Brinley lost her first tooth!!!
On..oh what day was it.. Friday I think it was...
We went to Camilles. I havent been to her house in forever. But we were bored since Scott was gone to Youth Conference and she was bored too. So I decided to take the kids to a field trip to the park with her. We had a great time at the park and Chase actually swung in the swing for the first time without screaming. He loved it.
So Brinley had had a wiggely tooth for forever. But I told her she couldnt lose it until Saturday when Scott would be home with my camera. She didnt listen.
We went to the Orem Arctic Circle for lunch after the park. Brinley and Ty went outside and ate while me and Jentry ate inside. Brinley comes in with something in her hand. I thought it was a piece of fat from the hamburger that she was showing me until I looked closer and saw that it was her tooth! I kinda very loudly (didnt know I was talking so loud) said "YOU LOST YOUR TOOTH!!!" Everyone looks over at us. The girl that was sweeping the floor came over and said, "WOW!! You lost your tooth? That is so cool!!!" She then went up to the front of the store and got them all a sucker and told Brinley what a big deal it was to lose a tooth. Brinley couldnt have been more excited.
Of course I didnt have my camera with me so I had to take a picture with my phone. Today is the first day Ive thought to take a picture. So excuse the messy hair-do.
This was the night that I ended up taking Chase to the hospital so I didnt even get to see the tooth fairy come to her for the first time. Missy did. Thanks Missy!!!
Busy Day...
Yesterday was a busy but fun day...
We started the day off by going to the free summer movie with the Townsend Clan, Frederick Clan, and Our Clan. It was Monsters Inc. The kids didnt last. I think there were too many little ones and they'd already seen the movie 100 times so it wasnt as fun as last time we went.
Then we came home just long enuff to get into our swimming suits and off we went to the Provo Pool. I was still anxious to go there because thats where Jentry got that dang crypto bug last year that she is still having trouble with (dr appt on Friday). But I thought since its the beginning of the swimming season and hopefully they installed new filters...maybe we could get away with it this time.
Lisa was sooooo nice to offer to babysit Chase while we went. I know he would have had fun but I think it would have been short lived. And it gave me time just to play with Ty. So off we went to the pool with The Townsend Clan, The Jasperson Clan, Our Clan and Livvy
Ty went down the waterslides with me twice and he loooooooved it. The first time he was clenching onto my fingers on the way down saying "So Fun!" He would put his head under the water and come up wide eyed saying "I got my hair wet!" When we first got into the pool and he got his shorts wet he kept trying to take them off telling me his pants were wet. He couldnt understand that they were supposed to be wet.
We had a great day. The girls kept telling me thank you all the way home. They had had so much fun!!!

Yuba Take Two!!!
Alright this was a muuuuuuuuch better day. We went on Saturday . It was hot and breezy. We got there at about 10 or so. Who knows, its vacation...who is keeping time? Bethany and Missy brought two lover boys with them. It was a good day to go to the lake.
We just mostly hung out all day. Took a ride on the boat. This was Chases first time and Ty's second (tho Scott thinks it was his first...we wont tell him it wasnt) The boys wouldnt take a nap all day and I knew the second we put them on the boat they would be zonked. Well, I was half right. Chase fell asleep but Ty didnt fall asleep until we were almost done.
I took pictures of all the kids by their names in the sand. Notice how there are two pictures of Kalvin...and he is by two different names. Im so dumb. I didnt even notice I was taking pictures of the same kid...two different names. And did he tell me? No.
The boys, once again loved the water. they couldnt get enough of it!! I think we should do the Yuba thing more then once a year... hint. ;-)

This kid will be the death of me...
This is just a copy and paste from what I wrote on the boards... but I dont wanna edit right now. Im too tired. So... enjoy...
Yesterday I was cleaning my room. Chase was up by me and he got a blue crayon. He bit the tip off the back. And I looked over at him. Told him.. "Chaaaase!" and went over and got all the pieces out of his mouth. He was gaggy a little like he had some in his throat. So I took him over to the sink and rinsed out his mouth. Gave him a drink. No big deal. I put him down to play and he coughed a little bit. But was fine. Went around playing...and he was wheezing a little bit when he would get worked up. So I picked him up, calmed him down. His wheezing would almost stop. So I would put him down and let him play and the wheezing would start up again. Not really anything that was bothering him.
