7 days...

It is only 7 days until Christmas. That is just crazy. This year has flown by, 2013 is right around the corner.
2012 re-cap:

Oh what a wonderful year it's been. As 2013 comes we are excited to see what the future brings.

Family Christmas pictures

Well we finally found time to get our pictures made! The weekend we originally planned to have them made everyone was sick, then the next weekend our photographer was sick. The morning of Thanksgiving we finally did it!
Pretty sure we did it in record time. Start to finish was about 45 mins. That is even with a clothing change for the boys. Good thing too because they were pretty much over it right as we began:)

So ready for Christmas!

Turkey day

We had a blast on Thanksgiving! Time with Family, lots of food fun and laughs.

Busy month

We have had a super busy month! September has been way too busy but so much fun!!

Right now we have t-ball, softball and Gamecock football!

My Dad has been working nights so we have not seen him much. And probably wont until around Christmas! He and Nena came by the other night to show us the new car they bought! The boys loved it.

We have also been celebrating with friends for their Birthday!

Alyssa turned 4!! Oh how we love this sweet girl!!

Wild boys!!! Patrick and Parker showing off their ballon swords that I made. They looked pretty bad but the boys loved them.

Can't believe how big this kid is getting. Patrick we love you so much. You are so funny and smart!

And little P is just a handful! He is always dirty, messy and wild. Would not have it any other way!!

We are off to Edisto this weekend with a few other families! I can't wait. We have not been to Edisto in 2 years.

Almost over!

Well Football has started and it's getting cooler. Looks like summer 2012 is pretty much over. We have enjoyed our summer trips and our pool time. Sad that it's over but looking forward to slowing down a bit. Bye bye summer nights!

911 call ER visit.

This was on Sunday....



Saturday night Pierce started running a low grade fever and his nose was running. I just thought it was teeth since he is currently getting 3 molars in right now. Well I gave him some meds before church then after church he felt really warm. I was concerned because we have given him meds already. We did a cold bath and then took him to the afterhours at Providence. They never checked his fever and did a strep test and it came back negative. So just said fluids and Tylenol and Motrin.



Well on the way home I stopped by sonic and got him a power aide slushy. And Patrick a milkshake. Got some Motrin in him and then we were all eating them on the counter when pierce fell back words. He did not get hurt but looked stunned when I picked him up. He kept staring at matt and did not blink with his mouth open. I picked him up to move him and he started to turn blue and stopped breathing. His body went limp. Matt called 911.We were freaking out! I tried to put my fingers in his throat to make sure did was not choking and his jaws were locked. We blew in his face and kept doing that while on the phone with 911. He was starting to come around but was not 100 % when EMS showed up.



Strapping my baby to a gurney in a car seat made me sick. It was horrible. The Ambulance ride was scary and they end up putting an iv in incase he had another while riding there. We got to the hospital and all beds were full. So we waited with the EMS guys in the hall. Finally a bed came open and the doc said it was likely a Febrile seizure. They gave him more meds and continue to monitor his fever it was 103.3 with meds. It had gone up after being on meds almost all day! They also did x-rays and blood work. X-rays came back cloudy in his lungs. They said that he had the start of Pneumonia. And we were floored. He had not been coughing or even acting sick! They gave him meds but also told us it could be viral and amox would not help if that was the case.

 I’m pretty sure Matt and I are still more shook up than he is and was. I have never been so scared in my life. I thought we were going to put Pierce in a body bag! When you have no idea what is going on and your kid stops breathing and turns blue you feel so helpless! Kids are different. Patrick would run a 104 without any problem and Pierce had a seizure at 102.8-103.



On Tuesday Dr. Soroos put him on a new antiobotic and he is feeling much better!

On a happer note Patrick is leaving how to write his full name! Check it out!

Oh and this is Matt trying to hula hop in the garage with the boys! He just wishes he had my skills!!
