Four years Married, Eight Years Together!

Happy Anniversary Arthur Life may have its ups and downs but I know that I am more complete, and happy knowing, that I am honored to be your wife, lucky enough to have caught and kept you for four years before we even married and excited that our love doesn't just end here on earth, but will continue on into the eternities because we fell in love!





It was cute, Art wanted to watch "24" last night at 11:30pm and well I didn't want to cause of all the LATE and TOUGH nights I have been having with Addy but I guess I am a sucker. It was good, but I was mad at myself for not going to bed afterwards. As I am going up the stairs Art calls me to stop and tells me not to be mad, he just wanted to be the first one to say HAPPY ANNIVERSARY! It seems sir-real at times facing all that we have together...But through it all I know that our love is eternal and that together we can make it through anything, because we have each other...I Love you so very much and am so grateful you are in my life. Thank you for all you do and for being so amazing!

P.S. Unfortunately we do not have any great updates on Addy, we had a chest ex-ray done on her abdomen yesterday but are still waiting on her reading and result to proceed to the next step which is seeing a gastroenterologist...she seems to do pretty well during the day but then night comes and her temperature is 103 and she is crying and in a lot of pain usually from 2am on...thank you for your support and prayer we are still not in the clear nor do we have any answers yet so please continue to keep us in your prayers! I'll keep ya posted!

what a week.......

So last Thursday Addy was complaining that her tummy was hurting, no big deal right...she doesn't eat a ton and well she doesn't go #2 all that much either...Friday roles around same thing tummy hurts, but that night she starts throwing up and soo we have Zofran on stock because once she gets started it doesn't stop until she is throwing up spit...you get the point. Saturday roles around and she all of a sudden is really congested and has a mild fever, no more vomiting thank goodness, she is still complaining about her tummy through all of this...I just haven't had a great feeling the whole time this is going on, that and I am a huge worry wort, soo Sun. and Mon. role around, she isn't sleeping or eating and Art has given her a blessing and things aren't getting any better. So Monday night Art takes Addy to Urgent care and all they say is upper respiratory infection, no big deal right...Tuesday morning I take Addy into her Doctor and she says to stop worrying, have another child, because this one is getting a little too spoiled and tells me the same thing Upper respiratory infection, and allergies, so we have been doing breathing treatments, giving Addy Zantec for her reflex, and Zertec for her allergies, she seemed like she was doing a little better but still had tummy aches, isn't eating much or sleeping much, Friday roles around again, I go into check on her because she was in pain and she WILL NOT get out of bed, she is really hot and I am worried sick. Luckily Art got home and we took her temp. 103.9 called her doctor and drove to the Emergency room at about 11. My poor baby was so sick she passed out in my arms, SHE NEVER FALLS ASLEEP IN MY ARMS, EVER. Art gives her another blessing and 30min. later we are finally seen, we did get a dose of Tylenol down her 3min. before being seen. The nurse takes her temp, rectally, and its 104, she gives her a dose of Motrin at that point. One chest ex-ray, one urine sample, one mini catheter, a lot of T.V. a Popsicle and she checks out with the flu. She still had a temperature of 102.5 when we left, which is still the case only now her tummy pains seem to have gotten worse. That night Art runs to the store and picks up some suppositories to try and help Addy go poop, so at 1:45am in the morning I hold Addy down and Art injects a suppository into her rectally, her tummy still hurts and we have been injecting suppositories up her butt today to try and flush her out. It seems when she eats now her tummy starts to hurt really bad, if she isn't better by Monday it will be back to the emergency room yet again.

I am a bit of a basket case right now inside, I feel so helpless and sad when ever she tells me or cries that her tummy is hurting, I guess I am posting this to ask for some prayers this weekend, I am really worried about Addy and what the hospital may do if Addy's tummy situation and fever don't get better. Please have us in your prayers we need them right now...Thanks for listening! I guess I just need a little support through this crappy ordeal!

Grandparents, grandperents, grandparents!

So Thursday Art decided we needed to go visit all of our Utah Grandparents so we took off after Addy's dance class and stopped in St. George first and saw G-ma & G-pa Hatch and chatted, ate, & then spent the night, and then drove to Payson Utah in the morning and saw G-ma & G-pa Baird, then over to Provo where Hannah met us and then drove over to Salt lake and saw my G-ma Connie. We hung out that night and most of Saturday with my G-ma Connie. Saturday I went to Aunt Kathy's baby shower with Hannah and Addy and then we drove back up to see G-ma Connie where we painted eggs, chatted, ate, and stayed in doors since it was raining, but the big news there was that Addy just started to say her numbers from one to ten, out of the blue, when she decided she would count her eggs we had just painted, it was awesome, and it seems like her sentences are better and so is her vocab. Family always has played an important role in her development and for that we are truly blessed! Sunday we had hidden, sort of, some easter eggs around the room we stayed at and addy woke up and hunted them before we left that morning! We then, stopped back through and saw the Bairds and Hatch's one last time before making our way back home from a very busy driving trip to see our incredible grandparents! Thank you for putting us up for those night and feeding us it was so wonderful to see everyone and Aunt Kathy is finally showing Atiny bit more or her baby girl who is due to be born in Mesa in July, we are so excited for another little girl! She looked so cute at her shower! So this was a quick little update of how our little eventful easter went...

We hope you all enjoyed a wonderful holiday and Easter Sunday! We love and miss you all a ton!
