BIG NEWS!!!!!

Well its official, Klint got a job in Carlsbad New Mexico at Intrepid Potash as a operational accountant ( I think that is what he called it:) ) He starts Nov. 29 th so he will leave the day after Thanksgiving and move down there. I think me and the kids will stay here until after Christmas, and then move down. Unless I hate being a single mom for that long and then we'll head down sooner. I'm so proud of Klint for finishing his Masters in May and now moving on to bigger and better things!!!! Hopefully with experience under his belt from working there, we will be able to move back in the next five years!!!!!

October Fun Part 1!!!

So since we moved to Cedar our internet connection is in and out. Well I have finally learned to save my blog drafts after every pic!! I have been trying to post this for weeks now, and lose it everytime before I can post it! I love fall, and Halloween, it is one of my favorite seasons! Around the first week of October we went to the Staheli Farm in St. George with some of our good friend the Adams! The kids had a blast. They had a pumpkin patch, tractor trains, corn slide, petting farm, ect ect. It was definitely something I would love to do again next year!!I love these two kiddos

A long stay that quickly turned into a short stay!!!!

Well so much for me catching up on my long overdue posts!!!! Trace gets to go home today!!!! He has done awesome, he's eating, drinking, taking his med's orally, walking, and going to the bathroom, all the requirements for a ticket to go home!!! He is going home with a drain tube out his back that he will have to have for two weeks, no swimming, and rest for a while, but then back to normal activity! He will have to come back in 4-6 weeks for ultrasounds and renal scans and hope everything looks great! He is such a sweet boy he hasn't complained and has said thankyou and please to all his nurses and he has been quite the flirt:) I was hoping to post a pic but don't have my cord for my camera:( so I will post some later.

Trace's "Not So Exciting Day"

So we're up at Primary Children's Hospital today for Trace's surgery on his kidneys. We came up to Salt Lake last night so we could come to PCH this morning. It is my first time leaving Peyton (other than when I had to leave her in the NICU) and a first time surgery for Trace so its becoming a new experience for all of us:) His surgery started at 11:00 a.m. this morning and could go from anywhere from 3-5 hours. Little stinker didn't even care that he was leaving us when the doctors wheeled him away, he's a tough little cookie. We'll keep updates on how he is doing, he'll be up here for about a week, so maybe I'll get caught up on some long needed posts!

At last!!!!

I know, I know!!! I'm such a slacker. I had some pics of the kiddos on my cousins computer and since hers is so much faster than mine, I was able to hurry and throw some on. The first pic is of Peyton in the hospital she is five weeks old in this pic and weighed about three and a half pounds.  The next two are when she is three months old. Then in her car seat she is six months and the last three she is seven months!! And of course my buff boy Trace who will be three in three weeks, so crazy. I love being a mom to these two adorable kids. Peyton is SUCH a good baby and Trace is so sweet to her. I'll post more later. 

Super Quick Update!

I had Peyton Friday the 28 th. My labs started coming back bad on my liver and so they decided to start me. What I was told would be a long labor (since she was so early) ended up not being to extremely bad :) She came out crying which was music to our ears, she weighed 2 lbs and 13 ounces and she was 16 inches. She has lost some weight but she is doing awesome. She had to have surfactant put in her lungs to help her breathe, but only had oxygen for a day, which is awesome. She got her iv's out early which is also awesome, and she is tolerating her feedings. She is fed through a tube until she can learn how to eat. She is so alert and funny. The nurses can't believe how good she is doing! She is our little miracle :) I'll post pictures when I have more time.

Slacker! :)

I've been struggling on my post for this summer, I will have to do one big collage post of our summer activities. This summer has flown by so fast, Klint started his MBA yesterday and we're looking forward to a busy semester. I've been on bed rest the last two weeks or so for preeclamsia. It continued to get worse and so I am now in the hospital in St. George until the baby is ok to be delivered. She is only two and a half pounds and is growth restricted so they have given me the steroid shots for her lungs and now I just wait day by day til they say I need to have her. I was brought down in a ambulance on sunday night and I'll be here til she can come. Then Peyton ( what we think we'll name her :) will probably have to stay down here until the end of october. We are praying I stay pregnant til the end of the week. Thanks for all the visits from friends and family its been extremely helpful.
