Since Kiley is in school from 8-2 everyday Lea has become such a good helper. Her relationship with her brother Ben has gotten stronger and she is listening better. She is such a joy to be around and has such a loving heart.<br /><br /><br /><div><br /><div><br /><div><br /><div></div><br /><div>1.) This is a picture of my new niece and Lea. My niece was born about a month ago and she is so cute. Lea was in love with her and wanted to hold her all the time. Lea can't wait to be able to snuggle her again soon. </div><br /><div></div><br /><br /><div>2.) Almost everyday since we arrived in LA Lea has been in our backyard riding her bike around and around the fountain we have. She has gotten so good at riding I am shocked at her skills. She falls every once and a while and after she does she just gets back up brushes her self off and tries again. She was so determined to learn how to ride it was amazing to watch her. Everyday she gets better and better. One day we were driving and Lea saw a girl about 8years old riding a bike with her mom and the little girl stood up on her bike and was pedalling. When we got home Lea went straight to the backyard and started trying to ride standing up. After a few tries and a couple scratches Lea accomplished her goal. I love to watch her when she is determined to master something. I am so proud of her when she final gets it down. </div><br /><br /><div>3.) Lea changes her outfit about 10 times a day. One of the outfits she likes to put on is her ladybug costume from last year. She loves to try it on and then dance around the house. She has the cutest little face. One day I will get her to stop with the outfit changes but for now I will just keep taking pictures. </div><br /><br /><div></div><br /><div>4.) I believe that I am getting pay back from my childhood. So, now I will explain. When I was young I was a major <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">handful</span> from climbing trees and getting stuck to fighting with kids and getting kicked out of preschool. Now, thankfully Lea is not as bad as I was but there are many things that are the same and one of them is Leas love for climbing. She will climb anything and everything. One day when she was 10 months old I found her in the middle of the table. I love the spirit and excitement in her smile when she climbs a tree or a fence. This picture was taken outside First Covenant Church. She was so excited she did not want to come down. </div><br /><br /><div></div><br /><div>5.) I love this picture it just shows the silly side of Lela. </div></div></div></div>Stantonclanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15755556620494280516noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6209846641117508552.post-70284366567480278012011-09-30T16:01:00.000-07:002011-09-30T17:31:32.349-07:00<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrg6eRyGkef7oeTMBJOkRalmikHc3OlQiRBx1WxewxkgDnj7UYkvM0xuQgohOgs39k7QCpkn4KxKGFdF69ltVrUBmWM66vbqu1ZCJFczOsYoeUIko7IpICyCwmvzbl_eSGWQbMTMkp65A/s1600/bens+new+bike.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5658307873475866898" style="WIDTH: 113px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrg6eRyGkef7oeTMBJOkRalmikHc3OlQiRBx1WxewxkgDnj7UYkvM0xuQgohOgs39k7QCpkn4KxKGFdF69ltVrUBmWM66vbqu1ZCJFczOsYoeUIko7IpICyCwmvzbl_eSGWQbMTMkp65A/s400/bens+new+bike.jpg" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHy32rgdMXJyML0raq4t5c33kLyckyDp0A4N3v1XzYVm8mA7CW3qO3qw6tsz7FOwKjnhkG9QOtjOgziQelXi5dgsGtsiCP_f7thTJyM5hj0hLGHm9KVPKguPkM1LoMcyLuGx1XK8A2N44/s1600/ben+sleeping.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5658307868650252530" style="WIDTH: 113px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgHy32rgdMXJyML0raq4t5c33kLyckyDp0A4N3v1XzYVm8mA7CW3qO3qw6tsz7FOwKjnhkG9QOtjOgziQelXi5dgsGtsiCP_f7thTJyM5hj0hLGHm9KVPKguPkM1LoMcyLuGx1XK8A2N44/s400/ben+sleeping.jpg" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvPXZWvrLqEpGpXItMrrzIFUAf6wZA2PeLJ91S3ZzpYQyWPGl_Pt85m-5QKDFf4qdWQuKs_PWTGkNi6V_xZOn72QL6oFmtB23RLNnwj4cWRRGNUyzdnCw8RyizhHwqCbgPjDNSR0hDuro/s1600/Ben+mermaid.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5658307872070199730" style="WIDTH: 113px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhvPXZWvrLqEpGpXItMrrzIFUAf6wZA2PeLJ91S3ZzpYQyWPGl_Pt85m-5QKDFf4qdWQuKs_PWTGkNi6V_xZOn72QL6oFmtB23RLNnwj4cWRRGNUyzdnCw8RyizhHwqCbgPjDNSR0hDuro/s400/Ben+mermaid.jpg" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8JebRtPT2V94lZ25Yxcr4lQCXvkiJMTExfGwUMA2zwOOLDruprDBtbHN0h0t7eDGBBUI2IngOdzP4bua3ozaHsxJ1kftTmnOU8mXSxWeRpUtzYETE1SB2hqzUa_dm7pK9JcyK0yxUn7w/s1600/ben+birthday.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5658307864505957106" style="WIDTH: 113px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi8JebRtPT2V94lZ25Yxcr4lQCXvkiJMTExfGwUMA2zwOOLDruprDBtbHN0h0t7eDGBBUI2IngOdzP4bua3ozaHsxJ1kftTmnOU8mXSxWeRpUtzYETE1SB2hqzUa_dm7pK9JcyK0yxUn7w/s400/ben+birthday.jpg" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPCmXTVnqs40eTQkApcgMA2HtoLKuIrPe161mV3k1N2SprqBkPU3cEW9EFpUngFEvuvMCEijfdCq5lrPs13OlcEJlS2Ca18xaBMzLNrYQ6ek8YYJYFFVKOrf5GzmYHs5ybtOj4VniULPk/s1600/ben+and+Ty.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5658307866394409298" style="WIDTH: 113px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 150px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiPCmXTVnqs40eTQkApcgMA2HtoLKuIrPe161mV3k1N2SprqBkPU3cEW9EFpUngFEvuvMCEijfdCq5lrPs13OlcEJlS2Ca18xaBMzLNrYQ6ek8YYJYFFVKOrf5GzmYHs5ybtOj4VniULPk/s400/ben+and+Ty.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Instead of doing multiple posts I just figured I would do per child. Here are a few fun things we have done over the last couple months.<br /><br />1.) Ben and I are so proud of that red motorcycle. Ben and I found that at <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">Walmart</span> for $10. What a deal! We got it home and I put it together. I was sceptical that I was going to be able to do it but I actually read and followed the directions which I normally don't do. Once I had it put together Ben was so excited he zoomed around the house all day long. He has such a huge <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">fascination</span> with <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">motorcycles</span>.