Crazy Tuesday

So yesterday was a very crazy day. It all started around 7 am when I could hear Makenna calling for me. Which is weird because she usually just comes in to my room and wakes me after 8. So I jumped up and went to check on her. She had her back turned to me so I just started scratching her back. Well the whole time she was asleep and I had just woken her up. We found out that her monitor had been turned off in her room and we were picking up some other kid through our receiver. Dang monitor. We will have to get a new one that is a different kind for the new baby. But anyways, Makenna wasn't acting very well and shortly after I woke her up she started throwing up. She continued to throw up about every 15 minutes for 3 hours. Then it turned to blood that she was throwing up. So I called her doctor and they said they couldn't see her and we needed to take her to the ER. Well I started freaking out because I have never been to the ER before. I didn't know where it was or what to expect and Weston was out helping survey so he couldn't go with me. Well I got her over to the hospital and they admitted her and then Weston was finally able to show up which was a very good thing. We had to hold her down while they drew her blood and took x-rays. That was the worst part. But they couldn't find anything really wrong so they just think she tore her stomach or esophagus because of all of the throwing up. So that was where the blood was coming from. So they gave her some nausea medicine and an iv and after 3 hours we were able to go home. I have to say that the people there were really nice and helpful. That was good. They even brought Makenna some toys to play with and a doll to color. So today she is doing better but she was still throwing up last night. Hopefully she is about over it and she gets better. That was too crazy of a day for me to handle.

2 More Days!!!

Wednesday I have another doctors appointment and it is our ultrasound! I hope the baby cooperates and we can find out what it is! Boy or girl? I honestly don't care. I want both. But as soon as I find out, the sooner I can go shopping! I just don't think Makenna's little sundresses from when she was born will work for a December baby. The suspense is killing me. I can't wait. But only 2 more days. I can do this. (i think)

Shrinking Summer List

So tonight we were able to cross another item off our summer to do list. Thanksgiving Point is doing their $2 Tuesdays so we went and walked around the gardens tonight. Makenna just loved it. She just wanted to watch everything and everyone. Her favorite part were the waterfalls. She also really liked the ponds with the fish in it. It was a really nice night to go out together as a family and hopefully we can fit some more activities in before summers over. As usual here are some pics.

Makenna in front of the big waterfall. She just loved it here and would have stayed the whole night standing there watching it.

Just sitting on a park bench. Aren't they so cute!


A frog on a lily pad. I thought it was cute.

This was as close as we could get her to the water. She is so timid with things, it's just funny.

Swimming

I have had this big list of things that I wanted to do over the summer. Well guess what? It's August and we haven't crossed anything off that list! One of the things on the list was to go swimming. So on Saturday we went to the Legacy Center and took Makenna swimming. She was very hesitant at first and didn't want to do anything but watch the people. But she started to warm up and her favorite thing was the big bucket dumping. She would get so excited and stop whatever she was doing just to watch it. She would just scream while it was dumping because she thought it was so cool. I was glad to finally get something crossed off the list.

Just hanging out on the side of the pool

In the little bouncy chairs

She kept wanting to go dry off on her towel.


Makenna and I just hanging out

She wouldn't sit in the chair and bounce. She just liked standing up in it.

Another Cabin Trip

So this past weekend we went to the cabin again. And all I can say was wow it was quite the trip. Every time we go up there Makenna is either throwing up from lack of sleep or she is just sick. This time we realized that she has horrible allergies. Her eye's were running and puffy and she couldn't stop coughing the whole time we were up there. We were already planning on seeing the allergist because she has had a cough since April but now we know that she has bad allergies. So we will have to go and see what he has to say. But besides the lack of sleep, throwing up, and non stop coughing it was a fun trip. Here are some picture's of course from the weekend. I just can't seem to add a post with out them!

Shane and Cali brought her parents Ranger up and it was so much fun to go for rides in

Makenna liked to sit up front and drive

Grandma brought lots of crafts for the kids to do. This was a little covered wagon that they were working on.


Makenna fell asleep on one of our four wheeler rides. That helmet was really heavy to hold up.



They were enforcing helmet laws up to the cabin this time so we stopped in Heber and bought one for Makenna. We have been wanting to get one for her but they were so expensive. I'm glad we were forced to get one for her. It definitely is a lot safer.


I just had to add this last picture. Makenna wanted to take a picture of Wes. So this is her first ever photo. She almost didn't get him in the shot!

Makenna's New Shirt

Makenna got to wear a new shirt to grandma and grandpa's yesterday, and she looked so cute in it that we had to take her picture and post it.



Yup, Makenna is going to be a big sister. She is so excited. Right now she is obsessed with babies and she likes to give kisses to momma's baby. She even points to her own belly and says "my baby!" The baby will arrive sometime between Christmas and New Years. Perfect time of year. (Well perfect time of the year for the flu season.) We are officially due January 1st but the doctor said he would induce me a week early. But that would be Christmas day so it will have to be sometime that week. So everybody keep a watch on my baby ticker and that way you will know about how many more shopping days you have left tell Christmas!

4th of July

Happy 4th of July everyone! I know it's a couple days late but better late then never! Well we had a fun one. We woke up Saturday morning and had the best dutch oven breakfast up to my parents house. Then we had a water party with Makenna's pool, a slip and slide and of course a sprinkler under the trampoline. Makenna was just in heaven. Then we had a BBQ with the Southwick's and we watched fireworks up to Rus and Kristy's place. They have a good view and it's not overcrowded with people. It was a very nice and relaxing weekend. We even got Makenna to finally hold a sparkler. She was so cute! And of course I've got some pics of the weekend.

Makenna dumped water all over me and started a water fight with the rest of my family

She liked to be wrapped up in a towel whenever she got wet

Watching fireworks with Shali

This is the best we could get of the fireworks with our camera

Makenna loves popcorn! So we brought some to eat while we watched the fireworks
