Things that have and are happening.....

So while Tyler and I had family in town this last week, I got a call from a family friend last Sunday asking if I needed her to watch Brig for me while we go and help look for my dad and little brother Tanner. I had NO clue as to what was going on. I tried calling my parents house, my sister Emily, and finally got hold of my brother in law Jason. Apparently my Dad and little brother Tanner had gone on a 3 day hike and never showed up the day before like planned. Oh my gosh is all I could say without busting into tears. I just sat there shaking so bad. I told Tyler and he could see the tears that weren't falling. So I called Amber back and told thanks but no thanks. Finally got hold of my Mom for a few mins while she had reception on her phone. She wanted me to go help watch kids since she didn't need me helping to look. Luckily, Dad got a call through to Mom saying they were all right and that the path they were supposed to be on was hard to get to so they had taken a different trail and ended up at the I-17. Some nice guy was giving them a lift back to where my Mom and 2 sisters and half the guys from their ward were. So all's well that ends well. I told Dad never to scare me like that again. He said he'd try but wasn't making any promises.

So our friends next door are moving this week. Jo and Jeremy and EmmaLee are amazing people, even if Emma likes to scream alot. We're going to miss them alot. It's going to be strange to have new neighbors. I'm going to miss having Emma around all the time and talking with Jo about almost all things under the sun. Jeremy's a good and fun to joke around with so I'm going to miss him as well.

We'll be in Utah this next weekend. Tyler had a mission reunion he would like to go to since the last one was way to stressful while we were there. We'll be staying with my grandpa and step-grandma up there that hasn't met Brig yet but who love the pictures that we have shown. When we told my in laws that we would be going to Utah Conference weekend, my father in law started laughing. He brought up our last trip to Utah. It was 2 years ago and I was 5 months pregnant and had to gotten my insulin pump not to long before. I had flown to Utah ahead of Tyler because he had to work or something like that. He ended up driving up with Jo (also 5 months preg at the time) and Jeremy because his flight was over booked. Couldn't even get on the next morning it was so packed. So while Tyler, Jo, and Jeremy are still 6 hours from Salt Lake, I get admitted to the hospital due to very high blook sugers that wouldn't come down. Turned out that I had hit a point that where I just wasn't getting enough insulin from my pump and had to readjust it. So because of that we never made our flight to Idaho to visit my family up there. Still haven't been there since I've been married (but that's going to change this year---4th of July baby!!!!!).
I told Rick (father in law) that there were 2 differences this year. I'm not pregnant and we're not flying. My dad also pointed out that now I know how to work my insulin pump better now too. So this year should be lots of fun because my sister Jamie will also be in Salt Lake and hopefully staying with Grandpa and Marrdy as well!!!! I can't wait to see her.

Being sick sucks

So we've all been hit with a cold of some shape or form. Brig has a cold, Tyler has a sinus infection, and I've got those darn allergies. It just plain ol' sucks.

Fun in the Sun

So this week we have some family in town on Tyler's side. His aunt and uncle, 2 of their kids, and 3 grandkids. Yesterday was a fun day. At noon we all went to a Cubs vs Rockies game. Those kids plus Brig were pretty good and had lots of fun!! We all got hot dogs except for Sarah who got a HUGE thing of cotton candy which she shared with her brothers. By the time they were done eating, they all had cotton candy all over there hands and faces. Then theres Brig. By the last 2 or 3 innings rolled around, he was ready to play. So we went for a few walks above where we were sitting. He swung from the railing blocking of the handicap section and turned in circles around a small post. We sang along with Cindi Standage while she sang "Take me out to the ball game" during the 7th inning stretch. After the game we all went back to my in laws house. Brig fell asleep on the way back and slept for almost 2 hours. While pizzas were cooking, I put in the movie Ironman. Jonathan and Ryan (Sarah's older twin brothers) were sitting there watching it with me (after the first few adult parts in the begining). I don't think I've ever answered so many questions at one time than I did for those 2 cute little boys. Their dad told me I didn't have to answer them but I had fun so I did. Questions like why is he making that suit? when does Ironman make his red suit? Why is she doing that? There's a scene were Tony and Pepper are at this party and Tony asks Pepper to dance. Jonathan saw Pepper's dress and asked me if I could fast foward it because she wasn't modest. Now tell me..............How cute is that? His parents are teaching those kids good!!!!

A Night at G.G.'s & Papa Vern's

This my nephew Carter. He was a thinkin' he was hot stuff!!!

My sister-in-law Lindsay and her boyfriend Ian, who is home on spring bring from the air force acadamy until Sunday.

And this is JT, Tyler's twin brother, and their older sister Heather. Let's just say neither of them knew I was taking there picture!!!

