Random May Happenings

So I am trying to be better at blogging, and May was a busy month for us. I posted a couple "significant" things we did (below). But here are a few random things we had going on in May as well.

Peyton had to do a report/poster on his heritage. My grandpa told him this is where we are from, so thats what we did. I suck at heritage stuff and pretty much think I came from America.. bahahaha!! He had a lot of fun doing it. They also did a dance from the 50's at school and he did so great! I actually think its time to look into putting him into a hip hop class, cause he pretty much rocks.

My sweet niece Paizleigh. They stopped by to visit and I just can't get enough her sweet smile. She is such a happy little girl. I'm sad I can't see her everyday, or even once a week. :(

My cheeseball...

Jaxyn and Paiz hanging out! Note the awesome MUNO hat! ;)

My boy LOVES to eat. None of my other kids loved food as much as he does! He is an animal! If you have food, he wants it, and he will eat anything! Loving this mango!

My sweet Addyson and her favorite person (when she wants jelly beans at least). She sure has her dad wrapped around her finger.

And the result is in!!

I'm pretty excited, to say the least... that I'm getting a NEPHEW in November! I have a baby niece in Idaho, and inherited nieces and nephews when I married as well. But this will be the first baby born that is CLOSE to me, like less than 2 miles away. They had a cute little gender reveal party and of course, I was right, its a boy and Mr. KREW will make his debut the end of November, or sooner like I hope! I can't wait for Jax to have a cousin so close to his age, it will be such a fun time to watch them grow up and play together!! EEEEeeeeee!

It's a BOY!

Kennecott

We took the kids to Kennecott Mine a couple weeks ago. They thought it was a lot of fun and interesting. We were able to pack a picnic and go to a park near the mine. It was the coolest park ever and the kids could have played there ALL day long! Ryan and Sarah were able to come, as well as Crystal and Jake and Nicole. I'm trying to find fun things to do as a family lately.. seems like with the chaos of normal life that we don't spend a ton of time doing things all together. So this is helping :)

Let's try this again....

I'm going to give this blog thing another try. My mind is slowly fading and I would like to try to remember the fun things my kids do, the fun family activities we have or simply just use this as my venting place! ;) Hopefully it will make me get my camera out more and help keep me on track! Cheers to blogging....

Stupid blogging

Well I have now tried 4 times to upload photos to this blog and I get an error page everytime.. I'm giving up for now.. just know that I am trying.. UGH!!!

Family Pictures

I'm a bad blogger, too busy. But here are a couple family photos from our Burrows Family Photo shoot last week! Enjoy!

Learning to Adapt....

I'm a bad blogger, and thats ok... because now, 100% of my time is spent at home, with this little one! Yes, I quit my job and am now a full time stay at home mom! What a transition but it has been great so far! I do love being home to watch Peyton leave for school and to be here when he gets home! What a great feeling. I feel so blessed to be able to do this. I am so very grateful for an amazing husband who makes this possible for me! So I'll leave you with this poorly taken phone photo of me and the little one on our Friday day at home! :)

More To Come

Addy had her 3 month pictures taken! As soon as I get some time I will upload the rest..

until then here is the princess:

She did an amazing job and I would refer anyone to her!

Climbing Higher

Peyton received the "Climbing Higher" award from his school yesterday! He received it for doing a good job on his subtraction assignments. Best part about all of this.. is when Dean said good job dude, you did good with subtraction. Peyton replies.. whats subtraction?!? Oh my, we have a long ways to go with this child! His mind is anywhere but school, must get that from his momma! :) Anyhow, we are very proud and he was SOOOO excited!

Happy boy with all his award stuff!!

For all the moms out there....

I bought this product a few weeks ago! And it has literally saved me!! It times everything about a baby, feedings, diaper changes, sleeping, etc... If you breastfeed (which I don't) it has a button for left or right side used last! If you are like me.. you look at the clock when you feed or change your baby and say ok, its such and such time, yet whenever Addyson cries again, I can't remember what time I fed or changed her to decide what it is she really needs! Its also really helpful for babysitters to know when you fed them last or for them to keep track as well! Anyhow, this may be my new favorite baby product ever! So here is my shout out to the

ITZBEEN!

I would recommend it to any new mom out there!! :)

My baby is growing up... TOO FAST!

