Phone Pics

Mark figured out how to download the pictures from my phone to our computer!  My old phone broke a year ago, so these are from April 2012 to present.

Love this picture of the girls.

 

 

Megan's little squish face, I love it.

Kendra and her friend from church. They had to practice their hula hoop skills for the talent show.

 

 

The primary kids did a song for the talent show.

Megan created her own doll.

Pink eye :(

All better!

The girls love to play around the table.  Something thrilling about walking around in a circle.

The Latest Visit

This week's doctor visit was to the radiologist.  At well child check ups the doctor pushes and straightens the child's legs.  Did you know there is actually a purpose to that?  Kylee's fat rolls aren't symmetrical.  They typically are so we had to take her in to get an ultrasound on her hips.  Basically to make sure she didn't have hip dysplasia.  We were happy to learn that everything is normal and looks fine.

When I called to schedule her appointment the earliest appointments were after Kendra was home from school.  So I waited because I only wanted to take two children this time.  Megan was awesome.  I brought a notepad and a pen and she sat and drew the whole time.  So much easier with two.

Easter

Sisters

For Easter we headed to Albertsons to decorate egg cakes.  When we arrived they had just begun the easter egg hunt so the girls were able to do that too.  Then we came home and decorated eggs...

  And had our own egg hunt.

 

Since we were a little late to the egg hunt at Albertsons the manager gave Megan a chocolate bunny.

On Sunday one of my old Mia Maids came over with a friend in a bunny costume. 

The only picture the girls would take with the easter bunny.

Our chickens have mites.  I love how Mark tries to be a farm boy.  He held the chickens by the legs to spray them down, then he gently placed them back on the ground.  When I was little we'd throw them and let them fly down.

What Would It Be Like

I'm looking forward to the week that I don't see a doctor...or have a sick kid...or have a kid on medicine.  When that week comes I'm breaking open the gingerale and celebrating.

Kylee had her 2 month well child check up today.  She STILL has thrush but I waited for her well child visit because it is free, otherwise I pay $100.   I asked the doctor for the strongest anti-fungal possible.  She gave me a prescription for diflucan for 2 weeks, and Kylee a compound prescription.  So help me if this doesn't get rid of it!  Previously I used nystatin, nystatin cream, gentian violet, 250 mg grapefruit seed extract 3x daily and an acidophilus/bifidus probiotic  (8 billion per capsule) 2 pills 3x daily.  And we still have thrush.  It just won't leave us alone! 

Kylee is in the 50th percentile for weight and height. 

Pox regimen:

Just in case someone needs this for Chicken Pox:

100% pure essential oils

Immunity blend (I used Onguard) with fractionated coconut oil.  Use a cotton ball (never your fingers because it can cause a secondary infection) and wipe on pox 3 times daily.

Skin blend (I used claraderm) spray on pox 3 times daily

Oatmeal bath - take a sock add regular oatmeal.  Let water run through it while filling tub.  Squeeze  the sock at the end.  It should look like a milk bath.  Use up to every 4 hours.

Lavender/baking soda bath.  Take baking soda, add lavender, and after filling the tub dump it in.  Can use up to every 4 hours.

That's it!  I read that Onguard would make the pox disappear.  Megan's are almost completely gone.  It's awesome.

And So It Begins

Yep.