Friday Nights

So right now I'm sitting at home on a Friday night while my husband and his friend Jeremy from next door are playing on the XBox 360. Don't ask what game because I honestly couldn't tell you. The funny part is that both kids, Brig and Emma, are out there with them and I can hear Tyler telling them to move it or lose it. Brig keeps trying to play with his car on top of the tv and Emma's just climbing onto everything! oh well. It'll be a good experience for them.......right?

So nothing much is going on. My brother in law JT is coming into town later tonight and will be here for awhile. Just needs a bit of a vacation. My sister Adelia and her kids were here last week and are now in California with her in laws visiting family. My sister Merry Jo did a photo shoot the other day and from the pics I've seen she's really got it going. What can I say? She's family. http://www.sarahgoodmanphotography.com/ Apparently these are just the first few of many. Cute huh?

Brig is teething again. So that means ALOT of milk (plain and chocolate) and very little food. Luckily no rashes this time. BUT....I finally got him to eat some food tonight. A few bites of some ham that my mom cooked and some french fries. I think we're making some progress.

I got some blood work done this last monday. you know the normal stuff that gets checked? chloestrol, lipids, etc. Well I also got some blood work to see how well my diabetes is doing and its doing great. My hebagloban A1C is a 7.0!!!!! I got it down to a 6.0 while I was pregnant with Brig. A 6.0 is the best I've ever been in my whole life, so a 7.0 is good too. The last time I got it checked it was almost to an 8 so I'm glad I'm getting it back in control. The only thing my doc said for me to do was to exercise more. No duh!!!

A cute little momento

I thought this one was cute. This was the first time he had ever eatten pb & j. As you can tell he liked it but that was the only time i got his to actually eat the sandwich. Now he just pulls the bread apart and says "all done!!"

This the hubby, Tyler Horton. This I took on a day that he didn't have a whole lot going on. Isn't he just to cute? :)

I took these 2 pictures and actually liked them. What do you think?

Not much

So not much has happened today. Last night Brig woke up at about midnight and I brought him to bed with us. Its fun having him sleep with us because its like a slumber party but I don't get much sleeping done. Brig tends to sleep sideways so his head ends up on Tyler's stomach and his feet on my stomach or legs. It didn't use to be that way. He would sleep on my chest while I was propped up on pillows. He still trys to do that but he just doesn't fit as well any more!! :) Today Brig has just wanted to be outside constantly. So we took the garbage out and than we played outside twice. Had fun both times. Now its getting to be later into the day and I have to think of something for dinner. I also have Enrichment tonight and a meeting with our Bishop. This next week is going to be fairly busy for us. Tomorrow Brig and I go walking in the morning, visiting teachers at 1, and I have a sister and neices and nephews flying in. Thursday I'm hoping to be able to spend the day with Adelia and my many other sisters and possibly go to the temple with them as well. After that we're having dinner at my parents house in Chandler and who knows how late we'll be there. Friday is Tyler's birthday!!! He'll be 25 yrs old. Dang. We're having like 20 friends over that night for ice cream and cookies (homemade of course). It'll be a mad house and my house is already not clean. Saturday is my sister Emily's birthday, she'll be 25 as well. Sunday is a day full of family activities followed by dinner. Monday is my Dad's birthday. Luckily we have a break til Thursday which is my birthday. What can I say? We like March!!!!

Poor kid

Today was a sad day for Brig. He had to get 5 shots. He cried while getting them but stopped almost as soon as i picked him up. But then I made the mistake of trying to put his shoes on while he was trying to look at his band-aids. Luckily, right now he is asleep. He was very tired when we left the doc's office. I'm so proud of my little man and how brave he can be. Brigham is the best little boy I could ever ask for.

So today we went to the park and tried to have some fun. There just happened to be tons of kids there. Not so much little kids but kids that were like 7 or 8 or older and they didn't pay much attention to the little one and kept knocking them down. Though one boy did pick Brig up after someone else accidently knocked him down. Needless to say that him and Emma decided to stay close to Mommys after that.

While we were walking we saw that someone had their electric sailboat out on the water. Of course I couldn't pass it up, I had to get a picture. It was pretty cool watching it out there.

The last few days have been kinda hectic. Laundry, dishes, coldes, and teething. Brig's had a fever the last few days and not sleeping through the night like he usually does. Everything had to be done with Mommy holding him or he just wasn't happy. At night his body would get so hot that his feet were almost to hot to touch. Thankfully his fever broke yesterday and is back to wanting to do things on his own again. Don't get me wrong I love it when he cuddles with me but after 3 days of non-stop cuddling while soaking up the heat that was coming off Brig in waves.

Mud Bath

The other day Brig and his little "girl friend" EmmaLee were out playing and having a grand ol' time on the tricycles. Brig had a little fall and got all muddy! Need less to say he got another bath! Here are some pictures that my neighbor Jo (Emma's Mom) took of him. Enjoy!
