A little scare...

This last week on tuesday we had a little scare. Mason Elyse was eating her cereal up to the bar. She decided to stand up on her stool and walk from one to the other to heat up her bread in the toaster. As she stepped from one stool to another she lost her footing and landed head first. This is not the first time Mason has taken a tumble on her head so I did not panic. I picked her up, calmed her down, and had her start watching a movie. About 5 minutes later though she informed me that she was tired and wanted a nap. RED FLAG! Now I was worried Mason does not even nap. I loaded her into the van and drove to the doctors office. The whole time yelling at her to keep her awake. She got more and more pale as we drove. When we finally reached the instacare she started to throw-up. They immediately called the ambulance. As the ambulance arrived so did Met and he followed us in the truck to the E.R. Mason was pretty loopy as we drove down and they could not get an I.V into her little veins. As we exited into St. George she stopped responding at all and did not respond for about 45 min. to an hour. They did a cat scan and she was still unresponsive. They talked about life flight and I was getting very scared. Then they tried to put another I.V in and she came through with a vengeance. The cat scan came back clear and they discharged us with a list of things to watch for. She did have a pretty nasty concussion. I am so thankful she is alright. I think she took a year or two off of my life.

Spring+break= IRONIC

So this week is "spring break" all of the girls are home from school. I have been struck with the irony of this statement. Let us examine the two words. "Spring" Is it suppose to snow in the spring? I do not think so. This week has been wet and cold. "Break" this word makes you think of rest and relaxation. That is not what I have been experiencing. So far we have gone to orthodontist and we have had dentist appointments. We have also been cleaning out closets and drawers. Tons of laundry, double the dishes, way more messes to clean up. On top of all that the girls think that they need to have fun so off to the Aquatic Center, Brit got to go on a date with mom and dad. Park play group for Mason. Delivering girls to friends house and picking them up goes on all day. Do not forget the birthday parties and heading to Grafton to take care of cows. And I still really want to take them hiking in Zion, I have a pass and need to use it. Anyway it is strange that this week is being called SPRING BREAK...... did I mention I am loving it. My girls are so so so fun. I think I am raising my best friends. 

Thanks for posting for me Kendra!
