Kate Is Feeling Better

Thank you so much for every body who helped out while Kate was not feeling well. I love all of my family and Friends, they are the greatest support I could ever hope for. Thank you for keeping her in your prayers, also for all of the blessings that she recieved. As you can see by the pictures she is feeling great and getting around just great. She is doing the scooting thing right now. I am sure it will be pretty quick and she will be crawling. We are so lucky that she is healthy. We all love her fun little personality!

Kate Stopped Breathing!!!

Well I think Greg and I have never been so scared in our lives. We went up with some family to a family cabin and we were just sitting around the fire having a good time. Kate was sitting in my lap and when I looked down at her hands they were purple. I stood up with her and started patting her back and just watched her. About one minute had passed and her whole body was blue and was was shaking really bad. I kept trying to make her smile and she was just very lathergic. Greg got up and said that we needed to get her down the mountain and to a hospital. Greg and family gave ger a quick blessing and off we went.

The weather was very cold and the roads very icy. I didn't think that we were going to get down in time to get her help. We were about half way down the mountain when she got really rigid and stiff and she was just barely breathing. What was even scarier was the fact that you get no cell phone reception up there. Well Greg said a prayer while we were driving and right after we said amen Gregs brother opened his phone and he had all of his bars on his phone. He called 911 so that they knew we were coming down the mountain.

At that point Kate was as stiff as a board and her eyes were rolled back in her head. I thought for sure we were going to loose her. Well we got down to the base of the mountain and there came an EMT. I have never been so happy to see someone like that before. He opened the door where me and Kate were sitting and he put an oxygen mask on her. The ambulance came shortly after that and we were off to the hospital. When we got there her oxygen level was at 80%. They say it is very dangerous if it ever gets under 90%. They took her temp. and it was 104 degrees. Well thy got her fever under control and she started to do much better. They took some x-rays of her chest and they were all clear. We are very blessed that she is okay. They dont really know what happened. The doctor said it was a good thing that it happened when she was awake because if it would have happened when she was asleep it could have been sudden infant death. When the doctor said that I realized then how lucky we were that she was okay. They released us to go at about one in the morning. She has a little ear infection, but other wise very healthy. I had a follow up apointment the next morning with her doctor. They said that she would be just fine. She thinks that she might have had a seizer but that they will never know for sure. It all started with the ear infection. The fever was the first sign and because we were at very high altitude her body went into to shock because of the oxygen was thinner up there. Her little body started to shut down to try to save her brain from the fever.

What I get out of this experience is to always cherish your children. You never know when something bad will happen to them. My family is so lucky to have the priesthood in our house so that when bad things happen, Greg can give us a blessing. I just want to say that I am lucky to live were I do, to have the family and friends that loves me and cares for me. I love Greg very much. He means the world to me and our children. We are so blessed to be members of the only true church. I know that Jesus Christ hears and answers our prayers, and that he knows what we need and trys to lighten our burdens if we just try to do what is right. I know that he loves me and my family and wants us to be happy. I hope that nothing like that ever happens again.

Good News and Bad News

Well, I will start off with the good news. Kate has now got her first tooth and the second one is getting ready to come in. It will be in this week some time. Now for the bad news. She is not sleeping very well at all. I do not do well with little sleep so we are all hoping that she gets her teeth in quickly so we can all resume our sleeping habits. Mother hood is the greatest thing I will ever do but some times it is very trying.

Kates first time eating solids

We decidied to give solids a try the other day to see how she would do. These are the results. She did not get much down but she sure thought it was fun to spit it back out and all over everything.

She is quite the little ham. She was so proud of her self for making fun noises with all that food in her mouth. She is getting so big so fast.

Our First Snow

Our first snow fo the year came on Oct. 12. It was a sunday morning and because we have very late church I let the kids go out and play in it for a couple of minutes. As you can see they really enjoyed them selves. I am not that hot on winter but the kids loved it.

Seven Blissful Years

Greg and I have been Married for seven years now. We just had our anniversary! How time flies when we are having fun.
I love greg very much, he is always so supportive. He is such a hard worker and a good example for our family. We love you Greg!

Erin

First off, Erin is a total bumb for moving away from us all. So a few girls from the ward went out to dinner the other night, it was so much fun. So we were all supposed to say something about Erin that we are thankful for or that we will always remember. Well if any of you know me very well I hate being put on the spot, and I am such a baby. I cry over everything. So any way, I didn't want you people out there to think that I didn't have any memories or experiences of Erin that I could share so here we go.

When Erin was new in the ward I was assigned to be her visiting teacher. I cant remember exactly what the lesson was on. It had something to do with temple work. It was my turn to do the lesson. Well I didn't feel like I was the best person to give the lesson because Greg and I had not been through the temple yet. I started to cry when telling her that we had made that goal and were trying to get there. She was so kind and said that it was worth working toward. That it would bring us happiness. She always knows what to say to make you feel good about your self. We were than put into the relief society presidency together. She would ask me if we were still working to get to the temple. I would say yes. I was so excited to finally get there and have her attend our sealing. I Want to thank her for always being a great friend . She is so fun to be around. She makes you feel like laughing all of the time. I have had some many fun memories With her. We will keep having good memories together. She is just a couple of miles away and our friendship will last forever. Thank you Erin for always being there for me. You are the greatest kind of friend. The ward will miss your family very much. We will be seeing you around.

Kates rolling over

Kate is 14 weeks old and has hit another mile stone. She is rolling over! Of course she hates to be on her tummy so she learned backwards. Usually they learn to roll from there tummy to there back first but she did the opposite. She is already getting mobile. They get big way to fast.

Kate is getting so big. She is getting to have quite the personality. She is smiling and talking all the time now. She is thriving and is perfectly healthy. We just had her two month check-up. She is in the 90% for her height and 50% for her weight. She was not happy about the shots she had to have but she forgave me really quickly. They get so big so fast. She will be 11 weeks at the end of this week. How time flys.

They switched him to early bird school this year so it shoould be interesting to see how long he enjoys getting up early. His first day of school was yesterday and he loved it. He says he really likes his teacher. These pictures are of Paiden waiting for the bus on the second day of school.
