Our Adventures...

The last couple of weeks have been crazy. Colin had finals, and then we took off to Utah for a week to see our new niece Allison be blessed. She was so cute. And it was fun to be around a baby again. The kids all loved her and wanted as much time with her as they could.


They also had some fun times with their cousins and grandma and grandpa bowler.


We came home Wednesday evening and my parents and grandparents came in to town on Friday for a short visit. That was a lot of fun, and good to see my parents for me at least. On Saturday the kids all woke up saying that they didn't feel good. Conner said his stomach hurt. But later in the day we decided to look down their throats since one of their cousins had strep throat while we were in Utah. Sure enough Jakob throat was covered with white spots, and Conner's throat was red. everything in Rexburg was closed by then except the ER. Which we don't have insurance coverage for. So Saturday night was a rough one for Conner, he was up crying most of the night. Sunday morning we were off to urgent care and sure enough both boys had severe cases of strep throat. Poor guys. Jakob just looked horrible but he handled him self well. Conner on the other hand was struggling. He hurt so much he wouldn't swallow his own spit. Let alone the antibiotics. So after hours of crying, and struggling we finally enlisted the help of my dad and grandpa for a blessing. After Colin said the blessing, it was amazing the transformation. He drank some milk spiked with his medicine, and about 20 Popsicles. And he was up dancing before long. Oh the power of the priesthood!!
Now things are settling down. Family is gone ( but we miss them) me and the kids haven't left the house in a while (we don't need to spread this nasty bug around). Now I am loaded with my bottle of bleach spray trying to sanitize my house so that Alexa me and Colin have a fighting chance of not getting it. I just pray that all of our company doesn't get it cause I would just feel awful.
