o did i mention k locked me and oak out of the car for 20min at the park? longest/scariest 20min of my life!

mother of two

Being a mom of two is hard work, however i love it more than anything. kherrington is the BEST older sister ever. Every morning she loves to hold oaklei and helps me burp her, change her diaper, and even is great at sharing! Kherrington has a special blanket (a comfort blankee) and she has even given it to Oak to help her be happy. I just love my two girls. They both are super good Kids. Oaklei started rolling over last week, grabbing toys, sleep for 8-10 hours at night, and loves to talk to us. She really lights up when K is around. K has talked about potty training but really does not like to sit on it...shes a little scared of it. but we are working on it! It is super fun, but it does bring new adventures. I cannot go the grocery store and do a heavy shopping day because Oak is in the cart and K in the seat so I have found I either need someone to come with me or wait til Jordan is home. I often find its easier to just play at home outside or inside and not leave unless jordan can come with lol. If I am leaving the house by my self it takes me AT LEAST 45min to get the 3 of us jackets on and in thecar ready to go! hahaThey both bring joy to Jordan and I we love playing with each little girl. They already have a special bond together and I know that they will be best friends just as I am with all of my sisters. I feel so blessed to have these girls they both are good kids, and I am of course super blessed to have Jordan in my life. He works so hard to keep this family up. He is going to school full time and works 30 hours aweek! and still comes home and finds time to play with all 3 of us! Thanks babe you are the best. A couple of weeks ago we got tickets to see the Jazz vs lakers game. He was so excited as lakers are his favorite team. It was so nice to get out for a couple hours! we love our little family of 4! and every day is something new with these girls!

Christmas

Christmas this year was super fun. Jordan and I took Oaklei down thursday before Christmas and met my whole family in Las Vegas. They were all at this light festival with the kids and it was fun to meet them there! Kherrington and Brighton loved seeing all the lights and they even got to ride a train! Friday all the boys went out golfing. Saturday Jordan took me to see a movie which super nice (thanks everyone to watch the girls!) Jordan and I dont get to go to the movies very often now that we have two kids! It was also Christmas EVE so that night we showed Kherrington and Brighton how to leave cookies for Santa they were very excited about this idea...however they did end up sneaking some cookies for themselves! haha after we the kids to bed we played minute to win it! It was super fun to play with everyone! The next morning we had to wake Kherrington up! I was too excited to sleep and I couldnt wait any longer I wanted to see how she would react to opening all her gifts!! haha of course Brighton was already up and helped her digg through her stocking. They both got these adorable pop tents. hers has princesses on it. I had to pull her out of it to open more gifts!! and each time she would open a present she just wanted to open it up and play with it. I had to bribe her to open more haha. Then it got to the point where she wouldnt even get out of her tent! o geeze next year one gift for her! JK. We all went to church later on and it was so nice to be able to go to church and think of the savior on christmas day. we all loved it hearing the music and listening to the speakers. On monday Jordan and Chris rode together adn came back up to utah so they could work. While the girls stayed behind and played! (thanks babe u rock) It was so fun to be able to come home for christmas. I am so grateful to be so close to my family! we love you guys so much and have tons of fun with everyone!!

My first surgery!

So before Christmas came around (like a week) I found out that the iud that I had my doctor put in just a week proir had slipped out of place and broke through my uterus and wounded up in my stomach. yes this was a very painful process and did not feel good. this happened on a tuesday night.. I called my doctor on wednesday and was set up for an ultrasound on Thursday. During the Ultrasound they told me that they could not find the IUD and that I needed to do a Ct scan to find it. Luckily I worked for an imaging center that they were very nice and got me in for the CT scan right away, and they told me it was in my stomach. That night my doctor told me that he does not do these surgeries but his partner does and said that they would be calling me. I got a call from that office and got set up to meet with the surgeon on Monday. On Monday I met with him and we set up for my surgery for the next day at noon. I had no time to actually sit and ponder what was going on. This all happened so fast. The only time I freaked out was when the Ultrasound tech told me she couldnt find it. I have never had any type of surgery before and did not know what to think about. Luckily my dear friend was able to come over and watch the girls for us while I got surgery and then Amy traded her out since she had been here all day! thanks girls u are awesome! The surgery was fine. they put a scope through my belly button to find the IUD and then cut below the belly button to pull it out. The only issue was someone was a retard and did not give me any pain medication before i woke up so I woke up in ALOT OF PAIN! seriously you just cut me open in two spots then dug around and pulled something out, and put something bak in(yes I am crazy and got another put in during the surgery) I was not happy about that decision made and made it very clear lol. Amy and Woody were very kind and were leaving for vegas the next morning and took little kherrington with them so i could rest before Jordan and I headed down for CHristmas as well! It was very sad to have Kherrington go with them but I was also very grateful for day of rest!! Im just glad that my first surgery went well was not too bad and I was able to go home for the holiday! =)
