March Madness!!

What is that you say? It is almost May. Well today I was going through my camera and saw all these fun pictures. I thought I would get everyone caught up on what we've been up to. I also want to thank everyone who left a comment. Sometimes I think we get too overwhelmed with things. But that is what I need friends for, to give me a lift when I'm down. Then kick me back in gear. So here I am today, feeling alot better. (And I snuck out of my bed to download these pictures.........Shhhhhh)
Well these pictures are of St. Patricks day. Always a favorite around here. My kids always try to catch those darn leprechons! This year they constructed a house for them and the idea was to make it so comfortable, they would not want to leave. They even left a bath full of water, motorcycles to ride, all the green food they could find, and left notes for the little rascals too. Usually I help alot but was on bedrest this year so they did a pretty good job. Don't you think?





After all their hard work they were excited to see what they caught the next morning! They could not believe those naughty leperchons weren't there. And they had made a mess of the house they made for them. But first they played on the toys, took a bath, took bites out of the celery and broccli, and wrote back to them on their notes! I don't know how Malarie and Levi knew they did all that but they told me they could tell.They weren't TOO dissapointed though cause even though they didn't catch any again this year, they still left the kids green treats!






The last week of March was Spring break. We had purchased a trial membership at a time share resort a couple of years ago and never ended up using the remainder of our points. So we decided to go to Scottsdale for the week and use it up. Dusty of course couldn't come until the weekend so we asked my parents to come. My mom and I and all the kids left Wed. and Dust and my dad came on Fri. afternoon. We stayed until Monday. Most of the trip was relaxing. We just sat around and ate and went swimming. Ok shopping was involved too.






Friday morning we headed out to get a knee pad for Levi for wrestling. He had his first big tournament in the valley the next day and dad said he had to have it. So my mom and I were off on this wild goose chase! Logan didn't sleep too well the night before. But I didn't really think too much of it until about an hour and a half into our fun, I looked back in his car-seat and could tell he just didn't feel good. I felt his head and he was pretty hot too. So we went to a few more stores, finally we found one that would fit. After I got back in the car, I felt Logan again cause he looked worse. He was BURNING up. I called my insurance to see where we could take him. We got to the urgent care pretty quickly and they got him in. His temp was 104.4. They gave him a suppository Tylenol and it started working pretty quick. They checked his ears. Fine. They checked for Step. Fine. So they asked to do a chest x-ray. The Dr. thought it could be pnemonia. So we left to pick up his antibiotics. Dusty and my dad came and met us at Walgreens. I gave him his medicine and we were off to the resort. On the way back, Logan threw up until there was nothing left in his system. We got back, cleaned him up and I sent Dusty to the store for a thermometer and some gatorade. He got back and I had been trying to give him a tiny bit of water every 20 min. and he wouldn't keep any of it down. We took his temp again and it was 103.7 and rising so we headed to the ER. Fun fun. By the time they took his temp it was 104.6. He was miserable and lathargic. They retook a chest x-ray and said they didn't see any pnemonia but did see a mass in his lung that wasn't normal and that they were worried about. They asked to do a CT scan. After the Ct scan they still couldn't figure out what it was. They wanted him to stay on antibiotics and get another CT scan when we got home. So they sent us home. It was 2:30am and 6:45 was when we needed to get up to get Levi to the tournament. Oh that night sucked!!






So besides me being so grouchy and Dusty so tired, we made it through the tournament. Levi didn't place but did AWESOME! We were both so proud of him. So we did finally just get Logan's results back. And THANKS to alot of prayers. There was nothing. The mass was GONE!!!!
