Happier Days

Of course I have to share Cayz picts because well, let's face it - she's my baby girlfriend, we can't get enough of! She is so sassy :)

*Cojo enjoys dressing up in skirts too, woohoo like her mommy!

Daddy's girl - all the way!

*this girl LOOOOOVES Shoes!!! -- & she has about 30 pair... uh oh we might be in for it!

*Mmmm she has such yummy "Flintstone feet" - they are getting pudgy :)

Yeah she's pretty squeezable!

*Cayz Birthday outfit - pretty sure from now on I will be purchasing them rather than making them! (I'm too OCD)

**Thanks Kel, as always THE BEST- Love you to your very guts!** Can't wait to get the rest of the Fam done :)

Lemons in Life

IF LIFE GIVES YOU LEMONS....... START CHUCKING THEM AT YOUR MORTGAGE COMPANY'S BUILDING!!!!!!!!

*That is how I feel right now -- enough said!

Gram Gram's Meds, not Candy!

We had quite the scare yesterday, when mom found Kai guy with an empty bottle of her Thyroid medicine Synthroid! He had eaten 30 pills- yeah I was freaking out! I called poison control & they told me it was life threatening & we needed to get him to a hospital, then she told me to hold on a second because they may want to call an ambulance. The line then got cut off & I was a little panicky, to say the least. I called back & she told me after putting in the figures & dosage amounts that we could just wait it out & not go to the ER. WHAT?! After telling me life threatening, ambulance craziness I was still worried. She told me the symptoms would kick in, in about 12 hours - 3 days & to watch him. The symptoms were: fever, redness, flushed, clammy, diarrhea, vomitting, agitated, racing heart rate, severe headache, hyperactivity, restless..... OH JEEZ, is that all?? I hung up, Jason gave him a blessing & he fell asleep in my arms for an hour. I called my doctor, who is our Bishop of our Little Valley Ward :) & we completely trust. They called me back & were pretty concerned, telling me not to wait & go right to the Emergency Room!

I rushed down to the hospital & carried him in. Right as I told the nurse/front desk person what had happened, they immediately got us to the back! They were also concerned like my Dr. & worried that it had been 2 hours now since he took them. After checking all his vitals & the ER Doc came back - he said he would divise a plan.

I'm thinking "PLAN?, okay what are we going to be doing- pumping his stomach?" Anywho, after about 15 minutes he came back & said he spoke with Dr. Thompson & Poison Control & with his weight & the dosage he took, it wasn't as threatening as they thought. The numbers were 1.6 & they get really nervous if they are 2 or higher.

Soooooo, they told us to take him home & watch him for 2 -3 days & make sure the symptoms don't get out of hand. -Not sure how out of hand that means, but I've been watching him like a Hawk! He has had more energy & has acted a little more silly than usual, but thank heavens he's okay. We are praying he stays that way & we don't have to go through any wild symptoms.

Kai enjoyed playing on my phone in there & then kept saying he was all better & ready to go home. He was very excited about the bracelet he got to take home with his name on it. :) He kept repeating himself while we were in the room there "T-E-K-A-I, dat is my name, Dakai - I get to take dis home & show da kids!" The nurses & Docs were all very sweet & just loved him. Me too :) he was happy about the popsicle they gave him also & pinky promised me to NEVER get into any medicine again!!

Judas, we pray that doesn't happen ever again!!

*** I had to add to this post 3 days later: Kai has had horrible symptoms: severe headache, fever, chills, clammy, vomitting, heartrate racing & just miserable! My poor little guy :( this has been a nightmare, he is having all these reactions like drug addicts who go through withdrawls....