<br /><br />2.) This picture was taken after one of the worst afternoons ever! We decided to walk to Kiley's school to pick her up. It is only about 6 long blocks away we had done it before and it was not fun but thought this time would be different. It was not hot but I brought water for the kids just <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_3">in case</span>. One of the streets we have to cross is a major street and then we have to walk down that street 2 blocks. So I put Ben and Maverick in the Jogging stroller, Lea rode her two wheeler (which I will post the video of her riding later) and we put a scooter on the <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_4">stroller</span> for Kiley. Oh and I had Roxy attached to the <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_5">stroller</span>. We set off! The ride there was perfect no problems. Once we got there I met a really nice Christian mom who has children about the same age as me it was great. We picked up Kiley and then started back we were in front of Kiley's school and she was riding her scooter in front. She all the sudden stopped and in order to avoid smashing into her I <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_6">swerved</span> to the right into gravel. Well, apparently mixed in the gravel was thousands of <span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_7">thorns</span> the size of a quarter. They covered the three tires of the stroller and as i tried to push the stroller they just dug in further. So, I got the bright idea to start pulling them out. DUH! All the tires obviously popped and now we were stuck. The stroller would no longer move.<br />To finish my story we sat on a patch of grass for about 20mins so that I could calm down and prepare for the walk home. It took us an hr and 15mins to get home. Our stroller is now ruined but the good part of it all was that the kids were so exhausted from the walk (because all of them had to walk including Ben but not mavy hehe) that they all took a nap!<br /><br />3.) This is one of my favorite pictures from the last two months. We met some friends (the Pena's) in long beach for some fun in the sun! Trisha made Ben into a mermaid and the kids played in the sun all day. The kids had a blast and it was so nice to see some friends from home!<br /><br />4.) This is Ben on his birthday. Since we were not in sac for his bday we had just a small little party with some of the new people that we had met. It was a blast getting to know new friends. We also had an old friend of mine that was there too. It was an enjoyable night. You can tell Ben was happy by the ice cream on his face!<br /><br />5.) We WERE (story for another day) potty training Ben and one of the things he liked to do was pee in the grass. I was shocked since I don't have any brothers but from what I found out is that this is a common thing for little boys.<br /><br />Well, this is some of the things that Ben has been up to. I will update Lea next!Stantonclanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15755556620494280516noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6209846641117508552.post-5727655073286113272011-09-28T11:58:00.000-07:002011-09-28T12:25:16.876-07:00Maverick is Growing<a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpiowCexYAy9pXYyt3Uq_G_DcjZ5HaBkzXu2E4pxW4xszVclET_TqQ5-H6F7vVsU4P4z-FLJL_kP-kT2WAefFygwj7Rf-H-Q6JGRUS532S-gl4kwX8ig7RJUG620hvjz1sR4el3OjN_uM/s1600/maverick+smiling.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5657493710071677250" style="WIDTH: 150px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 113px" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjpiowCexYAy9pXYyt3Uq_G_DcjZ5HaBkzXu2E4pxW4xszVclET_TqQ5-H6F7vVsU4P4z-FLJL_kP-kT2WAefFygwj7Rf-H-Q6JGRUS532S-gl4kwX8ig7RJUG620hvjz1sR4el3OjN_uM/s320/maverick+smiling.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div>Maverick has been all smiles the past couple weeks.

We picked up our family of six and moved to LA for my husband Brian to attend Biola University. He is enjoying school and has learned more in the last three weeks than he has in the last three years.

We greatly enjoy the crisp air along with all the different smells. We went up with some friends and had a blast. Here are a few pictures of Lea and her friend Jayden playing. They also have fun stuff for kids to do.<br /><br /><br /><u><span style="color:#0000ff;"></span></u><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYE5zdBCjjaZjY719euDdrWuBawJhpoFbyGQxyndzJKJ7jbl87H30As4Wp4v3h8ohx-oOYry4nRd_8QmlplwVHMQ_TasVo2IYJCwqbE5UXDI3P9m7cUMovNppuIagt_kdBz5dkt7SlPeM/s1600-h/Apple+Hill+wit+the+Lakes+(35).jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5278200747931884930" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgYE5zdBCjjaZjY719euDdrWuBawJhpoFbyGQxyndzJKJ7jbl87H30As4Wp4v3h8ohx-oOYry4nRd_8QmlplwVHMQ_TasVo2IYJCwqbE5UXDI3P9m7cUMovNppuIagt_kdBz5dkt7SlPeM/s320/Apple+Hill+wit+the+Lakes+(35).jpg" border="0" /></a><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEit20e6tqRZ4vusYgciczRONKDP389eND0AWbPxEloegAeeBgewPpO5Gn5xhDgidcnAsh8g6GWqtsY5xQQvE8MKQ6osp6RLJ1zy07PlBrAA7ZfEZg-K0GABOE8YGIgzYtMTkbfc2pEOcWs/s1600-h/Apple+Hill+wit+the+Lakes+(17).jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5278200755154082210" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEit20e6tqRZ4vusYgciczRONKDP389eND0AWbPxEloegAeeBgewPpO5Gn5xhDgidcnAsh8g6GWqtsY5xQQvE8MKQ6osp6RLJ1zy07PlBrAA7ZfEZg-K0GABOE8YGIgzYtMTkbfc2pEOcWs/s320/Apple+Hill+wit+the+Lakes+(17).jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJa6CkHFhVCT8YmVxnR_c53ggynOQvuDnrFG7W2zqYJ0dIfWxkt3pSEMpNChVGF53V6badoLW0mHIJcm1aqSaxRCHVezquCd5QsjuJJ5vhfhThqDTRkYmnAUSJMh-jWMRk95AsRQZsJtA/s1600-h/Apple+Hill+wit+the+Lakes+(6).jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5278200740391527746" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhJa6CkHFhVCT8YmVxnR_c53ggynOQvuDnrFG7W2zqYJ0dIfWxkt3pSEMpNChVGF53V6badoLW0mHIJcm1aqSaxRCHVezquCd5QsjuJJ5vhfhThqDTRkYmnAUSJMh-jWMRk95AsRQZsJtA/s320/Apple+Hill+wit+the+Lakes+(6).jpg" border="0" /></a> </div><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHrOgj2sgXtLZ7EbC9osl8xCSgsMSt1PVQkUBwYQ1VmncwY4gzI4f_muYI15YkBPqSUBrQrJOQzUdTjRaXyedYBm0vUi5BB3-QeIgtczsN9trUdjUNo12Ub2lhklEtQ37NlQSX2c9KcbM/s1600-h/Apple+Hill+wit+the+Lakes+(7).jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5278202779166521298" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiHrOgj2sgXtLZ7EbC9osl8xCSgsMSt1PVQkUBwYQ1VmncwY4gzI4f_muYI15YkBPqSUBrQrJOQzUdTjRaXyedYBm0vUi5BB3-QeIgtczsN9trUdjUNo12Ub2lhklEtQ37NlQSX2c9KcbM/s320/Apple+Hill+wit+the+Lakes+(7).jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdgpXglHNxyQrWrdXbcjTivOkKI5S3YB9E73pHiRqn8uqNcBvJgn1c1H6CyQO-tNpKq13Cmah09fxrOYn6JnYE8h98onEnFIn4KPhx2kYt5DYLUtYqDywCoMGVaWpyV6rPzNME-WVT3o8/s1600-h/Apple+Hill+wit+the+Lakes+(33).jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5278202765206764706" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 