Sick little boy

AHHHHHHHHHHH!!!! So I am a little frustrated! Asher got sick coming home from Colorado and I went in to the doctor because his cold wasn't improving and I wanted to see what I could do. The doctor gave me a breathing treatment to open up his airways and help his cold clear sooner. Well he hated the treatment and it made him really anxious which made it hard for him to sleep. Then he got croup...well the medicine they gave me is really bad for croup and actually made it hard for him to breath....so bad that we ended up in the ER because he was on the verge of not breathing at all! They then gave me a steroid that allowed him to breath but made it very hard to sleep...so again...I am getting no sleep and I caught his cold. Oh and since you can't give a child under two cold medicine.....life stinks! I called three different times begging for something to help him sleep or at least help his coughing...they just said try a humidifier and he will get better. Oh I would like to hurt the person that took all the cold medicine off the market for children under 2....they are just cruel and I really don't believe there is NOTHING out there to help these sweet suffering children!


OK....so that is my frustration and my excuse for not blogging about my fun trip yet...I am too busy holding my sad little angel baby!

I hope this illness does not come to your home! Take care and hope to blog something fun and exciting soon!

Good Things to come!

I just got back from a three week vacation and wow...I took a million pictures...so as soon as I have a minute I will be posting like crazy! Take care!

Kidney stones

I know this isn't a fun post...but hey I need advice! I just got my CT scan results back and found out I have 3 kidney stones....oh joy hu! I was just wondering if any of you knew someone that did an herbal treatment for kidney stones that worked. I really want to avoid surgery if I can!

Take care and I hope you all are doing well and enjoying this Holiday Season!!!

Halloween 2

The boys love Halloween. The candy and superhero costumes, what more could little boys want. Ethan was excited to be the X-Man, Wolverine!
This year, Asher was a Giraffe. Perhaps next year he will follow his brother's example and be a superhero.

Of course, we had a Halloween party in joy school.

We loved Benjamin, Julia, Aliya, and Ethan's costumes.

Halloween 1

This year's ward Trunk-or-Treat party was a blast. The boys had a great time. Ethan loved getting candy and playing with all of the costumed kids. Asher enjoyed sitting in the trunk and eating candy.

Asher wanted to hide from all of the scary Halloween monsters

Ethan loves Halloween and especially the monsters. At the grocery store, he had to have the Frankenstein cake.

Sharon Vermont 2

Sharon Vermont 1

We decided to visit Sharon Vermont with our great friends Hannah and Tyler. It was so neat to see the serene views in Vermont as we traveled to the birth place of Joseph Smith. The memorial is set within the most beautiful grove of trees. It's no wonder Joseph was so filled with the spirit after living in such a breathtaking place.
