Happy Birthday Lisa and "What Chipped Tooth???"



Sunday was my sister in law, Lisa's birthday. I made her a cake for dessert on Sunday and just wanted to thank her for the fun, sanity and calmness she brings to my life. She never judges me when I think I need to call the doctor because my child is "sleeping too much" or "not sleeping enough" or "looks" sick. In fact, she encourages me to do so! :) Lisa is a great friend and I am so glad our husbands are twins.

We love you, Lisa!!


I was going to do a second post, but thought I'd just tack on to the first one. It's a bit of a story, and there is a lot involved, so pay attention...

Saturday morning, I got a phonecall from my sister, Suzanne. Weird, I thought, she NEVER calls so early...especially on a Saturday. She sent a text when I didn't answer. Kevin had a heart attack and they were at St Marks Hospital. I hurried out the door to be with her (thanks again to Jake for being more than understanding with the kids). It turns out he had a moderate attack and would be in the ICU for the night. I came home in the afternoon to change clothes and grab one of the kids (Carson) before I headded back out. Kevin's mother was at St Marks also. She had hip replacement surgery and was planning to go home Saturday morning, but extended her stay one more day. Enter Carson.... He was up later than usual and pumped full of sugar to keep him happy. For those that don't know, lately when Carson gets sleepy, he starts talking about "bonkin heads". Well, aparently he bonked poor Sasha a little too hard...


Jake freaked. He did not want Carson to have a silver cap like he had growing up.


So, a quick trip to the dentist and my brave, brave, brave little boy is as good as new...



PS, I didn't at all mean to skim over Kevin's heart attack. It was such an unexpected shock and I'm so glad he's going to be ok. He and Suzanne have done so much for me and my brothers and sisters. He is a great example to me and I don't know what we would do without him. Love you Kev!!!

Aw yes Danni and him could be friends. Danni has had a chipped tooth for a long time. She chipped it when it was coming in. I am not going to worry a bout it because it is a baby tooth. :D Ok lets set a day. You do it. I am pretty open. Monday is no school so if you wanted to do it then let me know asap..

Hi! I saw your link on Shannon's blog saying "hi" to me. How fun! We miss being in Utah and seeing you guys. Your kids are so cute. I can't believe how much they've grown.

Say hi to everyone for us!

It totally is a daybreak house! I'm excited we are going to live so close to each other! It won't be done until may though. We should definitely get together before then. :)