So of course I get on the computer and ask Alexis. She helps me calm down a little bit. I look up the insta care thats around here for hours and a phone number. I decide to call MIL and ask her what she thinks. She tells me...well just take him to the insta care and see what they say. Ill send down Missy. I call the instacare and ask them if they have time to see a 15 month old. They said WE CLOSE AT EXACTLY EIGHT.
So I just leave Ty and Brinley with Jentry cause I have 30 minutes to get to the instacare and I dont wanna be late and have the door slammed in my face :rolleyes
So I get there. Im telling the receptionist while Im there and shes like...let me go talk to a nurse. So Im like.... oooook. Thinking they are going to tell me Im some paranoid freak and to go home.
The nurse lady comes up and she says we dont have the imaging equipment to help you so you will have to go to the ER. I said... ooook. Do you think this is serious? And Im holding Chase and she leans over and listens (and of course he is not wheezing cause Ive been holding him) and she says...well if it would make you feel better...go to the ER.
Soooo I go out to the car. thinking...what the crap, Im not going to go sit in the ER waiting room for 3 hours for them to tell me hes fine. Im not going. Somehow I find myself on the freeway going to the ER. :rolleyes :lol The whole way cussing myself at how dumb Im making this. But I thought Id already called MIL...she'd be asking me how he was doing...Missy was already down at the house so I might as well go. Thought about turning around 20 times.
Get in there and theres only one patient ahead of me. what the heck...this place is usually paaaaaacked. And on a Friday night? So we get right in. They take two xrays. HE did great on them. The guy said he was the best 15 month old hes ever had and he talks more then any 15 month hes ever heard. I was thinking...well then...if nothing else at least I got a few compliments. :lol
So I go back in the room and a lady dr comes in. She listens to him and she says okkkk Ill be right back after I look at his films. Doesnt act like anythings wrong. So she comes back in and listens to him again and she tells me... "Well his right lung is dimnishing and there is definitely something in there. I cant see anything on the xrays but his breaths are diminishing on the right side. We dont have a pediatric dr. here who can go down and scope it so you will have to go to Primary Childrens for that." Im thinking..holy crap. She said that they would get an IV started and call P.C. So she goes out and I get on the phone with MIL. I tell her all about it and she said...well do you want Les go to up there with you (FIL) cause she was leaving on a trip to Boston. I said...Well I want someone to! Will you call Lisa (SIL). Lisa is the one that is Adrians mom so she stayed up at PC for four months. She knows the ins and outs up there. And I didnt wanna go up there alone. (all this time I havent called Scott. Hes 4 hours away and didnt bring a car so I knew he had no way to get home and he would just FREAK when there was nothing he could do). So Lisa comes to the hospital. They call an ambulance to come transport us. Try to put an IV in. Blew two veins on his one arm and finally got one in his other arm. They had him wrapped in a blanket so he wouldnt flail around. Once that blanket was off of him he wanted nothing to do with it. He was so mad at it. :lol
So the ambulance takes FOREVER. Like 45 minutes. FIL and MIL get there and FIL gives Chase a blessing. The ambulance gets there and they ask me for his car seat. Who would have thought that they needed his carseat. They strapped it to the gurney and we are off. Lisa is driving my car behind the ambulance. Chase slept the whole way in the ambulance. I mean it was like midnight by then so he was beat. I called my parents on the way up there. They were at work. We get to Primaries and get into an ER room. They are PACKED!!! It took an hour and half for a doctor to get to us. She comes in. Listens to him. Acts like its nothing. Says ok...do you know what they are going to do? I said they said they were going to go down with a scope and get it out. She says yeah and tells me she will be back . (she never came back)