We are praying this passes today (Sunday) it started on Friday. ***

Don't Judge Me

I did what I thought I wouldn't do.... yeah, I put Cayzli in a Beauty Pageant! Look, we all know I love to doll her up, dress her up, do her hair, put the whole ensemble of cute stuff on her. Well, 1/2 the time we are all dressed up with nowhere exciting to go... & then my friends tell me about this Miss American Starlet Pageant. I've got to be honest: whenever I hear starlet, I think of a sleezy actress or something- haha! don't be offended! Anywho, I decided what the heck- one pageant could be fun. Plus, she is little enough, that she wouldn't care about winning. :) --- & then, she did WIN!!! Bonus woohoo!

*My pretty princess.... oh, I guess Queen!! (Leesa my sis-n-law made this dress-soo talented!)
*Cayzli (Co-jo) hanging out with her bestest Maizy (Mo-jo)
*The proud Family picture - her crown kept falling off. Cayz liked the light up trophies more than her Big one! -haha She also won Miss Photogenic (thanks Kel for the awesome pictures)

*We had a Fun time together- dancing & clapping! The boys were so cute with her too - they are excited because she won 3 nights in Palm Springs for the family :) at an awesome resort with 42 pools--that is what Creed keeps talking about :) This is where they have the "Nationals" - so, we'll see.

Tekai Guy is 3

*Tiki Man sportin' his shirt Creed made him it says: "Today is my Birthday!" Love his sweet smile :)

*this is the "water bottle" cake he insisted on having!! gotta love this kid & his originality!

I can't believe 3 years ago I had this little strawberry colored hair baby boy. I had a few scares with that pregnancy & I thought we would be good with the 3 boys. The first thing I said when they lifted him up from the barrier thing(C-sections) was, "Oh my gosh, I'm not done!" My doctor laughed & said he had never heard anyone say that in the delivery room. He is our "sweetest littlest" - boy that is!


Kai was the smallest of my boys: 6 lb. 10 oz. 18 1/2 in. but that has not stopped him from growing as big as Treygen & thinking he is as big as Creed!


Some of the things we love about Tekai:


1- His bubbly personality!!


2-Kai is almost always happy, smiling & saying the funniest things: "yesiree" "No-way" "probby" "ah-dangit" "one cool dude"


3-He is loud & fun just like the Brown's!

*Jason did his infamous buzz cut again, & this time he suckered Treygen into doing his too! Which is funny, because he is not easily convinced of doing things :) Treyg likes to be like Daddy. I think they are both a couple of hotties!

Treygalish 5

Treygen had another birthday - woohoo "5" for this dude! We celebrated at Jumpin' Jacks & he was the daredevil of all of them! He didn't want cake or ice-cream, that's how he rolls! haha :) But I decided to make him a brownie cake while he was shopping with Gma.

Treygen James weighed in at: 7 lb. 7 0z. 20 in. long - my biggest boy at birth. He has since changed that. He has the Curtis metabolism :) & is long & lean.

Here are just 5 things we loove about our Treyg's:

1- He is very considerate of his bro's & friends feelings- always giving to others!

2- He is way kicked-back & goes with the flow

3- He loves to go for bike rides with his mom ("Zeke"), he is "Luther"

4- Treyg is not influenced by others- he is unique. He wears shorts all the time & doesn't care if it's cold outside- he's not cold, he's wicked awesome!

5- He is a thinker & smart at remembering things. He likes to tease & act like he doesn't know things (like #'s & letters) & then we'll play games & he picks these things out like No Big Woop! When he was 3 I thought he was color-blind. We would ask him what a certain color was & he would say the exact opposite! (Big time Tricker!) His pre-school teacher said he was so smart & a real thinker :) He keeps us on our toes!

Happy Birthday Treygeater the Heater- We love you!

*Candles in the shape of a "Y" - he loves BYU, go Cougs!

I have been horrible about posting lately. I am just "jacked up" on this GrenX product that I love! I get doing so many things & don't realize how the time gets away from me-- ahhh! Anywho, I am addicted (in a good way) to GreenteaHP. It has given me energy I have lacked for awhile now, & with no Crash! It is amazing stuff that is healthy & FDA approved :)
