Lexi and Quinns Birthday Party

Lexi and Quinn ( her best friend) had a combined birthday party this year. Quinn's birthday is on Halloween so they are just a week apart. We invited a few of the neighbor kids. It was fun. They painted pumpkins, ate pizza, played pin the tale on the donkey, had cupcakes and opened presents. They are so cute!
LOL.. awww!! I think she likes him?!?! :)

Happy 3rd Birthday Lexi!!

We had a little family birthday party for Lexi. We just opened presents and ate cake. It was fun especially fun to have Justin, Ashley, Zach and Kate there while they live so close.

My new hobby...

So, who would have thought i would enjoy quilting?!?! My mom came out back in June and got me into it. This is my first quilt. I'm thinking about starting a business doing crib bedding and children's bedding.. just a thought right now but maybe in the future. I have a few other quilts i need to get machine quilted so i'll post them when they are all done.

This quilt lexi picked out all the fabric and i hand quilted it.

A few updated pictures

I haven't put up many recent pictures of me or the kids in awhile, so i thought i would post a few.. nothing to really blog about but hope you enjoy the cute pictures of Lexi and Porter!

GOOD NEWS!!!!

We got the okay to take Porter off of oxygen on Tuesday!!! WOO HOO! We had a little bit of a scare though. Porters low heart rate kept going off for about 5days in a row at night for about a half hour to an hour. I called the doctor and they wanted to see him. I took him in and they said everything sounded fine etc. So they switched out the machine thinking maybe it was that, it still went off. I called the doctor and they sent me straight to timpanogos hospital for a chest xray and an EKG. They also had Praxair come and lower the low heart rate from 80 to 60 now. A few days later we got the results back from the hospital and the chest xray came back normal but the EKG came back abnormal. We were sent to primary children's up in SLC. We got the okay for porter to come off oxygen as long as the cardiologist said it was okay. So on Tuesday we went to meet with the cardiologist, they did another EKG.. the doctor came in and said everything looked normal. He can come off oxygen, but they sent us home with a 24 hour EKG just to be safe. We will find out the results for the in the next few weeks. Wish us luck!!

July 4, 2009

Fourth of July was fun this year. We had a BBQ at our house with Brandon and Justins family. It was fun for all of us to get together since its been quite awhile. Lexi loved playing with her cousins.

Lexi and Zach were scared of the fireworks at first, so Zach wore earphones to drown out the noise and Lexi was brave but only with her sunglasses on!

My cake I made.

Porters Blessing

My lil handsome man! We took him off oxygen for his blessing.

We had to take him off to do an overnight test anyways so it worked out perfect.

My parents were able to come out and stay with us for a week, we really enjoyed having them here and as always were sad to see them leave. Lexi chased my parents car as they were leaving. How sad! You guys need to move closer!! We miss you!!

My two peanuts, they are soo stinkin cute :)

We had porters baby blessing June 18th. Since he is still on oxygen and we are advised not to go to church with him we decided to have it at our house as we did Lexi's. It worked out great with just close family and the bishop. We had desserts after words. Paul did a great job hes such a great daddy and wonderful husband. I'm so grateful to have a worthy husband who can bless our children. Porter looked so adorable in his lil suit. I can't complain at all about Porter he has been an amazing baby. He's soo sweet and cuddly. He LOVES Lexi and she loves him just as much. Whenever he is crying if Lexi comes and talks to him he stops and smiles .. its precious. I'm so blessed to have such a wonderful lil family!
