Ely

Ely was kind of nervous doing this. Now that I learned how to do this I will get more videos of my kids. Cooper isn't the shy one she will be so easy to make movies. Hope you enjoy.

Another day of bad luck.

Life has been pretty crazy lately. Its been such a roller coaster since I have been sick. I have been dealing with this sickness for about 4 months now and now that I can finally get back to work another shot of bad luck hits us. I ended up having to take Cooper into the doctor on June 30th because he was running a temp and it was not going down at all. So when Mitch Poppens saw him he diagnosed him with a handfull of stuff. He has Strep throat, chicken pox, and Emphentygo. They are all very contagious so we have been stuck at home. Now that he has been on the medication for over twenty four hours we are able to finally go hang out with people.

It was to back he couldnt go to Julia's birthday party last night. Daddy stayed home with him so that we wouldnt spread the germs around to everybody else. It is to bad that uncle kyle so be over there either. He was really bummed. He wanted to pick on her like he always does. He is pretty proud of his neice and nephews.

I hope that you all have a very safe 4th of July and becareful. Hope everybody keeps their finders on and dont hurt anybody. We are going to the in-laws for the 4th. It will be fun. We are taking off right when Kyle gets home from work because we are going to shoot off fireworks. They baught like 400 dollars worth of stuff for the boys. I have some pics of Ely last year doing smoke balls and sparklers. They are cute. I will get lots of pictures. Love you all very much. So be careful.

Hey I am alive!!!

Well hello to all who have actually been checking this to see if i have written anything...Well suprise!!!! I am writing again for once. I have a lot to update since i have been on last. Well in the past three months I have been dealing with a lot of female problems. Yes, I am talking about that lovely monthly friend that we all hate. Well I have been having a lot of pain with it and having it abnormal since then. Well I have been going back and forth to the doctor's here in Madison then the doctors sent me to sioux falls to see an OBGYN there and she said we should try the depo Prevera shot to try to regulate me and that didnt work. So then we ended up doing a procedure that is called Endometrio Ablation which means in our words going inside my utuerus and putting some kind of chemical in there and then putting a burst of electricity inside and burning my uturus wall. Yes you all are probably say OUCH! Yes, you are all correct. That did hurt but i have some even better news...that didn't work eiether. I still had the pain, i still had the bleeding and nothing was seeming to work at all. NOT COOL! So i went backto the doctor and and she was confused. She called me her mystery patient. We could not figure out what was wrong with me. Beings this stuff runs in my family she braught up the option of a hysterectomy which neither of us really wanted to do but we had pretty much run out of options. She then decieded that this was the only routhe we had left we to go ahead and do the hysterectomy. I was the first 23 year old that she has ever done one on so i guess i can say i feel special...lol NOT!. I am feelilng much better now going into four weeks after the surgery i am feeling a little better. I am still have a bleeding due to the stiches and the healing process and some cramping. I went to the doctor on the 10th of June and of course she had to poke and prod around on my tummy and inside to make sure everything was healing properly and it looks good but ever since the check up i am bleeding much more and having tons more pain.
Then boys are doing great my youngest cooper just turned two years old on June 10th. WOW! how time flies. I can't believe how old he is and how big he is. Ely is getting really big to he wasnt to start school he always tells me. " Mommy I a big boy now and i want to ride the bus for school." he is such a big boy. It is so hard knowing that he can start school this coming year. WOW! that is all I can say.
We did end up getting another memeber of the family. Our Dog Carmen had a litter of pups and we ended up keeping one. His name is Ranger. (Ely named him) He is a golden lab and is very well minded and is cute as heck. Well there is the update hope you all keep in touch. Thanks for the patients with me.