240px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdgpXglHNxyQrWrdXbcjTivOkKI5S3YB9E73pHiRqn8uqNcBvJgn1c1H6CyQO-tNpKq13Cmah09fxrOYn6JnYE8h98onEnFIn4KPhx2kYt5DYLUtYqDywCoMGVaWpyV6rPzNME-WVT3o8/s320/Apple+Hill+wit+the+Lakes+(33).jpg" border="0" /></a>Stantonclanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15755556620494280516noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6209846641117508552.post-26839442608145029332008-12-03T09:59:00.000-08:002008-12-03T10:54:43.359-08:00You are Caller 25!I was sitting on the couch Friday (before Thanksgiving) late afternoon feeding my nephew Tyler when I heard on the radio to call and if you are caller 25 you could win Alan Jackson tickets. So I thought what the heck I will try. I started calling and was caller 10. I was shocked to hear the person on the line say anything, I had never gotten through before. I stared at the phone for a minute and decided to try again. I called two more times and all the sudden someone was talking to me. They asked me my name and what I was doing, I said matter of factly "sitting on the couch with my kids". The person then said well get up off the couch because you have WON! I started screaming with excitement like a kid in a candy store. I had really never won anything before even those little raffles that people have at work I just don't have good luck. But this time I had actually won! The only problem was it was 4:45pm and I had to pick the tickets up by 5:30pm. I had my nephew Tyler with me and the girls this was going to be a challenge.<br /><br />Well, I shoved the girls in the car, crammed Tylers car seat in and raced over to the KNCI office. I was totally late because of traffic but the were awesome and waited for me.<br /><br />The concert was the next night and we had a blast. The tickets were in the lower level and were perfect. We were only a couple rows from the floor. We got there a little late because we made dinner for our babysitters, my big sister who is the best big sister and friend in the world and Micah who is also great. James Otto was up first then Trace Atkins and then Alan Jackson. It was such a great concert. I liked it because it was really chill. Sometimes it is nice when the singer does not try and over perform.<br /><br />The moral of my story:<br /><br />Even though you might not succeed or have any luck for a long time just keep trying eventually you will! JUST KEEP SWIMMING! (If you don't know what I just said watch Finding Nemo)<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg2jmffM8XTaeYZk7FdOh9_0yhTjwHMyDhvCr6lQe9_f1vppCkGxejqKoXVIsvRt-8JyTsY6Rxegy0EU3z9xCi9kT8kS6eBHnl8dowPfNU437LMvp0ZFNX4pKd7YHB3EPO_7D1HnAzr0uw/s1600-h/Alan+Jackson+Concert.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5275630615382728114" style="DISPLAY: block;

I really am bad a planning ahead and allowing my self enough time, as well as follow through and getting certain things done. In fact, I was late for my own wedding, sad but true! But I guess better late than never! :-) I am really working on it and God has been working hard on me lately. So because I have not posted in a while I realized I never posted a picture of my two little munchins in their Halloween costumes.

Most of you might think it is a little early but this is not by choice. About a month ago Lea began climbing out of her crib on a regular basis. I was coming up with creative ways of keeping her in her bed but I have given up. I don't feel right getting her a crib tent because my personal thought is I would be caging her in so we just moved to the toddler bed. She actually does good. She of course gets out of the bed and usually falls asleep on the floor but this way she won't hurt herself climbing out of the crib. She usually plays for a little while in her room and then ends up falling asleep on the floor. After it gets quiet I usually go in her room and put her in bed. I snapped this picture about a week ago. She fell asleep with the brush on her face. The other day she fell asleep with a shoe on her head. She is such a strong willed individual. I can't wait until she is a teenager!</div><br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqel0V27toydoQrYm0rwuGwb7LarWyyLOwcmSFyJiwHH7NM71jUVTXiNvLM6PRHC2gJtPwnKuKxTJ7MOITbMQZ7cNBC-l7f0PR6Voo7dD0ix3bCNCvokkTKZr-V5tkDLi2fXkDsPEIFTQ/s1600-h/Breast+Cancer+Walk+014.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5267894989556349874" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiqel0V27toydoQrYm0rwuGwb7LarWyyLOwcmSFyJiwHH7NM71jUVTXiNvLM6PRHC2gJtPwnKuKxTJ7MOITbMQZ7cNBC-l7f0PR6Voo7dD0ix3bCNCvokkTKZr-V5tkDLi2fXkDsPEIFTQ/s320/Breast+Cancer+Walk+014.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitclXeEepQpuwZTseEiooVWjbzruL5J7z9nozsp8iGsNxf5gidiwyjLS_Ma_BanL01ATJCc2dedkRXZyCrbYgzk1q-qpmc1O_JlYMkwZQq4LaT6KMoOY2nSHQ_lrhOoAIbpXj5g6KrkcU/s1600-h/Breast+Cancer+Walk+012.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5267894982912247922" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEitclXeEepQpuwZTseEiooVWjbzruL5J7z9nozsp8iGsNxf5gidiwyjLS_Ma_BanL01ATJCc2dedkRXZyCrbYgzk1q-qpmc1O_JlYMkwZQq4LaT6KMoOY2nSHQ_lrhOoAIbpXj5g6KrkcU/s320/Breast+Cancer+Walk+012.jpg" border="0" /></a>Stantonclanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15755556620494280516noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6209846641117508552.post-86725055303508029352008-11-12T13:45:00.000-08:002008-11-12T13:58:06.724-08:00Breast Cancer WalkIt is that time of year for our family that we celebrate and support Brian's Mom Sue and her victory over Breast Cancer. We usually enter most of the Breast Cancer walks/runs. This year the one at the Capital was a little more difficult. We had to have two children ready to leave the house by 6:30am. That is just way to early for me and our kids but we made it in time. All of Brian's siblings were there and the girls had a blast. After the race we came home and all took a nice long nap. It was a very fun family day! Here are a few pictures from the day!