Behind!

Oh my goodness! I'm terribly behind on my blogging. It's been crazy, to say the least, but I'll do a quick picture recap of our next two months...

Loomis family nights

Painting with Abbi at Petroglyph:

Camping out with toys:

Buddy's Birthday at Mel's. Then Kung Fu Panda 2 with the cousins.

Bounce U!

McDonalds with BFF Ryan for Birthday Fun!

My handsome boy turned 3!

Abbi's house:

We went to see Mary Poppins (wonderful!)

Ami's new favorite drink (JK)

Giant birthday party at the church for 5 kids!

Amelie learned how to crawl (she's 9 months now...almost 10!)

Chubbers!

Steph came for a visit and ended up in the hospital with diabetes! Poor girl. She was such a trooper!

Sleepy Janie Girl!

Allison and I dog-napped this cutie (it was an accident...we thought she was lost. We returned her the next day and realized we had taken her from her own driveway. Oops!)

Just because:

Sara and Elise graduated from 8th grade! I did Elise's hair and makeup. They are both gorgeous aren't they?!

Yee-haw!

Mmm...cookies!

Finger lights...thanks Aunt Steph!

The pool is finally warm enough to swim in! There's a picture of buddy lounging here too, but he has no clothes on so I thought it might be inappropriate to post!

Picnics at the park!

Taking turns trying on mommy's hat:

Cousins in their new dresses:

Cousin movie night:

Putting the kids to work:

Jeff accidentally took a paint roller to everyone's head. I think he was the only one without paint in his hair! Jackson painted a tree in the backyard.

Cooling off after strenuous child labor!

First popsicle:

Guess it was a hit!

More park fun!

Shortly after this picture I got sick with E-coli and was on my death bed for over a week! Luckily I got semi-better the day before leaving for Utah!

The Y:

My old apartment in Provo

Paul's old room in a laundromat...gross!!!

BYU Creamery...I blame this place for the 5 pounds I gained on vacation! That and Shirley's buns!!!! Still some in my freezer!

Enjoying her first taste of BYU creamery chocolate milk: (I know, I'm a good mom!)

Thanksgiving point:

Stadium of Fire

I have more Utah pics I'll post later. This post is getting a little too long!

The Latest Medical Adventures of Jackson Hunt......

[WARNING]
[May contain graphic images not suitable for small children or weak stomachs]

So jack had this blister looking thing on his foot on Friday. I didn't think much of it. Kids get blisters all the time right? Then on Sunday morning he was really complaining about it. I looked closely and it looked like this:

All swollen and red and grayish purple. His pinky toe and whole foot was so swollen! Paul took him to urgent care where the doctor gave him oral antibiotics and sent him home. Later that evening he started getting red streaks up his ankle and it got more swollen and he got a fever and was screaming in pain! So we ended up here:

The ER on a Sunday night! They had to give him an IV of antibiotics which took 2 hours. He was so brave! His arm "having a drink of soda" At least maybe I scared him away from soda for the rest of his life!! Owie:

Feeling better and eating chocolate pudding. Shortly after this picture I laid down by him and he threw up more than I've ever seen a little kid throw up in my life. And I've seen a lot of throw up in my time! They had to cut his shirt off :( The last picture with his roots Canada shirt (gift from Aunt Heather...time for another trip to Canada!)

Buddy with his little hospital gown. It was kind of cute actually and now it's in our dressup box.
Getting tired:

We finally got to go home around midnight. His foot was still getting worse so we went BACK to the doctor on Tuesday only this time to his pediatrician. He said we needed to lance it which is what we all thought in the first place but none of the other doctors would do! So it took four of us to hold him down while the doctor lanced and drained his foot. I watched and it was like a gross fountain of puss and blood (sorry). Nothing worse than seeing your child in pain and having to be part of it!

It's been wrapped up and healing:

Recouping with sister:

The final product:

Still nasty, but much less infected and swollen. I took him to his pediatrician yesterday and he said he was worried about hospitalization and amputation the day before, but now it is healing miraculously fast! So thank you to everyone for their thoughts and prayers and priesthood blessings and names in the temple! I know they all worked and I'm so blessed to have such great friends and family to support us!

Preschool Graduation

My Abigail Claire graduated from preschool this month. I can't believe it. It still seems like just yesterday I was holding her in my arms for the first time! Tear...but alas! Here we are 4 1/2 years older and wiser too, all ready for kindergarten! She was so cute reciting her poem "12345" Videos below if you are interested!
