I love Avrie

I have the cutest daughter ever. She takes such good care of me. If you didn't know I am a diabetic and when I get sick, I get sick. Two days ago Avrie got the 24 hour flu. She threw up all night long. She is so tough, she never complains. One time when she was throwing up she stopped right in the middle of it and remembered she had a present for me that her and her Grandma Linda had wrapped earlier. She had to go get it to give to me. She handed it to me and said hold on. She finished throwing up and said ok you can open it now. Ha ha it was a little book with primary songs. Anyways, I caught the flu from her. It hit really bad at about 2:00 when I was at work. I came home and laid down. That is when Kevin and Avrie set in. I didn't start throwing up until 6:00 and when I did Avrie brought in a table and made Kevin make me soup and brought me in a diet pepsi, a cold rag, my insulin and sugar tester, a book, my cell phone (she said if you need me to I will call 911), tweezers ha ha, and asked me if I needed a massage. A few hours later I was getting way worse and she came in and said how about a prayer. Part of her prayer consisted of - Heavenly Father please bless my Mom and Grandma Linda (who got the flu too) to get better, they are great women they shouldn't be sick. It was so cute. She also said if she gets better I promise I will take her to McDonalds. So cute. She got one of those syringes that you give infants medicine with and was feeding me water. She kept bringing me in different things and asking where I wanted them. When I felt half decent this morning I came out of my room and she had cleaned my house for me. I love her. I feel so much better now. It was really scary last night. At one point I threw up 16 times in one hour. I was on the phone with the nurses from the ER all night. Kevin was on the internet trying to figure out different ways to hydrate me. I have been in the hospital before for this, but we got through it. He was so proud of me. From yesterday morning to this morning I lost 17 pounds. Crazy! It will all be back tomorrow no worries. I am just praying for a cure for diabetes. For now I am so thankful for such a wonderful husband and daughter. They are the best!

Other random pictures of the past little while...

This is a ghost town (Calico) that we went to on the way home from Disneyland. It was really cool. We had a really good lunch there and went through an old mine cave.
This was Avrie's favorite part. The homemade chairs.


Avrie loves to do the "Shelby" face. haha

Me - Avrie - Ken






One of our favorite things to do as a family is go to Disneyland. This was Avrie's third time. She absolutely loved it! She is getting so big. Kevin totally turns into a kid there. He always walks so fast because he is so excited and its hard to keep up with him. Disneyland is a tradition every year with Kevin's family, but this year my Mom and Joey came too! They were so cute. I have never seen Joey so happy.
