Makayla is Home!!

Just wanted to let everyone know that Makayla is home now. After an ER trip that turned into a 4 night 5 day stay at the hospital, we are glad to be home. Well, they found out that the soar on her leg is not MRSA. They still aren't sure, they think she got an infection from her shots she recieved about 2 weeks ago. Either way, it is healing. The pneumonia turned out to be aspiration pneumonia. This means that the food and drink she had taken got into her lungs, instead of all going down to her stomach. They did a swallow study, and found that the only safe consistency to give her right now is pudding texture. She now has to have all of her liquids thickened and her foods pureed. They will begin to add speech therapy to her routine at the Guild School, which will include eating and drinking therapy. The doctor in the hospital wanted us to put a tube down her nose and into her stomach as a feeding tube, because she feels like this will be happening again. James and I prayed about it and felt like this wasn't the right decision right now. Considering, this is the first time this has happened since she has been alive. So, we will be doing the therapy and thickening of her liquids until they do another swallow test on her in 2 to 3 months. She does well with spoon feeding milk and is not coughing anymore, which is a great sign she isn't aspriating. James and I just wanted to thank our family and friends for all the help and prayers they have given the last few days. We are happy to have our little girl home, and she is happy to be aways from the people who just wouldn't leave her alone in the hospital.

Makayla's Hospital Stay

Well, Thursday morning Makayla was refusing to eat or drink and had a high fever. I felt like she needed to go to the hospital. I called James and we took her to the ER. We found out she had pneumonia and she was admitted to the hospital Thursday night. She was doing great on Friday and feeling a ton better. She was also eating and drinking like a little piggy. Friday afternoon, a weird rash started to form on her leg. The rash blistered and spread quite a bit on her thigh. They still don't know what it is. But, they have ruled it down to two things. It is either a serious allergic reaction to aluminium in her vaccines she had about a week and a half ago, or MRSA. We are hoping it is just a allergic reaction and her body didn't fight it off very well, since she has pneumonia. We will post more when we find out what it is and when she gets to come home from the hospital. Thanks to everyone for their prayers and support. Enjoy the pics. This is Makayla when she fell asleep on daddy last week, and then he fell asleep too. Oh, and then James Micheal wanted to get his picture taken, so he acted like he was sleeping too. My silly little boy.

Water Slide Fun!!

Here are some pictures of this summer. A little late I know. This is James Micheal and Liam enjoying the giant waterslide my parents got for them about a year ago. They actually enjoy it now. Thanks mom for the Pictures!!!

If you are wondering, yes, they are in underwear!


Maybe that is fun mixed with fear a little!

Who Needs a Paper Shredder?

So, my Makayla loves to rip any paper you give her. I was searching through the paper for grocery sales, when I left the room for a couple of minutes. When I came back, Makayla had ripped it to shreds. Luckily, it was a store we don't have in the area so it didn't matter. But, I would be out of luck if it was, because there was no evidence left of that being a food ad. We all had a good laugh. But, we really have to be careful because she has already ripped 3 hymn books at church. Whoops! Oh,and I forgot to post these cute picutres of Makayla in her jumper. She is such a cutie, well, when she isn't ripping things, that is.

Remind You of Anyone?

Well, my adorable James Micheal is definetly growing up. He did the funniest thing yesterday. All I can say is, he came out of his room saying, "Mommy, my tummy hurts,I have baby in my tummy." So, I decided to take some pictures of my pregnant James Micheal, that does look like an uncomfortable baby. Oh, and he had a great time bumping baby bumps with me. Until, well we had to deliver his baby with an emergency C-Section, he was just too uncomfortable.

We are having a.....

BOY!!!!. Yes, it is true, we are adding to our family,and this time we have another little boy coming. The baby is incredibly healthy and doing very well. I am due around the 28th of January, and we are all very excited. Especially, James, you can't wipe the smile off his face. Enjoy the pictures. Little Foot!

James Micheal's 3rd Birthday!!!

