Dropping like flies...

THIS HAS BEEN THE WORST WEEK EVER! But before I get to that let me tell you of happy things...

My Brother Chase was able to come visit us, so friday Logan went to pick him up in UT and look what they brought me back...lets just say it was HEAVEN! Thanks love!

KAI LOVES CHASE, he pretty much stalks him from the moment he wakes up and I really love to watch it!

I kinda like him too :)

hmmmmm.... not sure how much I endorse this photo!

A few days later Kai was lucky enough to have his Oma and Aunt Felicity come visit from cali, and like usual they came bearing gifts! Kai LOVED HIS DRUM SET! Thanks Campos family!!!

And he also loved all the extra love and attention! and Mommy and Daddy enjoyed the break~

NOW...CUE THE AWFUL SOUNDING MUSIC....THIS IS WHERE THIS POST GOES DARK!!!!

Tuesday we went out to lunch with the whole family...on the way home Kai threw it ALL UP and much much more. But by that night he seemed to have passed the worst of it, which made us believe it was food poisoning.

Tuesday night, Chase came home from a friends house and complained that he didn't feel well, the next day he spent most of his time in the bathroom... and it still hasn't stopped!!!

Wednesday morning Logan started to feel "IFFY" and soon after took turns with Chase in our VERY tiny bathroom :) He had to work, on Thanksgiving, even with the flu, and finally started feeling a lot more normal today!!

Thursday= A not so happy Thanksgiving. Since Logan's Mom and sister were here we wanted to still act like things were normal..after a long day of cooking and not a lot of eating, I started to feel awful and....yes, you guessed began sharing with the boys, I got a mixture of Kai's flu and the boys...YUCK! (do you like how there are no pics of me? not a pretty sight!) Unfortunately I found out that poor Felicity also started the flu that night...poor girl couldn't run from this bug!

Friday Morning I was starting to feel contractions and MASSIVE cramping and with liquids coming out of EVERYWHERE (sorry to be so gross) we quickly went to the hospital. I LOVE DOCTORS. We were not only able to hear our baby and know everything was good with it, but we were able to fill me back up with liquids and pain pills and bring this pregnant body semi back to normal....and then I was able to share the wealth of pills with my sick family :)

Friday evening Lori began the flu, after a long long night of sickness she drove the 12 hour drive back to Cali, what a nasty trip! Although we know this wasn't the trip she expected, we were very thankful for all of her help!

I TOLD YOU IT WAS BAD!!!

SO NOW....I BEG BEG BEG AND PLEAD FOR EVERYONE TO FORGET ABOUT THANKSGIVING AND LOOK ON TO A VERY MERRY (HEALTHY) CHRISTMAS!!

The power of a heart beat...

I can't even express how much those little heart beats mean to me. Each appointment, my fears return and thankfully I am met with a simple but magnificent sound. I LOVE MY DR, and today he just talked to me about what a blessing babies were and how awesome it is for the cycle to work correctly. I can't agree more! Through all the sickness and exhaustion I am so thankful to fully realize just how special it is to have this sweet baby growing inside.

I am so thankful to have experienced the last two miscarriages (something I could not say until recently). I have learned so much about myself, my sweet husband and the blessings each child (born or not) can bring to our lives.

Today we were able to schedule the BIG GENDER REVEAL and I can't be more excited! We will find out DEC 6th which seems so soon (I am not complaining though!). Logan still thinks girl and I think boy...we will know soon enough!!

And of course...a shout out to this little rascal!!
When Kai does something bad or doesn't want his diaper changed, he thinks covering his eyes makes him invisible..I think its pretty dang cute!

Kai may look JUST LIKE his Daddy, but the faces he pulls reminds me of my little spunk, always trying to make people smile! :)

I am so thankful for my little family...a husband who puts up with SOOO MUCH, and a wild little monkey who makes my life SOO MUCH fun!

Happy FRIDAY everyone, ENJOY THE SNOW!!!

Sledding in the 'burg

We woke up to snow this morning, which I surprisingly wasn't sad for because I have a little boy who LOVES to play in it. After a quick Walmart trip for snow pants we were ready to explore the SNOW!

Dadda and Kai were having soo much fun, while Mom sat back and enjoyed the show!

What a sweet face! He couldn't stop smiling...although it was FREEZING he refused to wear his gloves..silly boy!

Oh Gosh, I just can't get enough of those smiles!

And this is what happens when its time to come inside...yeah, not so happy now, but we had A GREAT TIME PLAYING!!!

A child's Prayer

I love nightly prayers with Kai because he stares at us and smiles and I can't help but wonder how much he understands. It is one of the few moments of the day where my child sits still...so lets just say we say LOTS of prayers :)

Last night before bed Kai decided it was his turn to say prayer...SO CUTE!
