On the Mend-

Last week was one long long week for me....Izybel wasn't feeling well all week. At the begenning of the week I didn't really think anything of her runny nose or cranky attitude. It seems like ever since we've opened the daycare she's had a runny nose and she's always had an attitude. On Monday Hailey took Nash to the Dr. because he wasn't feeling well and he ended up having pneumonia...so this kind have scared me....and Izybel just kept seeming like she was getting worst and worst, and she was already on an antibiotic for a double ear infection. I knew Hailey was going out of town so I decided I just better take her in to get looked at since I wouldn't have time the rest of the week (and the night before she whined all night)
So, on Wednesday morning I took her to the doctor and she was not happy about it. She hates going there being messed with and stuff. They listened to her lungs and said they didn't sound too good and that her ears had gotten worst and they thought she might have RSV. I couldn't beleive it....I wasn't thinking that she would have that...just a bad cold or something. They brought me a machine for breathing treatments to clear out the gunk in her lungs and gave her a big ol' shot! I was near tears with her too.I hate seeing her have to go through that. During her breathing treatement they brought in the RSV test, I was just thinking like a swab of the throat...oh no....They bring in this syringe with a tube hooked on it that they stick clear up her nose, it was awful, but fast, thank goodness. The test came back positive and I knew it was going to be a long few days.
We decided that we better shut down the daycare. Hailey was going out of town, Izybel had RSV...our worker was out of town...and all the kids seemed like they were pretty sick there too, so we let the air clear there for a few days. Izybel and I stayed home those whole four days, not going anywhere. I found out that I could never be a stay at home mom. I was going NUTS! I just needed to get out, but I knew Izybel was very contagious and needed those four days to just stay home and not be near any germs. So, Izybel and I played, cleaned, cooked, and watched movies over and over again. I think that we were both glad to get out of the house today. And she seems like she is doing tons better.







The day I took her to the doctor, you can just tell she looks sick-

This is her 100th time destroying her room....I picked it up over and over again

Looks like she's plotting her next plan of attack

This is Izybel today....I think she was as happy as me to get out of the house

SLC

This weekend we took off and went to Salt Lake. Cody had tickets to go to the Jazz vs Suns game with my family and I needed to get away and go shopping. We left really early on Saturday and Cassie rode up with us. We shopped at the Gateway all day until it was time for them to go to the game. Izybel and I stayed in the hotel room while they all went because I didn't want to wrestle with her all game. The weather was so nice on Saturday and we didn't even have to wear jackets....we were so suprised to wake up on Sunday to the blizzard that was going on and it kind have ruined all our plans so we pretty much just came home on Sunday.

On Saturday when we were walking back to our hotel from the Gateway Cody noticed the back enterance to the Energy Solutions Center where there were only a few people standing there. So of course Cody had to stand there and see what is going on. I guess they let people stand there while the players drive up and most of the players stop and will give you an autograph and stuff. Cody was in heaven with the idea of this. He busted out his jazz shirt he had just bought at the mall and we waited and got a few autographs. I wish he would have never found out about that spot because now I know when he goes to games he will be camping out there. It was kind have neat to see the players in their normal clothes and their nice rides. We got to see Kirlinko, Brewer, Korver, Millsap, Williams and the Coach Jerry Sloan. (I'm sure I spelled half of their names wrong)

The first pic is of Shaq, second one is of Kyle Korver and the rest are us at the Gateway

Spring Fever~

On Saturday it was a really nice day so we let Izybel go outside for awhile and play. She has been dying to go outside and see what it's all about but it's just been too cold. She never really has gotten to go outside since she could walk because of the weather. She loved it out there. The first thing she did was run out to the road and just run up and down it. She was amazed with everything out there and couldn't get enough of it. I told Cody that I'm pretty sure we'll be outside with Izybel all summer long. I turned my back on Izybel for two seconds and she ran right into a mud puddle and got stuck in it. So her day outside was over after that. Every day now she tries to escape out the door to get outside but it's just been too cold again to take her out.-



Izybel is a big girl now!- I finally took her off of her "ba ba" It's been a hard few days with her off of it, and she still cries for it but she's getting a little too old to be carrying her bottle around with her. Everytime I give it to her she throws it at me and has a lil' tantrum...but then eventually she will give in and drink her sippy. Hopefully this doesn't go on for too many more days or I just might go crazy.



