Number TWO
We had a little party for Tayten at his Daddy's house on Thursday night. Colby has spent the last few months remodeling his entire house and a few weekends ago he moved back home. Tate got his first lacrosse stick, which we hope will be the first of many. Hopefully he will follow in Uncle Andy's footsteps and play High School lacrosse. Tate calls it a "hoop". I think it is the netting that makes him think it is a hoop. Andy and Al showed him some slick moves and really quickly he was able to toss the ball right out of the stick. Smart boy.
As you probably already know Tate LOVES trains. It doesn't have to be Thomas, in fact I have never even heard him say "Thomas", they are all just trains or choo choos to him. Colby bought him these adorable Thomas big boy underwear and Aunty Al thought he needed to try them out over his diaper. He was a little shy and unsure but his little legs and backside looked so cute!!
He got so many train things and other gifts. He also got an adorable Hurley outfit from Grandma & Grandpa Thomson. Can't wait to see him wearing that at the lake.
Daddy surprised him with a power wheels tractor & trailer. Tate loved it so much! He was so patient while Aunt Al went to work with the power tools to put it together. As you can see he thought he was pretty hot stuff. He would try to stand on it and jump off. No fear for this kid!(Yes, he has gum in his mouth, in most of these pictures)
Al had to get going to a Vistauns meeting, so we lit the candles and sang Happy Birthday. When we were singing he was very shy and embarrassed and the first time he wouldn't blow the candles out without Daddy right by his side, but then he wanted to blow them out again and again. I think I re-lit those candles at least ten times so he could blow them out. He started out tasting his cake with one finger, then two fingers and then he leaned right in and took a big bite, right out of the side of the cake. That's my boy! He asked for a "poon" I offered him a fork and a spoon, he took the fork from me and demolished the cake while saying "Nummy, Nummy!" in between bites.
I can't wait to see him on Monday night now that the tractor battery is all charged up and ready to roll.
Happy 2nd Birthday to my little man. I love you more than anything, sweet boy!

Blessed
On this long Memorial Weekend when we are all trying not to be crabby about the crappy weather, and all we want is a day or two full of warm sunshine, we all need to stop, take a minute or more and remember how blessed we are that our weather only consists of cold temperatures and rain drops and say a prayer for the people whose lives have been completely and totally devastated and changed forever. We still have our homes, to protect us from the rain and cold, we have our families and so many more blessings. Think about it! I know I will be.
This is a picture of Joplin, MO LDS Stake Center that was destroyed in the tornado. 8people hid in the bathroom. All 8 survived. Amazing.
God Bless America...

Trade In
Tuesday afternoon I was sitting at work and really quickly felt very feverish and had a strong backache on my right side. Seriously, one minute I am fine having a conversation etc... and within a few minutes I feel horrible. Unfortunately, I have had too much experience with these symptoms and I knew exactly what it was. I had a kidney infection. No warning, boom and there it is. I left work early that day and went home, laid on the heating pad and contemplated the thought of going to the Instacare which is a whole bunch more $$$$ than waiting until the morning and paying for an office visit.
So I took some pain pills, slept on the heating pad and then headed to the Dr. in the morning. Yep, sure enough I had once again diagnosed myself correctly. The Dr's always seem so surprised that I am right. By now, they should just call in the Levaquin and save me the $$$$ for the office visit and let me put the letters MD behind my name.
I have been on the Levaquin now 24 hours and I am feeling much better. Fever gone, backache still lingering but that will go away soon. They want me to see a specialist again, yeah, yeah yeah.
I am ready to trade in my old, defective, sickly kidney for a shiny new one... right off the kidney lot. What's the blue book on a used, highly ineffecient kidney these days?
