My weird moment!

So Tuesday morning I woke up and felt like something was in my eye.. (what an irritating feeling!) Well all day long I tried and tried everything to get it out, I even got some good advice from a friend that if I pulled my upper eye lid over my lower eyelid and then blew my nose it would come out.. (well Julie that trick didn't work :) As I was looking in my eye to see if I could see anything I did notice a small brown something on my lower eyelid (it actually looked like a small pebble) and I thought to myself man I should really go get this checked out.. so after all day of flushing it out I went to bed (didn't sleep well cause it felt like I was sleeping with a small rock in my eye!) I woke up Wednesday morning..it was still there! It didn't seem as bad as the day before so I let it ride thinking whatever it was it would eventually fall out! Well later in the day I took the kids to the park and I don't know if it was the sunshine or the light breeze but man when I got home my eye once again was bothering me really bad..so I had decided that no matter what I was going to call the eye dr the next day (today Thursday) and get an appt..I had come to the conclusion that the little brown spot on my lid was what was bothering me..good thing I had made that decision cause when I go see the Dr. he says that doesn't look good, after ruling out it wasn't a cyst he starts to scrap it a bit with his tools (quite uncomfortably!) a few more mins of scraping my lid he pulls out a piece of plastic WHAT?? he said it looked like a piece of plastic got embedded in my lid and the skin was starting to grow over it.. one: that's weird and Two: I never knew that somehow a piece of plastic got in my eye the first time, (why was I barley even noticing some discomfort now?) and third: I am not dropping antibiotics and steroid drops in my eye 4 times a day to heal it up..I'm just glad it doesn't feel like I have a small pebble in my eye anymore!! Oh well I guess better me then one of my kids..

Kids say the darnest things..

So Kannon has been going thur a stage where all he mostly wants to eat is Mac N Cheese, so I have been trying new and different things to get him to eat, the other day it was Chef Boyardee Raviolis (which turns out he liked that!) but as I was feeding him Kolbee comes in and asks what he is eating so I tell her, which she replys "Yum is that the kind with Rich meaty sauce" (I was pretty sure I have heard that on a commerical somewhere...)sure enough she told me that's where she heard it!! I guess I should limit her TV time!! It was so cute though I had to laugh!

Cracked tooth and a bloody lip

I know the title sounds pretty dramatic (made you read on right!!) But I guess with to little girls life sometimes is dramatic and I'm sure it will only get worse as time passes.. anyways starting with the cracked tooth..the girls got a trampoline for Christmas and have been enjoying it tremendously! Most of the time their neighbor friends come over and enjoy it with them, well yesterday they were all jumping when I hear Kolbee crying so I go out to see what's wrong with her and all I get out of it was Kolbee bite Avery, well what happened was they were jumping and I guess Kolbee fell and her teeth hit Averys head (which is why they thought she bit her!) so I tell them maybe it's time to take a rest which Kolbee immediately stops crying and they say it's ok...well I go inside and let them jump, well later that night Mike was brushing Kolbee teeth when she starts to complain about her front tooth..Mike looks closer and sees that one of her front teeth has a chip on it.. poor little thing, so I get to call the dentist tomorrow and see what we can do about it.. I just hope she doesn't have to get a silver tooth (no offense to people with silver teeth!) I mean she can't keep it cracked for another 3 or so years when it falls out.. so we'll see! Now about the bloody lip, if any of you know, really know Kenzee you'll know just how dramatic she can be, well last night I guess she bite her lip and immediately comes over to me and asks if it's bleeding, I decided to play well I"ll just say probley not the nicest joke on her by telling her very dramatically "oh my gosh Kenzee your bleeding all over, we better take you to the ER" she runs to the bathroom screaming (but the sad thing is by the time she gets there she really does have a bleeding lip!) So I go into the bathroom where she spitting her blood in the sink YELLING "Mom, you have to help me I could die.." I mean she is seriously freaking out to where Kolbee starts to freak out, "help her mom"..I'm dying laughing (yes another cruel thing, I just couldn't help it) I finally calm down and get her calmed down, when I think she realizes she overdid it just a bit..talk about loosing teeth I am definitely not looking forward to her losing her teeth..gotta love little girls..my life never has a dull moment!

The Broken Egg!?!

