Lauren

Well, it happened again. Lauren, our sweet little 19 month old baby, had another seizure on Tuesday. I will admitt that this is probably the scariest thing that I have every gone through. I had feeling so powerless and holding her while her body convuses. We took her to the pediatrition and because there was no fever before or after the seizure they are sending her to the pediatric neurologist on May 12. We are praying that everything is ok and that we will find out why shes having the seizures. I'll try and update the blog on everyone else soon.

A WHOLE LOT OF PICTURES AND INFORMATION! February-March

I am sorry that it has taken so long to get a new posting up. It seems as though some days I have less time to do what I want than others. Also it seems that time is pass far faster that it did after Josh was born. So here is an extremely long post to make the grandparents and aunts and uncles happy!




This is the bedroom set that Tyrell got me for Valentines day, Mother's Day, Birthday, St. Patricks Day, Christmas, and anyother holiday for the next 10-20 years! He does have romantic bones (just buried deep)




We had some good weather so Tyrell and the Kids went outside to clean up the yard. Here Emma is trying to help Lauren walk across they front yard. This was probably in the beginning of March!





These are just some more pictures of the kids helping daddy in the back yard. They were in charge of picking up all the sticks and pinecones.....however they were easily distracted and started making a kind of "soup" out of all the yard trash. They had a good time that day. Tyrell also built Emma a swing out of rope and a board...and tied it to the large pine tree in the back yard. She loves it...or rather loved it until Tyrell put up my hammock swing.

Here is a picture of lauren having a great time finding different "treasures" in the yard. She would have to fight Noah for it though!
On March 23, 2009 Emma offically turned 4!! It's hard for me to believe that she's been with us for so long. I made her a pink cake of cupcakes.....when she saw it she turned to me and said.." Mom, it's supposed to be GREEN!" Which I though funny because she is always asking for pink presents from EVERYONE! Anyway we had a good time and had the Dallas Maughan Family to help celebrate! We thought that you would enjoy these pictures and videos that we took of the celebration!

Here is a great shot of Lauren. This was the first time that I can remember her WANTING me to take her picture. She had just finished eating her cupcake and was having a great time! Below: Emma had gotten a new dress from Mommy and Daddy!

Well here is the "reunion" at the Maughan family homestead in Paul, Idaho. It was a blast although very loud and occasionally smell from the abundance of diapers. The grand total of attendee's staying:

11-Adults

15-kids under the age of 5

5- kids over the age of 5

Here are some of our "super heros" One the left is Noah and the right is Hyrum!

Noah just got is new Jammies and he was pretty excited about them! I hope that everyone notices that there is actually a CAPE on the back of these pajamas! Oh COOL HUH?!






This was an Ice Cream Party! This kids loved it, especially because of the ice cream cones.

Emma is such a cheezer! She had so much fun and her grandparents house...especially because of the trampoline and all the playmates! Emma had hitched a ride down to Paul a day earlier with her Aunt Sharlyn. She didn't have any problems with her mom and dad not being there to tuck her in. She told me before she left that she would be ok because Grandma Maughan was going to be there to tuck her in at night.






We had to feed the kids first and then feed the adults because of all the confusion and chaos of feeding 20 kiddies! Most of whom do not understand the word patience! It was unbelieveable to see them all together. There are only 4 grandkids that were not here for the weekend (Nate, Tyler, Sakina, and Nick)

Lauren was living it up at her Grandparents. She would barely make a noise and someone would bring her food or drink. She is still continues to drool however.
No trip to the In-laws would be complete without Tyrell falling asleep on his favorite couch. He had spent alot of ihs time cleaning up his moms yard (which he just love doing) and spending time with his dad. The minute he pulled in the drive way he got out and started helping his Dad fix a tractor.






Suzanne had rallied the kids and got them all to sing for us.....I guess it was really only the older kids that were singing.





Then we had singing time with Uncle Dustin and his Guitar! Head, Shoulders, Knees, and Toes was a popular song as was Scripture power and Jesus wants me for a sunbeam.

Well I do believe this is the proof that I needed to say that Noah is "blessed" with an eye that turns in just like his mommy! I hope he doesn't have to have the thick bottle coke glasses that I had to have.

At the end of the weekend, we were all exhausted. This is a great example of how most of us felt. This is Oliver, one of my nephews. He had been upset about not having M&M's and finally just slumped to the kitchen floor and fell asleep! How he slept on the kitchen floor with all the cleaning and kids running around and screaming is beyond me!






Crazy March storm! We got around 4 to 5 inches! It was pretty depressing to go from the grass turning green to a blizzard!

Here is a picture of our happy little Joshua from today. He loves his jumper and is offically 4 months old. He loves to smile and is not happy unless hes sitting up straight or standing up. He has a great personality thus far! Also a VERY powerful set of lungs! Down below are pictures of Lauren and Noah playing in my shoes. They were haveing so much fun and laughing up a storm. Im so grateful for the children that I've been blessed to have in my life.
