Poor Brady is in the Hospital again.

WOW.....what a day we had yesterday. Brady and Jossi were at the neighbors play on there swing set, and I was in side trying to get Cooper to take a nap. Raynbow called and said that Brady fell off the glider, and Brady is still crying so I when over to get him. I brought him home and when I look at his arm I knew right then that something was very wrong. So I called Raynbow to have watch Jossi while I took him to the doctor. I packed Cooper and Brady in the car and called my friend Jocelyn to see if her husband was home and if he would look at Brady's arm. She thought that I was joking and trying to get her back for April fool's. I told her I was not joking at all, and that I would be at her house in 2 minutes. By the time I drove less than 5 minutes, Brady's elbow had doubled in size. Tom came out and looked and we both agreed that it was broken. So they took Cooper for me and away we went to the Hospital. I called Nate at the office and told the receptionist to tell Nate that I am taking Brady to the hospital and to have Nate meet me there when he was done with his last patient. So when I got to the hospital valet was closed, but the nice guy went and parked my car for me and brought me my keys. That was a relieve, because after I gave him my keys. I started to wounder if that was the valet guy i just gave my keys to. I was so relieved when he brought my keys to me. Soo.. to make and even longer story short. Brady had to stay over night so that they can do surgery today to put pins in. I did not get home from the hospital until 11:30 last night and I have been up sense 5am, because I can't sleep. I am so worried about his surgery and about my other kids being scattered all over the place. I know Jossi will be fine, but Cooper is the one that I worry about because he will not take a bottle.
I have to get going now so I can get Cooper and Jossi were they need to go, and so that I can get back to Brady before he goes in for surgery at 8am. I will keep you all posted on what is going on and I will get some picture of him to post.
I have always told Nate it will be a miracle if Brady makes it to his 5th birthday with out any broken bone. Mothers intuition.

Pregnant........April Fools

I did the best APRIL FOOLS joke on Nate. I don't get into that much, but my friend JOCELYN HARRIS (how funny is that, that one of my good friends that I meet here in Ohio has the same name as my daughter. Anyways that is a story for another day). Called me on April fools day crying and asked me to run over to her house and get 2 of her kids, because the oldest one fell off the monkey bars and is bleeding really bad and she needs to take her to the ER. So I told her I would be right there. I got off the phone with her and stared telling the kids to hurry up, but as always they were not moving fast enough. So I stared yelling at them to hurry because Sequoia is hurt and we need to go help Jocelyn. So to make a long story short. I had Braden in one arm and Cooper in the other and Joslynn starting to cry because she was scared. Then the phone rang. I grabbed it as I was running out the door and it was Jocelynn on the phone laughing. I could not believe that I fell for that one. So of course I had to pay it forward. My Friend Kristi came over and she did me the kind favor of peeing on the stick for me, and yes she if pregnant. Nate called on his way home and was wanting to know what was wrong, why I sounded so somber. So I told him I would talk when he gets home. Nate then asked is everything okay you sound like some one died. When he walked in the door I showed him the pregnancy test, and he about died. He asked how in the @#$% did that happen, and what in the @#$% are we going to do. After a few more choice words I could not keep a straight face any more. Nate could not believe that he fell for it. I loved it. That was my best trick ever. I was so proud of my work. I could not have pulled it off with out the help of my good friend Kristi. I wish would have got a picture of his face.

I Can't wait for the warm weather, blue skies, and most of all the kids being able to play out side. I hope it comes soon, because we are all getting cabin fever. Bring on the sun and warm days at the zoo. I can't wait.
I Can't believe how fast time flies by. Joslynn is 5. Braden is going to be 3 on the 27th of this month and Cooper is almost 7 months with two teeth. Wow were did the time go.

It's moments like this that I sit back and think, how unfullfilled my life would be with out my sweet kiddies. I can't tell you enough how much I love my babies. I love when Jossi makes Cooper laugh, and when she tells Brady that he is the best brother she has ever had. I love when Brady tells me that his best friend is Jossi, and when he asks if he can hold Cooper or give him huggs. It's things like that, that make up for the not so good days.

YEAH!!! It's a snow day.....

This is it. This is the worst Snow Storm we have ever seen in the 4 1/2 years we have been in Ohio. We feel like we are in Utah again. The kids are loving the snow. They act like the have never seen this much snow before. Then this might be the most snow that they have seen or that they can remember. Yeah it's a snow day, to bad it's Saturday. The funny thing is that are mail was delivered today, but our mail carrier had her husband drive their Cherokee while she delivered it. That is a dedicated mail carrier.

Coopers tooth

Cooper got his first tooth in last week. Poor guy has been so sick and teething, but he sure has been happy. He is so sweet and cuddly. He loves to be held. Joslynn is really good at getting him to smile. She will even get him laughing. Braden try's to wrestle with him and Joslynn loves to dress him and play dolls with him. Jossi is a big helper.

Braden and the stuffing machine.

Braden was scared of the stuffing machine. So Nate told him that it was a snow machine and they will fill his dino full of snow. So then he was okay with that. He named his Dino Rocko. Braden picked out a spider man shirt and a Harley jacket. Joslynn named hers Jasmine and picked out a ballerina outfit. Cooper got a mini dino that has a magnet so that Bradens dino can carry it in it's mouth. I don't think that Cooper will mind that we did not get him a big one. The kids have slept with there animals every night sense they got them. Braden takes Rocko every where we go.
