WARNING not the most exciting post
things to be thankful for
1. nebulizer
2. blessings
3. left over steroids
4. air purifier
5. humidifier ( with all those "iers" in her room it was quite noisy)
6. AC
7. Calm husband
8. little girl safe and sound and currently sleeping well!!!!

So with that lovely smoke from the Draper fire our cute little Abbey had her first asthma attack. Well at least that's what we are attributing it to. It was pretty crazy! She showed now symptoms except a slight runny nose just before bed ( which I didn't even know could be a symptom of an oncoming attack) but both Tim and Porter have had a slight cold so I didn't think anything of it.
About 11 I heard the lovely cough that every parent fears to hear from their child whether they have asthma or not. When I got in there she was freaking out. Now that it's over I can compare it to someone drowning. Not a fun thing. So did I stay calm... nope... well not too bad but it took me a minute to realize DUH use the nebulizer that's all the Dr.s would do. She fought it and was so out of it, I don't think she ever really woke up for the first 2 times around. About an hour later we were doing it again. So Tim set me up to sleep in her room, or should i say lay in her room. When she woke up yet again soon after that he came down the hall to check on us and gave her a blessing. She still had a rough night even after that but it was much better. She and i enjoyed watching cartoons from 3-5 AM it was fabulous, but she was much better and that's all that mattered.
When she did wake up this morning i just watched to see how she was doing and she was bouncing off the walls, but hey who wouldn't be if they were on steroids, so I drove her to school and then picked her up again. The buses and open windows didn't sound to good of an idea for her. She hated not being able to go outside today. And tonight it smells worse than it was been, hopefully her body will get better and so will the air quality.
Sorry for such a humdrum post! I wanted to do fun ones with pics last night while I was up with her but my connection was bad :( hopefully soon!

Abbey's first day

Grinning from ear to ear. She couldn't have been more excited!!! She looks tooo grown up!I had to add this picture too.
Getting off the bus. She is a little nervous about tomorrow :(

She is afraid she won't know which classroom is hers, I'm soooo glad Tucker can help her.
All smiles still!!!!!
We said a little prayer tonight to ease her nerves, of course now that I know that she is nervous now I will be, and she will most likely be fine now!

Tucker's first day of second grade

Aug. 18th

Strike'n a pose.

This was ALL him.And a pic of the back of his shirt, he's been waiting and waiting to wear this shirt ever since we got it! He has even come out with the whole outfit on to show us a few times :)

Tim was on his way to work so he dropped him off at the bus stop. He loves leaving with his dad he thinks it's soooo cool.
The night before the first day of school Tim gave ALL the kids a blessing. It was so nice and I'm so thankful for having that in my home. There were things said that I wouldn't even have thought of and were a nice comfort.

Abbey's second tooth

August 5th
After losing her first tooth and realizing it doesn't hurt to bad Abbey decided she was brave enough to try out the string on a door knob. So Tim hooked her up and we let our spring loaded door do the rest. Well the string just came off. We tried so many times and nothing.


Abbey wanted to get it out so bad she didn't want to give up. The rest of us were starting to give up.

Finally we realized she should stand on a chair (okay it was my idea) And voila that did the trick. She didn't even know it worked, it hadn't worked so many times that she thought it didn't work again.

Dishwasher

Awhile ago I was finishing blow drying my hair whenIi heard the sound of silverware clanging, I investigated and found Porter unloading the dishwasher for me (at least they were clean dishes) This is his new thing he likes to help with, for now. So if any of you like his style I can arrange for him to be of service.

I've been tagged!

Hopefully I'll get to blogging all that we've done lately.... we'll see :)

Dani tagged me and I didn't even know for awhile cuz I hadn't had time to read her whole blog yet, so here we go.....

What were you doing five years ago?
I had 2 toddlers, Tucker 2 (almost 3) and Abbey almost 1. I'm relatively sure that we were doing some kind of remodeling on our old house in North Ogden. And helping Tim finish off his last year of school. Wow how pathetic is that that I can't remember that well?

What were you doing ten years ago?
Tim and I had just been married in Feb. and were getting ready to buy our first house. A major fixer upper complete with the 70's thing going for it. But it was worth all the hard work we put into it and definitely a whole NEW house when we were done with it. And like my mom always said "once you finish it you'll move" and she was right!

Snacks you like: chips & salsa, Dr. Pepper, cheese & crackers, IKEA chocolate, hot tamales, & doughnuts (my sweet hubby took me to Kholer's the other night just to get me some). I love salty snacks!

5 places you have lived:
1. Logan, UT
2. South Weber, UT
3. North Ogden, Ut
4. Lehi, UT
5. Lehi, UT

5 jobs you've had:
1. Sew-N-Save
2. Davis Park Cafe
3. Zions bank
4. Manager of Prometric Testing Center
5. MOM

5 things on your "to do" list:
1. laundry
2. tackle all those boxes in the basement!!! and either chuck it or write down what's in it
3. finish Porter's dino quilt
4. scrapbook (just cuz I want too)
5. did I mention laundry?

If I were suddenly a billionaire I would...I can't tell you the answer to this cuz then it wouldn't be a surprise.... well okay since it will never happen. Send my parents on a mission, pay off every ones houses anonymously. Buy my mom a lavender VW bug just cuz she would be so cute in it. Education for my kids and cousins. Pay someone to do the LAUNDRY!


5 things people might not know about me
1. I have an obsession with buying paper (okay a few of you know that)
2. I'm a computer nerd, well not a huge one, but I can often fix my own and have even built my own computer in the past, and if Tim brings home a new part for my desk top I usually put it in. I'm his mom's personal to go person :)
3. I've know Tim since I was 16, and never kissed him till I was 20. (okay that was a lame one but apparently I'm an open book people and not to exciting of one either)
4. I really can be shy, I know all of you that know me don't believe this, but when I'm out of my comfort zone this is soooo true, which is to often these days.
5. I love being outside with my kids and a good book, too bad I get caught up in the humdrum of everyday life to often to remember to do it.

I 'm supposed to tag other people....Brooke, Emily, & Tracey.
