Its time for a change!

My mom, Lucy, and I went to look at some model homes today that were amazing. It made me realize how awesome it would be to have a house but it also made me realize that I needed to do something with my hair. What! Yes my hair. The lady at the model homes thought that my mom was Lucy mom which is a good complement for her but when she told the lady that she was mine I could tell she kind of disapproved as If I was like 17 or something. Then we went to McDonald's for lunch. A bunch of High school kids were there and I then realized that I have had the same hair style for forever. So I called up my hair dresser and made an appointment and this is how my hair came out.

No one can resist!

Since we have three wards in our building for church its our turn to go at 12:30pm. Right in the middle of nap time so by the end of sacrament meeting the first hour Lucy is done! We usually end up letting her wonder around to all the different families. Yes, I know it sounds very irresponsible but If shes tired she wont let you control her besides I'm pretty sure that most of the families like having her come sit by them. By the second hour its impossible to be in class so I ended up walking around the building with her. It was kind of pointless to be at church! She is only 16 months not old enough to be nursery. I knew that she would do awesome in nursery even without a nap, theres toys, room to run, snacks, and music. Two weeks ago the primary chorister was holding her and brought her in nursery and the teachers in there said she was fine to stay woohoo!! So last week Tyler went in to check on her and while he was in there a little boy bit her cheek! He didn't break the skin but it was all swollen. This is the second time a little boy has bit her cheek! I guess they just can resist!

Ketchup!

For Christmas both our families were here so it was a bit hectic, but fun.

Lucy got tons of present but the thing that kept her busy all morning was a card that Stacie had given to me. Lucy sat in her chair, pointed to the words, and spoke in her language as if she was reading.

This picture was taken before she got a hold of the card when she was enjoying actual toys. We gave her the cabbage patch doll for her birthday and we never took it out of the box so I wrapped it up and gave it to her for Christmas.

If you haven't noticed, all the grand kids had matching pajamas thanks to Grandma Dayna.
Here's what Sadie got for Christmas.

My sister made this book for Lucy.

My Niece Brooklyn (Melody's baby)

My parents gave this toy to Lucy she was a little scared of it at first but now she loves it.


Lucy was so good with the Christmas tree. She never touched it or the presents. She would just stand next to it and point to the ornaments.

We went to the temple to see Grant get sealed to his family. It was an awesome experience.


Christian got baptized.


This is so blurry but its of our dance party in Stacie's room!

Me and Tyler went to a Kings game at the Staples Center! It was fun but I like the Condors games a lot better. But we did see Cuba Gooding Jr. there.


Our little Sadie.

Happy Birthday Elyse!

My Little Elyse is four years old! Its hard for me to express how much Elyse means to me. I love her as if she was my own.

Ellen!

Even with all the commotion of Lucy being sick me and Tyler were able to go to the Ellen show on Tuesday. The show actually aired on Wednesday. My mom watched Lucy while we were gone. It was raining and freezing we had to be there at 1:00 and didn't get to go inside till 3:30. Once we got inside it was awesome. They sat us right in the aisle. Ive seen the show enough to know that when Ellen is dancing she makes her way through the middle aisle and ends up on the other side right next to where I was sitting. I really didn't want to be on camera but I knew it was inevitable. There was a camera man right on me the entire time so I knew at some point I would be on TV but I didn't realize how many times. They did a close up on me for my reaction of the little girl singing (embarrassing). Then through out the entire show they kept flashing back to our area.

We were the 10th day of Christmas with Wolfgang Puck. He gave us some cookies from his restaurant. There was a photographer named Andrew Zuckerman on the show we got his book called Creature with a bunch of pictures that he has taken of animals. We got a year subscription to net flicks, a set of Ralph Lauren organic cotton sheets worth $700. Finally she gave us a sleep number bed worth $2500. Since me and Tyler were both there we got double of everything. Ironically we just got a new bed so know we have 3 king size beds! We think we will just keep one of the sleep number beds and sell the other two.

Lucy Loves to look at the pictures of animals.

So glad its over

Lucy was really sick this weekend. I'll fill you in on the details. Lucy was really winy and clingy on Monday and Tuesday then on Wednesday she had a really high fever that I couldn't get to go down. She woke up on Thursday with the fever and I could tell she was having a hard time breathing and she wouldn't eat or drink. I called the doctor and went in at about 2:30. The Doctor looked puzzled as to what she had. He said that she had RSV which doesn't really have a cure because its a virus. Lucy had RSV almost a year ago and baby's usually tend to get it only once but they can get a different strain of it again. It usually only occurs in Children under two. I went home and she took a nap. When she woke up I could tell she was a lot worse. Every time I gave her medicine to get her temp down and try to make her feel better I could hear the air in her stomach from the way she was breathing. Tyler came home and we took her to the emergency room. I sat in the room with her for a half hour with her crying the whole time. Lucy doesn't cry unless there is something really wrong so I knew that this wasn't normal. I could hear the doctor talking with the nurses out in the hall just chatting about stuff. The doctor came in and checked her for a minute and said oh she just has a cold. WHAT! Lucy had colds before and this was not a cold but she was the doctor so I listened. We went home and we were up all night with Lucy. Friday morning Lucy was still horrible. Tyler's mom came over for a while and helped me because I was supposed to go to LA to do hair and make up for a wedding I was debating whether or not to go but while Dayna was there Lucy seemed to be a little better. I left at 2:00 to go down to LA. Dayna came back over after work and noticed that Lucy seemed to be giving up. She still couldn't breathe she had a high temperature she still hadn't eaten or drunken anything. They rushed her to the emergency room. She got brought back right away her oxygen level was a 71% Its supposed to be at 100% with in 10 seconds there were six nurses around her with the doctor (a different doctor) yelling out orders. Lucy ended up having pneumonia in both lungs, she was severely dehydrated and had RSV. They sent for an ambulance to take her to Maderas children's hospital where we spent 4 days. Now we are home and Lucy is on antibiotics and an inhaler. Thank you everyone for the prayers and support. We are so grateful to our mothers for helping us through this whole thing and we are soooo glad its over!!

The first thing that Lucy would eat was a sucker.

She tried to plug her oxygen monitor into her monkey.

Happy Birthday Christian!

Stacie's blog inspired me to blog about how Awesome our nephew Christian is! Christian is the smartest, cutest, funniest, eight year old that I know! He beats me all the time in spelling competitions that we have. Who knew that pterodactyl had a silent letter. When Christian was little he always wanted to sit on my lap where ever we were. To know that if I were to marry Tyler that I would have such an awesome nephew really sealed the deal!

Christian has such a testimony of the church and has no doubt about being baptised. He is a good example to everyone. I'm glad that Lucy gets to grow up with a cousin that is such a good influence.

I'm so impressed how unselfish he is. He likes to be the center of attention but will always step aside to let his sister Elyse have the spot light.


That tarantula was found walking around in a field. Its not a pet!

He's not embarrassed to do silly things. I told him to pose like a mermaid.
