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.

December 2024 - Christmas Fun

We were so happy to have Marmie and Grandpa fly out for the Swingle Christmas party.  Emily is the best party planner of all time and had really fun games, prizes, and yummy treats despite her whole family being sick.  Craig and Chelsea gave us a fun Christmas lantern aquarium pass for Christmas and it was amazing!  They had entire habitats full of lantern animals from all over the world.    Tyler and Alexa had their violin Christmas recital at a local care facility, which was such a great idea on their teacher's part.  Sadly, I had to join via FaceTime because I was out of town.  But they did great! We were excited to hear Ian Beagley play viola on Temple Square.  He and Alexa also put together another amazing family recital.  It gets better every year!  Ian played viola; Alexa played violin and sang; Tyler played violin; and Tad, Liam, Lincoln, and Sawyer played the piano.   One of my best friends from high school, Katie Cutr...

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 l...

June 2025 - Greece

The international travel continued in June with an amazing trip to Greece to celebrate my friend Kimberly's 40th birthday.  We stayed in Santorini for a few days and then had a couple of days in Athens.  Our Airbnb in Santorini was in a cove only accessible by boat and it was an absolute dream.  We fell asleep every night with the windows open and the sound of the water just outside.  We were a group of 7 women (including Kimberly) who all knew her but didn't really know each other.  We had a great time and became lifelong friends.   In Santorini we went to an amazing spa with a private relaxation room, explored the city, saw ruins, went to museums, went shopping, hiked a volcanic island, went to the beach, and ate lots of great food.   In Athens we went to more amazing museums and explored the Acropolis.  It was significantly hotter there and the locals were much less excited about tourists.  We also went to an outdoor theater to w...
