Thank You

I would like thank anyone who was involved in helping my Brother-In-Law, Rolando, survive his recent car accident. By the grace of god, by the grace of Mother Nature, by the grace of the universe or whatever you particularly believe in; he survived.

He was coming home from work last week when traffic came to a sudden halt and he was rear ended. His truck flipped and landed upside down. Thankfully, he didn't get knocked out. He woke up, realized he was upside down and said he smelled gas. Then he heard a lady in the distance say: "Oh my god, it is on fire." That is when he realized he had to get out. He found a way out through the back window that had been shattered so he crawled out by himself. Amazingly, he is totally OK.

What a reminder: live every day, it is precious.

We love you Rolo.

Some fun...

We also had some nice play dates with friends. It is so nice to see the kids starting to really interact with friends and learn to play/socialize. They are finally at an age where they are “getting” it.

With their twin pals Chase and Blake. They are mostly a unit to Teagan and Wyatt. They can't tell which one is Chase and which one is Blake, so they just call them: "ChaseBlake".

Having a play date at Alissa and Brody's house is so much fun because these two literally just ate the entire time we were there! Too much yummy food in that house!!

Easter

We had a great time at my parents Ranch for Easter. This year, as every year, the highlight was the Easter Egg hunt. My parents hid over 350 eggs on their property for the little ones and the bigger ones.
Once you collect all of your eggs: you empty them for the goodies! Then you get to trade in all your empty eggs for prizes.

Then when we got home from the Ranch we discovered the Easter Bunny had visited Teagan and Wyatt’s room. He left these adorable Easter baskets filled with play-doh, bubbles, books and a couple of eggs with Jelly Bellies (favorites in our household.) The Easter Bunny also left these “awesome” skate boards that Wyatt is just in LOVE with. I can already see our next E.R. visit! J

Whew

What a couple of months it has been! It seems like the kids have been sick, or REALLY sick for the last 8 weeks non-stop. I will spare all the details, but lets just say you don’t want your kids or yourself to get the nasty stomach flu that is going around. It lasts for one week, features temperatures of 103 to 104 degrees, the inability to keep anything down for at least 24 hours as well as frequent “burps” into a bowl. L It was a rough time around here as both kids had this and Wyatt was so sick we had to stay in the hospital with him for a 24 hour period to get some IV fluids and IV antibiotics into him.

BUT….drum roll please….everyone is doing MUCH better these days and we are so thankful. Health. Don’t take it for granted. (Sleep either for that matter!)


This is a picture of Teagan and Wyatt during a 24 hour period no one got off the couch. They literally slept all day on the couch unless they got up to go potty. It was so sad....but hopefully these days are behind us!! Come on summer - where ya at????!!!
