Merry Christmas

We started our Christmas fun at the Bailey's. We all went into Jen's gym and played games.
Jamie and Brooke posing for the camera.These two make me laugh. Jonas is 9 months younger than Whitney but he just towers over her. We played Minute to Win it. Girls vs. Boys. The girls won!!! (that's how I remember it)

Maybe not....

I know for sure I beat Patrick! YEAH!We played a game where you started with a cookie on your forehead and had to move it into you mouth using only your face muscles. Great game to watch!

Kenna won!

We then popped a pinata. The kids had so much fun!

We went to the Oliverson's Christmas eve and had a great time!

Weston was really excited to open presents on his first Christmas! Brayden finally got a pillow pet. He had a melt down at least once a day 'want my pillow pet' Brayden was so excited to finally open the 'esens'
Whitney LOVES music. Grandma and Grandpa got her music instruments. Here Grandma and Whitney are jammin' outSanta brought Whitney a shopping cart. She loves it! She walks a little puts something in then walks a little more. Anyone who has ever played with Whitney knows in-and-out is her favorite thing to play! This is our beautiful picture of the Salt Lake Temple from my Parents. I love it

We didn't get a white Christmas at our house. Thank goodness we were at the Oliverson's. Here is the snow we got just after Christmas. If you look close you can see our pine tree popping out of the snow.

(the tree is only about 2 1/2 feet tall but it sound much better saying you can't see our tree ;))

What we've been up to...

We have been busy this last month and a half.

November 9th, Patrick had emergency surgery to remove his gallbladder. he spent 3 days in the hospital. His gallbladder was dead and his body was trying to fight the infection. The doctor told him to take 2-3 weeks to recover. So he spent the next 2 weeks home from work and stayed home with us.

We spent Thanksgiving in Idaho with the Bailey's. The kids had fun playing with the cousins and playing in the snow. They were able to make a tunnel under the snow and have a fort.

December 6th, I took Whitney to the doctor cuz she was acting sick and I didn't want her 4 weeks of ear infections to come back. Her appointment was at 9:45 and by 10:30 she was admitted into the hospital and working on getting an iv started. They were much better this time it only took 5 tries. (last time it took 16 pokes) We spent 4 days in the hospital with pneumonia. She was having a hard time keeping her oxygen levels up so they sent her home with oxygen, an o2 monitor, and a BBG (baby bugger grabber). Her she is with all her equipment ready for bed.

Here she is with her oxygen on. She hated it. They gave me sticky things to hold them in place but she just pulled them off so we used band aids!Here we are all ready for Christmas. We are all feeling better right now and are excited for Santa to visit our house.