<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVaxnTgacVdqKx0c5nW2ng23mj17ViU7lcrERIAyFEHapDxRZKMeaYHAFTh_Gk5qgNAaJowXuZnCyOIju-yx_5wM44YYfHQnU-M1k7bK-GfsWf76PNVX5j1YqW7p0m5MlTxlBSr2ogFv0/s1600-h/Breast+Cancer+Walk+011.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5267892806277851218" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjVaxnTgacVdqKx0c5nW2ng23mj17ViU7lcrERIAyFEHapDxRZKMeaYHAFTh_Gk5qgNAaJowXuZnCyOIju-yx_5wM44YYfHQnU-M1k7bK-GfsWf76PNVX5j1YqW7p0m5MlTxlBSr2ogFv0/s320/Breast+Cancer+Walk+011.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEib3PYRiOr-de8J0WX1T-0ijmv_5i33R9cgL6O_GYfPw6oS06ifN9CWbevYm77HsSlQw_5_ftbty4gG1WEuTZstczWFEJyCnXIJGf6R6Syv6y0IBW7-SiSwREkiuO2ps23zGb0QoVF3VAQ/s1600-h/Breast+Cancer+Walk+010.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5267892790745265170" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEib3PYRiOr-de8J0WX1T-0ijmv_5i33R9cgL6O_GYfPw6oS06ifN9CWbevYm77HsSlQw_5_ftbty4gG1WEuTZstczWFEJyCnXIJGf6R6Syv6y0IBW7-SiSwREkiuO2ps23zGb0QoVF3VAQ/s320/Breast+Cancer+Walk+010.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhU_9ak4ZiVze2IxbqQIgmmXdpG6XyjGMc6B_SZBx8FhzlKEAECs0binie0d4zNIsfP4mnyLmHX5wXbKtRqjH5DwW2oKln1B59H2h-QXsovEtNT-LLz0ia2D4c7C3WijnSuneWuDUBpxLE/s1600-h/Breast+Cancer+Walk+009.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5267892788124307458" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 320px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 240px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhU_9ak4ZiVze2IxbqQIgmmXdpG6XyjGMc6B_SZBx8FhzlKEAECs0binie0d4zNIsfP4mnyLmHX5wXbKtRqjH5DwW2oKln1B59H2h-QXsovEtNT-LLz0ia2D4c7C3WijnSuneWuDUBpxLE/s320/Breast+Cancer+Walk+009.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQLQDmWtk8UFlm8NANzmb-UE9Y38SL4L_HN68m0CJxX-aHWcRE8usSknlnW3PzS_aZv-36V2z2T__L5l7L_fOEadckrFUsfN4b0RyO-S4yxyOM2aOgf2bDgYfNaCFXusn35Ck-EmeCUUs/s1600-h/Breast+Cancer+Walk+001.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5267892778194787186" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; WIDTH: 213px; CURSOR: hand; HEIGHT: 320px; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiQLQDmWtk8UFlm8NANzmb-UE9Y38SL4L_HN68m0CJxX-aHWcRE8usSknlnW3PzS_aZv-36V2z2T__L5l7L_fOEadckrFUsfN4b0RyO-S4yxyOM2aOgf2bDgYfNaCFXusn35Ck-EmeCUUs/s320/Breast+Cancer+Walk+001.jpg" border="0" /></a>Stantonclanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15755556620494280516noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6209846641117508552.post-7411800698299566792008-10-21T13:52:00.000-07:002008-10-21T14:30:50.585-07:00Sister Love...Yeah Right!<div>I have posted about this before but it is becoming worse and worse.

They stated that they recieved a payment for a citiflex credit card from my hubby and that it was .30 Cents short and that we incurred a late fee. At that point I should have hung up the phone. Instead I began to argue with them telling the person that we did not have a card with citibank and we traded information back and forth. Meaning they gave me bogus information about the person I thought had opeded a credit card in Brian's name as I acted like a dummy and actually gave them Brian's real info.<br /><br />866-422-7941<br /><br />As I look back on the conversation I think to myself that I was a fool! I was unaware as to what I was doing. The person got of the phone with me and probably laughed. OHHH, I am so mad I could spit!<br /><br />PLEASE DON'T BE AS DUMB AS I WAS!!!!<br /><br />I called Brian right after it happen and gave him the number, thinking someone had opened a card in his name. He tried to call and it was a nonworking number. He looked the number up on google and you bet it says it is a scam!!! Somehow they put a forward on the number so that if you call it then you really do get citibank, but there is no record of the account.<br /><br />Here is the number : 866-422-7941<br /><br />I put the number in here several times so everyone now has the number and does not make the same mistake I just made. PLEASE, PLEASE remember it!<br /><br />I had to spend all morning and afternoon on the phone with every credit card company as well as Experian, Equifax and transunion in order to put fraud alerts on everything. It was time consuming and very frustrating!<br /><br />Be safe and don't give personal info to anyone!<br /><br />Pray for those who got our info that they wont use it!!!

You know life gets a hold of you (I really mean my kids) we have been so busy lately and it seems like the only time I get is either late at night when I am too tired or during their nap when I have so much other stuff to be doing. But, I am working on the whole time management thing. Unfortunately I will probably always be working on it with of course the hopes that one day I will be better. I am so glad I have friends that know how to bug me enough (lovingly of course) so that I will find the time to post.<br /><br />So, ok here are some of the fun events the girls have been involved in over the last couple weeks:<br /><br /><br />Leas first experience with Jello...

Brian came home for work one day and caught me snoozing. If you don't know Kiley does not take a nap very easy. So every once and a while I will lay down with her and pretend to be asleep until she falls asleep. Well, this time sleep got the better of me.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1zBtH71jMPReSfkIj2_xIG1owf1XmNfvVRCBzybbvS5lokPqBIDhHMbvNJkPnXYDpKCfQJBBaGeSYbTr6W9hN7u-Ef91e-fTnM5nQIfI_5APtw_DqHlalYPaWYMgLCbFc3QHRyG8IV_g/s1600-h/fishing+093.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5246863545135071762" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg1zBtH71jMPReSfkIj2_xIG1owf1XmNfvVRCBzybbvS5lokPqBIDhHMbvNJkPnXYDpKCfQJBBaGeSYbTr6W9hN7u-Ef91e-fTnM5nQIfI_5APtw_DqHlalYPaWYMgLCbFc3QHRyG8IV_g/s320/fishing+093.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh27RDdlbXvp9rTBePGuQNbhlaJG17kpgocpQdcrKQ04H27nLK11ETcyhe8d3LbcxtyojzPEdzzTJsEYNR5Wgx8U4yA-K_doB13pMWgADhVG0Exf81jry97a2J00o_G-jRC4j0NznrxqDE/s1600-h/Kiley+and+Haylie+sleep+over+and+apple+hill+004.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5246863554058561282" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh27RDdlbXvp9rTBePGuQNbhlaJG17kpgocpQdcrKQ04H27nLK11ETcyhe8d3LbcxtyojzPEdzzTJsEYNR5Wgx8U4yA-K_doB13pMWgADhVG0Exf81jry97a2J00o_G-jRC4j0NznrxqDE/s320/Kiley+and+Haylie+sleep+over+and+apple+hill+004.jpg" border="0" /></a> Brian won tickets to a Lynyrd Skynyrd concert at Raley Field.

