May, June and July

May, June, and July months were filled with Russell and I adjusting to not having Daddy and then getting Daddy closer to us. In May, Rusty and I celebrated our 8th Wedding anniversary. It is hard to believe that we have been married for 8 years and known each other for 11 years. Interesting enough we now share our wedding anniversary with Case Martin my cousin Amanda's first born son. Another rather scary event was Russell pulling his first emergency room visit. I had taken him to daycare and received a call about 2pm indicating that Russell had a very high fever and that I needed to come get him. Before I even got to the daycare I received another call from the daycare asking me to meet them at the door. Hob, the director, met me at the front to tell me Russell had a seizure, that he was okay but, that I needed to be prepared. We were very blessed a Dr. from St Lukes was picking up his daughter from daycare and had stopped to help. Scaried me to death but, once we were at the hospital we discovered an ear infection and a 103 fever. What Russell had was a febral seizure which is actually common when someones fever jumps at a fast rate. He went from 99 to 103 in about 30 minutes. After he got some fever reliever, antibotics and some TLC +sleep he was doing much better. In June, Russell decided to show his danger baby artistry by falling at the park and busting out his tooth. So after a trip to the dentist to make sure that he didn't push the tooth up into his gumb we now have a toothless boy. Sadly it will be several years before he gets a new tooth in the front. But, I guess it gives hime character. In June, Rusty also got a job working for the Chobani Factory being built in Kimberly, which was wonderful because he could be close for the delivery of the baby and he could come home on the weekends. Russell was so excited to see Daddy when he came home he wouuld run around like a crazy boy every time before finally coming up and hugging his Dad. In June we also go to have Linda and Russ for a few days. We chose not to tell them that Rusty would be coming home that weekend as a surprise. They were very excited. In July, Faith came up to help me paint the girls room. She did a great job helping me and I thought it turned out really cute.

Reviving the Blog

Image
So it is time to revive this blog. I have not used it in several, and I mean several years. Solely do to life and the fact that I didn't think I had the time. Well no more. I think I need to have a venue to share with you all our current pictures and life. I don't really like to do it on Facebook all that much. So with that... it's alive! No better time then now right? It is the week of July 23rd, Rusty and I and our three energetic kids are having a great time with the Colburn clans in Newport Beach, CA. We arrived here, by plane yesterday and have already basked in the glow of the beach and the condos we are staying in. While the flight was quite early the kids did great, one might think they had fun. With good food and fellowship you can't really go wrong. We took the opportunity to celebrate Linda and Russ's 50th, yeah I said it, 50th Anniversary which will be in December. We dined at a fabulous restaurant Sellebello, thank you Heather for finding the l...

January

Image
I know that January is not over yet but I thought that I would get out some fun pictures we have of Russell. So he has been going to the Children's Center at Boise State University since August. I personally think he is thriving there as he is learning how to play with others and what it means to share. He always seems to be having a pretty good time when I go and pick him up. But, he is always happy to see me to which makes it even better. There are some pictures in this batch of him experimenting with food based paint (I think the chocolate was his favorite) and going to the library with his class. I also found some rather hilarious moments in the car with an Fred Meyer ad and when we took him to Sockey for lunch. We got him a meal from their kids menu which he tried to devour in minutes (Kid loves cheese, carbs, and meat) so the chicken quesadilla was a hit. He tried an onion and made a pretty funny face. He is such a ham. It's getting harder to take his picture because he ...

Catching Up

Image
For the first time in months I have a little time to catch up on my blog. I am proud to say that I at least had all of the pictures loaded I just need to get them in Russell's photo book. August , September , October , November , and December was very busy. At work I had new job duties and a new Unit to be a part of while Rusty attended school full time for the first time in a really long time. He did a great job. He diligently went to all of his classes and studied. He even successfully passed part two of Elmentary Spanish after being out of 101 for over 10 years. Russell has grown and grown. He gets a little belly and not a week later its gone and he has grown again. He turned 1 year old in December and Rusty and I couldn't believe how much he had changed. We went to Blackfoot for Christmas and got to spend some time with my mom and dad, and Faith. I wished we would have had some snow for Russell to play with at the time but, we just got it late this year.
