Easter!!

This Easter was a really busy one but I like it. Since I am home all the time its nice to get out and spend time with the family. Once the boys woke up they saw their baskets and they both went after separate things. Brody went straight for the candy and Rocky was looking for his car but he didn't get a car this year.

And then after they saw their baskets they went outside and looked for the eggs that the easter bunny left. This was the first year that we hid the eggs outside because we never had our own yard before so it was nice. Brody wasn't interest in finding the eggs all he wanted to do was run around. Maybe next year he will be more interest. Rocky is at the age where he understands that the easter bunny leaves him eggs and gifts but when it comes to him in person he gets terrified and wants nothing to do with him. He is one strange kid. After that we went to the park with my family and looked for eggs there and had lunch and then after that we went to Chris' parents' house and found eggs there and had lunch/dinner so it was a busy day. In the end both boys had a blast and got lots of eggs. I even had fun watching the boys enjoy themselves.

Update on Brody

First of all I want to thank everyone that was so concerned for him. It really scared us and we don't want to go through that again. He is doing really well. He is back to his original self and I couldn't be any happier. His fever stayed down and didn't go up since Sunday. He did really well on his antibiotics and he is practically done with that. His cough is all the way gone. I am so thankful that he is doing so well. I believe that there was an angel watching him that day because I don't know what would happen if we weren't there at that moment. I love him to death and I couldn't imagine my life without him. I am looking forward to more happy and healthy days with him! He is going to be around for a long long long time!!!

A scary situation

Yesterday was a very scary day for us. Brody was having a fever off and on all day yesterday and I was trying to figure out why he was having a fever in the first place. I gave him medicine around 4 o clock last night and it did nothing to him but made him drowsy. He went for a nap after that and then was still feeling hot after that. Chris came home from work and I gave Brody a luke warm bath around 7 o clock because that is what you are suppose to do when they have a fever. We put him down for bed at 8 o clock and around 9 he woke up screaming like he was in pain, I have never heard this sound out of him before. He was burning up! We decided to take him to the ER and I am so thankful we did that. At first I wanted to take him to insta care but the one that was close to us was the one in Syracuse. I really didn't want to go back to the ER because I had such a bad experience before but this was necessary. We got there and they took his temperature and it was at 102.6 so his temperature went up a few degrees within minutes. They took us to a separte room so we could wait for the doctor to come in and they gave us a gown to put him in and when Chris was getting him undress what we saw frighten us and we will never forget it.

While Chris was getting him undressed Brody eyes started to roll into the back of his head and we didn't know what was going on. He stopped crying and everything. The nurse comes in and quickly takes him out of my arms and puts him in a different room and starts putting monitors on him. Since his temperature went up so quickly he went into Febrile Seizure, it doesn't mean he will have seizures the rest of his life it just happens to some children when their fever goes up quickly like that. It scared the hell out of me and Chris. There was nothing more that we could do except step back and let the doctors and nurses work on him. I felt so helpless at that moment. That has never happened to us before so we didn't know what to do or even what to think. They got him stabled and he started to breath and cry and that was a good sign. Even though it was only for a few minutes that he was having a seizure it felt like forever. They said while they have a seizure they don't know who we are and where they are at so when they are coming out of it they start crying again because they are confused. I am very thankful for all the doctors and nurses that worked on him, they were very generous and I couldn't asked for a better team.

They took his urine and blood and gave him an X ray to see all the possible options on why he was running such a high fever in the first place. His urine and blood came back normal and on his X ray they didn't see any infections but they saw a little bit of Bronchitis on his chest, nothing big, just a mild case of it. No wonder he has been coughing for the past few days, poor little guy, I couldn't imagine what he was going through last night. Overall he is doing well, his fever went down and he is a little bit wobbly from last night but he is doing good. He just has to stay on the medicine that they gave him for the next 4 days or until its gone to keep the fever down. I want to thank Trena for taking Rocky last night so we could concentrate on Brody. I also want to thank the doctors and nurses again for doing the best for my little guy. I am thankful for a lot of things right now in life!

Brody's 15 month check up

First of all I can't believe he is already 15 months old. He grew up too fast! Today was his 15 month check up. He is 23 pounds in the 30% and 30.25 inches long in the 26%. He is walking really well and I am very proud of him. He also got one shot! He seems to be doing very well with it. Next time it will be his 18 month check up and since Rocky will be 5 around that same time we are going to do their checkups the same day. We have never done it like that before so it will be a new experience for all of us.

DISNEY ON ICE!!!

