FLOUR Power!

The last couple weeks in December and the first week into January I was having really bad contractions! So I went to the Dr. and my blood pressure was high and the babies heart rate was 180. So they wanted to do a couple of test. They took a urine sample, gave me an ultra sound to see if the baby was ok, and give me an IV of fluids cause I was a little dehydrated. I was there for a total of 5 1/2 hrs! The dr finally came in to see me and he told me I had a bladder infection. He wanted me on anitbiotics for a week and to come back the following week. I was hurting and the whole weekend wasn't fun. I didn't realize how painful a bladder infection was. When Sunday came around I stayed home so I could get some rest and it hurt to bend over. I HATE missing church. Even as a kid growing up I never missed church even if I was sick. So I slept for like 2 hrs. Then I decided that I felt good enough to cook dinner. Justin forgot to get the roaster down from the pantry, I thought no problem I can get it. I stood on the flour bin and fell right through! Both feet! The bucket started to tip so I got one foot out to keep my balance but that didn't work. I hit my head on the doorframe and plopped on my butt in the hall while my other foot was jammed in the bin. I tried getting out but sitting up while you're prego on the ground is hard. I didn't have my phone by me so I couldn't call my mom, and the door blocked the clock so I didn't know what time the fam would be coming home from church. So instead of sitting I layed down. For those of you who have seen Money Pit I was reminded of the scene where Tom Hanks got stuck in the hole in floor with the rug all around him. He was there for a while so he started the "Name Game." I started to laugh to myself and was about to start playing the game too until Tyler comes running through the door. He saw me and asked if I was ok. Justin came in and saw me lying there. He thought I was joking cause he couldn't see my leg in the flour until he opened the door wide. He was concerned, so he helped me up and both the kids busted up laughing. Justin got mad and said, "This isn't a laughing matter." I looked at him and said, "Yes it is!" We all started laughing. He didn't help me out of the flour cause he had to grab the camera. So this was the result..........

The lesson I learned: Not to stand on flour buckets!

Catching Up

So it's been a while so I'm gonna do a bit of catching up for ya for the last year.



August: Zoey's Birthday! It was a blast! Me and Zoey got dressed up in dresses and I let Zoey wear my wedding tiara and we had a tea party. Just me and her! It was so much fun! She thought she was the most special little girl ever. I made cookies, scones, and a sparkling drink. Then I pulled out these glass party trays that came with tea cups. She loved it and we had fun. Later that night we opened her presents and she got a lot of good stuff! My little 3 year old!

September: We celebrated Justin's birthday. School finally started for both of the kids which is GREAT!!!! Then we took family pictures up in the canyon with the colored leaves!

October: We celebrated Tyler's 5th birthday. We went to Pirate Island Pizza and all the kids came in their costumes. We invited My mom, Abby and fam, Sarah and Jake (my cousin and boyfriend), Brindy and Lydia, and Leah Lilly and Saige. It was a lot of fun! We ate pizza, played arcade games, and watched Tyler open his presents! He thought it was the best day ever which it was. Then we got ready the next day for trunk or treat!

November: I wish I had pictures for this part but I don't dang it!!! For my birthday Justin treated me to a vacation. I mean literally! He flew me to VA for 3 days to hang out with Nicolette and his parents. When I first got there I stayed with Nic. The next morning she did my hair, I played with Gabe, she made me a special lunch, we watched movies, ate dinner and had a blast! The next morning we had breakfast got ready and went over to Carol's house. She made me lunch, we played games, and then went out to dinner to Chilis. Nic ordered me Lava Cake...YUM!!!! Next day I had to go home. :( As I was getting in my sit I was in a hurry cause everyone was staring and the guy I sat next to was getting annoyed so in my rush I popped my knee! So I popped it back in place and took my seat! Oh man worst flight ever! In pain the whole way! I had a blast though and it was the best birthday ever!! After my b-day was Thanksgiving. Fun as usually and very tasty! So since I jacked up my knee Justin took my place in day after Thanksgiving shopping! He loved it and got all the good deals for me! Best Hubby ever huh?

December : So the kids had a Christmas program at the school but I didn't get many pics cause my camera died! It was really cute! Zoey blurted out every song even if she didn't know the words and wore the biggest smile ever! It was really cute!! Later in the month we went to Temple Square to look at the lights! Then Christmas rolled around! It was such a blast! I was soo excited this year cause they were both the perfect age and understood Santa and all that stuff! Zoey got a big dollhouse with accessories, and Tyler got a race car track called Criss Cross Crash! They got a lot of good stuff from Grandma and Grandpa Stoker and friends. I got a KitchenAid and Justin got a Mechanics toolset! Then we went to my mom's and opened presents. Zoey got a Strawberry Shortcake house, Tyler got some people and horses for his farm that actually ride the horses, Justin got TICKET TO RIDE and I got a necklace that you can put charms in it. My mom put both Tyler and Zoeys birthstones and an S for Stoker! It's very pretty and made me cry! Then we had a New Years Party at our house and rang in the New year!

So pretty eventful and a lot of fun! I will try to be better at my blog!
