A Day Spent At Auntie Jerica's House........ENOUGH SAID

My mom took Teague back with her after my surgery to make things easier for me. Well she had to work today so Auntie Jerica watched him. This is Teague's most very favorite place to be and person to be with. I'm pretty sure he had a great day: happy meal, story book park, new bucket and shovel, and ended the day like this. I sure miss my little man, I would even give him a kiss with his face all muddy!! Thanks Jer for being such a great auntie oh and letting me steal these pics off your blog.(Whether you knew it or not)

The Great Outdoors

The weather and a new baby have only allowed us to play outside a few times. If Teague had it his way he would be outside sun up to sun down. We have had fun having picnics in the back yard, and especially playing with our buddies. My friend and I were even brave enough to take a almost 3 year old, 2 year old, and two newborn babies to the movies. There is a theater that plays kids movies during the day, and they change the movie every week. It actually went really well. Teague and Deegan thought that they were so big sitting next to each other holding their popcorn and candy! We figured we wouldn't be out anything if it didn't work. The kids were under 3 so they were free, and Lindsi and I were $2 bucks.

One particular nice day we decided to head up to the mountains with friends to relax and eat dinner. It was so fun to sit back and enjoy being outside. I don't think there is anything better than hanging out with great friends, breathing the fresh mountain air, oh and keeping the boys out of the creek. Which by the way there were quite a few close calls, but we did manage not to have them actually fall in. We laughed at how dirty these boys got after only a few hours. Imagine if we would have been camping for days. I love being in the mountains and can't wait for the next relaxing evening we can spend together.

Partners in crime

Throwing whatever they could find in the water

Taking mommy's chair....he was pretty proud of himself

These two munchkins kinda have a love-hate relationship

They get pretty rough with each other

This is what Mr. Riggs enjoyed doing


We have loved meeting our daddies for lunch at this park and playing. Kyle and Deegan's dad Tim work together so it's a perfect lunch break for everyone.

Can You Say CHEESE

This little monkey is so brave he crawls up anything and everything....and goes flying off the end of the slides into the bark.

Look at that determination

Summer is just getting started we hope the weather will cooperate with us so we can keep having some fun summer days. I love summer and can't wait for all the fun were going to have.

One Less Organ

I guess its been a long time coming.... I have been getting really sick after eating for years and years now. I have just never put things together, and it had never been this bad. Especially when I was pregnant with Riggins I had really bad pains on the right side of my upper abdomen. I just wrote it off, and figured it was him sitting so high up and his feet in my rib cage.

Well I suppose this last weekend it was my body's way of telling me it was time to pay attention. I was at my parents house when it first hit Saturday, I had excruciating pain in my back and the front of my abdomen. Accompanied with my not so favorite nausea and vomiting. My husband was in Featherville putting out bear bate, and it got so bad that I asked my dad for a blessing. He blessed me that I would immediately feel better but I would need to still take care of things. I did get immediate relief and slept like a baby. The next day I felt 100 %. And didn't think twice about things until Monday night when it hit again, although this time 10 times worse. I couldn't breathe, sit, stand, nothing to get comfortable. I normally talk my self out of going to the doctor. I don't know why, I just always do. In this case I am so glad that I didn't.

The doctor examined me and when pushing on my stomach, he found that it hurt when I about flew through the ceiling. He immediately ordered an ultrasound and we soon found out that I had some major gal stones and one was trying to pass on its own. The ultrasound techs words were" Its hot" it was so inflamed and infected it was crazy. I definitely needed my gallbladder out. The doctor called the surgeon and I was told to immediately go to the hospital because I was a ticking time bomb. Not so easy with two little kiddos. Kinda hard to hold back tears and not be scared. We have some great friends down here who took Teague. We took Riggins to the hospital with us so that I could nurse him for as long as possible. My mom and Ellie rushed up so that they could help.

We get to the hospital and find out that there were other emergency surgeries, and since I didn't appear to be in too much pain they pushed me back until the next morning. Good thing I have high pain tolerance!! ;) Which after thinking about it I was glad to have a refreshed surgeon in the morning, and not a groggy one doing it in the middle of the night. Surgery went well, I just had a really hard time waking up from the anesthesia. I now have 4 holes across my stomach, and 1 slice above my belly button. The doctor said that my gallbladder looked awful when he took it out. I'm glad that its out and I can start feeling better.

I am so grateful for the priesthood blessings my sweet husband and father gave me. It makes me grow that much closer to each of them. I am thankful to have them in my life and grateful that they honor their priesthood. I hope my body will recover fast. I don't handle just sitting and not being able to do things on my own. I am thankful for my wonderful mom who seems to always come to my rescue. I don't know what I would do without her!

So now hopefully I will be up to posting some updates and pictures of my sweet little boy. Plus I will have more time than I want sitting on the couch. See ya latter gallbladder I'm not going to miss you one little bit!!
