Crazy Week

Well it's been a crazy week 1st on Friday and Saturday, March 26 & 27, I was in Salt Lake for a (UDSF) Utah Down Syndrome Foundation President meeting. We met for dinner Fri. night and had the meeting from 8-3 Sat.. My mom and my aunt went with me so I didn't have to stay in a hotel in Salt Lake by my self. So after dinner Fri. we went to a few stores and at about 11 we went and checked into the hotel. The crazy thing was though was that my mom and my aunt were so tiered that they had quite the case of the giggles and were being crazy. We were getting all sorts of looks from people trying to figure out what was going on..lol

Then after my UDSF meeting I had to get home so I could make it to the Youg Womens Conference at our Stake Center. So I made it with about 5 min. to spare. Mean while, while I was down at my meetings Josh was home trying to get my kitchen floor done, with Kinley helping him...lol














On Sunday we were suppost to be going to Joshs Parents for Kevins Birthday before church (Seeing how church is from 2:30 - 5:30 now) And Braxten also had a talk we all forgot about. So we helped Braxten with his talk, ran to Kevin and Launas, came home and changed went to church, helped Braxten with his talk, ran to Young Womens and finally home.

On Mon. my sister-in-law came and helped me finish painting my walls. We painted all day, but we got done. Yeah!! And yes we had 4 kids and 3 dogs running around.

On Tuesday I ran down to SLC with some of the other leaders for the Young Womens training. It was so good. It was so neat to hear from those great Women. While we were walking back to the car the wind was blowing like crazy. We ended up hiding by the Key bank building because the wind was blowing sand and dirt and we were all in dresses and it hurt. I do wish we would have gotten pictures of all of us with our hair straight up in the air from the wind..lol The meeting was from 12-3:30 and we had Young Womens at 7 so I had time to run home and be home for about an hour and had to leave again. I finally got home at about 8:45 just in time to help Josh get the kids in bed and sit for a while.

On Wed. was Kylers 4th Birthday so I was trying to get everything all cleaned, run to the store to get treat bags for Kylers class, run them up to the school before school was over, run back to the store with Kyler and Kinley to finish getting stuff for the party, and get a cake made all before 5:30 when everyone was coming. It was really fun going to Kylers school and see all the other kids sing Kyler Happy Birthday in Sign Language and watch him hand out all of his little gift bags with his Birthday hat, that was way to big...lol

And to hear all of these little kids ask their teacher if they could give Kyler a hug to tell him Thankyou. I also thought










Kylers cake turned out really cute.














We had the whole family come over and Kyler had so much fun. He loved opening his presents he got a vaccum that he loves,a Spongebob Blanket that he loves, a Spongebob hoppy ball that he loves, a Spongebob singing birthday card that he loves.














Did I say he loves Spongebob..lol Lets just say he got alot and over half of it was Spongebob.













On Thursday and Friday Josh stayed home sick. I was trying to get everthing finished and ready for the neighborhood Easter Egg Hunt that I put on and I was able to get our Church so we could have it in there not out in the snow. I have been doing this Easter Egg hunt for about 6 years and we have never had to deal with snow...lol


The kids also had fun coloring Easter Eggs.








Sat. we had our Hunt at the Church at 9:30, to go around conferance, and we had a pretty good turn out. Kinley was having so much fun and Kyler just wanted to run the halls.

















Sunday started very early for me and BrynLee. She woke up at "4:30" and I do have to say she was trying to be quiet but she started caughing and couldn't stop. But she always wakes up really early on Christmas and Easter, and by early I mean early, she woke up at 2 in the morning for Christmas this last year. But all of the kids were excited and had alot of fun hunting for eggs.
















We watched conferance as much as I could with kids yelling for mom and Kinley crying and so on. We went to Josh's parents at noon and had lunch and they got to hunt even more eggs. We even made it to my parents for a while. Mom gave the kids kites so they went and flew them for a while. After we got home at 9:00 I took the kids over to my neighbor, Shelley, so they could sleep over, because we had to get up and have Kyler and Kinley at the hospital by 6:30 to get tubes in their ears.

Now today we woke up Kinley and Kyler and took them right out to the van. Josh drove his car so he could go to work when we were done. When I got into the van I said "good morning" to Kyler and he was way to happy for that early in the morning, he was clapping with the radio on our way to the hospital. They were both pretty happy for getting woke up when we got up into the waiting room. They took Kyler back 1st and cleaned his ears out, put tubes in "This is his 4th set" and did a hearing test. When Kyler was in the recovery room they came and got Kinley and she didn't, even cry when they took her it was quite nice.


















About 15 min. later they brought Kyler in and he was acting really well he wasn't crying and drank 2 whole sippy cups of juice. About 10 mins. after we got Kyler they brought Kinley out with her new tubes and she was really happy also, she also drank 2 sippys of juice. So we where good to go. So far everything has gone great they took a nap and everything.
So sorry it was so long but it was one crazy week and as I have said before this is my way of journaling.

Glad to see that you posted. I have been checking in. Sounds like a really crazy couple of weeks for you. I'll bet it was good though. I just love having a freshly painted room. And a new floor too? How nice. It's nice to know all went well with the tubes. William had to get tubes in a year ago and when they brought him back it was no picnic. He had a hard time with the effects of the anestheia and riped the iv out of his arm spilling blood all over my cloths. It's nice to know not all are like that. Hey, I was wondering if you have the info on the Easter Egg hunt for the DS group? Is it still on the 17th?
