Fun at the Water Park in Boise...

We were in Boise last weekend for some doctor appointments for Chris. Man it was HOT there. We took the kids to a park that had a little "water park" thing next to it. It was a blast!! The kids had soo much fun. We went there a few times during the weekend!! Kaity was even getting brave and trying to stand on her own!!!! It was soo much fun!!!

Surgery Round 2!!

Well once again were doing some sort of surgery!! My little Kaitlynn had her second round of tube surgery yesterday. 2 times in under a year better be the trick!!! The doc said her ears were horrible. So atleast we did the right thing. Now I am hoping that the poor little thing will feel better finally and decide maybe to walk!!! The last few pics cracked me up..she is totally doped up right before they took her back. She was soo funny. I think they should prescribe that meds to all parents!! hehehe j/k (maybe!!)

Well I haven't posted in awhile. But here are a few of the bunch I have of Kaitlynn's new 15 month pictures. I am totally in love with them. They are so good!! I just cant get over how dang cute she is!! I just love her. I cant believe she is already 15 months. Thats just rude LOL!! Anyway I hope you like them as much as I do. I was going to put them all on..but there are tons of them. So here are a few of my favorites that I wanted to share!!!! Dont you just want to kiss her sweet little face!!

Advice???

Well not much has been happening..well interesting anyway. The only thing I was thinking about putting on here is wanting to know if anyone had any advice for me about my Kennedy. She is struggling with being the middle child and I am not sure how to help her right now. Kennedy is very much the alpha female anyway...but she is really struggling with something lately. She has started pulling her hair out!!! In chunks. I feel so bad. I just dont know what to do for her. Her behavior has also been worse then normal LOL. And she has been starting to be a bit mean to Kaitlynn. Pinching her and smacking the back of her head when she thinks no one is looking. Taking toys away and yelling at her. I want to help Kennedy, to make her feel better. But at the same time I have to protect Kaitlynn and I cant let Kennedy get away with being so mean. I feel like she needs to be disaplined for her wrong behavior, but dont know how to do it when it comes to what she has done if it involves the baby because that seems to be her sore spot anyway. Soooo UGH. I am kind of at a loss. So any advice would help.

Can you believe my luck???

Ok...so I offically had a crappy week!!! And I am not sad its coming to an end LOL. On Monday night about midnight (ok I guess that is Tuesday huh?) I woke up and started feeling yucky. Didnt sleep at all that night. Was walking around, messing on the computer to try and take my mind off of my stomach..to no avail. About 9am ish..I was really hurting..and by now I was figuring it was yet another gallbladder attack. Those sweet things!!! UGH. So about 11am I am wanting to literally just die it was hurting so bad. I have had 3 babies and would gladly do those all over again with no epidurals if I didnt have to do that stinkin gallbladder pain. Nothing compares to it!! So I call Tim about that time (he is at work) to take me to the ER. I just had a feeling something was really wrong. Cause they do suck everytime you have them, but they managed to go away after a really long night and this time it just wasnt and the pain was getting worse.
So Tim's sister, Ashley, poor thing. Drove me to the hospital, with me literally crying and just rolling back and forth in such pain that I wasnt breathing so well by the time we finally got there. Poor girl heard one too many cuss words on that trip. Couldnt help it though.
They take me back immeditally. I have to say the ER staff and did a great job with me. They did their best to me taken care of fast!!! They did an ultrasound (and that is just weird to have and not see a baby in there LOL). Confirmed the gallstones. Did bloodwork. All that jazz. Got me some pain meds!!! Hallaulla!! I could swear I heard the choir singing.
The surgical doc came and talked to us (well not so much me..cause I well pretty well dopey by that time LOL). Said my gallbladder was too infected to even operate, and had to wait until the next day..he wanted me upstairs pronto and pumped full of antibiotics!!
Sooo Wednesday afternoon..they took me back and took that aweful thing out!! Doc said it was horrible. It was swollen and thick from all the infection. Full of stones and all the pain was from stones what were stuck in the gallbladder's "neck" so they could pass. Or whatever it is they do. Sooo all my lab work was off. Was getting pancratitis, white count was way too high and some other #'s were off too. As well as my blood pressure was too low!! So weird.
Anyway...so it was a fun filled week at the Marley's house. Glad its over. Glad to be home. My poor kids are all out of sorts since I have been home. Especially my poor Kaity. She screams if I even attempt to look out of her sight.
But I am feeling a little better. Just feel like I have been hit by a semi in the gut is all now!! LOL Anyway..just thought I would share my oh so impressive luck that I have been having LOL.

Ohh and my poor husband..it is his 30th birthday today. I feel like such a shulmb (made up my own word). We werent able to get anything put together for his birthday. And it was a big one to remember too!!! So if you see him..give him crap about being old LOL. I need to figure something out for my poor man!!!