I can't help but do a quick post of how big my baby is getting... we celebrated her 2 month birthday this past week and here are some pictures to show it! Sad how fast time flies but so thankful we have a happy and healthy baby now! We love her so much!

Sitting up in her Bumbo.. really at 2 months??

Formally introducing....

(I hope to eventually finish up my "DAYS" at the hospital journaling... but until then)

Here is our baby announcement.. FINALLY!! :)

{DAY 6}

Day Six:

On day six, we got to the hospital from being home to sleep and she was progressing but they wouldn't make any promises on whether to take her c pap machine off. However they kept turning it down lower and lower all day and said that by 2:00 p.m. they wanted to try putting her back on the high flow oxygen. Well all went well and by 2:00 they had her c pap on and put her back on high flow. She was SOOO happy about having that terrible machine off her face and so were we. She still felt pretty crappy and couldn't eat, which just made her very mad still. The day was pretty slow, just a watch and wait game. We went to dinner that night and before we left, Addy had been awake for over an hour just staring and looking at us. That was the longest I had seen her awake in days and days! It was sooo nice! In fact, we weren't going to come back after dinner but I just couldn't stay away so we stopped by for a few minutes after dinner to say goodnight.....

Awe, feeling much better with that darn mask off her face!

Giving daddy the lovey, save me look

Still pretty tired and worn out.. and HUNGRY!

Poor chapped lips..

Tender, couldn't miss this picture moment!

{DAY 5}

Day Five:

We returned back from home on Day Five to see that Addy had a good night, the breathing tube still wasn't in the clear but she was doing ok. Day five was pretty much a sit and wait day, nothing too exciting, no changes really. She was breathing ok with the machine and didn't need to go up or down really. So I just pretty much sat here and watched movies and played on the internet.. tee hee! In the afternoon they decided she was probably away from the breathing tube and decided they could now give her a feeding tube (she hadnt eaten for over 48 hours) and she was mad about that i promise!! Anyhow, they got feeding tube number 1 in. Its quite a process. The instert the tube, tape it and then have an x ray done to make sure its in the right place. So they insterted it, x rayed it and it wasn't in the right spot, so they had to replace and re x ray again. Then it was good, taped and ready to go. Well miss prissy pants decided she didn't like the tube, so she pulled it out a couple hours later. They tried to just place again really fast, x rayed it and sure enough, not in the right spot.. so they pulled it out and put a new one in. As they were getting ready to tape that one, she again pulled it out... so they gave her a break, we went to dinner so I didn't have to watch that again and when we came back, she had another feeding tube and her hands were bundled in a blanket to keep them away. Gotta love the spunk of my little munchkin!!! :) Things other than that were pretty calm for Addy on day five. We went home to catch some zzzzz and returned the next morning....

I brought a flower to put on her hat, cause if you know me.. she has to be dolled up at all times!

Mom and Addy


She hates it alot.. and has to be sedated alot to tolerate it

Awe those eyes are so sad.. so very sad....

Wanting food... and now.. I LOVE this pictre and this face.. and I love Addyson

Still missing my Peyton though.. its really tough to seperate the kids... an have to be with one and not the other... really really hard.. hopefully soon we will all be together again..

{DAY4}

Day Four:

Day Four began with Dean and I coming early from being home sleeping to find they they indeed had to put our sweet baby on the C Pap machine. As you will see in the pictures below, its the saddest things EVER!! She HATES it... they kept telling us over and over how feisty she is and she kept swatting her hands trying to pull it out of her nose. She did ok on the C Pap machine for a bit but as they day went on they started to talk about putting her on a breathing tube. What a scary though. Well they finally decided she was working way to hard and got everything prepped for the feeding tube.. I left the unit because i couldn't watch and went to inform our family and friends. I returned back to find that they hadn't done it. I guess one doc wanted to and one doc didn't. So it was a battle.. they sent off for more testing. Gas tests to check the CO2 in her blood. First one came back great, so they did one every hour to try to see how it was, it never went back the other way towards bad, so luckily they didn't have to do a tube.. however they would keep us wondering for the next day or so cause they still weren't positive that she wouldn't need one. She had a rough day on the C Pap and hated it so much, so hard to see. That evening we were lucky enough to have my Grandpa and Grandma Walton to visit and Grandpa offered to give her a blessing. We figured it couldn't hurt so we did. It actually did make me feel alot better, anything at this point helps. We then left again to go home and sleep and hoped for the best...
