Girls playing chase

Kadence is going to be such a good mommy. She feeds her fur reals bear when it whins and rocks it and sings to it. She also loves her groovy girls doll and takes her everywhere.

The girls are really starting to play well with each other. Kadence was on the floor with Kymbell crawling around with her. Kymbell starting chasing after her and cornered her behind the chair. Kymbell definitely says hi and waves at people when they talk to her.


Here is little Konner always ready to pose for the camera.

I guess it had to happen some time!

Well Konner got out of bed Tuesday morning with blood coming out of his ear. I assumed it was a busted eardrum. We went to the doctor that morning and it was both eardrums. Lucky me Kyle was at work so I took the girls and Konner with me. Thank goodness Grey was in school. Well another lucky me the girls happen to have a yucky cough and decided to cough in front of the doctor. He wanted to take a look at them b/c they didn't sound very good and knew I would be back in a couple of days with them. Needless to say I have 3 children with ear infection. Konner is on augmentin and ciprodex for his ears. Kadence is on omnicef, orapred, and ciprodex for her ears. Kymbell is on nasty stuff called biaxin both girls also have breathing treatments. I am lucky to have such a great doctor he let me choose what medicine I wanted the kids on except for Kymbell b/c biaxin is the best if you can get your child to take it. If it doesn't work we will get tubes. So I guess it was going to happen that I have 3 sick children at one time. I know my chances are increased to have a sick all the time, but not three at once.

MOHAWK # 2

So Konner decided he wanted a Mohawk just like Greyson. That is easier said than done. 1ST Konner won't sit still 2ND he won't sit still and 3rd he has not had his hair longer than 1/8 of inch since he was 2 1/2 years old. So we let it grow out for a couple of weeks to see what would happen. Kyle shaved it last night and we thought it would look like crap b/c his hair is very coarse and stands straight up on it's own. Well I fixed it this morning and to my surprise it is very cute on him. We call it the baby Mohawk.

FOUND!!!!!!
Nala went missing on Wednesday night and today a guy called and said he had her. Yeah!!!! He lives a few houses away from us and he came to see if it was his cat that was missing. It was cold, windy and rainy that night so he took her home with him feed and took care of her. He had her scanned for a microchip, but no luck b/c I had not put one in her. We will be going to get that done ASAP!!! The animal shelter will put the cat down after three days in the shelter if not claimed or adopted. Thanks to my neighbor for taking such great care of her and giving her back to me.

Crazy Weather/ Missing

It's crazy around here 2 days ago we had 107 degree weather and today it's rainy and 65 degrees. Three of the kids have yucky coughs and are sneezing b/c of this change I think. I'm not complaining about the rain I love it b/c it never rains here, but the tempature drop stinks b/c it has been so warm here for at least 2 1/2 months now that it's a shock.

Missing cat have you seen her?
Well my cat has a strick indoors only policy b/c she is wasn't cheap, we live in the city and she has been declawed. Now recently she has wanted to go outside to be with the dogs and sometimes we let her sit on the front porch when the door is open. I guess she got out the front door and I didn't see her and I didn't have the door open b/c it was 107 that day and the air was on. So needless to say my cat Nala is missing. Now my cat is too chicken to get off the porch so somebody in my neighborhood had to have taken her. I made up signs to put on our shared mailboxes. On the signs I put that her 4 children owners are very sad and would like to have her back, but if she was taken they probably don't care if my kids are sad or not. Kadence is the most concerned about where her Nala is b/c she has asked for her and has searched the house over for her maybe after a few days of this she will quit doing that.( it's very sad)

The Future of the Fire Service...


These are just some pictures playing dress up in a set of daddy's bunker gear. The boys loved it, but the girls not so much. Well Kymbell didn't mind b/c she likes to take pictures and after Kadence saw the boys dress up she was all about it.

DISNEYLAND HERE WE COME.


We told the kids the other day that we are going to Disneyland in a few weeks. That might have been a mistake b/c that is all I hear about now. Kyle is running in a 10k run in San Diego on the 14th of June. The run is only a hour away from Disneyland so we are hopefully going to get a two day pass a go on Friday the 13th and on father's day the 15th. We won't be attending the race b/c kids are not allowed on the course so we wouldn't even get to watch him run at all. We are going to hang out at the pool while he is doing his thing.

