Friday we went to the temple to see Danny's brother and his wife get sealed in the Monticello temple.
Monday was 4th of July fun. Blanding goes all out. First we went to the city parade.
After we went over to all the booths set up and had some lunch and watched Danny and his family play in the horseshoe tournament. We went back home to play in the little swimming pool to cool off and for a bbq then we headed back over to watch the fireworks. Blanding has the best firework show! It was a great weekend!
When we got home I had to take a picture of Kayzee's bruises she got from playing hard outside while we were in Blanding. Pretty sure she got them from climbing on and off the trampoline.
When we got back we went to the American Fork Steel Days Carnival. We go every year with our neighbor friends. This year both my kids were tall enough and only wanted to go on the big rides!!! Too much fun!
Memphis was nervous about getting his tonsils out and the hospital offered a pre-op hop for kids to tour the hospital and learn about what would happen the day of his surgery. It was perfect and the kids loved it. They even got to bring home a ton of stuff and get a slushy!
The day finally arrived and Memphis got his huge tonsils out! Memphis' dr said they were some of the biggest he has removed from a little boy his age. And they had stones in them so he is so glad he took them out now instead of needing emergency surgery later in life if we didn't take them out. Right after they wheeled Memphis away to surgery a boy in the next room just came back from getting his tonsils out and he literally cried for an hour. I was nervous about Memphis coming back but he did great. He didn't even cry at all. The only bad part was he kept throwing up.
Here is Memphis right before they took him back to surgery. The nurses gave him the donated blanket and the dr gave him the teddy bear:)
One day the pain was so bad he kept throwing up and couldn't keep medicine down. And of course the throwing up was so bad it was everywhere so I had piles of clothes and sheets and blankets to wash and Memphis wanted a bath. I went in and filled up the tub but it was freezing! NO HOT WATER! I went to do laundry and no hot water either. Danny checked our water heater and the pilot light would not stay lit. I started crying along with Memphis at this point. I heated up some water on the stove and while Memphis stood in the shower I dumped it on him to clean him up and warm him up. My wonderful neighbor came over and took all the bedding and clothes and washed them at her house. THANKS! Danny figured it all out and bought a $12 part and fixed our water heater! So grateful we didn't need a whole new one. Saved us a thousand dollars!
We have had so many wonderful people help us out. So many neighbors and friends and family have come and taken Kayzee for the day so I could try to take a nap while Memphis took a nap so I didn't have to worry about taking care of her. I turned into a mombie (mommy zombie) not getting any sleep for a week. My visiting teacher showed up every day with a dr pepper for me and a slushie for Memphis. I have a fit bit that tracks my sleep and this was basically how I slept every night...basically morning-not cool. I think because Memphis cried all night we finally fell asleep in the morning exhausted.
Saw this online and thought it was fitting. Danny didn't think it was funny but I can totally agree! I knew this whole experience would be over but it certainly wasn't fun while it lasted.
Memphis also has told me to sit and relax all day and that he would take care of me. Memphis is seriously the sweetest son a mom could ask for. I asked him why and he said since I took care of him this whole time it's his turn to take care of me. AWWWWWWW.
I have loved snuggling with Memphis all day and night but I am missing my Kayzee snuggles. She is at her cousin's right now in Ogden. She was just going to stay Friday night but she was having so much fun she is staying till Monday. I am catching up on my sleep though so that's good. And good timing because I have to go back to work tomorrow. I got a summer grant and I have to meet with the 2nd grade team for the next 3 days. It's going to be rough trying to wake up in time because I have been sleeping midnight-9am the last couple nights. We will see if I can wake up and be at school by 8 am!
All packed and ready to spend the weekend with her cousins.
While Kayzee was going to the Preschool Day Care the last two years she made a friend. They were inseparable at school and they both cried on their last day. Luckily her mom wrote me a note with her phone number which I found later in Kayzee's backpack and I called her up. We met at a park and decided they needed to be friends forever so we take turns letting them play together at each other's houses. And every friday during the school year after school she is going to be picked up by her friend's mom and spend the day together till I get off work. Friends are the best!
Getting stronger ever day and getting some definition in my arms. Now to work on my eating!
