then there is something that is being missed and she needs to be seen."





So, Drew took her to the vet at 9:30 last night while I stayed home with Skyler and Gator. They ran some blood test, some pain test, and a joint test. They wanted the back surgeon to look at her in the morning because she does have deep pain in her back and they wanted to keep her over night so he can look at her first thing in the morning. So, last night she had a vacation from the family. :(





This morning the surgeon called me and said they need to do an MRI on her but they could not fit her in until 6pm tonight and they would call me when they are done. So, we waited, and waited and they finally called; Dr. Law said that it's either 1 of 2 things- A piece of cartilage came off some where and is blocking blood flow in her spine, the part that controls the left leg. He said that it's like a stroke. Her leg will get better over time but never be 100%. Or option 2, is that 2 of her disks in her spine look weak and would need to be replaced or repaired and that would cause for surgery. But he wants to have the radiologist take a look at the MRI for sure before we know what needs to happen. So, poor lil Allie is away from home again until we find out what needs to happen!





It was a really emotional day for both Drew and I! It's sad because I know to some people say it's a dog. But I'm sorry, this dog, is our baby- She has been apart of our lives for almost 5 years now and we have taken care of her, loved her, played with her. She has been the best dog and is such a big part of our family and we hope that she gets better soon! Gator, I think is at a lost too with our her here, he just walks around the house looking for her hoping she will turn up! It's kind of sad! We love you Allie and are pulling for you!! xoxo
