flu shots and weekly highlights
have you been vaccinated?
Maren showing off one of the many bright bandages we recieved Friday.
Maren, Celiese, Luke, and I all went to get the flu shot and other needed shots Friday. I must tell you...I was stricken with ANXIETY over the whole thing. I took all 3 kids by myself! I'm so used to having a mom around to go with and I had to drive to provo (30 min away) to a place i'd never been. I packed a bag of ammo: snacks, coloring books, and reading books. When we got there, I saw another mom with 3 kids going in..."oh" I thought, "i can do this!" And we did...Celiese got away a couple of times as you might guess..but Utah ppl are used to kids and let me know where she was. Now for the SHOT REACTIONS: Maren was the most dramatic. She cried and had a look of terror on her face when she was done. Celiese grimiced a bit then picked out a sticker. Luke screamed and Maren, who had just started to calm down, started crying and the look was back in her eyes! She was so worried about her little brother. I smiled because I was first and had to show the kids it was okay. Afterwords I felt so EMPOWERED (not from the shots) for a job well done! Whew...for now. We need to go back for the second dose of flu shots for Luke and Celiese in a month.

Adam and Kayla...thanks again for the game cube. It keeps all 4 of my kids and my brother entertained while I blog!


This is for Bryan and Vance. They had one of these green mnts and played with it for hours when they were little.

The legacy of curls continues! When Luke gets out of the bath his hair curls up.




Celiese and her heels! Every day...seriously..she puts these on and tromps around the house. It is so funny, when I think about it I just crack up laughing. She talks a lot now and says the most hilarious things. What a joy!

Who looks most alert in the morning??





Maren and Celiese play so well together at times...they like to put eachother to bed, take care of their babies, and make me dinner! Our favorite games lately are duck duck goose with the other kids at the park and hide and go seek.

Bethany - Your kids are so cute and funny. I loved the pic of cel in heels. It made me laugh and I can just picture her tromping around the house in them. Luke is getting so big. He has a whole new look to his face since I saw him. I hope you are doing good. :O)
