a Surprise and a first.

Jon is sneeky. He decided to surprise me for my birthday weekend. I was SOOO surprised! Friday morning at 6:30ish AM I went to check (I had to pee and thought since I was up I may as well get stuff started.) on Regan and get his morning formula ready so I could just hand it to him in bed when he came to get me in and hour or so. Well I was SO scared when I saw a man shadow waving at me from Kaylee’s bed! It took me a moment to realize it was Jon and he was in Kaylee’s bed with Regan (Kaylee climbed in bed with me at about 5:30 AM). I took out my ear plugs and he said, “Surprise!”

It was great (once the shock/fear was gone). That night we had some friends over for dinner and games. Then Saturday morning headed down to St. George to watch conference with my family.

Usually we watch conference, celebrate my birthday, and get new family photos taken. Well since I had no idea that Jon was going to surprise me I told my Mom that I wanted to wait until Jack’ee’s visit to have a party. So poor Kaylee has to wait a few more days until she can blow out my candles.

 Still it was AWESOME being a family again. (Even if it was for just a weekend.) Best birthday gift EVER!

Between sessions of conference we went and got some pictures at the temple. There are several I love and am having a hard time deciding which one to use for our Christmas postcard.

This morning (my actual b-day) I got to take Kaylee to her first ultrasound. Kaylee has had too many UTI’s and so we need to find out why she keeps getting them. She NEVER has bubble bathes, she no longer wipes herself (bums me out, but UTI’s bum us all out so we wipe her…), and she drinks straight cranberry juice (she LOVES it and calls it her “special juice”) daily. So she REALLY should NOT be having UTI’s at all.

I was SO proud of how awesome she did. She was SOOOO scared and told me so, lots. She also said she was going to cry (a little boy was bawling right before her name was called). I’ve been explaining what was going to happen for a few days to prep her. So we went prepared. She got to take her Lamby AND her Barry blanket.

The Tech we had was SO sweet. She showed Kaylee what she was going to do first on my hand then on Kaylee’s and let me lay on the table with Kaylee. Kaylee even requested that Nancy find her gum she had JUST swallowed. So Nancy did (not sure if the white blob really was gum or not, but super nice of Nancy to humor Kaylee).  And Kaylee thought it was SUPER cool being able to see her insides on the “t.v.”

Kaylee was just chatting and giggling the whole time. Telling me and Nancy stories and how excited she was about getting chocolate ice cream. She and Nancy had a long discussion about which was better, chocolate ice cream with or without nuts.

Thanks Nancy for being the BEST tech EVER!

After we were finished I took Kaylee to a local soda fountain (super cute old school fun) for a chocolate ice cream cone. She thought it was the BEST.DAY.EVER!

Let’s face it she got to see gum she swallowed, plus eat a HUGE chocolate ice cream all without Regan there. It was a pretty cool day for little miss. We find out the results in a few days.