Happy St. Patricks Day!-

Lil' DIVA-

So Izybel has been pretty bad lately thinking that she gets whatever she wants. She's pretty smart too! If there's something she knows she can't have she will act all nice and give kisses and slowly grab or make her way to that thing. Or her other way of getting something is to just throw a fit. There is nothing more humiliating than your kid freaking out over something in a store and everyone starring at you like what are you going to do. I try not to give into her, but sometimes it's hard and it's just easier to give it to her and spare the embarrassment. Cody says I spoil her too much, but whatever, she threw a fit the other day to get a doll at Wal Mart and he bought it for her! She has this look she does now and if you make her mad or do something she didn't like she will just give you this nasty little look. We all laugh every time she does it.







This picture is pretty funny. When we were in Boise shopping Hailey had shown Izybel this purse and she loved it! My dad was the one pushing her in her stroller and he told Hailey to take it away from her so they could leave the store. Hailey told him that she wasn't going to take it from her and make her mad. Well, why they were talking about this Izybel was still examining the purse and she grabbed the price tag, looked at it and looked right up at my dad and said "Grandpa?" So, as you can see he bought her the purse and she got a cute pair of glasses to go with it too.



I took this one of her yesterday......She looks cute right?!


Well, right after that one she told me "NO NO" and gave me this look.

State Basketball~

Last week my family and I went to go watch Cass play basketball in Boise. It was so much of fun! It was so nice to just get away for a few days and forget about everything. My Nana and I left Wednesday afternoon and got to Boise around nine. I was so worried how Izybel would do in the car, four hours is a LONG ride. She fell asleep until about Twin Falls and than the water works started....I was so glad that we were able to stop there and let her out and run around for awhile, after we got back in the car she fell back asleep and woke up about ten minutes from Boise screaming again....so needless to say it was a success getting up there but I'm glad we don't travel often, it's so frustrating driving with a screaming baby. When we got there that night Cass came to say Hi (we thought)....but really she just wanted to use our bathroom!

This is Izybel after we arrived...She looks a little worn out!


The next day Cass played at one so we pretty much just woke up got ready and went to Cass game...Izybel and Nash have really cute sweaters supporting their auntie Cass, and my mom made Izybel a cute bow to match her shirt...they looked so cute!



Too Cute!

Cass getting ready to go play

I even took a pic of her name on the bus!- Can you tell we were proud of Cass?!

Izybel cheering on Cass in their game

They won their first game against Fruitland, after their game we went to my Uncle Buck's house and hung out with them....We hardly get to see them so it was nice going over there. Cass didn't play until six the next day so we had all day to shop. That was quite an adventure taking Izybel and Nash there. Izybel was awful the whole time pretty much....she doesn't like to ride in her stroller....good thing my dad and julie were there to help me out holding her or pushing the stroller, and I've found out that even if Izybel won't ride in the stroller it's nice to just throw all your shopping bags in it:)

Cass ended up losing their game that night, but they played the team that took state.
So They played for third place the next day!

Nash and Izybel getting ready to leave for Cass last game(thank goodness)
Cass team ended up winning and taking third place! We were all so happy for them. They're a really young team so all the girls, minus one girl, will be back for next year!

all I can say is you rock beotch!~

Even though I had fun in Boise I was so glad to be going home, and I think Izybel was too. We were so worn out from going going going! Izybel slept the WHOLE ride home.

P.S. note to self....never travel with Hailey ever again!~

Photo Tag
The purpose of the tag is to tell the story about the pic you post. 1.) Pick the last pic in your last folder, or 2.) Pick a picture that seems like an average pic but has some fun story behind the picture...
I picked a few pics in my folder that had stories behind them....


This picture is when Cody and I went to Salt Lake to watch the Jazz play the Lakers. It was our first time ever leaving Izybel. We were just going to come back the same day but there ended up being a storm and we had to stay down there. I cried all night long and called my mom like every hour to make sure Izybel was ok. She was only like 2 months old and I had never been away from her. In this picture we are eating at Hooters. Cody brother was with us too and they decided that's where they wanted to eat at.....I wasn't very impressed!!


This is when Izybel was 1 month old and Cody thought that it would be funny to snap some pics of us while we were sleeping. This is like the first of ten pics he took...How annoying!!! I noticed he had taken them a few days later when I was looking through the camera, he thought that it was hilarious.


This is Cass. We all know what a tomboy she is. She was nominated for Homecoming royalty and won!! This is a little out of her comfort zone, but look how HOT she looks! Hailey and I took her dress shopping and all. She picked the first dress she tried on. It was a long week of three days of her having to get her all dressed up....It was so fun though! Even though Cass was an SUPER BRAT all week long, I can't wait to do it again!~


This was the day Nash was born. Izybel was only 13 days old. When we layed them next to eachother Izybel held his hand. It was so sweet it was like they already knew eachother. They are bestfriends and always will be. They kind have have a love hate relationship but it's just so fun to watch them together. We always tease that they probably think that they're brother and sister cuz they're always together. I can't wait to watch them grow up together!