So last night we decided to make a Sunday night treat which turned out to be brownies.. Well when we decided the girls were outside playing with their friend Andie which of course they told Andie all about the brownies, they then come running in asking if they could share their brownies with Andie, "of course" I say "when they are done we'll take some over" (by then it was getting dark and time for them to come inside!) So I start making the brownies and realize I was short one egg, in the mist of cooking supper, making brownies and trying to please a ticked off Kannon I decided to let Kenzee walk over to Andie house to see if we could borrow the one egg I needed.. Of course Kenzee was so excited to perform this task and in her excitement she asks Kolbee to come along! So they leave, Mike looks at me and says "how much do you want to bet she doesn't come home with the egg", I then say with all faith in Kenzee "I'll bet you a back rub she does come with the egg"! After about 3 Min's of Kenzee being gone I'm thinking she's going to drop the egg! So she finally comes in with the egg and is so excited she didn't drop it! I then look at Mike and say "see, you owe me a back rub!" So I continue to make the brownies when all of a sudden Kolbee says "Mommy Kenzee dropped the egg" I reply "no baby she got it and now I'm making the brownies with it" "No mom, there were TWO eggs and she dropped one" I turned to Kenzee which she says "Kolbee hit me with her bike and I dropped the egg, it was an accident, but I still had one!" By then Mike is back in the room and we just smile at each other and call the bet even! So after making the brownies we walk over to Andie house (and sure enough there was a broken egg on the sidewalk) give them the brownies and I was thanking Lucas (Andie dad) for the TWO eggs, I kinda told him the story which he starts to laugh and says yeah when she came over Erica (Andie mom) decided to give Kenzee two eggs just in case! Well it worked! I love Kenzee excitement at the littlest things I mean after all she did make it home with the egg, and it's great that we have awesome neighbors that know enough to give two eggs!

The long awaited Christmas gift!

Well things have calmed down with all the sicknesses around our house (for now anyways!) I never did get Strep Throat, but did end up with a Sinus infection (I think I would have rather gotten the Strep!) I took Kannon back to the Dr. to check his oxygen levels and they were all back to normal so it just must have been from the sickness! So a couple of post back I wrote about the TV/DVD I got Kenzee for Christmas thru the Disney reward points program.. well what I didn't mention was on Christmas day she was so excited to get it, so we went to hook it up and it wouldn't turn on.. how disappointing for her.. so Mike and I explained that we would contact Santa and ask him to get her a new one! So I contacted Disney and they were very nice and after a few weeks we got her replacement TV! (of course I had to ship the old one back) but we got the new one and hooked it and it works great! Kenzee has been so excited about it! Even though this happened to us, the rewards program is still a hit around here!!

Strep Throat anyone??

So Friday evening Kenzee started to run a temp and was coughing like crazy, I though great she's getting sick..Saturday morning Kolbee started to run a temp and she too started to cough like crazy.. Well by Sunday they were both running 102-103 temps as soon as the Mortin would get out of their system..I thought about the ER but it would have been expensive, so I called the Urgent care in town and they were closed on Sunday, so I just decieded that they would have to wait it out for another night and I would take them to see the dr on Monday, by then Kannon to started to cough, but thank goodness didn't have any temp, YET.. So on Monday after a 3 hour doctor visit, Kenzee, Kolbee and Mike were postive for Strep Throat, they didn't test Kannon but since he did by then have a fever and his throat was looking somewhat red they just decieded to treat him for it to! I was the only lucky one (so far) to not have it! All the kids also had high pulse rates (from the coughing) and were all low on Oxegen levels.. great, last time this happened it was just Kannon and he ended up in the hospital for 3 days, needless to say at that time my aniexty level was extremely high! After all of them having breathing treatments the girls levels came up (somewhat) but Kannon actually went down lower. They let me take them all home with antobotics and having to give all of them the breathing treatments every 4-6 hours, Kannon is supposed to go back later this week so they can check his levels again and if they are still low were going to talk about him being referred to a Lung specialist.. (because of the fact that his levels everytime it has been checked are low, so they just want to make sure his lungs are working like they should be). After a crazy morning of giving the treatments, trying to make sure Kenzee keeps her medicine down (She gages on everything and usually more then likely throws it up from the gaging) I am most defentiley ready for a nap!..

Kolbee is a Sunbeam!

Today at Church Kolbee had her first class as a "Sunbeam", we had been talking about it all week and she was so excited to be able to go into Primary especially since Kenzee was in Primary.. Today was also the day we started our new time at 9am (so last night we went to bed pretty early!) Well during church she wasn't having a very good time and I wondered if she has gotten enough sleep.. church got over and she was still excited to go and meet her new teacher! Once we got into the room she started to cry saying she didn't want to be a sunbeam (which really isn't like her) so we went and got introduced to her new teachers (she still was crying) I told her that I would sit with her for a while, she started to feel a little better, I showed her where Kenzee was sitting (two chairs behind her)..so Primary started with a song (she loves to sing) and she started to loosen up a little by then! A few mins later she looks at me and says it's ok for me to leave she's ready to be a Sunbeam! I left and later when I went and got her she said she had the best time at her new class! Thank goodness, hopefully she'll remember that next week!
