This is my angel while at the ER and hospital.

Yeah, Lance spent some time with her too! :)

This lady charmed the pants off of every nurse and respiratory therapist there. She smiled at every single person -all the strange faces. Sabrina is the sweetest little love.

I had to take a picture of the EVIL mural on the wall! It's a pimp humpty-dumpty with a VULTURE waiting next to him. It would be disturbing if a child understood how horrible this "art" really was! Logan Regional: PLEASE RE-THINK YOUR TASTE HERE...

We are home now. I have a nebulizer, a snot-sucker, an oxygen machine, and a bill to cry over. ...But my baby is okay. She's getting better. I am blessed.

*Thank you to all my friends and in-laws and family who stepped up and helped us during this difficult time. Your support means the absolute world to me.

ER

Been in the hospital for the last little while. I'll post pictures later- my baby Sabrina has RSV. :( There are worse things, but watching her fight for her breath, watching her be stuck with a needle so many times I lost count (including multiple times in the head) with no success, watching her plead with those eyes not to be hurt again -knowing it was coming, yet, still smiling at the NICU nurses who were trying to help her...

I have a new little hero.

Valentine Tea

Tea was on her mind as she scurried out the door, filled with anticipation for the day. Ella carried with her some carefully crafted Valentines for each of the children in her class. Her dad showed up at the eleventh hour with additional treats for her friends. She skipped ahead to the doors of the little school -chocolate and cinnamon swirling in the air- and the little sweetheart experienced yet another rite of passage.

...Growing up too fast.

Superbowl 2010

Sunday afternoon we spent with Lance's family doing the whole Superbowl thing! It was an absolute BLAST!

Here's Scotty and Candace enjoying the game!

Debbie and Donny.

Aneesa had fun with Sabrina. Do you see her little boots? Too precious.

Mia's good time was such that exhaustion set in quite quickly. Bless her heart, she never did get an actual nap that day!

The football lover, enjoying his game!

Let's see more of that baby!

I CAN'T GET ENOUGH OF THIS BABY!

SABRINA ANNE

a friend in need

With many many many thanks to my FUNKIEST friend in town, I got about 2 1/2 hours of child-free time to just CLEAN my sad house.

I feel a million times better.

Thanks, babe.

This last weekend...

Well, I was the instigator of a fun sister-esque gathering in SLC for Mary's burp-day over the weekend. I didn't plan much, just some food assignments, etc. Rachael had an excellent idea of doing scarfs and watching chick-flicks. I love my sisters so so so much, and absolutely cherish the time I have with them.

...I'm so sorry I wasn't all there.

step 1

Who the heck took my Carmen Electra Strip Aerobics??? It's hard to make step one happen without her. I found the "fit to strip" dvd, but I'm still on el-loser-figure-it-out-beginner, and need my level 1. More to come on this endeavor.

blog-slacker

I haven't been super up-to-date on all the blogging that I mean to do. A blog is, well, sure it's a history for my family -for myself. Yet, more than that, it's VERY indulgent. I love to write. I love to write about me, about my family, friends, things we do, and more me.

ME:
I am a slacker right now. I am a slacker mom. I am a slacker cook (bad, really). I am a slacker house-keeper -who has GOT to sort out new/old clothes to get some bigger stuff for Sabrina. I am a slacker wife who should be gettin' in much better touch with her inner sex-kitten (who?). I am a slacker bill-payer, but that's mostly because of all the debits that I don't know about.

Suggestions? I have GOT to slack off the slacker and rejuvenate the woman that I mean to be. For those who are directly affected by my 'tude, I am really quite sorry. I will get better. I should blog about my efforts.

...We'll see...

:)

Bumbo Boxing

Terrific family fun.

Chaedon hung out with us this weekend. ...Man, the girls LOVE that boy! He's their favorite toy!

I will sanitize the bumbo before we get it back to ya, Mach. :D
