Penicillin Reaction

Halle had a reaction to Amoxicillin. She is covered from head to toe in hives. She is quite itchy. Megan Brinkerhoff's little girl and Teri Feltners child also had a reaction to the same medicine. Does anyone else besides Megan and I think that this is wierd to have these three kids have reactions like this within a week of each other. Maybe a bad batch of Amoxicillin. Who knows. I personally think it is very strange!

Happy Birthday Taylyr & Porsha

YUMMY CAKE PORSHA!

Porsha was born on March 1st 2008. I didn't care what day she was born but I was not going to have her on leap year. At four in the morning the day after leap year my water broke and I was so glad I had made it. She was born 3 weeks early weighing 6 pounds 11 ounces. My biggest baby. She was so cute with the brightest eyes. She has been nothing but an angel ever since. She is my last baby so she is probably a little spoiled. She can already hold her own with her siblings. She is such a little sweetheart. We love you Porsha and hope you have a wonderful first birthday!
My sweet Taylyr was born on Feb. 28th 1998 weighing 6 pounds 5 ounces with her moms pug nose. She is such an angel. We were so excited to be expecting a baby after trying for 6 months. When we found out if she was a boy or girl, I guessed a boy and Mike was sure it was a girl. Be careful what you wish for cause now he has 5. Taylyr is such a good example to her little sisters and brother. She is such a cute sweet girl. She is so much fun and very outgoing. She loves to play basketball, play the piano, sing, and clog. She also likes to run, play guitar hero, play with her friends, and hang out with mom. I love the way she is so easy to talk to. At this point mom is still her friend and she loves to talk to me. I hope she will always keep doing this. She loves horses and so we got her a horse cake for her birthday. Taylyr has a very kind heart and is such a sweetheart. We love you Taylyr, Happy 11th Birthday. We had a party with all of Taylyr and Porsha's aunts, uncles, and cousins over. Grandpa and Grandma Syrett came too. Grandpa and Gradma Stevens couldn't make it. We had a great time.

I CAN'T STAND IT!

That is right. I can't stand it. (First of all, I know, two posts, but I am making up for lost time). Okay so on to what I can't stand. I can't stand not having a baby. Mike has been really playing with Porsha and getting her to walk and I don't want him to. She turns one on March 1st and I don't really care if she is walking or not. I have told him that I don't care if she walks yet because when she walks and quits nursing I don't have a baby anymore. I CAN'T STAND the thought of not having a baby anymore. Especially since she is my last. I don't want her to reach any of the normal milestones because I know it will be the last time I see them in my own children. I know that some people still see me nursing and are probably wondering when I will stop. I don't really care what they think. I will nurse as long as I feel like it and she feels like it. I will assure you though that I will not be one of these moms that are nursing their babies at 4 or 5 (At least I don't think so! :) Not that there is any thing wrong with it because--- to each his own. But for my last little one, I want those moments to last forever. I would love to have a dozen kids but my history of pregnancies is not the best and it was just my time to be done. Mike is EXTREMELY DONE, no, Mike was EXTREMELY DONE two kids ago. It is time to move on and enjoy my kids without being pregnant and nursing all the time but I am sure having a hard time letting go. If you have any tips on how to ease this process I would love to hear it. I am not sure that there is any easy way to do it. I just wish these moments could literally last forever.

Finished!

That is about all I can say. I am finished. Finished scrapbooking. I have ten books to order plus some other things for gifts. I am so glad to be done I could do cartwheels. (That wouldn't be pretty!). I can join the living again and become a part of my family. Mike knows how much I love to do this and so he supports it 100%. (Like he has a choice, right?! :) I love to get my books back and watch how excited my kids get when they see them. They love their scrapbooks. Now I have a few weeks left to enjoy before I go back to work. Mike and I and Steph and Clint are headed to the Nascar race next weekend in Vegas. I am not actually going to the race this year because I still have a nursing baby. She goes wherever I go. So I guess I will be shopping with Steph who is taking her new little one also. Works out well. I have two little ones with birthdays while we are gone. Tay's is Saturday and Porsha's is Sunday. Porsha will be with us but Tay won't. I feel bad being gone on her birthday but I have plans to celebrate them before we leave and Mike has promised Taylyr the best birthday party ever for us being gone. I will also leave everything for Taylyr's favorite dinner so she can still have it on her birthday.

Update on Suzies Boy

Go to her blog link on the side.

Fun! Sad! Awful!

I thought I would just give a quick update for this last month. I am still scrapbooking constantly but I thought I would take a break and blog. So FUN: I went to Flagstaff with my mom and two sisters. We got massages, shopped, more shopped and went to a movie and dinner. Oh and talked, talked, talked, (Okay so maybe I talked talked talked!). It was a blast. We also planned next years spa weekend at the Orleans in Vegas. Chrishel and Jentre' I hope your in on this one. You too Cailee if you can get away from Siri.
Sad: Mike's Grandma Stevens passed away on Sunday. Mike called me on my way home from Flagstaff to tell me. We had been expecting it since she fell and broke her hip and was not doing well. When I got home from Flagstaff we had to head straight up north. We stopped by Mike's parents house and then went on to Lehi. We took the kids to the Draper temple open house. It was beautiful and the kids loved it. Then Sadie had to go to Primary Childrens. We found out they are going to do surgery on her heel chords to lengthen them. She is having the surgery in March and will have a walking cast on both legs for 4 weeks. I hate to do it but she needs it.
Awful: Suzie (Mike's sister) and Brett couldn't make it to the funeral because their son that is 8 months younger than Ashtyn got really sick. Last we heard they were doing tests to see if it may be Leukemia. It is just awful. I hope he is okay and doesn't have it. We are praying in every prayer that he is okay. Your prayers would be much appreciated. I will let you all know when we know what is wrong.
