Spring 08

Just some pics of the kids enjoying the wonderful Spring weather!

Zoo Trip

While the kids were off for Spring Break, we took them to Hogle Zoo. We had a great time! Chloe called all of the animals 'Max'. Like she yells at our dog. She was really excited to see them!

Come One, Come All!

Spencer is having his very first art exhibition! We are very excited!! He will present his work at the Scera Art Studios Spring Soiree on Saturday May 10. The opening reception is from 6:30-8:30 but his work will be on display until the 22nd. They are even having a guest speaker. Greg Olsen is an awesome artist, and we are thrilled that he will be at the reception. Here is a sample of his wonderful art:

The exhibition is at the Scera Center for the Arts here in Orem. Need more info? Just let me know!

I HATE Waiting for the Phone to Ring!!

So, it seems like I've spent all week waiting for the phone to ring. Yesterday, I found out that the results for Andraia's EEG were at the doctor's office but I had to wait for the doctor to read them and call us. Have I ever mentioned how impatient I am?

Luckily, I was just sitting down to blog about how much I hate waiting for the phone to ring when...the phone rang! Not the doctor, but my wonderful friend Jacque. Just calling to see if we knew anything. Then, in the middle of our conversation, my cellphone rang. It was the doctor.

The results are.....NORMAL!!!

In a way, I'm not very excited to hear that, because it leaves me with questions.

Did she really have seizures at school?
Was it something else?
Do I still need to watch her like a hawk, just in case?

But I would rather have normal results and be confused than hear that something is horribly wrong.


I truly believe that there has been something going on, but all of the prayers and the blessing from Earl did what they were supposed to do. Our little girl is healthy and happy. We haven't noticed any more problems. What a blessing.

We are so lucky to have friends and family who support and love us. And worthy priesthood holders who were able to help with her blessing. Miracles really do happen. And not just in this situation, but everyday of our lives.

Thank you!

EEG

Andraia had her EEG yesterday. She did really well, especially since she was very afraid of going in the room and laying down on the hospital bed. This picture is what the wires for the EEG look like. I didn't take my camera, but if you can picture Andraia with all of these coming off of her head....it was a crazy sight.
Now, we wait for results. I'm not a patient person, but I'm trying. Hopefully by Wednesday or Thursday.

Thanksgiving Point Dino Museum

My awesome friend, Ariane, invited us to visit the dinosaur museum at Thanksgiving Point in Lehi. Our kids really enjoy their family, so it was a no-brainer and we jumped at the chance to go. Brayden was having a quiet day and rode in the stroller, so we didn't get any pics of him, but he enjoyed the ride!

The most surprising part of the day was the blizzard that blew in while we were there. When we left the museum, the winds were so strong. It was like one of those nightmares where you're rumming, but not getting anywhere! I shuttled the kids to the car, then ran back for the stroller. We were wet and cold, but it was a great excuse to have hot chocolate when we got home!
