Kaprice's 3rd Birthday

While we were in Medford for Todd and Kinli's surgeries and my de-banding of braces we decided we should celebrate Kaprice's birthday while our family was all together (Todd had already started his new job in a new area so we had already been a part a week). So we headed out to Camp Bennion (Kristi and Ted's new Property) after Church conference we decided to Party it up. Kaprice wanted a Tangled Birthday Party and Aunt Kristi delivered with Tangled Presents while I made the cake.

There was also dancing with cousins

And what's a Party without a trip down the Zip-line with Cousin Sarah

Kinli's Surgery

Our youngest little one Kinli has suffered from chronic ear infections bless her heart. On Oct 3rd we had a friend of ours Dr. Chambers who is an ENT put tubes in her ears. It was well worth the drive to Medford to be surrounded by our friends who happen to be LDS and in the medical field. I felt very comforted as she was carted off by our LDS anesthesiologists and ENT and her 2 nurses. She was all smiles despite having to fast from midnight on. Afterwards she was not so smiley and it turned out that she had 2 HUGE ear infections when they went in to do the surgery. She finally came out of it when she heard her favorite person G-pa talk. And then got happier and happier as bottle after bottle was made for her. A Special thanks to her Aunt Kristi who lent us her "Santa Claus" blanket since we left Kinli's favorite blanket at the farm house. And to Juju who bought her a Lama which is now one of her prized possessions.

Back to Blogging

So after a few yrs of moving every 3mos we've landed in California and my life is calming down a bit. I've decided to jump back on the blogging wagon. It was going to be my New Years resolution for 2012 but I might as well start now. I will be back blogging but don't feel the need to catch up. I'll be starting with the new stuff first and backdating everything else... hopefully in the next month or 2 we can get a family picture taken for the blog since we now have 1 more kid!!

Another Proud Moment?

It never fails that when we go to pick Kya up from school Boston feels like he's going to pee his pants. Well it got so bad that we had to use a empty water bottle. Boston was a little hesitant at first but then he thought he was the coolest kid ever. He even left it by the front door when we got home to show Daddy after work. And told all the neighbors and called Juju.

Where's your boobies?

So Kya was really sick yesterday with Strep and running a really high fever. She was too hot for clothes but didn't want to lay around naked so I found a little hand me down bra (like a little sleeper bra) from her cousin Emma for her to wear. Kya refuses to take it off now, and wouldn't even take it off at the Doctors. So this morning Mia asked her why she was still wearing her bra to which then Boston ran up running his hands across her chest saying " Yeah you have no boobies. Where's your boobies?"

Student of the Month

Kya got student of the month for the month of April after only being a student for 1 month! I was so proud I got a call from her principal saying what a joy all the staff thinks Kya is. It was a total surprise to Kya. I got the call on a Tuesday saying that she would be awarded her T-shirt and certificate that Friday. Of course Kya had to puke all over her class Wednesday and run a dangerously high fever all day. I finally took her to Urgent Care that night when Todd got home and she had a extremely bad case of Strep. We pumped her full of antibiotics and bam she was back to her old self in time to get her big surprise Friday. We were all able to be there for her it was so cute and such a proud moment for Todd and I.