The good thing is that there were enough toys and other kids to distract her from her hunger. When we finally got called in Lea was given "Silly Juice". OH MY GOODNESS!! She became the most hilarious child I had ever seen. It was almost as if she was seeing hundreds of stars fly in front of her face. I was laughing so hard it was hard for me to hold her. When they took Lea away Kiley cried because she did not want the doctor to take her.<br />We waited what felt like forever but it really was only an hour. The specialist finally came out and showed us the pictures of the inside of Lea's stomach. She explained everything and said that it all looked normal. PRAISE THE LORD!!! She told us that they would call us back to see her. When we went back to see her she was screaming and kicking in the arms of one of the nurses. We got her some apple juice, sugar water and believe it or not a pacifier. She did not care much about the pacifier which was wonderful (I was a little scared). She was typical Lea: screaming, kicking and being demanding. The nurses told us that she should sleep on the way home considering that she did not sleep very much after they wheeled her out.<br />Lea of course she did not sleep the entire two hour car ride home. In fact she screamed her head off unless I was stuffing her face with food.<br />You know I feel truely blessed that there are people out there that God has picked out to do this kind of work and really love what they do. I was so happy with each and every nurse or doctor that we came in contact with. They all treated Lea like she was their child. It made me feel very blessed to be able to have and pay for health insurance.<br /><br />DISCLAIMER:<br />Ok, so I am at a scrapbooking party and since my sister got all the creative genes in the family I don't scrapbook. I have tried many times and I just can't seem to stick with it. Plus I think I have ADD because I can't stay focused I always spend a long time looking at my pictures and not scrapbooking. See I just did it I got completely off topic so anyways I just am putting the disclaimer so that if there are errors you will know why and forgive me. It has taken me two hours to write this blog and now I am finally going to be done. <br />Oh, yeah I will post pictures of Lea in her little hospital that I actually ended up taking home (with the permission of the nurse). It is the cutest thing I have ever seen. Oh yeah I also got a video of Lea on her silly juice. It is so cute!!!Stantonclanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15755556620494280516noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6209846641117508552.post-56068177160373058572008-08-08T09:36:00.000-07:002008-08-08T10:03:01.845-07:00PLEASE PRAY!! Doctor Doctor!!!Right now we are on our way to the Children's Hospital in Oakland for Lea. On Wednesday around 11am I got a call from her specialist that she scheduled an <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0">appt</span>. for Friday for a <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1">colonoscopy</span> and an <span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2">endonoscopy</span>. She told me where it was and then said she would call back with the rest of the details. I was a little taken back at first due to the urgency (tone) in her voice. By 4pm I still had not received any more details. I finally called and learned that we needed to be there by 11am. Oh, and that Lea was not allowed to eat or drink anything before the procedure (the actual procedure is not until 12:30).<br />I am really concerned how this is going to affect her. I know that she is not going to remember but I am. So, maybe I am more worried about how I am going to react. I know and want to believe that the Lord has his hand in this and that He will keep her safe and at ease. I just pray that I can stay at ease during the whole day. I am also really concerned about Kiley because she is beginning to understand so much, much more than I realize. I don't want to shield her from this but I also don't want to scare her. It is such a tough place to be in. The only thing that I have left in me is to pray and ask our friends and family to do the same. Thanks to all!!! I will update after we know more.Stantonclanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15755556620494280516noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6209846641117508552.post-71370200740216446352008-07-14T15:01:00.000-07:002008-07-20T08:47:42.337-07:00The Bravest Girls I Know!You might be wondering why I used this title for the post??? The reason is because I was blown away at how brave Kiley acted at the water park that we went to in Montana. There was a kid section with two slides and then another part with about five or six big slides. Brian decided to ask Kiley if she wanted to go down one of the big slides with him and after a little persuation she went. I got a few pictures of her sitting in his lap on the way down. I was so proud of her because when I went down that one later in the day I will admit it I was a little scared (I just never told anyone). After that she acted as if she could accomplish anything. She was going up the ramp to the kiddy slides and down them like it was no problem. She even got taken out on the slide by and older kid and did not skip a beat. She is such a brave girl.<br /><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgduxlwyVAn9gsyzbbykyGiSCXE7l14CnlrVuMVitwkDplZJ5bEJuV8jA-cuwCj6_wWpAKHXUwMmbNH6bBQISab43nJfht7HtvQkTxmnf6119bgXre8OEB4pmKzyZ5EB-DyKQ3KxIl7X4Y/s1600-h/Montana+244.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5225120199921038018" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgduxlwyVAn9gsyzbbykyGiSCXE7l14CnlrVuMVitwkDplZJ5bEJuV8jA-cuwCj6_wWpAKHXUwMmbNH6bBQISab43nJfht7HtvQkTxmnf6119bgXre8OEB4pmKzyZ5EB-DyKQ3KxIl7X4Y/s320/Montana+244.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiaojf2UBSATUCLrav6Fi-JOGvLVISxKqxzcL5ncJIwaKXxuDPFA0QwDKd2BUT8oW9FAVG1yVhPgo6OTRQ-Piu6WdGreOZ-dFhtGulaj9qJbUivsewIhJlUZREwewBNWPvh0uDI8Vw04xY/s1600-h/Montana+250.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5222996777600205586" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiaojf2UBSATUCLrav6Fi-JOGvLVISxKqxzcL5ncJIwaKXxuDPFA0QwDKd2BUT8oW9FAVG1yVhPgo6OTRQ-Piu6WdGreOZ-dFhtGulaj9qJbUivsewIhJlUZREwewBNWPvh0uDI8Vw04xY/s320/Montana+250.jpg" border="0" /></a> Look at that huge smile on her face.

