Lillians Surgery Update

I am just waiting to hear from the Nurse on the time for Lillian surgery for tomorrow. For those of you who don't know, Lilly is having a tonsilectomy and adenoidectomy tomorrow. She has enlarge tonsils and adenoids and on top of that asthma (she does albuteral treatments 3 times a day...see below) and sleep apnea. She has been such a little trooper through all this. She always has a smile on her face. And is excited to get her treatments because that is her time to sing songs with mommy. I am getting really good at "Itsy bitsy spider", "Popcorn popping on the apricot tree" and her favorite "There was a little house in the middle of the woods." What a special little thing. Maybe she'll be able to get a full nights sleep without waking up crying because she can't breath and starts gagging, throwing up because she is gasping for breath. She goes in on Wednesday to Primary childrens Hospital and will be staying over night to watch her already low oxygen levels.Thanks to all of those that have said prayers and concerns for her. We know she is well loved. Blake will give her a blessing tonight and I know she will heal fast. Her Heavenly Father is with her. We love you sweet Lillybug. You are our joy. You are our comic relief. You brighten everyones life with your smile and your "hi's" and "Hello's" May God continue to Bless you. We love you sweet Lilly bug!!!

**Honey-are you crying??**

Christmas..

Merry Christmas!!!

You'll have to bear with me..I have a lot of Photos to get through. I hope everyone had a very Merry christmas. Enjoy the photos...

Here is our family Photo...the girls didn't want to smile but that is okay (sorry taken at my desk) We'll send some out this week to friends and family.
Here is Sweet Emily. She is teething her second bottom tooth. Her favorite Spot is on Daddy's tummy. What a cutie.
Here is Lilly in her Christmas Outfit.Lillybug and her Aunt Tammy. I love this picture.Gracie and her favorite Cousin BayleyOlsen family are we big or what??Lillybug checking out the cousinsGrandpa with his Chirstmas Gift from Steve. Do you think he is happy??christmas pie caos.Christmas Moring. The Loot.Blakes face when he sees the laptop I told him he wasn't getting. He loved it.Lilly first waking up to Christmas morning. It took us an hour to get her to wake up. She was pretty tired.This is how Emily opens gifts. She spits them open. I think she would have rather played with all the paper than the actual gifts.
Grandpa and Grandma came over to see the kids and grandpa made Lilly her own christmas hat out of butterfly catchers.


Christmas Hat!! Look at my dad in the back ground. He is cracking up. Lilly was pretty proud of it.
Last of all, tubbies. My sweet "little" Emily can now take tubbies in the sink. She loves it.
We had a great Christmas. I hope everyone else did as well.
Happy New Year!!

Christmas Picture attempts

I swear, we tried and tried to get all the girls to smile and look at the camera..theses are the best shots we got.

tubby time

My best friend and her Daughter, Sophia, where in town for Jills Grandma's funeral. It was great to see them and spend time with them. Here are some pictures we took of Gracie and Sophia...the girls had a blast spending time together. They are becoming as good of Friends and Jillie and I. The two girls had a blast in the big jetted tub. They had a tubbie full of bubbles. Its always good to have friends you can act silly with.

Its my Potty!!!

Well, Lilly did it. She went Potty on the Potty! Happy DAY! I think it sort of shocked her at first but then after watching her mommy act like a total nut cheering and what not I think she thought it was sort of fun. Now lets hope that the trend continues.

the roll over

This is Emily rolling over. She has done it before but never for the camera. I tried to video tape it but she would never preform...so here she is...The amazing Emily Jill rolling over....

Wonder Woman

Here is my sweet Gracie. Grandma Olsen found my old Wonder Woman outfit my aunt Cathy made me 30 years ago. Gracie LOVES it. She didn't take it off all weekend. She asked what was on her tummy and I said it was an Eagle. So now she runs around the house saying she is Wonder Woman with a Seagull on her tummy. Nut!! I hope she does save the world one day.

"Wonder Woman, Wonder Woman. All the world's waiting for you,
and the power you possess.
In your satin tights,
Fighting for your rights
And the old Red, White and Blue.
Wonder Woman, Wonder Woman.
Now the world is ready for you,
and the wonders you can do.
Make a hawk a dove,
Stop a war with love,
Make a liar tell the truth.
Wonder Woman,
Get us out from under, Wonder Woman.
All our hopes are pinned on you.
And the magic that you do.
Stop a bullet cold,
Make the Axis fall,
Change their minds, and change the world.
Wonder Woman, Wonder Woman.
You're a wonder, Wonder Woman."

Happy Birthday Lillian #1

Happy 2nd Birthday to Lillian LaRae. She had a great birthday. We took her out to dinner at the Mayan (we have pictures i'll put on later) and she loved watching the divers. Sunday, she had cousins, Aunts and Uncles and her grandparents come over and have dinner (hogies) and yummy Fairy Cake. I don't think she realized it was all for her. She was pretty wired by the time everyone left. She had a great day. She is such a special little joy in my life. She was so perfect when she was born and hasn't let me down since. I love her. Happy Birthday Sweet Lillybug.

happy birthday Lillian #2

Here are some more pictures of Lilly's party. She had a great time. So did Emily. She is pretty tired. She is teething two bottom teeth at the same time. Poor baby.
