My Boys

Snuggling with my boys. Lincoln came over and was rubbing Winston's head, like he watches us do.

Water and Sprinkler Fun

Who needs the pool when you have a front yard?! We have little water pumps that we used to chase each other and daddy down while he was mowing the lawn to squirt him!

We celebrated the 24th of July with a few at home fireworks. We put Winston down for bed (and watched him obsessively on the baby monitor) and went outside. The kids LOVED them! It was fun to let our hair down and play with the kids a little bit!

Snuggles

My people

My heart could've burst today at the site of my family all together hanging out on the couch. So grateful to all be together!

Going Home

MWe had the best nurses and they took such great care of our baby. They were so excited to tell us he could go home tonight! He still has recovering to do, and it is scary to be home without the security of being in the pediatric unit, but so are so grateful to finally have our family of five back under one roof!Coming home last night was the best one month old present for our little guy!

Loves his Daddy

I am so lucky to have such an amazing partner through everything! Brent has made so many sacrifices for my comfort as well as all the kids. He came and went taking care of all of us, slept on the chair so I could have the 'bed,' gets up at all hours to hold him and check on him, has helped around the house, makes sure the kids are still getting plenty of love and attention, gave priesthood blessings, is absolutely my rock, and so much more I can't name it all. My kids scored the jackpot when they got him for a daddy!

IV removal and cute visitors

Head IV

They said the IV in their head actually bothers them less because there are less nerves there. Our nurse did an amazing job putting it in, after they took it out in his last day, you couldn't even see where the entry site was.

Hospital time with Momma

Day 2 with Daddy

Hospital Tests

When we got to the hospital with Winston for his fever, they automatically do a huge work up on babies less than 28 days. He was only 26 days. Thank goodness they did, because it told them and us that he had viral meningitis. He had an iv put into his head, he was cathed for a urine sample, multiple blood drawings, a lumbar puncture, an NG tube down his Nose and into his stomach, X-rays, lots of rectal temperature readings, antibiotics, and oxygen. He is so tough and went through so much over the four day period at the hospital.

Picnic

We had to run an errand in Brigham City yesterday, so we decided to have a little picnic at Maddox Drive In! So yummy!

Princess Dress Up

We love princesses. And dressing up. And China for selling them for cheap.

Doc Visit

With sickness and baby well check visits, we are evoking regulars at the doctor's office. Happy campers considering they were sick! Grateful for vaccinations and pleasant kiddos!
