Sick and Tired!

We'll I was going to post some more house pictures but I'm feeling pretty lazy and I don't want to have to find the camera and the cord...so no pictures. It's almost done. We should get carpet this week, then I think the only thing left is door knobs. We close on the 10th and we are pretty excited. Now if only we had furniture to put in the house. I guess house first other stuff later except for a fridge of coarse we still need to get one of those!
Back to why I named this blog post Sick and Tired. Wesley has been sick for as long as I can remember, he might have got in two weeks of not being sick. We have been going to the Dr. about every two weeks! Not only do I have to pay 30 bucks every time I go...they have not once made him better.
Back in December right before Christmas we took him in they said he had croup and they gave him a steroid shot. A couple weeks later, still not better we took him back in. They tried a breathing treatment on him. He still sounded exactly the same, so it was decided that didn't do much for him. Then we headed over to the lab and they took a snot sample. Good new was he didn't have RSV, but he did have the Rhino virus...which I believe is a cold of some sorts. So they sent us home with a snot sucker machine (was this supposed to make him better?) It didn't really help much since his nose was more plugged then runny.
One week later I took him back in. Let me just remind you this whole time, since before Thanksgiving, he has been coughing, stuffy/runny nose just not breathing well at all. However, he has remained cheerful and lucky for us, for the most part hes been pretty happy and well natured. He takes after Mike. I am not a good sick person. Anyway, so I take him back in, this was actually a well check visit. So this time they decide to do a chest x-ray...which was a horrible experience for both of us. Mostly Wesley, I just felt so helpless. They make him sit on what looks like a cute little bike seat, then they make ME put his little arms up by his ears, while they strap hard plastic around him. Ugh...it really was awful! Luckily it didn't take too long and we were done. So now we go back to Dr. she tells me his lungs are cloudy. I'm thinking WHAT DOES THAT MEAN! She tells me she wants to experiment with a small dose of steroid that you put in a nebulizer TWICE a day. Experiment...really. I just want him to be better, so i agree. After that he still gets to have his immunization shots, lucky boy. So off we go to Walmart to fill his prescription. One hour later we're finally home but Wesley wasn't done yet, we still had to administer the nebulizer! Which of coarse he hated...who wouldn't. Cried the whole 5 minutes. That's when I was thinking TWICE a day for three weeks! After all that he sounded a million times WORSE!! I ended up holding him half the night, not because he wouldn't sleep, but because he sounded so bad.
We continued with the Neb. for the rest of the week. He started to get ornery and sad, he would scream at us...really weird since he has always been so happy. So yesterday, I called a nurse at WeeCare to see if this was normal? She said we needed to get him in that day, not to wait. The Dr. we usually go to was booked so we had to go to someone else which for me is stressful. I'm starting to get a sore throat, and why wont Jaycee listen to me??? It was one of those days. I was about in tears when I called Mike and asked if he would go with me. He wasn't sure if he would be able to make it. So I'm driving to the Dr. trying to hold back tears. Just hoping and praying nothing is seriously wrong with him. He's been sick for so long! When I got there, Mike was waiting in the parking lot for me. Sigh...what a relief! We got checked in and waited...and waited, and waited. Everyone was going in, and then coming out, and we were still waiting there. Blah. Mike went back and asked if they had forgotten about us. It seems they had. 10 minutes later we got finally got to go sit in a room, where I finally broke down and started crying, talk about embarrassing. This new Dr. was very nice, stayed and talked to us for a good 30 to 40 minutes. He assured me Wesley didn't have cancer or any other serious illness. He let me know that Wesley now has ear infectionS. That is infections with an S because both ears are sick :( At least that explains why he has been so sad. The new Dr. wrote me down some good instruction on his new meds. He seems to think he has a sinus infection. So hopefully with this new medicine he will feel so much better.
So if you happen to see me and I look frazzled, don't judge me!:)

House Update

Our house now has walls!!! Yay! It's going up so fast, and now were on to the fun stuff. There going to be doing tile and paint and cabinets next. All the stuff we picked out. I hope it all looks good together.
This is our front entryway.
That pipe is where the kitchen sink will be in a bar.
This is Jaycee getting in the shower. :)
And one of my favorite parts of the whole house...that I would not do without, the fireplace. The windows are nice too.

