Saturday mid morning after getting back from the spring brake trip-

So Kaylee just had a really sad look on her face so Janice asked her what was wrong. She said “My heart is just so sad and I can’t make it all better. I just miss my friends soo much. I know my TV is soo much bigger and my house is bigger, but I just miss my friends and it makes my heart so sad.”

-Jon

Sad huh? So we decided to go and scrub all the bird poop off Pinto (the horse) and let her have fun getting good and wet. Pinto needed a REALLY good scrub down as he was coming inside. The sun here will just kill him. Kaylee was so happy when she found out we were bringing Pinto inside. Both the children are really enjoying him inside so much.

Being with Pinto always make her happy. We were just happy to see her smiling face again. After she was done cleaning Pinto we changed her out of her soggy clothes and she and Regan spent some time with the boys pulling weeds.

Regan tried really hard to use Uncle Josh’s new weed pulling thing.

Cousin Hunter came to help. (The yard was horrible.)

Kaylee job was to follow the boys with the wheel barrow and pick up the pulled weeds.

After getting cleaned up it was time to RIDE!

And ride they did.

Several weeks ago we went to a park to take photos of the Day family. After we were done the children all ran around playing.

These girls crack me up. DRAMA Queens! But oh so sweet with each other. When I saw them doing this (Kaylee was scared to cross this bridge by herself so Becca gave her a lift. It’s several feet up.) I got a bit nervous. Although the bridge had a net Dwayne and I put a stop to it.

Later in the car I thought “Man it would have been nice to get a photo of the crazy…”

Not to worry Jon had seen, encouraged, and photographed it well before the rest of us even knew what was going on.

“I was right there to catch them the first time across. Becca did fine so I didn’t worry about it.”

Good to know.

Anyway we have been having a blast with family since being down here. I LOVE that the children are getting to know their cousins better. And being able to have sister time with sisters I didn’t get to see often before is the best!

Kaylee Update: So about a week ago we took Kaylee in to get tested for a UTI. (Yup. AGAIN….) Poor kiddo not only had ANOTHER UTI, but she also had an ear infection. Sad day. Also it was before we had found a pediatrician so we took her to the E.R.

The hospital Jon works for has a pediatric E.R. Mendy’s Place (said like Mindy). So that’s where we went. BEST E.R. experience EVER. It was SO SO SO nice. Neatest E.R. I’ve ever been to. She LOVED it.

We may have to take her to see a urologist….

Regan Update: So yesterday afternoon we met Regan’s new G.I. Dr. Very nice man. Wants to try experimenting with slowly introducing Regan’s allergen foods back into his diet to see what happens.

He wants us to start with wheat. So this morning I gave Regan a poptart (not healthy. but So yummy). He was in heaven. I am to call and chat with Dr. K in a week to decided if we are starting a new food or backtracking to no allergen foods.

I told Jon we need to go get a couple boxes of diapers from Costco ASAP. I hope Dr. K. is right and that things will go well and we will be able to just feed Regan “normal” food. We shall see though.

Kayleeism: So while we waiting for the Dr. to come into the exam room Regan was being super cute.

Kaylee,”Mama where’s a camera. We needa takea picture of Regan James.”
Me,”I don’t have it Love.”
Kaylee,”What! Why not?! What happened?!”
Me,”I left it home.”

Kaylee was horrified with me (I do usually have it and take tons of random pics.). She sort of laid into me about how we ALWAYS need to have it with us. It was funny. I guess I need to start packing it in the ol’ diaper bag.

And with that I’ve finally caught up on our recent activities. Now I can do my last minute (like the toiletries and meds.) packing. We are headed to Utah for a VERY quick Christmas visit. The children are excited to see all the grandparents.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!!
