Family Reunion etc

Last weekend was our family reunion and it was so fun to all be together. The kiddos played outside every waking moment! And it was so nice to have their older cousins help out. After the reunion those that were still here went to Rexburg Rapids and that was so much fun. Then I took Kaitlyn and Hollie shopping and they got some really cute things. My brother and his family stayed with us until wednesday and now my kiddos are lost without their cousins to play with.

We said goodbye to some dear friends as they left to go home for New York. We will really miss them as they have been family to us and sisters to me especially! But we are planning for them to come out in the spring! So I hold onto that!

I have had a cold and then two nights ago it hurt to breathe and it felt like someone was standing on my chest, I went into the dr yesterday and lo and behold I have PNEUMONIA!!! So crazy, he said that if I had waited 1 day later I would be in the hospital! So i have a pill to take everyday and an inhaler. It feels a bit better to breathe today but I cant believe how much I weeze. The kiddos both have colds and I am hoping thats all they have. Gookie had some pretty miserable nights and was up until 3 am last night. So i am hoping tonight is MUCH better.

pics to come soon!

We're alive!

Greetings and saluations! I havent been posting anything because our computers both have died on us and therefore I cant post any pictures. Lame, I know.
But here's what's been going on. I have had 2 iron infusions and feel and MILLION times better! I dont have to take a nap 3 times a day! It truly is wonderful. Brad has 3 weeks of paid vacation off and I wonder somedays if he would rather be working than being home with a 4 and 2 year old.
Hunter and Brooke continue to grow right before our eyes and they are so much fun.

We just got back from camping with Brad's family and it was a great time. As soon as we got home I promptly put the kiddos in the bath and the water was brown!! They had so much fun!

This weekend it is my family reunion in Driggs, it's the first reunion we are having of my parents and their 7 kids and 29 grandkids!! We havent been together since the Christmas of 2008!! I just dont think 3 days is long enough! But i am so looking forward to it! This has been such a fun summer!
