Will's Worst...

Will is accident prone, we have decided. He has been having some bad luck lately and more to come. Just recently we had to take him to the hospital, he had a fever of 41 degrees celcius, a barking cough and a swelling lip. He got over that, but his lip keeps swelling once in a while. 2 days ago I had just finished mowing the lawn and he tripped right onto the lawn mower! It was extremely HOT and he got a 2nd degree burn up his whole arm, from wrist to pit. We rushed him to emergency and they put some cream on his arm and wrapped it up in bandages. Will was so brave, I couldn't believe how well he handled everything. The only time he'd cry was when he'd look over at his arm, and then he'd say "MOM, MY ARM, IT'S SKINNING!!!" The burn was so bad that his skin just melted right off of his poor little arm and was hanging there. Gross. Now he has to go back to the hospital every morning for a week to 10 days to change the dressing and get his arm checked. We also noticed that his gums had started swelling a few days before his burn, so we made him a dentist appointment that he had to go to yesterday. Turns out Will has a gum infection so he was put on antibiotics and the teeth we thought were just crooked are actually extra teeth and suprise suprise, they need to be pulled out. So we have a consult next week with a sleep dentist. And then possibly soon after that Will gets to be knocked out and have his teeth ripped out. Why is this happening?!?!?! At least Will get's to have an "Iverson Arm" now. Here's a couple pictures of Will sleeping right after we got back from the hospital... Pray for Will, he needs it!!!

I got a new room...

It's been a big week for Aubrey! I finally finished decorating her room ( I just have to hang up the chandelier, but am too scared because I think I'll electrocute myself) and Aubrey has started to crawl!! I can't believe that in only 4 more months she'll be 1 year old! Where does the time go? She was only just a tiny peanut, now she's practically a woman!!! Here are some pictures of the new room, unfortunatly I have no before shots. So now you can't compare the new room to anything, trust me it looks way better!!! Aubrey also can stand up in her crib now and as you can see from the pictures she is REALLY proud of herself.  

We are happy that the pool is finally open in Taber and have been spending lots and lots of time there. If you can't find us at home, go to the pool, we'll be there. We have had a good last couple of weeks, Andy has been working alot but such is life. The kids and I have been doing lots of things, riding bikes, playing outside, going to visit the "mini" horses in Barnwell, playing at the park , etc. etc. Just last week we went to Barnwell for the Grand Re-opening of the Library there. They had a special little ceremony and honoured Grandma Doreen for her vision of a Library for the people in Barnwell. I forgot my camera but it was really nice. They put a little picture of Grandma D on the wall. I was talking with her yesterday and she said even though she made a big fuss about going, she actually had fun. Oh Grandma. It was very deserving and I was proud of her!

enjoy

To all of the devoted fans of this blog here are just some random pictures of our life... Aubrey wedged in the couch cushions, Aubrey starting to crawl, Will and the humungous smile, Andy and Aubrey in love, and a combo of Will's humungous smile and A + A in love. 

bubbles and croup

What a day it has been... I took Will and Aubrey to the doctor today because they had quite bad coughs and thought I would just leave with some advice to give them some cough medicine, turns out that was not the case! I discovered that they both have croup and asthma. Aubrey is worse then Will right now, poor baby lady!! Here is a picture of her not feeling so hot.  So they both now have 2 types of medicine that I have to give them through a nebulizer, which turns the liquid meds into a fine mist, making it easier for them to breathe it in. Both have been on one before but not at the same time. I did the math and both kids get their medicine 2 times a day for about a total of about 15 minutes give or take a few, so each day about an hour is spent medicating my kids. I really wish they'd just get better and stay healthy FOREVER!!! But things are going good other than this. We are settling into our house still and we still love it. We went to our new ward and were treated like celebrities, it's great to be back in 4th ward! A couple days ago Inga came over and brought a bubble machine (what a good invention by the way) the kids all played on the deck and had a really fun time chasing bubbles. I love the picture of Lauren  I think it really captures "the spirit of Lauren". She is hilarious! Ciao.

We have arrived!!

OK!! We are here! We have been super busy moving and unpacking and organizing!! I HATE moving I'm real glad that I won't have to do it again for a very very long time! Here are a couple shots of the new Evanson pad complete with mini-table. Our house is not at all how I would really like it to be, so you'll see lots of before and afters I am sure. I'm so thankful that we are finally home. We feel like we are living in a mansion compared to our old house. Will has TONS of room to run around and play and we can really tell that he loves it! Aubrey, on the other hand has been FREAKING OUT! Seriously she has been bawling for 3 days straight!! Hopefully she pulls it together! Tomorrow is Sunday so Will, Aubrey and I get to go to the new ward, Andy is working (suprise, suprise) so he won't be able to make it.  We are excited because our new ward has quite a few a relatives in it... Uncle Ian and Aunt Deb, Grandpa Wood, and the Bullocks! It's gonna be fun!

Change of plans.....

So for the past week Will and I had been planning to go on a date to the Wiggles concert. We (well mostly I ) were excited to go and party for a couple hours. I wasn't so much excited for the actual show, but just for some special time with Will. We really don't hang out alot just one-on-one since Aubrey is always around!!! The concert was yesterday and Will got SICK!!! He was barfing and "diarrhea-ing" everywhere! Poor Guy! Isn't that how it always works though? So we quickly gave our tickets to Inga and Olers, it looked like they had a fun time, although Olivia was super embarrassed to be there! The ironic thing is that the exact time the Wiggles concert would have started, the Wiggles show came on the tv!! So Will just watched at home clutching the barf bucket for dear life. After the concert was over Inga came and dropped off some stuff she got at the show, a cd, shirt, and best of all a "tar reero" which is a guitar. Will saw it and said , " Look mom Inga buyed me this "tar reero", I had fun at the Wiggles concert!" So in the end no one lost.

What else... we are just packing and packing today, only 6 days until we move and Andrew works 3 of them. We are just getting everything that we can done today , it'll be really interesting to see how little we can live off of in 6 days!! Probably my next post will be from our new house!! 

BYE BYE HOME #1

We did it!! We FINALLY FINALLY sold our house!! YEAH!! So exciting, we are getting ready now to move on out. The sad thing is even though we can wait to get out of our house I'm sure I'll shed a few as we are leaving... This is our first home, we spent so much time working and working to make it habitable! Both of our babies came home to this house. So many great memories. We move on the 22nd of April to our new house. This is going to be fun!

 Nothing really else to report about our lives other then that. Andrew and I have been REAL sick for the last couple of days. We have some strange alien disease, we are freezing cold from our knees down and our heads feel like they are going to explode. Poor Will has been cooped up in the house for 3 days straight and today started to go crazy, walking around babbling and jumping off of anything he could climb up. I felt a little better this morning so I took him out to Dad's and let him run off some steam in the yard. I also just got back from helping Inga paint in their new house, I started to go crazy too so I needed to go do SOMETHING, anything!!! Don't you hate being stuck at home sick and having nothing to do?!?! Well I do!  Above are a few random shots of our family! Will in his gumboots, Aubrey with her new "breeband" and Andy and Aubrey playing.
