Kayleen's ears

My daughter has tubes in her ears that have been there since she was about 9 months old. She had an ear infection so we took her to the dr, got a prescription and thought all would be well. So a week later - ear still leaking we got another prescription for ear drops. So now all will be better. No, within a matter of days the drainage wasn't there but blood. so we waited over the weekend to get to see the ENT Dr. Guess what the tube is falling out and this is the ear's way of saying I don't need that tube. So we have a small infection to clear up and she had one tube removed already the other one will follow next week. Sigh of relief.

Eric Needs another Sugery

I added a donation button to my page.

On Friday my Nephew went to Phoenix childrens for an excuse from PE. Instead he ended up with: multiple Dr.s and surgeons and xray they said surgery from 2 1/2 years ago has been deemed a "failed attempt" . The next 2 months involve cardiology exams, pulmonary reports, and another CT....so once again he... goes in for repair...this time the Nuss Procedure, with 2-3 bars.
The cost to the family is a $1500.00 deductible and 10% of the costs. The last surgery was $84,000.00.

Jan 22 & 23 cakes

January 22 was Amanda's baby shower. I hosted the shower with her step mother Cheryl. We had Valle Luna - only the best mexican food for my friend with cravings. Doug made the cake. I planned the games and prizes. It was a good day.
Sunday Bryan was in Drill weekend for the Navy reserves. Doug made a retirement cake and we all went down to where they hold the drill. The other Guys and Gals in his drill unit brought food and drinks. What a great way to celebrate retirement.

Birthdays

Our friend Larry turned another year older the other day. For the occassion I asked Doug to make these special cookies. The first attempt failed, and don't ask me to decorate because my cookies were lame. Here is the end result. I think they are really cute and super funny.

it has been a while hasn't it.

So its been a while since I have been on here. Have you all missed me?

Working on the baby room and getting stuff ready while I am off work. Thats about all that I have been doing.

family camping trip

in June we went with Jan and Janzen, Kevin and Dianna, Amanda and Jed camping at Woods Canyon Lake outside of Payson. It was COLD and my child would not sleep in her own sleeping bag. First time for me to sleep in a tent. It wasn't bad, but was happy to be home sleeping in my own bed. We played a game of baseball with the kids boys vs girls and the girls won. Boys were not very happy. Janzen taught all the kids to shoot a bow and arrow. They had craft time, then played a golf ball game that was really hard.