My Little Patriot!!!


This is my little patriot with his award. He had to learn the star spangled banner and the pledge of allegiance then he recited it in front of his class and teacher. I am so proud of him for doing it on his own w/o my nagging him to learn it.

mohawk. Kyle of course says ok. So we went outside
a I cut his hair a gave him his mohawk.

Must just be a bug.

Kymbell and I went to the Dr. again for the third time this week already. He told us her c diff was normal and that her rotavirus came back negative. Yeah!! We are still waiting on some cultures to come back, but we are pretty sure that is was just a nasty bug. She still is vomiting and having diarrhea, but she is doing so good and gaining weight through being sick. Kymbell had lost down to 16.6 when she first got sick a month ago. We weighed her Monday and she was 17.8 Tuesday she was 17.10 and today she was 17.11 almost back to her start weight of 17.12.


We are still having to go back to the Dr the next two days for her ears. She has to get a set of rossifin shots to try and clear them up. Vaccination shots are bad, but rossifin is a very thick medicine. He said we only had a few more days to make them 100% or she is going to see Kadence's ENT that put her tubes in a few months ago.


On a good note Kymbell has learned to crawl, pull up to stuff and stand for awhile. She goes from crawling to a sitting up position. Oh, and people have been claiming when they talk to her she says hi. I really don't know if that is what she is saying. Dad wins the prize b/c she definitely say da-da. She spots him in the room and says it over and over again.

We are so ready for school to be out and we can all start camping this summer. We also have a trip to Disneyland for a couple of days. We get back from that and my mom is coming for almost 2 weeks. I am so excited!!!!!

Sick again...

OK, so I counted the times we have been to the DR. in the month it was like 14 times. We really like our DR, but not that much. Kymbell has had a ear infection this whole time rotavirus and upper respiratory infection plus bronchitis. I got up to get her bottle mother's day morning as usual. I was feeding her it and she really wasn't interested in it so I stopped feeding here. A few second later she starting puking. It was awful. It was all over my bed, on me and she completely missed herself. She has major diarrhea to go with it. So I took her back to the DR. today and we think it is the rotavirus again. He is running some tests on her to make sure it isn't something more serious like c. diff or something like that. Can anyone say stool sample. That is not a pleasant thing to do at all.We go back to the wonderful DR. again tomorrow to find out the results. Then we talk about the treatment of the ear infection 2 more weeks of it and we are sure to get sent to the ENT for tubes. Happy belated Mother's Day to everyone.

A Wonderful Day at the Park!

We had a wonderful sunny morning so we went to the park to hangout with the kids.


They enjoyed riding their bikes and playing on all play equipment that they have there.

Just some pics of the kids..

Greyson just being Grey. Posing for the camera.
Konner acting like his goofy daddy.
Kadence and Konner doing what they always do fight over Kymbell. They both kinda claim her as their own.
This is Greyson before he went to his play. It was 50's related. They had to have slicked back hair white t-shirts with jeans that were rolled up.They did stuff like the hand jive/ rockin robin/see you later alligator/rock around the clock/ and at the hop. It was very funny.




Kadence thinking is such a big Girl on the big girl swing. Then there is Kadence and Kymbell showing how much they enjoy each others company even in the bathtub. Kymbell loves taking a bath with Kadence she shares her toys and helps me wash her.
















The dr. left it up to me when to stop the up draft treatments. He said as soon as it becomes a dry cough I can stop. We got up today and she sounded great to me so I gave her one more this morning and I think that will be it. Of course I'll let Kyle listen to her when he gets home, but I think she is doing great.

YEAH!!!

All I can say is YEAH. We went to the Doctor this morning and he said her chest sounded so much better and no x-ray was needed. She has to be on the albuterol for a few more days along with the steroid, but that is so much better than the other way it could have went. She had to have another shot of rossefin today and then she starts an antibiotic tomorrow to try to clear the rest of the ear infection up. We are in hopes that it will and she will have no more ear infections thus no more talking about tubes.