We all went to Disney on Ice for the first time! We all had a wonderful time together. It was me, Chris, Rocky, Brody, my mom, Chris' mom, Trena, Shane, Aaron, Trena's mother in law and Sister in law. We got a good price for open night. Buy one ticket get one free. It was Mickey and Minnie and all their friends hosting the show of course and Little Mermaid, Cars, Tinkerbell, and The Lion King. The Lion King is my favorite Disney movie and The Cars is Rocky's favorite. The boys were so well behave and Brody was so into it. If you want to see more pictures look on my myspace profile or Facebook.

Rocky with his Lighten McQueen that he got at the show!

We went to Chuck a Rama to eat before we headed down there so all in all it was a great night with the family! I still want to know how they got the Cars to move on the Ice that was pretty impressive.

6 Wonderful Years together and more to come!

Me and Chris have been married for 6 years as of today. We got introduce in December of 2002 from our friend Teala. He was actually going for her but she was interest so she thought we would be perfect for each other. I was just getting out of a relationship so I wasn't really looking for anyone. At first I wasn't expecting anything but friendship from him but just everything felt right. It felt like we have known each other all of our lives. Everything just came natural and we had a lot in common so that was a plus. We are like two peas in the pods. He is my better half and I wouldn't know what I would do without him. We got engaged the day after my high graduation in June 2003 and got married on Valentine's day 2004. It was such a beautiful wedding. We got married at the Egyptian Theater in Ogden because my brother worked that at the time as a chef and we got a great deal on the room and the food. I remember we got one of them free but I don't remember which one. We had a big wedding party, 5 bridemaids and 5 groomsmen. He is my everything, I fall in love with him more and more everyday!For our Anniversary we went and saw Valentine' day and that was such a cute movie and we went to Garcia's for dinner. It couldn't of been a better day! Chris spoiled me for Valentine's this year he got me 2 shirts, A necklace and earrings set that I am wearing today, another necklace, new mats and a shower curtain for our bathroom because we didn't have any of that and a Cooking Mama game and flowers. He is a hard working man, he works so hard to provide for his family and support us, he is my rock when things go tough. I couldn't ask for a better husband and father. The one thing that will stick for me for the rest of my life is the day I fell in love with him. I remember it was a couple of days before High school graduation and I wasn't feeling good I had a really bad headache and we were hanging out that day. He took me home early and help me into the tub and waited until I was done (in the living room) so I didn't fall out of the tub and then he helped me into bed and made sure I was ok and everything before I went to bed and before he went home. That day I realized that I wanted to spend the rest of my life with this man because he takes very good care of me and he always will! I will never forget that day! We have two wonderful little boys 6 years later to show for it and they are my life. The latest new I would love to share with everyone is we are going to renew our vows in 2014 on our 10th year anniversary. I can't wait for more wonderful years to come! I love you hunny from the bottom of my heart!!!

Choose your friends wisely!!!

Does anyone have a friend that keeps making excuses for not staying in touch? Well I used to have one of those friends. I am going to used her real name in this blog because its my blog and I have the right. My adrenaline is running so bad right now that I feel the urge to write. My old friend Tasha and I used to be best friends growing up. When she moved away we grew apart. The only way we stayed in touch was through myspace or on the phone but most of the time that wasn't enough. Me and her got pregnant the same time I did with Brody and her with her first. She would always say I was her best friend and that we will always keep in touch but I was a fool to believe that. After I went to her baby shower we agreed that we would tell each other when we had our babies. She didn't tell and I had to find out by calling several different hospitals. All the time she would tell me excuses about why she didn't tell me this or include me into this and time after time I forgave her and let her back into my life. But this one special event that happened in her life drew me to the edge. She would never answer her calls when I call so I kinda got the feeling that she was ignoring me. Does anyone else get that feeling sometimes? And most of the time anyways her phone would be off so I would not know how she was doing. The last time she talked to me was a year ago after her daughter was born she told me that she was pregnant again. Did I find out when she had that one? NO! And listen I am suppose to be her best friend. I decided to delete her off my friends list a long time ago because she was never on and plus I was done but I still thought about her because its only natural. Then today I went onto her profile and found out that she got married. I was soo pissed! I don't even know when she got married. She didn't even tell me and I remembered long ago that I was going to be her bridesmaid. Whatever happened to that? Well I am done! Its not even worth it. I am tired of the excuses, I am tired of being worried about her and wondering what is going on in her life, I am tired of not being part of her life anymore like I used to. Heck her mom used to treat me like one of her own. That is why I don't have a best friend anymore because of people like that. Fuck people like that! You call yourself so call friends, yeah right! I got my close friends and family and that is all that I need. I know NOW who is my friends and who isn't. And if no one wants me around than I am not going to stick around. Please tell someone that you don't want to be their friend anymore, just don't leave them hanging because that is just so wrong. And if no one wants me as friend than that is their lost not mine. I tried and tried and tried and I am done trying. Its so exhausting that I can't even count the times I try to make contact and got nowhere.
