Enjoying fall!


Notice the Y on Avrie's cheek.  She is a huge BYU fan and had to have a Y painted on her cheek (not a pretty butterfly or sparkly fairy eyes but a Y - for her DAD!

We went to Gardener Village to see the funny witches they had for Halloween.  Aunt Nicki was nice to take a few - ok probably around 100 pictures.  We had a lot of fun!  Thanks again Nick.

Avrie Kae

Both Kevin and I can't believe how old Avrie is getting. She is so smart, sensitive, and not shy whatsoever! We hope she knows how special she is to us. Now lets just hope she can get over her dreams of wanting to be a truck driver when she grows up. She amazes us everyday!

Snow White

Ken, Avrie, Me and Kevin at Avrie's school on halloween.
Avrie as Snow White.

She loves dressing up.
All zonked out!
I love this girl!

Lucky Kevin caught the Swine Flu


Do to Kevin getting the Swine Flu, and great inlaws to take Avrie for the night, I have a moment to myself tonight so I will catch everyone up on what we have been up to.

First off Swine Flu is not fun at all! Kevin is miserable and thought he might just be getting over it, but I just checked his temperature and it's over 100 degrees again so he is still contagious. I feel like an overworked single parent. He does so much to help out and I am ready for him to be normal Kev again. Right now I here him in the back room coughing his lungs out.

Kevin was his normal self Monday at 12:00 - checking his fantasy team and doing all the sports stuff he loves to do. He said he started to not feel very well and the insensitive wife I can be ignored him. Shelby came over and I told her Kevin was starting to get sick (for everyone who doesn't know Kevin - he is a germaphobe BAD so he has done everything to the extreme to avoid getting our family sick with the flu) he said the only thing that was going to get him through what he thought was just a cold was the Jazz game of course. Kevin came walking out in his garments and didn't care that Shelby saw. She said he must be sick he doesn't even like it when I walk around in a tank top. Ha ha. Around half time I walked in to check on Kevin and he looked like a tomato. He was bright red. He said it was hard for him to breath and I felt his forehead and it was on fire! I told Shelby I was running to WalMart to get a thermometor because Kevin was on fire - Avrie started screaming and crying because she thought I meant he was really on fire. I came back and checked his temp and it was 102 degrees. Right when I told him that he said I need to call my mom. Ha ha . We took him straight to the ER. Shelby was so sweet to take Avrie for the night and what has now lasted multiple nights. Avrie isn't minding at all, but she was so scared the first night. I took his temperature again on the way and it was just barely under 104 degrees. We got there and checked in. They took his pulse which was 250 twice of what it should have been. They double checked it because they thought it read wrong, but the next machine read the same. Kevin's eyeballs were bright red and he was acting crazy. He had to lay down because he was dizzy and thought he might throw up. The doctor confirmed it was swine flu and sent us home with lots of meds and said to stay in a room for approx. 7 days. We are now on day 3.... I miss him:( He is going nuts! Luckily for the playstation - thanks Taylor, movies, meds and yummy meals he is getting through it. So everyone wash your hands and don't volunteer at the halloween party at the elementary. Ha ha thats where we are guessing he got it.
Thanks everyone who has taken Avrie so she doesn't get it! I have the best family in the world!