then...dr. MCCOOL comes in. Hes like 20 I swear and he was in a daze. Looks like he just woke up. Hes like....(insert teenager surferish talk here) soooooooo Im the resident ENT. What happened? I tell him the story and hes like.. ohhhh so why did he have a crayon? I look over at lisa and look back at him and Im like...ummmm I dont know, he just had it. Hes like...ohhh so what color was it? Im like blue. :para and hes like...ohhhh ok. Soooo we are going to take him to the OR. And Im thinking...YOU? YOU DR MC COOL are going to take My baby to the OR? I look at Lisa and mouth to her... ARE YOU FRICKEN KIDDING ME??? He tells me his boss will be in in a minute. So he leaves and Im like... LiSA!! Is he taking him? And she tells me that it will be his boss that does the surgery...its ok! So DR MC COOL (seriously thats his name) came to take him up and he is still hooked to the iv. I tell him that he needs to unhook it. He comes and looks at it like its a foreign object. Is turning the tube back and forth. And says... Well maybe I should come get the nurse to do this. I said yea...that would be good. Nurse comes and un hooks us. So Im taking him up to the OR. We get up there and the anestesiologist comes and talks to me... and then hes like...ok and reaches out for him. Im thinking...already? You? The anestesiologist takes him??? And off he went. My stomach was now offically SICK! So me and Lisa go to the waiting room. He tells us it will take 30-40 minutes. About 25-30 minutes go by and here comes Dr Bennett and Dr McCool. I look at Lisa and said...that was fast...is that good news or bad news? She tells me good. So they come in and hand me a chunk of blue crayon in a bottle. And this picture
Said that it was in his right lung. Air was able to get past it but it was right in the middle
Dr McCool actually turned out cool and knew what he was talking about now so that made me feel better.
I went into recovery room and he was screaminnnnng. The nurse was holding him. The second I took him he stopped. They got him a cup of AJ and he guzzled that down like no tomorrow (he hadnt eaten since 4 the day before). Then he just fell asleep in my arms. They took us up to his room and we layed there with him for about an hour. Decide that we should probably get some sleep. The nurse said she would release us in the morning (it was 4 am by now). Lisa said...whats the morning? And she said.. when he wakes up and hes doing good. So we lay down and start to get setteled in. His alarm goes off and he wakes up. Nurse comes in and its the alarm saying his IV is empty. She unhooks it and says...well hes awake...do you wanna go home? I was like...heck yes!!! So to home we went!! Hes doing great. Theres really no recovery because there was no cutting. So now just lots of cuddles and Im fricken paranoid about anything on the floor!!! But other then that we are good. We got home at 6:30. and Jentry watched Ty while Chase and I slept a little. Scott is on his way home and has no idea any of this happened. Hes in for a suprise! :sgrin
Maybe Ill just wait to tell him until the bill shows up and be like...oh yeah...that... :lol

Yuba Take One...
My parents went to Yuba for the week. They also took Jentry and Brinley. I knew Brinley wouldnt last long...but Jentry, shes a die hard. I knew she wouldnt be coming home unless she absolutely had to. She ended up staying the whole week. That was a long time without her. I had to do everything myself and learned just how much she really does help out. She was VERY missed.
I do have to say that they took good care of her. She didnt even have a sunburn. Tho she is rubbed raw from the tube. I guess my constant reminder of sunscreen worked. :)
I decided that Id go down there on Tuesday. I knew Wednesday there was supposed to be a storm so Tuesday we should be ok, right? Wrong. It was sooooooooo windy that day. There was really nothing to do but sit on the shores. It was too windy to ride the boat. And well, wind is just not any fun. So we ended up leaving early.
My SIL Bethany came with me. She is very afraid of water. This was her first time out on a wave runner. While she was out there Brady was taking her around. She thought he was doing a good job. Therefore, she thought he had been doing this for awhile. Imagine her suprise when he said he'd been riding for only two days. That cut her trip short on the wave runner and she told him to take her back to shore. I was suprised she had even gotten on with him.
Chase loooved the water and the sand even more. Even tho it was a little cold, that didnt bother him one bit.
Yuba Day Take Two..was much funner....
