Oh the weather outside is FRIGHTFUL!

Hello all you bloggers!! Sorry it has been such a long time since I posted something lol. Having 2 kids has kept me plenty busy and to be quite honest lol my blog page was having issues loading photos and such when I tried to post a little while ago lol. So here is a quick update on all of us.



Anthony: he is doing great in school and loving it. We are both really really excited that he only has one semester left. He just finished no shave november and has a full huge beard, and I can honestly say I'm thrilled for him to shave it all off!! lol Hes cute no matter what but its just so scratchy! lol (it is for this reason that he has a beard in his pictures below lol)



Kailey: I am doing well, just staying busy with the kids and getting ready for christmas and such nonsense. We are so excited!!! We put up our christmas tree the day after thanksgiving an elly loves to play with it, unfortunately lol. I am trying to keep a clean house and all that jazz and still trying to get back in shape. Man how I wish there was a magical pill that just melted this flab off and made me buff again. A little discouraging but im working on it.



Elly: She is talking up a storm and getting so big! shes almost 21 months old and I still cant believe how advanced she is. She can tell me when and what she wants to eat and drink, if she has an owie she tells me. She also tells me when she poops and when she pees. I should probably start potty training but we'll see how ambitious I get.



Ian: He is my little chunky monkey! At his last appointment he was 16 pounds and 24 and half inches long. Hes rolling all over and itching to crawl. I was hoping to have a sedentary baby for a little while but alas he is much like his sister in how fast hes been picking up on things. He loves rice cereal and were getting ready to try baby food on him. He is also currently working on his bottom two teeth and has been a little grumpier than usual but is still such a happy sweet boy. He loves to jump and laugh and he and elly have a grand ol time together.



Ok so the image uploader is being GAY so if you wanna see the family pictures I was gonna post go to my facebook page. Sorry I wish it was working but its not! Dumb thing.

Baby Ian Kell is Finally Here!!!

He's Here!!! YAYA
Little Ian's journey decided to end a week late. So at my appointment my dr stripped my membranes and we set and induction appointment for the next morning at 6 AM. Well after my membranes were stripped i started to have more painful contractions but they were like 20 min apart. Anthony's mom showed up around 5 and we went to dinner at wingers around 530. Well during dinner my contractions were about 7 min apart and getting more painful, but we werent going to go into the hospital unless my water broke because they just sent us back home with elly. Well anyways, after dinner they were steadily getting closer. We then got a phone call from my mom saying my grandma mitton had a brain hemmorage and was unconcious and probably wouldnt make it. So we headed to the hospital and my dad said to just go up to the L and D ward because they were going to life lite grandma to IF . At this point my contractions were 3 min apart. When they checked me in they said they would keep me for an hour and see if they were dialating me at all. (at my dr appointment I was a 2 and when we got to the hospital i was a 3) anyways a half an hour later (9:15 pm) I told the nurse my contractions were alot harder and closer and that i thought my water had broke. It had and I was dialated to a 4. So they checked me in officially and the contractions got much worse and much faster. So I wanted my epidural but they had to call the guy to come in, so an hour later I'm screaming for my epidural " i want an epidural dammit" (yes everyone laughed lol) and while thye were giving e the epi i felt tons of pressure(keep in mind right before i got the epi i was a 6) so right after i had the epi someting still hurt so they checked me and i was ready to push. So in 3 and half hours of labor and 5 pushes little ian arrived and we love him so much! 6 pounds 13 ounces and 21 inches long. hes perfect and we love him.

mommy so happy hes here :)
Elly loves her brother and is an amazing to him gives him kisses hugs and is amazing :)

Our Spring Break Adventure...

Our spring break this year has been full of crazy adventures.
Monday was pretty normal, we hung out and was lazy all day. Elly was a little fussy that day and we thought it was just teething. We went and hung out with the Haynies and had lots of fun, I left at 11 and anthony came home at 1 lol. When I got home I changed elly's diaper and saw these little hive like bumps around where the edge of her diaper was. I didnt think much of it and put some diaper rash cream on it and put her to bed. She was super grumpy that night and didnt sleep well at all.
Tuesday. I woke up and got elly out of bed and she was covered in a rash and hives arms legs and a little on her face back and chest. I had no idea what it was and was kinda scared so I called her dr and we took her in later that day. He said it was probably contact dermititus and put her on a benadryl regiment. It made her more sleepy and a little more managable so we thought it was making her feel better. She still wasnt quite herself but she was acting better. So we put her to bed and she woke up 2 times so anthony gave her a blessing and she slept a little longer. Then woke up at 3 and wouldnt stop screaming and the rash looked worse and finally we got her to sleep at 5 and she woke up 2 more times.
Wednesday. When she woke up the rash was a little better(or so we thought ) on her arms and legs it had turned more of a light brown not red, but the hives and rash got worse and bigger on her chest. Anthony had his Actuarial exam that day so I spent the day with a screaming very clingy child, and felt horrible cause I couldnt do anything for her. It is the worst feeling in the world feeling so helpless, expecially when you love something so much. So we called her dr and he couldnt fit us in so we ended up taking her to the ER around 6 and when we got there they told us it looked to be an allergic reaction to the ammoxicilin that she had just finished taking for her ear infection. They said she was probably allergic to the penicyllan in it. They gave her a shot of addrenlilin since her toes were starting to turn purple from lack of circulation and swelling. (which was horrifying) then they gave her 3 doses of zyrtec and it was amazing to see how the rash and hives started to get lighter in color and fade.
Thursday we woke up after only waking up once. She looked so so so much better her face almost cleared(although she hates taking her medicine) and her body clearning up nicely. I took her in for her follow up appointment and they said shes looking so much better and that the meds she is taking is making her better.
So to my relief my daughter is fine, still a little fussy but so much more like herself. Fighting sleep right now as we speak but she is playing and eating and being elly and I cant tell you how horrifying it was to see the reaction to the medicine. I am so greatful for the power of the priesthood and my husband being worthy to hold it. I am also so greatful for dr's who know how to help my baby girl feel so much better. Needless to say it was not fun but I am SO happy its almost over. I love my family and I love my baby girl and shes doing awesome now :)
Thats my spring break fun, hopefully the weekend is more fun haha.

Happy Birthday Elly Dear!

One Year ago today I gave birth to a beautiful baby girl, at 5 pounds 13 ounces she was teeny but so amazing and perfect. I still remember in vivid detail the labor and the first cry, everything :) My labor was super easy and pretty short for my first kid, 9 hours and in 15 min of pushing she came right out. I remember feeling such an overwhelming sense of love and amazement that such an amazing thing came out of me. That love has just increased and continues to increase with every laugh every word. My beautiful smart girl started rolling over at 2 months and crawling at 5 1/2 months and walking at 9 1/2 months. Shes always been a mover and a shaker and so smart! She will say mama, dadda, bobba, she'll sign more and please and want. there are so many other things she does. I just wanted to publicly say how much i love her and how proud of her i am! I love you elly!!!
Love Mommy!
