It's going to be a LONG 2 weeks!!!

As most of you know, or maybe don't know Thanksgiving is in 2 weeks! This is when the girls and I will get to see Cory, 2 weeks it doesn't seem very long but when you have to be away from your bestfriend and the one you love the most it is so hard. Cory got a new job in Payson. We are really excited. We get to start over and this time it will be wonderful. You know when you just feel good about a choice, and you just know that it was the right one, that is how I feel about this job. Right now it is hard because, well I am pretty much a single mom which is the hardest thing ever expecially with Kadence she is acting out really bad and just keeps asking for her dad. It is the saddest thing I feel so bad and cry everyday for her. I knew it would be hard with her but I had no idea. I just keep telling myself it will all be over soon. Right now Cory is staying with his Aunt Cindy and we are so greatful for her and Walley I can never thank them enough. We are hopeing that after Christmas the girls and I will beable to move to Payson with Cory in our OWN house. We are so excited for this adventure and can't wait to start our new lives.

For Halloween this year it was a lot of fun. We carved pumpkins and made cookies it was a lot of fun and then, between parties at school halloween carnival at the high school and trick-or-treating it was a blast. The girls loved dressing up Kadence was a Cheerleader, Megan was Queen of Fairies and Addi was a Ladybug. Cory's cousin Minon and her family were in St. George for a baseball Tournament so they came trick-or-treating with us. It was so much fun to have them down.

We found the Culprit!!

I took Addi to the Allergist today and we found out why she breaks out in hives. First off she is allergic to cats and horses which is really sad because Cory's parents have both and they are their lives but that isn't what is breaking her out and she will just need to take benadryl and zyrtec when we go there so that isn't a big deal.  She breaks out because that is her skin type.  I didn't know there was such a thing as a HIVEY skin type but there is so the things that will break her out are viral infections such as colds, sinus infection, UTI, and so on, pretty much just being sick will break her out, and for the sad one her nerves they say sinse this is her skin type she will most likely break out when she gets nerves, scared and over excited. The example he gave me "When she gets to the point of likeing boys she will get nervous when a cute boys walks by her or stops to talk to her and she will break out."  If that isn't the saddest thing I don't know what is!?  He did say she can and probably and will learn to control her nerves so she doesn't have the out breaks and I beat she will grow out of it. The good thing is it isn't life threatning she doesn't need an epie pen so that is very good news.  We just need to make sure we always have medication with us.  So all in all it is no big deal, that is until she's a teenager!

DEER HUNT

Sorry there are no pictures with this post.  You will understand the more you read.  For the Deer hunt this year we went camping/hunting with cory's family and what a weekend.  Opening morning was pretty good the guys all went out, didn't see anything but they had fun like always, as we were eating lunch Cory said he didn't feel very good so he went in to lay down and with in an hour he was throwing up, had a really high fever and could barely move for Cory to be like this on the deer hunt we knew he was really sick he didn't even want to go back out for the afternoon.  Then at about 1 o'clock Addi broke out in hives really bad worse than the ones she had a couple of weeks ago her eyes were swollan shut, her lips were huge and her ears were triple the size it was horrible, so I gave her some benadryl but it didn't help so with Cory being sick Guyla and I took Addi  in to Cedar City's ER which is 1 1/2 hours away this was the longest drive of my life and once again they told me they couldn't tell me what she is allergice they gave her another steroid and sent us on our way, so we went back out Sunday morning and Cory was feeling a little better thank goodness.  The rest of the time was fun we just hung out, rode around in the Rhino the girls built a hut in the trees and had a lot of fun. I wish I would have taken pictures but I was kind of busy taking care of sick people.  Hopefully next trip wont be as eventful. 

Ages and Stages!! (long post)

I wanted to write somethings that the girls are going through right now in this stage of thier little lives 1 so I can look back and see how innocent and fun they were,  and 2 so when they are grown and asking me advice on there kids I can laugh and tell them they were the exact same way.  No really I want to remember them as they are now, because time goes by so fast and I think that we get so busy in the right now, that we don't sit back and take it all in so we can remember, and I really want to remember the Good, the Bad and the Ugly. 