She took about an hour to get used to the water but once she adjusted she was a happy girl. Of course here are a few fun pictures. The funny thing about Lea is that she would rather eat food any day then play in the water. She is definitly food oriented. </div><br /><p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiylDTZlJgBG-pzVvmrSXMEOgxJYBTnf3FJOtrh_UJym0RCdlRouONYn4q48-V5poYOHHUH540o5y_HEB7lSnffIjOtxjSHdXGFUm4kjcUbzs0YbAjPj8PXt4c4lCIxkcbINeWRa41q_wM/s1600-h/Montana+247.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5222996760457781810" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiylDTZlJgBG-pzVvmrSXMEOgxJYBTnf3FJOtrh_UJym0RCdlRouONYn4q48-V5poYOHHUH540o5y_HEB7lSnffIjOtxjSHdXGFUm4kjcUbzs0YbAjPj8PXt4c4lCIxkcbINeWRa41q_wM/s320/Montana+247.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiT3jnkspC7fdsib3ShcGJiIkdJaNYltFhK6uFkEWCq8w_DkVU1_5XyhkvIPsDm2oxhEuj_024TKlbIQkCO5HzUpPJkZ7fzKzacnXxq1vHUo9eh_CuhwBsLzjr3AH7zX32MNmLZyofCQ5o/s1600-h/Montana+256.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5225120209967344658" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiT3jnkspC7fdsib3ShcGJiIkdJaNYltFhK6uFkEWCq8w_DkVU1_5XyhkvIPsDm2oxhEuj_024TKlbIQkCO5HzUpPJkZ7fzKzacnXxq1vHUo9eh_CuhwBsLzjr3AH7zX32MNmLZyofCQ5o/s320/Montana+256.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1Ii2nAhCk3yU2WvCd5aj6sbjuJKOJNsS5qQonjGxxPY_0U8_RMh02sw_X46fiWaBazmUCRG6Pw60cEoI-jF1q0HF_U9Mwd63hXPwRPD3XaEeqqP3xvt-JaPDk0cyjuxah0PwBGWV9GFo/s1600-h/Montana+273.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5225120241252917618" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh1Ii2nAhCk3yU2WvCd5aj6sbjuJKOJNsS5qQonjGxxPY_0U8_RMh02sw_X46fiWaBazmUCRG6Pw60cEoI-jF1q0HF_U9Mwd63hXPwRPD3XaEeqqP3xvt-JaPDk0cyjuxah0PwBGWV9GFo/s320/Montana+273.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />Brian and his cousin Mark went down a slide that looked like the cliff hanger at Water World (I use to visit there frequently when I was in Jr high). </p><p>This is Brian and his cousin Mark after they went down the slide.<br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-Mz2ndvk5e_2lSQk8SCpYFif00itoRyGPhTNSNz7q3ZkosXeqKyeNxxYCdwzdvcU4G7HIODkxwCY2vm2qNVwd_GTnaDCjQ_dv1jVqDL_eQmPmUy7aEb1avld_Ip8QR8O4OJT_E8CRZqo/s1600-h/Montana+242.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5225120249799029794" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi-Mz2ndvk5e_2lSQk8SCpYFif00itoRyGPhTNSNz7q3ZkosXeqKyeNxxYCdwzdvcU4G7HIODkxwCY2vm2qNVwd_GTnaDCjQ_dv1jVqDL_eQmPmUy7aEb1avld_Ip8QR8O4OJT_E8CRZqo/s320/Montana+242.jpg" border="0" /></a> This is Brian flying down the slide.

The place we went you were guaranteed to catch a fish. The girls each got to take their turn trying to fish. Lea was more interested in playing in the water and Kiley want to sit and do my hair.

If was fun to see them let loose and try something that we don't get to do every day. The water was so crystal clear that you could see the fish swimming all around the fishing line. I think that was the girls favorite part. </div><div></div><div>On the way home the adults got to have some fun. We stopped at a brewery and each had a quick beer. It was nice and refreshing and we did not have to pile out all the kids. Brian's aunt Keri stayed in the car with all the kids while they watched a movie. But, like I said it was a quick one because I could not imagine being in a car with six children by myself (crazy). She is such a wonderful grandma/aunt. </div>Stantonclanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15755556620494280516noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6209846641117508552.post-77462728582135873972008-07-11T09:02:00.001-07:002008-07-11T13:21:35.949-07:00Having fun in MontanaHere are a few cool pictures of the landscape on the way to Montana and the road signs.

It was not without at least a couple hours of screaming from my bundle of joy, Lea. Oh, and Kiley figured out really quick what would make us stop the car. She would tell us about every hour that she had to go to the bathroom and I would take her and she would not go (of course). The only good thing about that is she did not have any accidents.<em> </em><br /><br />I think the hardest thing I had to deal with the whole two days was trying to get Lea to sleep on the floor of a hotel room. About 10:30pm on Thursday night we decided to start looking for a hotel to stay in. We did not find one until about midnight. We got all settled in and then we had to transfer the kids (realizing that we didn't have a bed for Lea). We tried to lay her on top of a blanket on the floor. She got right up and began running away from us. She was laughing and was wide awake. I was so tired and frustrated all I wanted to do was sleep. Brian thought it was the funniest thing he had ever seen. Finally after about a half hour Brian gave Lea a bath, I gave her some benadryl and we put the night stand at the end of the bed. Lea was blocked between the bed and the wall, she screamed for another half hour and then finnally crashed. By the way did I mention that I was TRYING to sleep and Brian was running around with Lea just cracking up.<br /><br />Overall the two days went pretty well.<br /><br />Here are a few pictures that we took on the drive to billings, Montana where we stayed the whole week with Brian's cousins:<br /><br /><br /><br /><p><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbPXrZVoaKRc7AY-v1jcgkm17Idul9-GAxYGiAEVmFVIl3UJp7jNS71gD00QNRu_2lhTJr5D-5sclRfP_rKwixhZKiejbRGKE38zSq2EzldI5MbiiDLy5GRlidN6W6mAOnC3i96bEZgvk/s1600-h/Montana+010.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5220003375844708914" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbPXrZVoaKRc7AY-v1jcgkm17Idul9-GAxYGiAEVmFVIl3UJp7jNS71gD00QNRu_2lhTJr5D-5sclRfP_rKwixhZKiejbRGKE38zSq2EzldI5MbiiDLy5GRlidN6W6mAOnC3i96bEZgvk/s320/Montana+010.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjk5rsstgfyA089XDNabXcXrIw8lA-DatpOcdOH9KtppGHXhyphenhyphenCSwvEVbqVbYEK-V4F_Ctj60nkOs05AnBd0zxib5PrJiaTaVWinb5yYdnpWWfZdG6qtAAVEIfeox6wXUxgRsJCsuiWA09U/s1600-h/Montana+011.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5220007503253896050" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjk5rsstgfyA089XDNabXcXrIw8lA-DatpOcdOH9KtppGHXhyphenhyphenCSwvEVbqVbYEK-V4F_Ctj60nkOs05AnBd0zxib5PrJiaTaVWinb5yYdnpWWfZdG6qtAAVEIfeox6wXUxgRsJCsuiWA09U/s320/Montana+011.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRWQkHJWdJEqHa7qwrsM99kxRbVN5CeuxapUvJEO6UlR-VZo6PMC8UVYVRvsASswqJ2CtPOhz8Xn5Vd-nuUtbCw9RPna__Yw9dVEalvG1q0vphUyBLjbZq6SbFpaw3MvXF17d5llDlvic/s1600-h/Montana+012.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5220007506078467410" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiRWQkHJWdJEqHa7qwrsM99kxRbVN5CeuxapUvJEO6UlR-VZo6PMC8UVYVRvsASswqJ2CtPOhz8Xn5Vd-nuUtbCw9RPna__Yw9dVEalvG1q0vphUyBLjbZq6SbFpaw3MvXF17d5llDlvic/s320/Montana+012.jpg" border="0" /></a> <br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrIuNfGxB0laxEQYM0f76epQuA4sDEfs8PpmgdY28anUR9ascIlGbWRwCpRKcv65LE9HYc4P3lI5tCMFoAL9PuKqQYL1s3gAOf-z_tOsfa5EQg75LMfcHKRVzCY6gZSw5sgTifxKAhyphenhyphen44/s1600-h/Billings.JPG"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5220003357226622354" style="DISPLAY: block; MARGIN: 0px auto 10px; CURSOR: hand; TEXT-ALIGN: center" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjrIuNfGxB0laxEQYM0f76epQuA4sDEfs8PpmgdY28anUR9ascIlGbWRwCpRKcv65LE9HYc4P3lI5tCMFoAL9PuKqQYL1s3gAOf-z_tOsfa5EQg75LMfcHKRVzCY6gZSw5sgTifxKAhyphenhyphen44/s320/Billings.JPG" border="0" /></a> Finally we arrived...it was a long drive and we could not wait to get out of the car.

