Steelers @ Broncos Game Pictures

I am finally posting the pictures and video from the Steelers/Bronco game. Steelers won so Paul was happy!

Half time - salute to the armed forces.

Can a Steelers fan and a Broncos fan really live peacefully together?

Wow, what a week

So a week ago today Paul and I left for Denver in the late morning. We had tickets to the Monday night football game, Steelers at the Broncos. (I'll post pictures later)
Later that night my mom calls me and tells me that her and Chris are taking Trey into the after hours doctor. He is just not comfortable, doesn't want to snuggle with Grandma which you know when something is wrong when he doesn't want to snuggle, he had developed a fever, and his breathing has become a little labored.
I started to worry because I wasn't there with him and wasn't with him at the doctors to answer any questions. The moms and Paul try to reassure me that let's just see what the doctor says before I get too worried.
The doctor says, strep throat and sends him over to the hospital for an x-ray on his chest. They then admit him to the pediatric floor for the strep and pneumonia. So here I am in Denver and my boy is now in the hospital fighting pneumonia. I felt awful I wasn't there with him.
I'm so thankful for my mom and mother-in-law that took such good care of Trey, Brett and Ellie while Paul and I were in Denver.
The moms, the doctors, and nurses all told me to stay in Denver for the game on Monday night.
I couldn't have been more anxious to get to the hospital Tuesday afternoon when I flew into Salt Lake City. My mom had been there with Trey since Sunday night and Paul's mom was with the other kids at home.
After 5 days of traveling, juggling kids, juggling time at the hospital, etc. Trey got well enough to come home Friday afternoon. He was so tired of being there, he would get irritated when a nurse or doctor came in. When we got him home Brett was really happy to see him, Ellie didn't know what was going on except for the fact that mommy wasn't there, then was, then wasn't again. Brett sang Twinkle Twinkle Little Star to Trey and it made Trey so happy! It was good to see him laugh and smile like his old self.
It was a crazy week and hopefully this next week is much slower!

First Snow Fall

Wednesday, Oct. 28, 2009 was our first snow storm of the season. The kids and I couldn't resist going out and playing in it. The snow was wet so we were able to build a snow man. I'm so glad I have kids that enjoy the snow as much as I do!

Halloween 2009

Happy Halloween Everyone!

For dinner on Thursday night we made Mummy Pizza's! They were fun to make and they were good too.

Pumpkin Patch

October 23, 2009

We took the kids to a pumpkin patch and corn maze on this Saturday. Brett had been here before with his preschool class so he was excited to go again. He really liked the corn maze.

Trey loved being out in the fresh air and he had a good time winding his way through the corn maze.

Team work!

I'm so glad when Uncle Dave comes over

Glad as glad can be

Clap my hands and shout for joy

and climb upon his shoulders!

Picnic in the Canyon

October 17, 2009

The Saturday, after we got back from China, was beautiful. We took the kids and Uncle Dave up to a park in Hobble Creek Canyon. It was warm, beautiful, colorful, and fun.

"One giant step for Bretty kind"

"Happy Trey Boy"

We all had a wonderful time and headed home for a well deserved nap.
