Saturday Cleaning

I know for some people, Saturday is a big day for cleaning. I try to get my cleaning done during the week so I can enjoy my Saturday, but somehow there are still always things that need done! For instance, I just finished cleaning footprints off of my TV!! Hmmmmmm. I wonder how those got there?!!!!

Enjoy your Saturday cleaning!

A little catch up... Taybri's Blessing

I've been such a slacker on posting, so slowly I am going to try and catch up. Ryman's baptism is coming up this weekend, so I figured I better get Taybri's blessing posted. We blessed her on June 6. We had so much family come, it was a great weekend! Dean gave her a beautiful blessing and it was a very happy day. She has been such a blessing for our family. I feel like we waited so long to get her here, there are days I walk in the room to pick her up and I still can't believe she's mine!
Brylie was blessed in a dress that my great-grandmother made. So, when I asked my mom if she would make Taybri's, she found a way to make it just as special. She used silk that my grandpa Candrian brought back from the orient over 40 years ago, tatted lace that my great-grandma made over 50 years ago, and the petticoat was made from a hand crocheted pillowcase from my great-grandma over 60 years ago. It was beautiful!!! I crocheted the booties and Dean's mom has made an amazing blessing quilt for each grandchild. Isn't she cute?!!!

Kayden-Surgery? Take it Easy? What?

So, a year ago on Mother's Day we found a large lump on Kayden that we thought was a hernia. Turned out to be a hydrocele (basically like a hernia, but it's water). We went to Primary Children's and they said to give it a year and see if it goes away. Well, it didn't go away, so it was back to Primary Children's yesterday to have it removed. I was SO NERVOUS. I didn't want to hand him over or see him in pain. Plus, it didn't help that everytime we talked to him about it he would ask, "Will I die?" Once we got there though, I felt very grateful for such a great hospital and that we were going in for something so minor. That is such a happy and oh so sad place to be. Well, pictures can probably tell how our day went more than I can, so here you go!

Reading Books in the waiting room, even though there were a TON of toys!

Getting his spiffy new pajamas on, to go to sleep!

Waiting to go in for surgery, more toys, but we are reading books!

Here he is out of recovery with his own TV and snow cone, he could have cared less that we were there.

4 hours later, we are in the car, ready to go home! The nurse gave him chocolate pudding to take in the car and he had it eaten before we pulled out of the parking lot (hence the dirty mouth!)

Dad took us to Maddox for lunch on the way home. Here is the smile of a full tummy! And last but not least, we came home and within 5 minutes of being in the house, he climbed up on the counter. The kids and Dean's parents were waiting for us with balloons and an early birthday surprise for Kayden. We gave him his codeine pain meds, but apparently the chocolate cake counter-acted its effects, because we decided to go for a walk before bed.....

THIS IS LESS THEN 10 HOURS AFTER SURGERY!!!

Thanks Bleazards for the balloons!!
