Siri got a hair cut

We went up for baby Navy's blessing and while we were there we chopped Siri's hair!

I was so over trying to do her hair and it was kind of getting a little stingy at the ends. This was her first hair cut. We called up Shelbies awesome sister in law Cami and we headed over to her house at like 11 pm! 

Siri was so still on the chair I think its because she was beyond tired. When it came time to blow dry she fell asleep! Now that its short I LOVE it and cant imagine at this point in time growing it out. 

 When I was looking for a before photo because of course I forgot to take one! I had to go clear back to Christmas to find a photo of her hair down. I pulled it back everyday I should have realized just looking through photos that short hair would be the way to go!

Harrison 8 Months

Harrison you turned 8 months in March and I did snap some pictures while we were cooped up at home. 

Harrison you were crawling all over the place. I let you play naked in the mornings and as soon as I take that diaper off you flip yourself over and start your getaway.  Your life at this point consisted of eating more and more solids and keeping up with Siri and Chamberlain. You followed them all throughout the house just a happy little camper as long as you could be near all the action and most of the time center of attention. You love to climb all over the red striped rocking chair and choose that one over the pink rocking chair every time.

You are one determined little boy. I feel you have are more outgoing at an earlier age than Siri and Chamberlain. It seems you have no fear. 

Really you are happy all the time and sleep well. 

You have been such a joy and blessing. 

Where did the month of March go?

Its been too long since I last updated so I decided to do a monthly update to catch up for my own records and when I make these into blog books. 

How about one more picture of the team from Chamberlains first official basketball season. Oh and I think the coach is a handsome one. 

March.

 Where did this  month go?! Oh yes it was spent in the hospital and in Dr. Offices with 2 very sick kids. If we weren't at the hospital or Dr.'s Office we were home away from everyone stuck on the couch watching too much Disney Channel and Movies because the younger two were again too sick to do anything but lay around. 

I think I would chalk this month as one of the scariest as a parent praying like crazy for your child to breath on their own.  Not having to fly to Primary Children's was definitely an answer to prays and a highlight of the month.  

Both Siri and Harrison had Bronchitis. Siri also had RSV and Pneumonia as well thus being her stay in the hospital.  Harrison was a champ and only had to see the Dr. a couple of times and was able to get better on his own. Siri caught us by surprise. She was perfectly healthy one day and the next day (Josh's Birthday to be exact) was super weak that we ended up taking her to the ER. They sent us home after her oxygen levels went up. However, we ended up in the hospital within 24hrs and stayed there for the rest of the week. At one point during the first night they were going to fly her to Primary Children's Hospital but lots of prayers and a few hours of waiting her oxygen levels started to rise enough to keep her in St.George close to us. That would have been extremely hard for me to deal with since I was at the time still nursing Harrison and he was sick and to have to travel up north it would have not been easy.  I am grateful for all the prayers that were offered in our behalf. I feel extremely blessed that she was able to stay in St.George and more blessed that my mom was able to drop everything and come stay and entertain Chamberlain and Harrison at home. Which let me be with her all day and then home in the evenings for Harrison. She brought Harrison to and from the hospital and I would nurse him in the car in the parking lot and she would got sit with Siri and Josh. We feel so blessed to live here close to them. 

She recovered but it took all month and into April. We did nothing but stay home for the most part.

Josh literally spent every minute with her in the hospital. I called him home from work to take her to the ER while I stayed with the other kid.   He never left except one day to come home and shower. He was her constant with new nurses and new Dr.'s coming in to check on her take her vitals and oxygen levels she was confused and the drugs they had on her made her angry and crazy. She stuck to him like glue and for the first time in her short life she didn't want her Mama. I think they bonded in that week and have had the cutest relationship ever since. In away I'm grateful for that time they got to spend together just the two of them. 

As I look back through photos I noticed that we did, before the hospital stint, make it to see the water rising in the new reservoir in Kanab. What a fun time that will be when its full and we can canoe and fish!
