Rough Week

Our rough week in summary:


Sunday - Alexa biffs it at church and lands on her face.  Bleeds all over Kyle and looks like she got punched in the mouth.  Poor girl.  Later that day, she was outside playing with her favorite toy at the Family Reunion, Roxy the dog.  Roxy lovingly puts her paw on Alexa's face and ends up scratching her--three perfect claw marks running all the way down the side of her face.  She still wanted to play with Roxy though, and was mad we took her inside to clean her up and take it easy.  Here's a video of her "talking" to the dog (growling) earlier in the week.


Monday - Dad is sick starting Sunday and going through Monday.  He is nauseous, pale, light headed, and spends most of the reunion in bed.


Tuesday - Kyle wakes up early and throws up until there's nothing left.  Spends the day tired and miserable.


Wednesday - Jenny copies Kyle and throws up 8 times.


Thursday - Jenny (12 weeks pregnant) is on her way to work and starts bleeding a lot all of the sudden, so she turns around to go back home.  The Dr. rushes her in for another ultrasound, and we find out that there's a tear in the placenta that's causing a lot of blood loss. Baby still looks good and has a great heart rate, but if the tear doesn't heal itself there's still a small chance of miscarriage. Have to stay off my feet as much as possible for the next week until they check again, which is really hard to do!  Especially with a 14 month old who can't exactly put herself into her crib or highchair at this point.  I'm feeling much better and the bleeding had stopped by Friday.  Just weak and tired off and on.
Kyle left notes for me all around the house Friday morning to sit down and touch nothing!
Friday - Kyle flies off the scooter on the way to work.  He takes a nice slide on the road, which they lovingly pick out of him at an Urgent Care Clinic.  Luckily, nothing is broken, but he is very scraped up and sore.  He thought he broke his toe, but it was just a blood vessel that burst under his toenail, so they burned a hole through his toenail to release all the blood/pressure.  Burnt toenail is an interesting smell....We're glad he's ok.  Went to Wal-Mart Friday night to get milk and Jenny rode around in an electric cart with Kyle the gimp walking beside.

stairs and a silly little girl....

I forgot to mention a few August updates in my last post, and have some more Alexa stories (as always)...First, Kyle (with the help of Uncle Paul and Todd--thank you!!) finished the stairs and they look awesome!!  He completely rebuilt them (ripped them down all the way to the drywall). Second, both Kyle and I were supposed to be in this work athletic competition in August, but I had to back out for obvious reasons.  Kyle still did the tennis and basketball tournaments and made me oh so proud.  He even got this funny little basketball trophy for taking third place.  The other tournaments that week included horseshoes, ping pong, foosball, golf, Wii dance, volleyball, and a triathlon. We went to Ikea for breakfast last Saturday (so delicious and cheap!) and bought Alexa a stuffed puppy while we were there.  She now takes it everywhere continuously saying "puppy, puppy, puppy!"  Speaking of the puppy, she even dragged it through toilet water last week.  Yes, you

December 2015 - Christmas in Indiana

Merry Christmas! We hit the road a couple of days after Granny's funeral to make the trek to Indiana for Christmas. The  kids did great the whole way.  I think it was harder on the adults!  We left at 4am and the first 8 hours were really bad due to wind and snow.  I-70 was closed unless you had chains and we were only a couple of hours in when we passed a sign saying I-80 was closed due to an avalanche warning.  Kyle screamed "Noooo!" and woke up the kids :).  We were so relieved to have Wyoming behind us!!  And we were very glad to have been driving an SUV with all-wheel-drive instead of our Toyota Matrix.  We got a new Mazda CX-9 only a week before the trip so that we can fit baby #3. We pounded out 14 hours the first day and then stopped for the night in Nebraska before continuing for another 10ish hours the next day.  The kids thought that sleeping in a hotel was amazing.  The weather on the drive home was clear and wonderful. although Tyler did poop h

July 2023 - Baby Ian

We had a blast at the Stadium of Fire Journey concert with Sara and Jason.  We also hosted a Swingle 4th of July party at our house.  Grandpa Swingle said that's the first time he's actually been able to light real fireworks in over a decade.  We decided we should make it a tradition to have them come up every year (or move here ;). Baby Ian was born and he is HUGE!  11 lb 1 oz.  Melissa's water broke at 7:30am, contractions started after that, and he was born at home with a team of paramedics with them in the outbuilding at 9am.   Fun fact: he was born on Ian Beagley's birthday and they share the same name. We spent an entire Saturday pulling down and cutting up dead trees.  We rented a wood splitter and went to town.  The kids were a big help.  We did our annual reading challenge to earn tickets to Lagoon.  Our rule is 1000 pages for every grade level finished, has to be during summer, and Alexa and Tyler both had to write a book report as well.  The kids did great!
