Ella's 4th Birthday

We celebrated Ella's 4th birthday on the 3rd of Jan!  What a CR-a-ZY week it was!  They got their hearing aides in that Monday, Dec 31st, and then George and Tawne came out to visit us on the 1st!  It was a great week, but very tiring!  Just all new things with Keegan and Ella...  But it was good!  :)

I didn't go all out on Ellas cake, or birthday, b/c I was beat!  But we did have cake and presents!  Since she can't tell me what her favorite meal is, I cooked the pork potstickers, egg flower soup and then we had cake.  I TOTALLY forgot to get the rice going before it was too late, so that's why no rice!  :) Egg flower soup is so easy and everyone really likes it!  :)  Can't believe HOW MUCH soy sauce we have gone through in the last 3 months!!!  Lets say it's been atleast 2 bottles if not 3!!!  ;)  It's really good on rice...  ;)  and I've cooked ALOT of rice...  Uh, a friend bought us the 25 pound bag of rice (I paid them back...  ;)) from BJ's, and that is gone...  I had it for 2 1/2 months...  ;)  What can I say?  It's a great filler and cheap and yummy!  :)

Ok, back to her birthday!  I really didn't know what to expect from her.  I didn't know how much she would get, although we've gone through a birthday with Keegan, so she knew.  And boy did she HAM IT UP!!! I think she understood!  :)

I made her a chocolate Hello Kitty cake and George did the outline of her face, and then we both got it "colored" in and decorated.  So had supper, cake, and then presents!  :)

Never had a birthday SOOOO close to Christmas before!  Went into Target and Kotah said oh mom, we could get this!  I said, what?  We aren't getting that?  We just had Christmas!  She said, mom, Ella.  Me, lightbulb moment...  ;)

A few pics of her birthday...  ;)

Cancelled

What a busy crazy day! Curt left right away this morning around 7 to get his blood taken.  He got back and then Audrey got here.  We played and picked up for a bit then left to go to the Health Department to get our TB test done.  We got there around 10ish and they told us we needed to make an appointment.  So we waited for a bit to make an appointment.  Thankfully they had an opening for today yet.  They only do these tests on Friday, so we really didn't want to have to wait until next Friday if at all possible.  Got an appointment for 1:15 and 1:30.  I was thinking ugh, either no nap and very little nap, but I didn't care!  ;) Got home, cleaned up a bit more, got the kiddos some lunch, then we turned around and left to go back to the Health Department.  (I did NOT see the water guy! ;)) Got back there, got asked some questions, wanted to know why I need the test...  I said adoption.  They saw all the other 5 kids and as...

Run-Aways

Wow, this has seriously been an eventful week! Starting off with the whole fabric softener mis-hap, which you can read on here if you didn't see or hear about it! Then Curt left Monday nite, Tuesday, well, it was ok, we had mom's group and the kids were acting up a bit, but nothing too bad... Then Wednesday I had a meeting at the church... It started out ok, the meeting wasn't long at all! Gavin came into the room and said he wanted to go play outside on the playground. I told him no, because I couldn't see him. I said, what if someone came by and picked you up and grabbed you and took you somewhere? Mommy would never see you again and I would be soooo sad! I said, I can't see you, so you need to stay inside. Well, not more than 3 minutes passed and Kotah comes up to me and says, uh, mom, Gavin is trying to go outside. So, I get up, go over to him and talk. I asked him what is he doing? he says, I WANT to play OUTSIDE! I said, bubby, I can't see you, so you can...

Update on Dad...

Mom called a little while ago. Dad will be admitted, they aren't sure yet what caused the pain. He had fever, but it now is broken. He is also a little jaundice, so that is why they were/are thinking that his stent moved... They had to poke him 3 different times to try and get an IV in, his veins were so tight because he was in so much pain, he was tensing up. They took some blood from both arms and are still waiting on the results of that. They also did a chest x-ray. So still waiting, but atleast he isn't in any pain. The gave him a shot of morphine to take care of the pain, and it finally worked.
