Four Jingle Bells

I found this awesome lady on Craig's List when I was looking for water toys the other day. She buys toys/clothes/shoes/arts and crafts, all kinds of stuff and sells it from her house at super low prices. She lives in Aliante and is LDS, not like that is important really, but you know she is safe. And everything is brand new. I got Hailey a barbie for $2 yesterday and a slip and slide for $8. You can't beat that! Here is the listing and her number is on there. Happy Shopping! http://lasvegas.craigslist.org/tag/648798222.html

Hailey has been so fun lately with all of her songs and dancing. I hope this isn't overkill, but I couldn't pick just one!=)

I just love how blue her eyes are in this picture. Working hard "putting stuff in boxes". She has been a great helper during the move.

Bath time is one of his favorite times of the day. I know he is tired of it when he starts dunking his head in the water. Hailey is mostly helpful except when she tries to steal his toys away. He is learning to defend himself though. He is starting to wave. And finally getting his big booty into crawling mode.

The kids sharing the hospital bed. Spencer fell right back on it and smiled. This is the worst Blake's arm got. Gross huh? No, he is not related to the Michelin man. After the surgery...... After the first long day in the hospital. See, I survived.=)

Things are calming down around here with the family. Griffin is doing better. He is almost breathing on his own and his mom was able to hold him and give him a bath today. A few more days in the hospital should do it and no long term effects. Thanks for all your concern and prayers. It is nice to know what great friends we have. Blake is doing much better too. His arm is looking great and is healing more all the time. He will have to see an immunologist to make sure everything is okay there, but besides that should be fine. Hailey and Spencer are both being nice. Thank goodness. I am feeling more calm now that most of these problems are resolved.

So, we thought things couldn't get any harder, but they have. Blake's sister had a baby boy on Thursday morning and he is at primary Children's in Salt Lake because he has underdeveloped lungs and fluid and foam in them. He aspirated when he was born, so we are all very concerned about him. Please pray for this little guy. I don't even have a picture, but I am sure he is such a cutie like his two older sisters. I have had a lot of time to reflect on things recently with all of these crazy events going on in our lives. Today my mom said "We are humble okay?!" But really, sometimes hard things in life happen to bring us closer to our Heavenly Father and help us to realize all he has done for us. Tonight, when I was at TC's viewing, I just kept thinking how he has affected others. Many people I have talked with have said "I want to be more like TC, friendly and happy and smiley." And it makes us all think what kind of legacy are we leaving be...
