Kings' Halloween

We had a great Halloween. Bella was Cindy Loo-Who, Carson was Dash, and Sophia was an Octopus. Good times were had by all.

Happy Halloween!

Kayson the Pirate and Lilly the Scarecrow!

We got the World Series!!!

It took some patience but we did it. We don't have cable and our apartment is right up against the mountain so the bunny ears don't work to well. We discovered our fingers work great! We had to pass the cable cord back an forth because our hands would get tired but we were able to watch 3 games. It is amazing what we will do for a little entertainment.

It is in Scott's right hand

If you aren't WS fans you probably didn't know everyone in America can get a free taco from Taco Bell for the first stolen base in the WS. You can get it on the 30th of Oct from 2-5 pm. Even the players knew about it! Check out this video, it is pretty funny. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7QI8C9gW1Y0

Happy Birthday Abby! 21!

I love my sister so much that I am posting this birthday note. To prove my love I posted a picture that is HORRIBLE of me and AMAZING of Abby. Happy Birthday Sissy. I still remember driving from Monticello to Logan when you were born. Tatum, Sam, and I were soooo excited and couldn't sleep at Grandma Hurren's house. Grandpa tried to get us back to sleep but gave up and let us play with toys and talk about our new sister. I remember going to the hospital and standing outside the door and hearing you cry and Tatum saying, "Mom turned into a baby?!" When I held you for the first time you looked the same as you do now, minus hair. Its true. I can still see it. When we came home to Monticello mom came to my class and you were my show and tell for the day. I had a little wooden cradle and since you were mom's fourth baby she was a little more relaxed and would let me put you in the cradle, like a doll. I am so proud of you Abby and for the awesome twenty something you have become! Happy Birthday!

So here are some pictures I've wanted to send out, but just havn't had the time. This is Satchy waterskiing at Lake Powell this summer...who loves Lake Powell? We need to make our next family reunion there!

Bandera Volcano

All these pictures are being posted with the intention of getting you all to come visit us. I know it seems unlikely, but there is a lot of awesome and uniquely New Mexico things to do here. This is an open invitation...anytime!

We went hiking about an hour from our house to Bandera Volcano. It the best preserved Volcano in America. It was amazing...and an easy hike for the kids.

A Glimpse of our life!

Last weekend Scott, Lilly, and I took a little trip to the memorial site of the Mountain Meadows Massacre. It was a neat experiance, it is sacred ground. I thought I would share some of the pictures that we took.

This is the grave site monument. President Hinckley dedicated it in 1997. The victims were from Arkansas and were traveling the Old Spanish Trail to California. The flowers that are on the ground next to us are acompanied by Arkansas state flags.

This is a memorial site that has the name and ages of all that were killed. There were several that were under the age of 8.


I am hoping that you can make this bigger and read it. It tells a brief story of the Mtn. Meadow Massacre which happened on September 11, 1857


On to a happier note, Lilly is starting to sit up! She is still a little unsteady but she is doing great! We have started feeding her rice cereal about 3 times a week you can't really tell in this picture but she has it all over her face!




We call her our little Yoda!!


She loves this saucer! When we first put her in it she couldn't touch the bottom and she just looked at the toys on it. Now she can stand up and loves grabbing at the toys!


I put Lilly down for a nap and she was grunting and talking to herself for about 10 minutes, I went to check on her and this is what I found when I turned the corner to got to her room!


This is what I found when she feel asleep!

....and that's why we don't eat money!

So we had quite the fiasco this weekend. It all began on my birthday last Wednesday, I was washing my face, getting ready for bed when I hear Sophia choking. I run to her and she throws up in my hands (happy birthday to me). I notice that she is playing with some coins from my jewelry box so when I dump the vomit in the toilet I sift through it to see if she dislodged a coin (funny how its not gross when you are a mom). I figure that is what she was choking on so I call my pediatric clinic. They tell me that it happens all the time and that the coin should pass within a week, if it doesn't, to call them and they will do some x-rays. So the next few days go by and I notice that she is a little bit cranky and drooling now and again. I call the clinic again and they tell me not to worry, that she might just be teething and that if she is breathing normally and eating that she is fine. She keeps telling people, "I ate money!" Seth flew home from Chicago on Saturday and on Sunday he made the kids pancakes. Sophia usually downs 6-7 pancakes but on Sunday she barely ate one and then throws up in Seth's hands (happy belated birthday to dad). I come home from a meeting and Seth tells me that he has a feeling the coin is in her throat. After calling my MIL (who is an RN) I give in and take her to the after hours clinic. The doctor doesn't think there is a problem but orders an x-ray just to be safe. Low and behold father does know best.

There is a HUGE coin in her esophagus. The doctor sends me to Primary Children's ER to get it removed. You would think the story ends there-not to spoil the ending but it doesn't end for 12 more hours! As I am sitting in the waiting room to add to the fun some wanna be Paris Hilton mom comes in with her two kids who she thinks have meningitis. She just lets them wander around the waiting room touching and playing with other kids. She tries to put the "cute little masks" on them but they won't keep them on. How silly mom Paris! So because of the reckless germ spreading I keep Sophia snug on my lap. An hour later they call us back to the Radiology lab where they tell me I have 3 options:
1. Keep the coin in her throat. (Who chooses that?)
2. Have a surgeon remove it with a scope.
3. Quickly have the radiologist remove it with some balloon mechanism.
The radiologist tells me that #3 is the best answer. It is quick and easy and it is how everyone does it. He tells me that he has never seen it not work. I choose #3.
They then have me leave the room and papoose Sophia to a mummy board. (Basically they ace bandage her to a board so she can't move). Sophia screams the whole time. I sob the whole time. The radiologist comes out and tells me they weren't successful and walks away.
Next I am taken to an ER room. I talk to the ER doctor who wants to know why I went with the radiologist. I tell him that I have no idea, they just came and got me. Major Drama in the ER. Apparently you never remove foreign objects with that method if they have been in the body for more than 2 days. So I cry because I put my daughter through that for no reason. Sophia in the meantime is in the fetal position in my lap. I then wait another 2 hours for the surgeon to come talk to me. Seth arrives as we are talking to the surgeon. He tells us that it is going to be another 2-3 hours before he can perform the extraction. We wait 2 more hours in the ER. They won't let Sophia eat or drink (because she is getting surgery) and she hasn't eaten since pancakes for breakfast. She is totally dehydrated and pale. I ask the nurse if they can get her hooked up to an IV because I am worried. The nurse says they can't yet. I start crying again and embarrassed I explain that I am crying because she hasn't eaten all day and it is really hard to ignore her cries for water. The nurse tells me, "There are kids in this hospital who have been waiting to eat a lot longer than your little girl." I walk back into our room a total mess. They then move us out of the ER to a regular room. They finally start her IV. She hates the IV experience and Seth tells her-and that's why we don't eat money! She falls asleep crying for water. About 4 hours later they take her into surgery and remove the coin-a nickel. It took about 5 minutes. They take us back the the room and she downs 2 cups of apple juice. We leave 2 hours later. It was such a crazy experience. I am usually a pretty calm person when it comes to things like this but I was a total train wreck. I felt like the care we received at Primary Children's was horrible. We kept the nickel that the surgeon, ironically named Dr. Nichol removed. The experience is still so fresh that I am not laughing about yet but I know later I will. And that's why we don't eat money!