So there you have it. After they are done mudding, we get our tile, which is another one of my favorites! I can hardly wait. We drive out there almost everyday to see the progress, and we are always amazed at how much they can get done in a day. Exciting!

Happy Anniversary to us!

I can't believe it's been 4 years already...like I always say, time flies. It's seems like yesterday we were in Manti getting married. I just wanted to let Mike and everyone know how much I appreciate him. Mike is the easiest person in the world to live with. He keeps things clean, he lets me watch whatever I want and he is almost always in a good mood. :) He is so so so good with kids. Not only our kids, but every kid that has ever met him. Anywhere we go kids just gravitate to him. Probably because he is the only adult around who gives them the time of day and will actually play with them. And it's not like he loves playing little kid games, he just likes to make people happy. He's a good sport.
Now, back to our own kids...Jaycee loves her daddy. Every morning she come into my room and asks "Where's daddy?" Then the rest of the day it's "When will daddy be home?" Once Mikes home I can't help her with anything. He has to help her go potty, sit with her to eat, play toys with her, brush her teeth, comb her hair, wash her up after she's done eating. It makes it kind of nice for me. Poor Mike comes home from work, then Jaycee puts him back to work. He never complains. Like I said, he's a good sport. Wesley loves him too, it's a little hard for him to show it yet, but he always has a big smile for Mike. I love when Mike will sit and talk to Wesley, it's so cute. Last night he had him laughing. He even changes diapers! How did I get so lucky?

Mike is good at everything...this is no joke. Anything he tries, it might take him a couple tries, but he is good at everything. He can play any sport he wants too, he can cross stitch, he completely remodeled our house, he can fix anything including cars, blow driers, lamps. Seriously I don't think there is anything he can't do.

He is hard working and always trying to better himself. He went back to school so he could move up in his job. He finished fast and was able to move up, so now he works in Ogden. It's nice having him close to home. We love going to lunch with Daddy. We appreciate how hard he work for us.

Thank you Mike for all you do for us...I'm so glad you picked me :) The last 4 years have been wonderful, here's to the next 4. I love you.

Wesley's Blessing

We had Wesley's blessing yesterday. It was such a good day. The blessing he got was so good. I can hardly wait to see the blessings come true. Wesley is such a good baby. He's almost always happy. He very smiley. He sleeps pretty good. We are very blessed. We love him so much, I don't remember how we lived without him. Jaycee's been sick with croup, so we've been trying to keep her away from him, not the easiest thing to do. She is always worried about him, she has to know where he is at all times. It's pretty cute. I'm pretty sure I have the cutest kids in the world.

Update on the house. We have a foundation...yay! They should start framing in the next week or so. It all depends on the weather, so I wouldn't blame them if they didn't work on it. I wouldn't go out in this wind. Burr!!

Sleeping Beauties

So I'm averaging about one post a month, that's pretty good compared to some...right?
I took this cute picture this morning of the kids and thought it was blog worthy. I don't always let them in bed with me, but sometimes when Mike has already gone to work and it's cold, and I'm lazy they get to sleep in our bed. They slept in late which was nice, I was able to get up and get ready. That hardly ever happens. Wesley was sitting up on my pillow when I went to get ready, when I came back in the room he had slid down next to Jaycee. I swear, I have the cutest kids in the world. If only they were always so cute and peaceful. I think it's funny how they are sleeping in the same position. Anyway, I just had to post this picture.
We got what I consider to be good news today. They are going to start digging the hole for the house on Monday! I am super excited, Mike is a little nervous. He was hoping for a little more time to save, I just want in. We've been keeping a pretty close watch on some of the houses going up in our neighborhood. Two of them are the same house plan as ours. It's been fun to see how fast they build them. We seriously make the trip out to Hooper at least once a week. I can't wait until we can actually see our house. That I'm sure will be much more exciting. I'll make sure to put some pictures up as soon as I get them.
Oh yeah, one more thing...Happy Thanksgiving!
