Our toothless girl
Kaedynn lost her 2nd tooth on June 14th. She insisted that NO ONE touch this tooth and that it was going to fall out on it's own. So me and dad let it be, and never bothered it. Well on the morning on June 14th, it was only hanging on by threads -- and i sent her to daycare. Cyndee at the daycare asked her to see the tooth, and put her finger on it, and OUT IT CAME! Kaedynn didn't know that it came out until she put it in front of her to see. The next morning we had to go to Remzley's ear surgery-- so she was sleeping at Aunt Nich's house, and was concerned that the tooth fairy would not find her.. well i reassured her that the tooth fairy finds anyone with a tooth under their pillow-- well long story short, we packed her tooth, and the bag of clothes we packed somehow got put back in my car.. and i brought the tooth back home with me. So the tooth fairy did not come that night-- but did end up coming the next night, when she found the tooth under her pillow. Kaedynn was left 2 dollars and was one HAPPY kid. She cashed in all of her tooth fairy money, from this time and last and went and bought herself a Zhu-Zhu pet.
Our T-Ball Star
Kaedynn started T-ball a few weeks ago. She really seems to like it. I have to say that being a parent and watching all of the kids learn how to play this sport.. is absolutely hilarious. Kids are so much fun. Kaedynn and Dallen got put on the same team (by mothers requests) and they have so much fun together. While waiting in line to bat.. they goof off with each other. Wouldn't it be great to be a kid again.

Kaedynn on 1st base
Kaedynn being the "pitcher" which relates to getting the ball throwing it to 1st base, then catching the ball and throwing it back to the cather to put on the T. That is the spot that all of the kids fight over to be. Oh the Joys.
Kaedynn going in for her big swing. How cute is she. I sure love her.
I am so glad that we put her in a sport to try. She likes to play and have fun (after she warms up from being shy). My goal is to let her try everything-- then let her pick what she likes best.. and master it. I am so grateful to be her mommy, and that she is so happy and healthy. I could not ask for anything else.

Remzley's Ear Surgery
Well, here it goes again. On June 8th (my dads birthday) we woke up and i started getting Remzley ready for daycare, when i noticed all of this oozy brown crap coming out of his ear. I immediately knew that his ear drum had ruptured. I waited until 8 AM when the ears nose and throat (ENT) doctors office opened up, and called them. They said that he needed to be seen immediately, due to the fact that if the hole in the ear drum is too large, it can cause them to go deaf; however the ENT doc was out of the state, and would not be back until tomorrow-- so lucky us, we got sent to the normal doctor ONCE AGAIN to be told that his ear drum ruptured and they gave him a shot in his leg of some type of an antibiotic. We then had an appointment with the ENT the next day June 9th to discuss what and where to go from here and how to fix Remzley. The ENT doc said that we should/needed to do tubes in his ears and that she thought that would take his "raspy" breathing away as well. So on Tuesday June 15th, 2010 we went to the hospital and had tubes placed in both of his ears. When the doc came out of the surgery room to tell us how things went.. her first words were... WOW i have not seen THAT bad of ears in a very LONG time. (Great accomplishment.. right) Remzley slept pretty much all day and rested up. When he woke up from his nap, he was HAPPY and most of his raspy breathing was gone. He still has a bunch of "gunk" in the back of his throat that he can not seem to get out for some reason -- but the raspy breathing, that sounds so terrible is finally GONE! I am so excited and happy to have him (hopefully) on his road to recovery. My poor baby has had the longest 7 months of life that anyone could have asked for.
Here is the picture of him in his "gown" before they took him back for the surgery.

Remzley after he got out of his surgery. It is SO sad when they bring them out.. they just cry and scream and cry. Luckily we gave him a bottle and he was quiet after about 3 minutes.
Kaedynn and Remzley the morning after the surgery. They are so cute together. Remz loves to pull Kaedynn's hair, and Kaedynn loves to talk to him with her "baby voice". They were a match made in heaven.
Big sister Kaedynn got to spend the night at aunt Nichy's house. She always has so much fun and gets so worn out when she goes there. They went to the pool and played. She had a blast.
Thank you for everyone's thoughts and prayers. They are greatly appreciated. Thank heavens that everything went well and Remzley is sounding better every day.

