Getting back to normal

Well things have started to get back to normal. For those of you who don't know. Last week Andy was in the hospital from Sunday night until Thursday night. It was crazy. Sunday night he had a bad head ache in the back of his head. We were throwing all of the clothes down the stairs to do the laundry. I went to put the kids to bed and Chase came running and said that Andy had fallen down the stairs and was asleep. I went running down the stairs when I got to him he was out. He was breathing and his heart rate was fine. I got our friend to come watch the kids and I got him awake enough to get him in the car. I took him to the ER, there they gave him some pain med and were doing a bunch of test. They had to do a spinal on him, but right before they had given him more pain med, then he basically crashed in the ER. It was really scary. That ended him up in the ICU for most for Monday and then we spent till Thursday in the hospital. Things are getting back to normal, he still isn't able to go back to work yet, we have an appt tomorrow so we should know more tomorrow. The kids are loving having him home. We did go to Chase's Halloween parade today and I will get pictures posted when I get some more time. I just thought that I would put a quick update on. Thanks for all of the phone calls, the well wishes, prayers, and thoughts. They are greatly appreciated.

Our Anniversary

Well I can now say that we have been married for 7 years!!!! It was our anniversary yesterday. We have a house, a van, and 4 kids later. We decided that after church we would go for a ride up to the mountains. It was so pretty all the colors of the leaves are changing. There is actually some snow up there. We went up guardsman pass. Which is actually what we did during our honeymoon. So we also found a red tailed fox, deer, and a hawk. Okay so we almost hit the deer, but we didn't and everyone is okay. Here are some pictures that we took with our cell phones, still working towards that camera. Blake slept through it, Maddie was awake for most of it, Chase and Alyssa loved the snow. Here are also some pretty pictures of the mountains and we even found a snowman on the side of the road. It was pretty fun anniversary. Thanks honey for being a great husband and dad to the kids. You are awesome!!!!! Sorry we didn't get any pictures of us yesterday. We forgot to have the kids take some.

Update and Pictures

So I know that it has been awhile since I have posted something on our blog. Sorry life has been really crazy and I just haven't had time. So here is a little update on our family. Lys is loving school, wishes she could go more. Chase is also loving preschool. He would like to go more and be as big as Lys so that he could go to the big school, I just keep telling him that he gets to go next year. Blake is going crazy not be able to go to school, he really doesn't know what to do with the kids gone, because Lys and Chase are gone at the same time, and Maddie usually takes her nap then. I try to play games or do an activity with him. He is getting more used to it, until Lys goes off track and then we will have an issue. Maddie turned one and is walking everywhere she wants to go, it is crazy how fast that she is growing up. She is also saying a couple of words, like kitty cat, mama, Dada, chase, Nana, this, and baba. I am so excited for when everyone is potty trained and I don't have to change diapers anymore. The kids are alot of fun. I am enjoying knowing that we are done having kids and I can look forward to the next stages in life. Andy got transfer to the downtown store from Millcreek it is still the assistant manager job. He is going to be starting school in January. I am also excited for him to finish school. I know that it will be a long road. But I know everything will be okay. I am still a senior pampered chef consultant. I absolutely love it, I am getting 2 more recruits this month and if I get one more then I will be director. That is what I am aiming for. I am still working one night a week at spag. Well here are the pictures it is Blake's 3 year pictures, Maddie 1 year pictures, and then one of all four kids. Hope you enjoy them.
