Barber Bustlings

Yesterday was a really rough day. Both of my boys get bronchiolitis when they get any kind of congestion; basically they wheeze and we use breathing treatments every four hours for a week until they get better. Their breathing isn't too labored, but they don't sound very good. Landon has been wheezing since Sunday so I took him in to the Dr. yesterday. The nurse practitioner checked his oxygen level and it was 99% so he was getting oxygen despite the wheezing. I assumed she would tell me to continue the breathing treatments at home every four hours for the next week. This is the same procedure with each boy every time either one gets a cold and it goes straight to his lungs. I was very surprised when she told me I needed to take Landon to the E.R. immediately. I asked a lot of questions, mainly, “Why am I taking him to the E.R.? Is it really that serious? What am I supposed to say when they ask why I am there? Are you sure I need to go to the E.R.” She told me that he needed t...

Scott calls Landon, "Malibu Ken" because he is so tan compared to B and Myles Bailey and her friend, Sarah my cute boys Here are the kiddos as we walk Bailey to school. Landon is so tan compared to B and Myles. This past week has gone by so quickly. Bailey is loving school. Myles still asks about preschool; unfortunately it doesn't start until September 1st. We have been swimming in the afternoons. The weather has been so nice lately (105 is much better than 110+) and I went jogging the other morning. It was so refreshing. I'm trying to get ready for the 10K I am running in two weeks in Prescott. We are headed up for Labor Day weekend to the mountains and cooler air. We are renting a cabin with friends and I can't wait. My sister had her baby on Sunday. McKinley was 9 lbs and 11 days overdue. My poor sister seems to be following in my footsteps with kids who like to overstay their welcome. Tyler and his wife welcomed a son, Madden on Arycca's due date, August ...

Landon still tilts his head to the left Myles actually fell asleep in front of a movie a typical morning before walking B to school Here is an update on the past three weeks: Scott and I had our first overnighter without kids in 5 years! It was wonderful and we are so grateful to have good friends who made it possible for us. We went the day before his birthday and stayed at a nice resort in Scottsdale; we slept in, we ate out, we went swimming, went to the movies and got Scott a nice stereo addition that enables him to use his Iphone while he drives his hour to and from work each day for our little family. I will speak for him and say that this was his best birthday in a long time. I missed my kids, but not as much as I thought I would. The next weekend Scott and his friend, Steve, went to L.A. for a mancation. They saw a Dodgers' game, an Angels' game and the Rancho Cucamonga Quakes play. It was all baseball all weekend and when he told me the Dodgers' game went into the ...