Well, it is official, our little boy turned 3 yesterday. I can't believe how much he has grown in a year. He is now potty trained(thank heavens!), and learning a new word every other minute. He is a great big brother and such a sweetheart. We love you James Micheal and are so blessed to have you in our family.

So, to start out his birthday festivities, we went to the fair on Monday night,for family home evening. He had a blast on some rides and got to pick out a special treat. A huckleberry ice cream cone,good choice.

Then on Friday, the family came over to celebrate with him. He didn't really have a theme. It was a Garfield Cake, Spiderman wrapping paper, and Hot Wheels presents. Either, way it was fun and he had a great time, playing with his presents. I only have a few pictures of him at the fair and his cake(that I spent 2 1/2 hours frosting by the way). My mom took some great pics and I will post them later. For now enjoy our little pumpkin.

Pictures From Labor Day Weekend

So we went to Rip and Leslie Divis'(James' Aunt and Uncle)house Labor Day weekend and had a BBQ and went swimming. Here are some fun pictures that we got from Grandma and Grandpa Divis, while we were there. Enjoy!!!

Makayla: Sleeping Bottle

Well, I have decided that Makayla no longer goes into her room unless it is bed time. Which means naps in the living room. We found out that she just fake sleeps so we can't here her and she will play in their for hours without us knowing, because every time you go and check on her she acts like she is asleep. So, she stays in the living room now, and this was the nap she took today. With bottle in hand she slept like that for about 30 minutes, then she changed her position, it was pretty cute though.

So, He keeps telling me he doesn't need naps, LIAR!!!

So, James Micheal keeps telling me, and telling me, that he doesn't need naps. He is such a LIAR!!!,as you can tell from the following pictures. This was Sunday afternoon, after a long day at nursery.
He sure is a cute Liar though!

James Micheal's New Haircut

James Micheal's hair was starting to look a little too long for my tastes, so we cut it again. Daddy, actually cut it. He did so good, he was giggling a lot because it tickled when the razor was on. Then he started getting annoyed, because his hair was making him itchy. He enjoyed his bath afterwards. I decided to put some gel in his hair to see how it looked. It is adorable, thanks daddy for the great haircut! This is right when James Micheal said cheese. He loves taking pictures now!

Makayla climbing Mt. Laundry

So, since I have been pregnant, lets just say the laundry hasn't been getting done as often, and when it does, I usually do it all at once, so I have a giant mountain of laundry I have to fold. Well, James decided to have some fun and put Makayla on top of it. We could barely get her to sit up for the picture,she just wanted to lay down and cuddle into the clean clothes.Somebody save me.
In this picutre she looks like she is kicking that ball, she is actually try to grab it with her feet and hands. Silly Girl!!

Cuddling on the Couch

James Micheal decided he wanted to hold Makayla yesterday while we were sitting on the couch. They were so cute together. James Micheal put his arms around her and held her hands. When he let go, Makayla started clapping her hands, like she was very excited. It was so cute, they stayed like that for about five minutes. I can't wait till baby number three can join them. Enjoy!!

Makayla's New Favorite Sound!

Well, we finally found a noise that makes Makayla giggle. The only reason she starts crying at the end is because she is so tired of laughing. Before I turned the camera on she was laughing so hard she gave her self the hiccups. What a cutie, Enjoy!!

Goldfish, Goldfish, Everywhere!!!!

So, while I was in my groggy stupor, this morning, James Micheal asked for some goldfish. I said sure, he usually grabs a handful for a snack and then runs back to his room to play for another hour,so I can sleep a little more. Well, when I woke up, he ate breakfast,and didn't say a word to me. Then I told him I was going to go clean his room and he needed to help me. Well, he seemed like he really, really didn't want to help. And when I opened the door, this was why.




He had grabbed the Costco Size Bag of Goldfish, and spread them all over his room. All he did was look at me and said, "I made a mess, I'm sorry mom." So, he got his 3 minute time out, and I made him help me clean up the goldfish, especially the ones underneath the beds. But, at least it wasn't chocolate, or pudding, or kool-aid, that would have been a disaster!

Coeur d'Alene Lake

We went to Coeur D'Alene lake this last weekend. We took some picture on the board walk.