My POOR Remz
As if Remzley has not had enough of a rough ride for the 6 months of his life... More just comes at him. We woke up on Wednesday morning with a few bumps on his cheek... i really didn't think much of it and figured maybe a bug was in his bed, or he just laid on it and it caused the red marks.. So i took him to daycare and just told them to keep an eye on them. Well about 1:30 PM i received a call from the daycare saying that the bumps were all over his body now and kept getting worse and worse. So i called the Dr and of course they wanted to see him. So we went into the Dr office and they said that it is a reaction to the augminten that he was on and the virus that he had. He was on his medicine for 8 DAYS before this happened. So WHY NOW? Who knows. But they changed his Rx to something else and told me to quit giving him the augminten to get the rashes to clear up. They also said to give him benedryl to keep the itching down. They drive him CRAZY and he tries to rub them. I feel so bad for him. I just want things to turn around, and him to be BETTER! Having him sick all the time (for the last 4 months..) is getting really old
Here are some pics of him. I try to leave him naked so that his clothes do not irritate him. The doc said that these should go away in 2-3 days.. LETS HOPE!

Memorial Weekend
This year for Memorial Weekend we did not end up going anywhere. We had quite a few places we wanted to go and things to go see-- but Riley's work would not tell him if he was going to be working or not (until Thursday night)-- so we did not get anything planned, so we just decided to stay home and have fun with the kids.
On Saturday we went to the Living Planet Aquarium. It was pretty cool. I have been to better Aquariums.. One in Las Vegas and one in Maui.. but i guess for Utah it was ok :) There were SOOO many people there. We had to wait for 10 minutes to even get a parking spot. Then when we got in, there was people everywhere. (Not a place for my hubby - he gets so irritated with people). But we had fun and he did not get too mad... so it was good. Kaedynn was terrified of the sting rays. we were standing over the top of them and it came swimming right in front of her -- i told her to touch it, and she jumped back and said .. LETS GO. haha. So we moved on. I forgot my camera-- so no pictures of the Aquarium.
On Sunday, Riley and Kaedynn decided to practice t-ball. He is such a good daddy. We could not ask for a better one. She plays with us for about 20-25 minutes.. then says she is bored and wants to do something else.. T-ball season should be interesting this year :) She has her first practice tomorrow night, so i guess we will see how she does. Here are some pictures of Kaedynn and Riley playing in the back yard.. (sorry for the blurry ones -- momma needs to learn how to use the camera)
On Monday, Memorial Day we went to the zoo. I knew that there would be people there.. but did NOT expect there to be as many as there were. We got escorted to another parking lot (on the south end) that we did not even knew existed, and we waited in line for about 25 minutes for tickets to get in. We got there about 11 AM and by the time we left, around 3 PM it was even MORE packed. It was pretty crazy. I must say that the zoo is a little bit empty right now-- No zebras, bears.. Kind of sucked. I really wish they would bring back the Hippo's .. those were always my favorite when i was a kid.

Cheesy Kaedynn and Kota with the Giraffes. I wish we would have gone when the baby was still there. Giraffes are so fascinating to me.
After the zoo on Monday, we went to my sister Tosha's house and Kaedynn and Kota swam in their new HUGE pool. It was freezing cold water.. but the kids had alot of fun. We then BBQ's steaks and had cheesy potatoes. I sure love going with family. What a great weekend!
We had a pretty fun-filled weekend. The kids had alot of fun and we could not have asked for anything else. I hope everyone else had a good weekend.

Remz's 6 month stats
Remzley had his 6 month check up last Tuesday 5/25/2010 -- he is a TANK!
Here are the 6th month stats:
Weight: 20 lbs 3 oz 90%
Length: 26 inches 25%
Head: 43.4 cm 18%
We had to start putting him in the bigger car seat.. he is just TOO big for the other carrier. 20 Lbs + the weight of the car seat.. is too much. He loves being in the new car seat.
His common names around our house are:
Chubba-Chunka
Chubby-Bubby
Bubba
Remza-Roo
He loves to be sitting up so that he can see whatever you are doing. He loves to go outside. If he gets fussy, all i have to do is take him outside.. and he is just good as gold. He loves the bath tub, HATES cold water. He LOVES to pull hair. And if his sissy walks in the room, he immediately stares at her and laughs. He loves her. He loves to eat fruit baby food-- pretty much hates all veggy's. He eats 4 "tubs" of baby food and 2 bowls of Rice or Oatmeal cereal every day. He is such a happy little guy.
At our check-up the doctor checked his ears, and told me that he has a double ear infection -- one side bulging with infection, and the other side bad -- but not bulging. He gave us another anti-biotic (Augmentin) to use for 14 days -- he said if he is not getting better by the end of this to take him back over to get checked again... He said that they will refer me to the ears, nose, and throat doctor if it still has not cleared out. (We are on day 7-- and still do not think it is cleared) I think i am going to just save myself the time and money and take him to the ears, nose, and throat doc to see what she says about him. There has to be something that they can do for the poor little guy. He sounds terrible. I think he has just gotten used to being sick-- because he acts normal and happy all the time - but sounds TERRIBLE!