Megan is in first grade her teacher is Mrs, Manning and she loves her,  she says that she is the best teacher ever and never wants to leave first grade but, that is what she said in Kindergarten about Mrs Bryner.  She loves to do homework.  At the begining of every week Megan is sent home with homework for the week and it is due on Friday well we are suppost to do 1 work sheet front and back a night but Megan insists on doing it all on monday which I love because she just wants to learn so much and I am so glade that she loves homework. All of the other night we do worksheets out of scholar books I have purchased so she still gets homework everynight. She loves to play with Kadence and wants her to do everything with her, she doesn't even really like to go to her friends house unless Kadence wants to go.  Megan is very emotional right now everything makes her mad or she is in tears.  When she gets mad she doesn't really throw a tantrum she just stomps her feet and runs away from me.  Megan loves to help when she wants to.  She loves to do dishes, laundry and her favorite is cleaning bathrooms as long as it is on her schedule.  Megan is an artist she loves to draw and color if we can't find her she is in her room writing letters to us, coloring pictures or drawing a new art piece.  We love Megan so much and she is a blast to be around.   I can't wait to see what she conquors in her life.  She will be amazing at whatever she does.

Kadence well were do we begin with her.  She is in Preschool at "Smarty Pants Preschool"  her teacher is Miss Dani, Kadence loves school and also loves to learn she is reading a little and is picking up on everything so quickly.  She is the loving one of the bunch with a lot of fight.  She loves her little sister and can't get enough of her it is a constant fight of telling her to put Addi down. She wants to help so much also like Megan as long as it is convienant for her.  She loves to dance and show me her "MOVES" as she calls them.  She knows everything just ask her. (ha ha) She is very dramatic and her facial expressions are to die for.  I get a kick out of her everyday either for what she says or how she says it.  She is our TANTRUM thrower, she throws her self on the floor for everything even if I just ask her to pick something up, down she goes with such drama.  She has a lot of energy and loves to play pretty much anything she doesn't have a favorite thing to play it is just whatever she comes up with that day.  She has a big emagination and can come up with quite the stories, I love to listen to them because they seem so real and you really could believe everything that she said if you didn't know what was really going on.  She LOVES her dad and that is an understatment, if he is around she wants to be right with him whether it is outside helping or right in his lap if you see Cory, Kadence isn't far behind.  I can't wait to see what she comes up with next, and where she will go with her imagination and her future. 

Addison is 16 months and a goer.  She is always on the move and doesn't stop until she is in her bed sleeping which I don't even think she really stops in there.  i have never seen someone wake up as happy as she does even if she only sleeps for 20 min shes happy.  She is starting to say a couple of words not a lot bit still it is some.  She loves to play with her sisters and wants to be with them all the time.  If she isn't occupied with the other girls she is probably being held by me.  She always wants me to carry her and just be with her.  She will run in front of me put her hands on my legs and make me stop walking so I will pick her up.  She loves the bath and has figured out if she puts her face in the water she can blow bubbles.  She waves to everyone, she loves to say HI and BYE.  She loves her binkie but she only gets it when she goes to bed so when we say " Lets go Night Night"  she gets the biggest grin waves to everyone around her and runs as fast as she can toward her room.  I love it, it is hilariuos.  She doesn't sleep very good at night and only takes one nap a day but she is still happy and that is all that matters.  Addi is a climber she loves to climb on the kitchen table so we are always having to watch her.  She will probably be the first with a broken bone.  She is the happiest baby I love having her around she always makes it a little brighter no matter what is going on in the day. 

Up date on Addi's hives.

Well it has been very interesting. I ended up going to instacare Friday because none of the medicine was helping and my doctor of course wasn't in his office on Friday. The Dr. at instacare gave me a steroid and told me if she gets a fever then I need to take her to the ER so we went home started the steroid at about 6:30 Friday night she got a fever, so we ended up at the ER. We all know how the ER is it totally sucks. It was 2 hours and a PA (physicians assistant) came into see her he said well I have no idea what it is, so he gave me an order for an epie pen in case she stops breathing, just what every mom wants to hear and told me to have an allergist see her on Monday. Not loving all of this well today she looks so much better the hives are gone and she is back to her normal self. It was the saddest things I think I have ever seen on any of my kids, so here are a couple more pictures and my reason for going to instacare. I think the we have found the culprit for this horrible thing. I was given Gerber Daisies for my birthday on Tuesday from my WONDERFUL husband and BEAUTIFUL daughters and this all started Wednesday night. Well I guess I am hoping that is the reason and we won't have to deal with this again. It is way to said to see.

Addi has hives?

Today Addi woke up from a nap and was covered in what I would say are great big welts, all over her body. I gave her some benadryl and they looked a little better then she went down for an afternoon nap and got up with her face, legs, back, belly pretty much everywhere was covered with these red welts so we went into the Dr. and he said yup looks like hives to me. Hives? from what I haven't changed anything at all. It is so sad she is finally realized that they itch, so she keeps rubbing them and I can't do anything for it. The pictures don't give it justice but they really are so bad, red, swollen and they just keep spreading. Hopefully they are gone by tomarrow or she gets to take a steroid for them great fun. I hate when kids are sick or have something like this you can't really do anything for them but wait it out. Poor little Addi I swear she gets everything.