Brian took off work, Lea is feeling some what better and now we are taking a 20 hour car ride to visit some of Brian's family.<br /><br />The last time we went Kiley was only 5 months old. We drove with Brian's mom, all of his siblings and Mikey's girlfriend Christina. Kiley actually did better then anyone else in the car. She only cried twice. My biggest fear is that this car ride is going to be miserable.<br /><br />This time it is only Brian and I and the girls. So, we only have two adults able to drive instead of seven. Lea hates the car even if we only drive down the street she will scream the entire way. Kiley is potty training or is potty trained (whatever you want to call it) so we will have to stop at least every hour and a half for her to go potty. So we figured that we will try and take our time and we will most likely have to stop a ton but I think we are ready to face the adventure. Oh, yeah I am not a huge fan of drugging our children but I heard that benadryl works to calm a child down so I have some just in case.<br /><br />Please pray that we have a safe trip on the way there and back. Oh, and that Brian and I do not strangle each other and instead we can enjoy the 20 hours we have to spend alone as a family.<br /><br />I will TRY and post at least twice while we are gone. I am sorry in advance if I just don't get around to it because I don't really know exactly what we are going to be doing. If I don't then I will obviously update when we get back in July.<br /><br />Have a great 4th....know Brian will (nothing is illegal in Montana).Stantonclanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15755556620494280516noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6209846641117508552.post-47278068438606254592008-06-24T13:03:00.001-07:002008-06-25T12:54:59.612-07:00Busiest weekend of our livesLast weekend we had a super busy weekend...brace yourself!<br /><br />Friday night my best friend Dena and my hubby planned a surprise dinner for me at Cattlemen's (I love that place) then we went to TGI Friday's after the party for a quick drink with some friends from high school. We all have birthday's in June so we usually celebrate together. Then Saturday morning we woke up early and had a big party for Lea. We had a big Dora bounce house, water balloons (thanks to Kevin and Amanda), pool, squirt guns and lots of food. Then the girls got a short nap while Brian waited until 4:30 for the guy to pick up the bounce house. We rushed to see our friends son get dedicated at thier church in Folsom.. We got home around 8:30 ish and we all went to sleep. We woke up early again Sunday and it was Lea and James' turn to be dedicated at our church. We went to my sister's house afterwards for a big party to celebrate the dedication, Father's day and Raider's birthday. WOW it was a busy weekend here are some pictures for everyone to enjoy....<br /><br /><div style="WIDTH: 400px; TEXT-ALIGN: center"><embed src="http://w276.photobucket.com/pbwidget.swf?pbwurl=http://w276.photobucket.com/albums/kk16/msrunner/Party Weekend/f9b69e0a.pbw" width="400" height="300" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent"></embed><a href="http://i276.photobucket.com/redirect/album?action=slideshow&landing=/slideshows&type=96" target="_blank"><img style="BORDER-TOP-WIDTH: 0px; BORDER-LEFT-WIDTH: 0px; FLOAT: left; BORDER-BOTTOM-WIDTH: 0px; BORDER-RIGHT-WIDTH: 0px" src="http://pic.photobucket.com/slideshows/btn.gif" /></a><a href="http://s276.photobucket.com/albums/kk16/msrunner/Party%20Weekend/?action=view&current=f9b69e0a.pbw" target="_blank"><img style="BORDER-TOP-WIDTH: 0px; BORDER-LEFT-WIDTH: 0px; FLOAT: left; BORDER-BOTTOM-WIDTH: 0px; BORDER-RIGHT-WIDTH: 0px" src="http://pic.photobucket.com/slideshows/btn_viewallimages.gif" /></a></div><br /><br /><br /><br /><div style="WIDTH: 480px; TEXT-ALIGN: center"><embed src="http://w276.photobucket.com/pbwidget.swf?pbwurl=http://w276.photobucket.com/albums/kk16/msrunner/Party Weekend/91850933.pbw" width="480" height="360" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" wmode="transparent"></embed><a href="http://i276.photobucket.com/redirect/album?action=slideshow&landing=/slideshows&type=8" target="_blank"><img style="BORDER-TOP-WIDTH: 0px; BORDER-LEFT-WIDTH: 0px; FLOAT: left; BORDER-BOTTOM-WIDTH: 0px; BORDER-RIGHT-WIDTH: 0px" src="http://pic.photobucket.com/slideshows/btn.gif" /></a><a href="http://s276.photobucket.com/albums/kk16/msrunner/Party%20Weekend/?action=view&current=91850933.pbw" target="_blank"><img style="BORDER-TOP-WIDTH: 0px; BORDER-LEFT-WIDTH: 0px; FLOAT: left; BORDER-BOTTOM-WIDTH: 0px; BORDER-RIGHT-WIDTH: 0px" src="http://pic.photobucket.com/slideshows/btn_viewallimages.gif" /></a></div>Stantonclanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15755556620494280516noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6209846641117508552.post-83939232334095626392008-06-20T16:18:00.001-07:002008-06-20T17:11:03.944-07:00I am back!I have been absent for a while sorry to those who have been checking up on the blog. I lost the part to my camera that the memory card goes into. I finally found it and now I have a moment to sit down and update everyone as to what has been going on in our lives. Here are a few things!<br />First-a doctor update for Lea:<br /><br />Lea finally saw a specialist for her problems. The specialist determined that she has reflux, cow's milk allergy cells built up on the lining of her stomach and gave us a lab slip to run some other tests. We feel very happy that she is actually being taken care of. I just know it is partly my fault because I took so long to switch doctor's (Thanks Danielle for continually talking about it and pushing me to change). I know that Lea is going to get the care that she needs and hopefully by age four she will out grow this (that is what the specialist said). Untill the we will take it one day at a time and try our best to not have her lose weight.