Found some fun pictures!

Sweet little Memphis has had a run of ear infections, RSV, and more ear infections...And then he broke out in this nasty skin rash and after about a week it decided to spread from just his chin to his whole face, ears, arms and legs. So I took him to the doc a couple days ago and he has a bacterial skin infection...WHERE DO YOU EVEN GET THAT? So he is on a nasty skin cream for that and to top it off he is on #10 ear infection. Poor little bugger will only be 11 months old in a couple days. So I tried to get him in to get tubes put in before we move next week, but NO ONE has any openings. NOT EVEN IN SOUTH DAKOTA! DANG IT! So here are some cute pics of him, even through the skin and ear infection he still smiles!

SLUMBER PARTY!

Savanna had her moving away slumber party! She invited 9 girls from her 3rd grade class and 2 girls from our branch. ALL OF THEM CAME BUT 1 GIRL! And we had a blast! It as a beautiful day on friday so after they all did manicures and pedicures and makeovers, we drove to the Rozet elementary and they played at the playground for 2 hours. On the drive to the school (which is only about 2 miles) we put on the song by Taylor Swift "Mean". I was just a laughing at the singing that was going on. I think every single girl knew all the words. And of course OakLeigh was right in the middle of them all singing the loudest. It was really cute. Brandon and Weylon drove the truck. They didn't want to ride with so many girls. After that we had pizza and soda. Who would have thought that 11 girls could wolf down 4 large pizzas so quickly! I should have taken a picture of how much junk food they actually had through out the night. To name a few; runts, tootsie rolls, hot tamales, 4 bags of sour gummy worms, kitkats, peanut butter cups, candy corn, chocolate covered marshmallows, peeps...and then of course we had to have ice cream sundaes with all the works! I was praying no one was going to barf on my floors. Oh then we popped 8 bags of popcorn. And I finally got to go to bed around 1030. But I got up several times to change movies, ease a few crying eyes, and finally by 330 AM all was quiet. Until I had to get up at 600 and start on pancakes. After breakfast, the floor was so covered in food and junk that I couldn't even set Memphis down because he would have choked for sure on all the yummies. So after shaking out and folding about 50 blankets and sleeping bags, I swept up 4 DUSTPANS FULL OF crushed food. And the girls were off doing makeovers again. They were all gone by 1000am and I was exhausted and ready for a nap. But we had to go to home depot and get flooring to finish the floor in the master bathroom. I went to bed at 9 and slept really good. I was so tired I hurt to move. LOL I am so glad we got to do this for Savanna. She was on cloud nine. I hope it makes her know how loved she is. And of course OakLeigh was right in the middle of all the girls until I had to drag her to my bed kicking and screaming. Weylon would have loved to slept in the middle of the action too, but one of the girls, Sierra kept finding him and torchering him with her tickles. He slept by Brandon in our bed. HAH....Here are some pictures!







There were a few girls that hid and didn't want their picture taken. All in all it was a great party! I think in a year or two I will recover enough to do another one!

Well we have so much that has been going on! Brandon went back to work after having 2 months off from his accident. He went back the last day of February! But while he was home he went to Rock Springs to an MSHA class and job hunting. We have been praying a lot lately about where we should be and what the best place for our family is?! And we got our answer. It literally almost fell into our laps. He had someone call him while he was in Rock Springs and offer him a job in NORTH DAKOTA...So he called me on his break and said "you wanna move to ND?" I said, "HELL NO!" So that answered that question. haha Anyways, he was offered a job from the same company in Big Piney, Wyoming. MUCH BETTER! North Dakota isn't even a little bit appealing. Big Piney may be small and have no stores, but its in Wyoming. It has a good school system. If anything were to ever happen in either of our families, we would be close enough to go visit. Brandon leaves next week, so once again Brandon gets out of packing the house up. This is oh our 5th move since we got married 9 years ago, and I have had to pack up every time. But this time at least I am NOT pregnant. It makes a world of difference! However, he has a huge list of honey does to do in our rental in Big Piney before the kids and I move in. So it really does even out. We have the most wonderful branch here and we have made some life long friends. We will dearly miss you all so much! Kristin, Terra, Heather, Wendy I will miss our girls night out. You have NO IDEA how much it helps to get out and laugh and chat WITH ADULTS! And with such wonderful friends! I love you all and will be back for a lot of visits! We have been the recipients of a lot of love and service since living here. We lost our baby boy, while building our garage, and while I was in the hospital delivering him, the branch priesthood came and BUILT THE GARAGE FOR US! They finished it. How wonderful and thoughtful of them. When Brandon's brother, Trent, passed away, we had so many prayers, meals, calls, cards, etc...When Brandon was hurt a few months ago, we had meals brought for almost 3 weeks. We had visits. He had some buddies show up and take him out for a while. I will never be able to thank or re-pay all the love we have been given. I only hope that someday we can return it. Last night our branch threw our family a going away party. (I think they want to get rid of us...lol). Brandon and the kids went, I had to stay home with Memphis because we found out yesterday he has RSV. But they brought home a HUGE card the whole branch signed, a book, other cards, cake, etc. But once again, I have received many calls today to see if they could help me since Memphis is sick. I have so many coming to help pack boxes, clean, paint. I really don't know that I will ever meet such a great group of people.

In other news, Weylon has had 2 bottom teeth that have been lose for several months. I finally held him down the other day and pulled 1 tooth out. He was screaming. Brandon was yelling at me to let him go. But the tooth was just a dangling. So I yanked it. He went to scream again and realized I was holding up a tooth and he got the biggest grin on his little face. The tooth fairy brought him $1.25. He was so excited. A week later, he had another dangler. I held him down and pulled that one. Once again, he was screaming, Brandon was yelling at me to let him go. I was laughing. I held up that tooth, and he was laughing so hard he couldn't stop the tears. He got $1.50 for that one. He is growing up. I took a few pictures. He looks scared to death and stoned. HAHA Gotta love my boy.

Savanna is having a bit of a hard time with this upcoming move. She is in 3rd grade. She is 8 years old. She is our social butterfly. She has so many friends because she has a heart of gold. So she is having a farewell slumber party at our house this friday the 9th. We made invitations and she handed them out at school yesterday. We told the girls to ride her school bus home with her on friday and the party would begin. I got a text of warning from a mom last night, she says, "did you know that friday is only a half day of school?" No, NO, NO I did not know that. So it looks like 10 little girls will be here starting friday at 100 and for the night! WHAT WAS I THINKING? HAHA We are going to be doing make overs, manicures and pedicures, watching movies, eating popcorn, karaoke, making ice cream sundaes, and eating pizza. Hope no one barfs on my floor. It should be fun! I will post pictures soon! Weylon and his dad are going to go somewhere fun while the girls party. Then the next friday Weylon and OakLeigh get to have 2 friends each stay over. (It makes it easy because they both like the same people). Then I really have to get busy with my packing and cleaning!

So this first picture: I came home from urgent care with Memphis last night. I walk in and look on the kitchen floor and see chunks of hair. I think OH NO! I follow the trail of hair which led down the hall into Weylon and OakLeigh's room and right to the closet door. I open the closet door to find this picture. A pair of scissors thrown down, and all OakLeigh's horses and barbies almost hairless. Some of them were scalped completely.


Here is another picture of the damage. And of course daddy had no idea.



This was Savanna's picture day today. She looked cute! She is getting so big!



Here is Weylon with his first $1.25 from his tooth fairy.



This is Weylon after holding him down and pulling his tooth the 2nd time! Poor kid I think I traumatized him! LOL
