NOw Both My MUNCHKINS Are SICK

I'm so bummed about both our boys being sick right before we leave for vacation. First Ashton got sick on Friday then on Sunday i noticed Brody was beginning to also get a little sick. I wanted them to be able to enjoy themselves and not have to be nebulized every few hours while on vacation. We took them to the doctor yesterday and of course both their oxygen levels are a little low as I had expected. They gave us another nebulizer lots of albuterol for both boys and steroids for Ashton because he is a little worse then Brody. Ive noticed sometimes Brody sounds better but only sometimes so i decided to give him steroids as well hoping they will both recover quickly. When i took Ashton to the ER on Saturday the doctor gave him an inhaler and told me it worked just as good as the nebulizer. The first thought that crossed my mind was there is no way he is old enough to understand to suck in and inhale. But the doctor reassured me it would work and i didnt need a nebulizer. And of course it didnt work he wouldn't suck in and didn't understand. When i took them back in to there normal doctor office for a follow up Ashton was already sicker and now Brody was also sick. I told them what they gave me at the ER and they to were like he isnt old enough to use that. I knew i should followed my instinct but doctors think they know best. Even though to me mommies know best for there children and in this matter i did know best. If i would of demanded that he gave me a nebulizer out babies might of never gotten worse.... Next time i will follow my heart and make sure they give them the proper medication. We are leaving tonight and I'm so worried about my babies....NOt to mention it is suppose to rain all week down in Oregon so that's going to make it more difficult for them to fight this sickness. I hope to god they done get any sicker and we are able to enjoy our trip.

Two days ago i called Avtec a college i recently applied for to get my CNA certification and was told i got accepted. I will be starting classes in early April and am so grateful. It's the beginning of a wonderful future for my family and i am truly blessed. This is the beginning of the rest of my life and i cant wait to finally take the next step in my future.

POOR ASHTON SICK RIGHT BEFORE VACATION! :(

OUr poor baby boy Ashton started getting sick on Friday the 19th. At first he was coughing so hard he kept vomiting after meals, then he started running a temp a couple hours before bedtime. I hate with our little men get sick but mostly when we have somewhere to go and i cant keep them inside till they get 100% better. So grateful Brody isn't sick yet and pray he doesnt catch what his brother has. Friday i made the boys an appt to see there doctor for Tuesday before we leave and I also made nick and I an appt to get the flu shot. But Saturday Ashton was still sick if not a little worse with out the vomiting, all day we just gave him pedilite and tons of love. At 5:30pm i decided to take him in to the emergency room cuz i would rather be safe then sorry and I hate seeing my baby unhappy. But for the most part he was still happy just a little less active and still had a cough and temp. I took him in and he tripped out when ever the nurses or doctor wanted to touch him. He was so pissed about it and made sure they new he was. The doctor said he had a little lung infection, he gave him some steroids at the hospital and an inhaler for our trip. It actually didnt take as long as i had expected it would so that was very nice. I hate being at the hospital for hours when the doctor only comes in for maybe 3 minutes and then diagnoses them. I'm still taking the boys to their doctor on Tuesday just to make sure nothing else is going on with either of them. HOpe my little man gets batter very soon so he can have a good vacation with the fam bam! CAN'T WAIT :)


ASHTON talking to my MOM on the PHONE!!!! Telling him she loves, she hopes he gets better soon, and goodnight!

Everything is Coming together!

These last few months I've been extremely busy but glad to say it's all coming together. We leave for our family vacation in 8 days and we cant wait. I'm nervous about staying at other peoples houses but excited at the same time to get away. I finished the boys digital scrap books yesterday and am so freaking happy they are complete. That was the one thing i wanted to get done before we left. Also today I'm picking up the boys birthday invitations and am passing them out in the next few days. Not to mention i also have a portrait party to plan before we leave. But i have hope ill get it all done before leaving. I haven't had much time to blog about the boys but when we get back from California i will start making more time for my blogging.

Our boys have been being little rug rats and lately they have been in time out every 5 minutes. It's hard staying on top of disciplining them but we've notice they tend to act out more in our home. Maybe cuz they know they get away with more but we need to get to the bottom of it now. They love climbing on the chairs and tables and refuse to stop! Yesterday they climbed up on the table and counters at least 15 times each.

My brother Ryan came to visit and right away the boys fell in love with him, they had an unbreakable bond.. Every time he wasn't around they would look for him and say "UNCLE UNCLE" when he left to go back to Oregon, the boys weren't at all happy about it. I tried explaining to them that he went bye bye but then they wanted to go bye bye to. They are two of a kind with such unique personalities. I told the boys we would see uncle very soon when we fly down to the states in an airplane. Then they pointed outside and said "Vroom Vroom" TO CUTE! :)

Fun WINTER days & nights!

My big brother Ryan come up to visit us for a couple weeks and I'm so stoked. My brother, his long time friend Kevin and I all went snowboarding today and had a freaking blast. I managed to keep up with the boys the hole time which felt great, except now my body is extremely sore and tense. It was awesome flying down the mountain even though i ate it hard a couple times but never gave up just shook it off and kept moving. After we were finished riding we had dinner at our parents house. We met nick and the boys over there after boarding and ate a delicious meal all together.

After dinner i thought it might be fun for the boys to wrap them up in warm clothes, take them outside and let them ride their Harleys in the street. And i was right they were loving it and refused to go inside. It was so windy outside the snow was blowing left and right but the last thing on the boys mind was the weather. They were having such a good time driving their harleys around. After about 45 minutes we decided to take them inside to avoid them getting sick even though they were layered in lots of clothing. They freaked out for taking them in and Brody threw a fit for at least 30 minutes straight. He would not stop crying and kept pointing outside. We even brought the harleys upstairs for them to ride but they were determined to go back outside. After listening to them both wine over and over we decided to take them back out for a little longer. This time they road all the way down to the mailbox and back. As soon as we got back to the drive way we loaded them into the car instead of bringing them back inside. They had a wonderful time and were both tired from all the riding. IT was an awesome day full of snowy adventures!

Little MONSTERS!!!! :)

Our little monsters are full of so much energy and love making mommy and daddy chase after there every move. This week Ashton pooped in his toilet twice my little boy is doing so well. They both love to use the potty but it almost seems like a game to them some times. After they use it and i take them off they freak out because they want to just sit on them. A few times they stuck their hands down in the toilet touching their pee. So nasty but i still think they dont quite understand their toilets aren't one of their toys! We got ones that sing when they pee but i turned them off because the boys kept turning them upside down and would push the button to make them sing. Lately Ashton has been saying "thank you momma" its so freaking cute i absolutely love it whenever he says that to me. He also says it to his daddy here and there. They have been being little monsters this last month or so and its been driving me crazy. They are still biting each other at least once a day and they smack who ever they feel like. I have to say i am so extremely busy trying to keep them calm and entertained. They are wild children and dont like to listen to me or their dad. They are so good for every one else if we aren't around but if we are they tend to act out. I have a feeling it has alot to do with them not being on a schedule like they use to, we are trying to get them back on one as quickly as possible. Life has been very hectic these last couple of months so we are trying very hard to get everything in order.


We leave for vacation to Oregon and California on the 25th of February and are so freaking excited. We will be gone a total of 18 days we cant wait to finally get a break away from work and every thing else. Im so excited to take the boys to see all of our family i can hardly wait.
