The Cold Bug!!

Our family has been hit by the cold bug. Megan had a fever and a bad cough so I kept her home from school on Friday. She was so upset about not going to school. You would have thought I told her she wasn't getting any presents for Christmas. I can only hope that she keeps that desire to go to school. I know... it is wishful thinking.

Today she isn't doing much better. She has started to loss her voice. She said she doesn't like having a "boy" voice. Lindsey now has a fever and a cough. Ryan said that he has a headache and I am getting a sore throat.

I really hope that the colds don't last too long!!

Week in Review

Monday was mine and Ryan's 7th anniversary. Whoo Hoo!! We made it 7 years. It amazing how fast it has gone. We were able to celebrate by going to dinner. It was great to finally be able to go out on a date. It been too long since we have gone anywhere without our kids.

Wednesday Megan and Lindsey was playing outside in the leaves. I was kitchen and had the kitchen windows open so I could hear them. It wasn't long before I heard a horrible "THUD", followed by Lindsey screaming. I ran outside to see Lindsey had blood running down her face. She had fallen off our back porch. Once I got her cleaned up it wasn't as bad as it first looked. She does have a good scrap on her head. Ryan thinks I am a little morbid that 1 I took pictures after I got her cleaned up and bathed. 2 because I'm posting the pictures for everyone to see.

Thursday I went to a gastroenterologist (I'm not sure I spelled that right.) about the pain in my stomach. He is the same doctor that did my scope. After reviewing all my lab work, CT scans and talking to me, he says he is about 70% sure that I have a stone that got left behind when they took out my gallbladder. Other possibilities is I have scar tissue from the gallbladder surgery that has become inflamed (There is nothing they can do about that, except medication.) or I have an infection in the area where my gallbladder used to be. He did reassure me that I don't have cancer!! Yeah!! And my gallbladder didn't grow back. I have to have a MRI done on Wednesday to look for any stones.

Friday while I was doing laundry Megan put Lindsey into one of my clothes hampers. I didn't realize Lindsey was in the hamper until I noticed the her hand opening up the lid. I thought I was funny that I had to grab the camera.


Today, Sunday was bitter-sweet. I have been the Primary Secretary for 2 years and today our presidency was released. Part of me was so happy. It was very stressful trying to do my calling while I have been sick and the president has been doing a lot of my work. I will miss the children as well as the presidency I was in.
It was also our wards primary program. Since I was in the Presidency I sat on the front pew so I could help the music leader. Megan did an awesome job with her part. I was very proud of her. She was on the front row and was setting by one of her friends. About half way into Sacrament meeting they started talking. Most of the ward thought they were funny when they started comparing their height. Lindsey was a normal 2 year old and reminded me why I always set in a side pew. Our Home teacher and his family where setting near us, they have a little girl about Lindsey's age. I saw Lindsey walk over and hand the little girl a pencil, I watched as her parents cracked up laughing. Lindsey comes back over to me as happy as pie carrying a baggie of Cheerios. She had traded her pencil for Cheerios. It took all I had to not laugh out loud.

Halloween!!


On Halloween my company has trickier treating for all the kids of employees. I have brought my girls the last 3 years. We came again this year. Megan and Lindsey always do really well. My company has 2 buildings are are 3 stories each. Every year the departments decorate for kids and hands out candy. My department did Willy Wonka.

Megan was a ballerina, again! I was so happy that we could reuse her costume from last year. Lindsey was a witch.

After the bags of candy we got from my work, we went to our wards Truck or Treat. They have enough candy to last for a couple of months. Unless Ryan and I eat it for them!!

Hazard's of Children ... No book with tell you!!

Today Lindsey was throwing a Tatum because she is a toddler. That is what they do best. She was laying by me in my bed. When she got upset and threw herself backwards and hit her head on my head. She hit me right above my eyebrow. She hit hard enough that I could see stars. Now I have a large knot on my head with a little bit of a black eye.

Both my girls were really bad at throwing their heads backwards when they were upset. I got a couple of fat lips. But this is my first black eye.
