New Pictures of the kids :)

Kailey and Kayden-Teeth!!!

What's with all the teeth??? :)
Kailey had a dentist appt today, and i've been really nervous about it because they were using gas. She is so dang little and skinny that it freaks me out to know that they would be using something like that on her but after seeing her today I would do it again in a heartbeat! She did awesome today! She has a couple of her back teeth that never formed right so they had to go in and build them up because they are her permanent teeth. They had to give her a few shots and she didn't even mind it a bit. She just layed back and watched her movie. I was so glad that things went well for her and that it was a horrible experience for her. If her teeth are anything like mine, she will be visiting the dentist often.... I kept her home from school today because I knew her mouth would be pretty sore. She layed around and watch movies most of the day.

Next is Kayden... and guess what, he has another tooth that came in on and has another one on the way. He only has one more, and all 4 molars will be in. This poor kid has had a rough time with teeth!

Update on Grandma Merrill

Grandma Merrill went home from the hospital today!!! She had her surgery yesterday and the Dr said they think they got it all and that everything should be ok now. We went up and saw her at the hospital yesterday. I don't know if she remembers seeing us, but we'll remind her later :) She was in alot of pain yesterday, it was really sad.
Bruce drove up and saw her today and said she is doing really well and had been up walking around already. She is such a trooper! We're all so happy that she is feeling a little better today. I just hope she takes it easy and takes care of herself!

Gathering for Grandma Merrill

Today was kind of a hard day. We all gathered up at Grandma and Grandpa Merrill's house for dinner and for the guys to give Grandma a blessing for her upcoming surgery. We found out this past Friday that she has cancer and will need to have a pretty serious surgery to have it taken care of. I'm still having a hard time accepting that she will need this. She has always been in such great shape and has always been very active, so I was very shocked to hear something was actually wrong.

It was a really great day seeing everyone and spending time with eachother but it was hard knowing that soon Grandma will be having a rough few weeks recovering from her surgery. I hate when people I care about have to go through something so horrible. We all know that she will be ok, but it still hard.

More teeth!!!

So... I get a text from my sister today.... Kayden has another tooth and more on the way!!! He now has 9 teeth!!! This poor baby is getting them one after another!! We kind of thought something was going on because he has been a little crabby the last couple of days, now we know why! I set up his first dentist appt yesterday. He doesn't go for a few months but the first appt is just to get them used to going to the dentist anyways. The kids dentist is very kid friendly and the dentist is great, so hopefully things go well :)

April 16th, 2008

Today was a great... busy day!!! Today was my birthday. Anyone that knows me, knows that I hate attention. So, today was one of those days I didn't really want to go to work because everyone knew about it. Last year, I got out of it because I was working from home since Kayden was only a few months old. I came down stairs and Kailey and Bruce sang "Happy Birthday" and gave me presents, it was really cute! I get to work and was there for a couple of hours when I get a picture message with the picture below.
The message says "I came to see you on your birthday, come and get me." So cute and such a great surprise!!! Allissa brought the babies in to see me! Yeah!!!
For lunch of group of us from work went out to Blue Iguana for lunch. Yummy! Not on my diet at all but so good and worth it!

Kailey's dentist appt: Kailey had a dentist appt today for her 6 month check up. Not sure why I scheduled it today but oh well. She has a couple of teeth that didn't form all the way and since they are permanent teeth they have to fix them. She has to go back on the 29th to have them fixed. Kind of scary because they will be giving her laughing gas.... It makes me really nervous!

Next was Kailey's first day of Girl Scouts! She was so excited for this day to finally come! While she was at Girl Scouts, Bruce and I went and got take out from Famous Daves, took it home and ate. Yummy!!! Again... not on the diet, but oh so yummy!! After I picked up Kailey we got Cold Stone ice cream.

This was actually one of the better birthday's I've had in years, Bruce made it really fun this year! Now i'm done with getting attention for another year! Yeah!!! That is my favorite part :)

Grandma and Grandpa Merrill

Today we had dinner up at Grandma and Grandpa Merrill's house. They have been down at their house in St George so this is the first we've seen them for a while. We love them both and are glad they are back home so that we can see them more. Kailey was very excited when we got there because this was new people to tell that she was starting Girl Scouts! She also couldn't wait to play around on the piano. After dinner Grandma helped Kailey play some songs and showed Kailey how to work some of the fancy buttons. Kailey was loving every minute of it. Kayden also loves music and was soon was climbing up on Grandma so he could join in the fun :)

New pics of Kayden

Nothing really new happening around our house, but Kayden looked so cute today I decided to take more pictures :)

He has this little plastic baseball that he got from Aunt Mona and Uncle Mike and he LOVES it!!! He drags it around every where, even up the stairs... it's hillarious to see him crawl up the stairs and try to carry that ball.

Happy Birthday Garrett!

Today was Garrett's 1st birthday, this year has gone by so fast! I can't believe both babies are already one!!! Garrett had a great day and LOVED his yummy cake!

check out my sisters blog for all the cute pics www.sohafamily.blogspot.com

Another new tooth

Today Kayden got another new tooth! It is #8 for him!!! He now has 4 on top and 4 on bottom. He is getting so many teeth so fast!

Kayden's New Haircut

First Hair Cut

Kayden had his first hair cut! It turned out so cute! Aunt Allissa found this cute hair salon for little kids called "Cookie Cutters". It is such a good place and the girl that cut Kayden and Garrett's hair was so awesome! They let them sit in a a car, train, etc and they pick out a dvd to watch while getting their hair cut. Garrett did great, and didn't really care what was happening to his hair because he was watching the movie and playing with the car. Kayden was another story... First of all, it was nap time and 2nd of all... clippers! He is very sensitive to noises :) He was fine until she turned on the clippers and then he just cried the rest of the time. Overall, his hair looks so cute! He looks like a big boy now.
