A VERY SAD WEEKEND!

On saturday December 6th Tory and I worked on the house after coming home that night we picked up our boys from my mother in laws and came home. A bit later we had some of our friends over for dinner and a movie. We put Braydon down for bed around 8pm and Corbin down around 8:30pm. After getting the boys into bed we started our movie and played a game. We also had our niece Lataya staying with us that night and it was such a blessing that she was there because we did not have to get Corbin up out of bed. At 11pm that night Braydon woke up and was coughing really bad and was having a difficult time breathing. I held him until he went back to sleep then he did the same thing so at 12:45am we took him to the hospital. They gave him a breathing treatment and told use that he has Croup, then sent us on are why back home. We got home around 4am and put him to bed he slept really good. Got up at 7:45am and was good to go for that day. Then after lunch he showed the same symptoms that he had that night. Tory then called his doctor and let them know of his symptoms they then told him that we needed to get him back to the ER so we did. We got there at about 4:30pm. He had it so bad that they wanted him to stay over night to make sure that his breathing would get better, but he had a really bad night so they made us stay another night. After the first night and first full day in the hospital we were hoping that he would have a good night so that we could go home that next morning. He had a very good night so they let us go home today.

Braydon and daddy sleeping it has been a VERY LONG day!!
He was so out of it and did not feel good at all.
He would not lay in the crib unless I was in it with him.
What a sweet little boy!

Going home.

I had no idea what Croup was. So for those of you who don't know here are some facts.
-Croup does not refer to a single illness, but rather a group of conditions involving inflammation of the upper airway that leads to a cough that sounds like a bark, particularly when a child is crying.
-Most Croup is caused by viruses, but similar symptoms may occasionally be caused by bacteria or an allergic reaction. The viruses most commonly involved are parainfluenza virus,adenovirus,respiratory syncytial virus,influenza,and measles.
-Most cases of Croup due to viruses are mild and can be treated at home,though rarely it can be sever and even life-threatening. Some kids are more prone to developing Croup,especially those who were born prematurely or with narrowed upper airways,and babies with a history of breathing problems like asthma.

The wall are up!

Here is another update on the house. We now have the outer walls all up. I have a lot of picture and wanted to show most of them so I thought that I would make a little slide show. Hope that yall enjoy the updates and the pictures. I hope that we will be putting up the inside walls tomorrow. I will take pictures of it and post them as soon as I can.

Thanksgiving!

We had a very good thanksgiving. I will be adding more pictures later..

New baby!

Damon and Cindy had their baby on the 26th she was 3 days late so we were all so excited when they called to say that they had the baby. They had a baby boy. They named him Tripp. He is a healthy, beautiful baby as you can very well see.

A fun day.

On tuesday I watch my twin brothers kids. They had such a good time playing. Corbin and Paige are 11 weeks apart so it is way for to see them play and have a good time together. Braydon and Samuel are also 11 weeks apart crazy I know but very true. They were so good and played so well.

Things kids do.

The cute things that kids will do.
I went in the kitchen to start on dinner

and then walked back into the

living room to find Braydon up on the

vacuum. After taking his picture

Corbin wanted to have a turn on the

vacuum. It was pretty funny to see them

on it as if they were riding a horse.

Island Park weekend.

We thought that it would be nice to take the boys for little drive to Island Park. We had such a good time. After we turned onto this one road there were two moose standing right in front of us. It was really neat to see them way up close. We went up the road some more and thought it would be good to let the boys get out and walk around for a little bit. At first Corbin would not get out because of the moose that we had seen earlier, but then I told him that it was not going to come near us he was fine. He got out and after about 3 minutes he was to cold and did not want to be outside. Braydon on the other hand did not want to get back into the truck after getting out. He had so much fun playing in the snow and just walking all around. It was so cute to watch him in the snow. This was his first time in the snow and he would not keep on his gloves, but he still loved it.

Part of the floor of the house.

Friday and saturday Tory and I put in 12 hours each out at the house, but for the most part we worked on some of the other houses. So on saturday after noon when our foremen said that we were going to start on our house we were so excited. We worked on getting the floor all done. We got most of it done,but then it got to be to dark to work.So Tory got up early so that he could go out there to finish it all up.The boys and I went out there this after noon to take him lunch and to see how it was coming along.He has worked so hard on it. So here are some more pictures that I have take..