Update

Yes, i know i havent been on in awhile..It has been pretty busy around here lately..Between the boys and Kyle and I getting sick and everything else that is going on we have been pretty busy. Between the doctors and going back and forth from Sioux Falls for Ely's appointments everything has been ok i guess.. This week Cooper had that Influenza A and Bronchitis and Ely had the start if it. We got it taken care of right away..Now hopefully I won't have to miss anymore work. It is killing our paychecks since we have both been home either sick or with the kids. The boys seem to be getting better as are Kyle and I. We should be ok. Also that we have all lost our overtime that hurts everybody..Not just our family. My boss said that we are heading into our busy season so hopefully it does pick up soon so that i can start bring home more money and put in more hours that Kyle...(LOL he hates that) Oh well i feel that I owe it to him beings that he took care of me when I didn't work when we lived back west... He is such a great guy who loves his family and will do whatever he can for us...Thank you all for your help and support thru all my past.. I love you all very much. Especially you Barb. You have done some wonderful things to. And DAD? Your amazing. The things that us kids have put you thru, WOW! you are a very tough man. I love you with all my heart. Mom, Your great. You have always been there to listen. Thanks a million. Just all of you...thanks for being there for me.

Elys appointment

Well yet again we got bad news. Ely had an hearing test at 9:30 and he checkup at 10:00am. His hearing test came back perfect but the check up wasnt the greatest news. They had the results from his allergy test and that was the worst news. Ely has just about every allergy that you can possible think of. Anything from certain grasses, thissles, mold, dust mites, cats to cows milk and wheat. It was heart breaking. So they put him on the nasal spray called Nasonex. He has to has this twice a day for who knows how long. The doctor told me that if we keep up with everything well hopefully all of his allergies should be gone by the time he turns 7. I just feel terrible since I couldnt do anything to really prevent them. I just feel like it is my fault since I couldnt prevent him from getting all of this crap. Well all I know is that we are trying to get him back on track and all healthy again. I am just going to have to keep an eye on him that much more. Thats just what mothers and fathers are for. Thanks for letting me vent on here. It makes me feel better.

Yet another day

Wow! it is a wonderful day today. Another warm day in store. Its about time we are finally getting our warm weather. We had a pretty good day yesterday and it was a late night for us. It is going to be a short post cuz i am about ready for a nap. The boys are both doing good growing like weeds. Cooper on the other hand been being really arnry..Whatever he can get into, He will. Weather its when we are looking or when we arent. He is a sneeky little man. Ely seems to be getting sick again. I think he is getting bronchitis again. I am hopeing not. He goes back to the docotor tomarrow for a post op check up after his surgery 3 weeks ago. He is all better from that thank goodness. His ears seems to be doing much better..He hasnt been complianing of them hurting anyways which is a good thing to. Well I am going to call it a day. Hope you all have a good and warm Sunday.

What a wonderful day

What a beautiful day out and I cant want to get outside and play with kids in the snow. It is just way to nice to be stuck inside the house today. The whole weekend is supposed to be nice along with next week. I am hoping that spring is only a wink away. I am tired of the this icky cold weather. I think the boys are really getting tired of being couped up in the house also. They both need to be out running around doing what boys do and getting muddy and working in the shop with daddy. One good thing about the weather being nice is that when we are at work we are able to stay warm and sweaty but its not to cold where we can't even put enough clothing on to even stay warm just a bit. So Kyle and I are really looking forward to the warm weather that is on its way. Time has just flew by in the past years. Heck, Ely is already 3 and Cooper is going to be 2 on June 10th. That about makes me cry. They are growing up way to fast for me. It seems like just a week ago I was delivering Ely. I will never forget that first eye to eye contact with him in my arms. The first sign of being a mother was that moment. It made it so real. Now that I have two wonderful boys that I wouldn't trade off for anything my life is complete. Kyle, Ely and Cooper keep me very busy along with work. So not much time to do much besides home and work. I just like to spend time with the kids as much as possible watching them learn and explore the whole world that we know. I just hope that I can do the best job as a mother to get him on the right track in life. Well enough with the sappy stuff so I am going to play V-Smile with the boys. I hope you all have a great and wonderful day.