<br /><br />Second-What we have been up to:<br /><br />We have done so many activities in the last couple weeks. I will put a couple pictures from each event that happen. I will try to keep it short...<br /><br /><br />We went to infineon race way to see the the wine country classic races. We had a great time. We were a little concerned it would be loud but it was not bad at all. They also had a play ground there. The girls had a really fun time.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNDUEgC_pKpbx64n_l9iMxBLWa0zcRXAakEy-r5rWLmmzEXfgqvY4rtHJg-xOxSjvWAGomMiv43XwrCaUU3Nx8TXlTWdAkVtouSfjaw2Q-q0j87AoX4oDAP5-zObCAfMmyYwTuvqDeXbI/s1600-h/Car+races+044.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5214114886409669698" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEiNDUEgC_pKpbx64n_l9iMxBLWa0zcRXAakEy-r5rWLmmzEXfgqvY4rtHJg-xOxSjvWAGomMiv43XwrCaUU3Nx8TXlTWdAkVtouSfjaw2Q-q0j87AoX4oDAP5-zObCAfMmyYwTuvqDeXbI/s320/Car+races+044.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirtSUsH1Bx_izy8qJJakDe31Yzn1n_NrZm4LusWhf7fwexoHPPCLkFqVqvbQN4qJR7eHQpPFuLt3DhPeBPmwlOD7pHfRIfo-PRzBULA_RxBsNU8xWPH9dMpPEy1iHx6pvfuN3KlTWkqGI/s1600-h/Car+races+056.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5214113711828065666" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEirtSUsH1Bx_izy8qJJakDe31Yzn1n_NrZm4LusWhf7fwexoHPPCLkFqVqvbQN4qJR7eHQpPFuLt3DhPeBPmwlOD7pHfRIfo-PRzBULA_RxBsNU8xWPH9dMpPEy1iHx6pvfuN3KlTWkqGI/s320/Car+races+056.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhI9FWVr107lJ0lq6qww210TjlwWvtgjeRCEXdIVJdy5RiHhTu0vH_OHPjNwig6TJ25k3OLUSUrjL7zrUCZlqVJ2xwjpQ5WSMo20keUCNWvUwWsUafzsOdoG0Wp9p6XGoE79p8_wYuXLf4/s1600-h/Car+races+010.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5214112743023604162" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhI9FWVr107lJ0lq6qww210TjlwWvtgjeRCEXdIVJdy5RiHhTu0vH_OHPjNwig6TJ25k3OLUSUrjL7zrUCZlqVJ2xwjpQ5WSMo20keUCNWvUwWsUafzsOdoG0Wp9p6XGoE79p8_wYuXLf4/s320/Car+races+010.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><div><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhb-XqwLqC6FU1T1i54-Q1Ojd-r99-DlSbwwLTRcSAmFG_6YHW4w8fKv7h-CidtriYplBcEge4kCXC_PoZvvpr-P7o1PmA8fEUTjg_UoctSI6X7mdTgfpxhGuZTzPIqxN8aU5UCOPI_KsA/s1600-h/Car+races+004.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5214111750176046738" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhb-XqwLqC6FU1T1i54-Q1Ojd-r99-DlSbwwLTRcSAmFG_6YHW4w8fKv7h-CidtriYplBcEge4kCXC_PoZvvpr-P7o1PmA8fEUTjg_UoctSI6X7mdTgfpxhGuZTzPIqxN8aU5UCOPI_KsA/s320/Car+races+004.jpg" border="0" /></a><br />Brian found out that one Saturday a couple weeks ago it was a free fishing day so that morning they got up and Brian took Kiley fishing. The pictures turned out totally cute. It looks like they had a good time.<br /><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgi_dTWTpO5f1h9Mb0PK5-lk2ag_x3e6Hx5QHlJa1PLrFnsLFCxGT7tMkBlIta2Zl4QmQGNMeEbCsD4tbee4idgbz9deIntokxHE7XvQE9y_1bnWDS4W0RLSowhQ2NZf4oZUgqtbDx2b3E/s1600-h/fishing+037.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5214116151600070178" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgi_dTWTpO5f1h9Mb0PK5-lk2ag_x3e6Hx5QHlJa1PLrFnsLFCxGT7tMkBlIta2Zl4QmQGNMeEbCsD4tbee4idgbz9deIntokxHE7XvQE9y_1bnWDS4W0RLSowhQ2NZf4oZUgqtbDx2b3E/s320/fishing+037.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0Eq3lnzAK7swhpXdBwTghrKtYdCWbq5bN-NCtvmY2SAPqZMnlW7ajINuioLcQdIVBiD6BS0ncRQTheUe7Dsdd3fz3W-BPI5THLb4orZS0hnUKNqSRcx99tXtfHqUZmBs_SFfw1X8EMCY/s1600-h/fishing+051.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5214116749264946818" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEi0Eq3lnzAK7swhpXdBwTghrKtYdCWbq5bN-NCtvmY2SAPqZMnlW7ajINuioLcQdIVBiD6BS0ncRQTheUe7Dsdd3fz3W-BPI5THLb4orZS0hnUKNqSRcx99tXtfHqUZmBs_SFfw1X8EMCY/s320/fishing+051.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><a href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRanf9317PpFoFLhuDhrbOS2p7CMr0WTG6zspvE_mKOjBHRNmgqw1rkgporE9GGJxwY7ybDQTuRZup88B8dL6DIZrv1z3sGQHpx3oVUpfpsrGdQy1JQfrNWsgRnnhgaZYszggMINP0w4g/s1600-h/fishing+071.jpg"><img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5214118235971179042" style="FLOAT: right; MARGIN: 0px 0px 10px 10px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjRanf9317PpFoFLhuDhrbOS2p7CMr0WTG6zspvE_mKOjBHRNmgqw1rkgporE9GGJxwY7ybDQTuRZup88B8dL6DIZrv1z3sGQHpx3oVUpfpsrGdQy1JQfrNWsgRnnhgaZYszggMINP0w4g/s320/fishing+071.jpg" border="0" /></a><br /><br />Because it has been so warm we have been driving the jeep more often.

This was an enlightening experience. This doctor was in depth about her questions and seemed to have better information than I have been getting. I believe as if she is going to follow through with making sure that Lea gets the care that she needs (instead of making a diagnosis and then forgetting about her). The doctor's assistant was extremely nice too, she even gave me a hug. I left her office feeling like they really cared and that I got some of the answers to my questions.<br /><br />I think one of the things I was expressing to Brian is that I am expecting for a doctor to meet me at some emotional level. What I have been forgetting is that they are trained to keep their emotions out of their work. So, that is why they hire loving assistants to take care of that for them. For now I am going to stick with her and I will pray that she works out for our family.<br /><br />I appreciate everyone who prayed that we would find some help. I am sometimes not really good with change but I am hopefully optimistic (like I usually try and be) that this new doctor will all work out for the best. Plus, she is only about 10 mins from our house. Our other doctor was 45 mins, what a relief!Stantonclanhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/15755556620494280516noreply@blogger.com0
