SOOO SICK

So this week has not been fun at our house. I have decided that I am TIRED of being thrown up on. Why is it that dad can hold them forever and then as soon as they see and reach for mom they do a MASSIVE puck bomb all over her? Not fair, but oh well. Tuesday morning about 2:00 a.m. Karston starts throwing up and continues until about 11:00. He was averaging about 2 times an hour sometimes more so when Bile started to come out mom and dad decided to take him in. We took him into Redicare because it was like 6:00 in the morning I will never do this again. Well it turned out that the poor little man has a massive ear infection in both ears. Now you see with Karston we never know if his ears are bothering him because he LOVES ears. He plays with his ears, my ears, Doug's ears etc the point is if you have ears he WILL play with them. Then they found that he is COMPLETELY congested and it is incredibly thick which is causing the gagging and throw up. Well they decided they wanted to do an IV on him to help push all that mucous around so that he will be able to secrete it better because he wouldn't drink, or if he did drink he wouldn't keep it down which would then cause him to choke on the THICK mucous. Well in a few seconds an ARMY of men came in to hold him down. Now I am sorry, but If I was only 1 and a bunch of strangers were holding me down and I can't see my mom or dad I would be a little scared too. Then the poking started Poke #1 Got it then they moved his arm and lost it. Poke #2 Well maybe there is a vein here oops no guess not (Nurses start swearing at each other and were VERY unorganized... MOM AND DAD getting VERY VERY upset.) Poke #3 Well lets go in the same vein we used for poke #1 HMMMMM shoot BLEW that one. Well lets try his hand or feet.... MOM: "NOPE you are not poking him anymore you are torturing him" Mom grabs Karston and begins to tell them they can't just assume there is a vein there without making sure first. I have seen blood draws, IV procedures enough to know the proper way to check for a vein. Mom takes him home and FORCES fluids down like crazy. By night He is feeling a little better. Wednesday comes Doug says he dosn't feel well sure enough 2:00 in the morning comes and Doug begins to puke and he continues for the next 12 Hours till I make him go to the Dr.(Mostly because when he pukes it's sounds HORRIBLE which just listening to him almost makes me want to puke)Doctor decides that he needs an IV. Doug gets IV with some Fenegran he is in heaven. Comes home and crashes. Sleeps well all night. Friday morning... Mom is up fixing breakfast Karston comes to get her mom picks him up and again MAJOR BARF BOMB all over mom... LOVELY! Mom starts crying, Karston starts pucking and pooping. I tell ya what... I now am the proud owner of the new perfume called "POOBARF JUST FOR MOMS." Going on about 2 hours of nothing right now hopefully it is all done and HOPEFULLY mom doesn't get a turn!


When he would throw up he would just lay his little head on the sink and do this sad sad whimper. Mom cried A LOT.

Poor little guy!

Doug resting for 5 minutes in between visits. Poor man!

Thank you for your patience, thank you for always working so hard, thank you for letting me do my favorite job and letting me stay home to be a mommy! All these things are wonderful, but the biggest thank you I can ever give is.... THANK YOU for being worthy to take me to the temple I am so happy that I am with you FOREVER! It has been a great 4 YEARS (not 5 :)just 4) and I can't wait for MANY MANY more! Love you always and forever honey! Have a great day!

ZOOO!!!

The zoo was really fun! Perfect weather and most all the animals were out! Brittany and I learned from the kids that Zebras have really BIG butts, and that none of them would like the giant turtle for their pet. Tippy found her new little love Kiler. She would hold his hand and always want to stand by him or sit by him for any picture we took. Man I love these little kiddos! So cute they all are!

Kiler looking so macho with the girls!

4 LITTLE MONKEYS!

I think Kaeson REALLY loves the Zoo what do you think?

Hello Monkey

Tippy talking with the monkey.. I apparently interrupted their little conversation! Isn't she so cute!

Well we are TIRED of being inside so we decided to take advantage of the great weather and play. I took Karston down to feed the ducks. Needless to say he wasn't to happy with mom when he saw me starting to give some old bread to the ducks. I tried to show him how to tear off some bread and throw it well he got the tearing the bread part down, but then he quickly put it in his mouth and looked up and smiled at me. It was pretty funny. All in all we had a GREAT time!

Happy Birthday to KARSTON!

So okay I know that this is VERY late post, but better late than never right?! Obviously with the title of this blog my little monkey man Karston turned 1! The week of his birthday I was suprislingly having a little bit of a hard time. I can NOT believe how incredibly fast this year has gone. Karston truly has been the GREATEST blessing that has come into this home. He is so happy, and loving, and sooo super sweet. He may look like his momma, but he DEFINATELY acts like his daddy! He is my little thinker. He will keep looking at something until he figures out how he can make it work. Because, of this wonderful little trait he now has figured out how to open the DVD player, the computer CD thingy, the doors, and also he has figured out how a back scratcher works. He loves to sleep and play hard. He is our little social eater. He is our little comforter. Whenever we are having a bad day or anyone for that matter whether he knows you or not he will just snuggle right in and give you lots and lots of loves. He loves spending time with his grandpa's and grandma's, and unlike when he was born HE has found a new love for being NAKED! He takes good care of his momma by rubbing her ears, head, and back. He also puts his little arm under her neck when they are taking a nap and falls asleep with his head ontop of mine! He loves his daddy so much. Every morning we get " HI DADDY" with lots of snuggles and kisses in the mix. He loves kittys and swinging in the swingset daddy built him. If you have ever heard that song "Watching You" by Rodney Atkins that is exactly the relationship he and his daddy have! We love you our little Buckaroo!
