A Sperry Good Time

Horrible Accident

2012-01-21T11:26:00.000-08:00

Yesterday I saw something that I haven’t seen before and wish to have never seen. I was with my mom in my car and we saw a truck turn left and stuff flying in the air, tons of stuff. I thought it was stuff flying out of the truck. I was going to turn right, but decided to see what was on the road. I saw a motorcycle then I saw a body of a person laying lifeless. My mom sees it too. We both start to cry. At first I thought the person in the truck had drove away (hit and run), but then I see the man in the truck running back. Also, tons of other people running to save this person’s life. It was neat to see all these people trying to save this person’s life. I had to leave, so, I don’t know what happened to this person. I pray for this person and this person’s family.
Life is a precious gift we have and never know when it will be our time to go.

Without Jesus Christ there would be no Christmas, and without Jesus Christ there can be no fullness of joy.

No More Pump

2011-02-07T06:06:00.000-08:00

10/27/2010
I went off my pump today, I’m so happy. I still feel nausea, but I felt nausea with the pump on, as long as I don’t start throwing up, I’m good. I feel so free and it’s a wonderful feeling. I don’t feel trapped to a pump that gets caught on everything. Don’t get me wrong I am grateful for the pump it saved my life, and I mean that, but it feels wonderful to not have it anymore. I felt weak wearing it, like I couldn’t control my body and I really couldn’t control it. I took this picture because you can see some of the marks on my stomach from where I had put the needle in my stomach. My stomach was so sore by the end of having that pump.

In the waiting room
This is Savvy’s 2nd time to have this test done, last year she had to have it done too. Last year her results came back positive that’s why we have to do it again this year. Brandon had to come with us, because he had to go in the room with radiology stuff, I can’t be in the room since I’m pregnant. However, I was in the room where they put a catheter in her and this was painful to be a part of. Brandon, a nurse, and I all had to hold her down while another nurse put the catheter in her and it took forever to get it in her. Savvy was crying, tense, and sweating the whole time. After this Brandon and Savvy went to the testing room, while Kaitlyn and I went back to the waiting room. Brandon told me that Savvy cried when they did the testing. Everything came back negative, so, she won’t have to go back next year.

Savvy got to pick out a toy and Brandon said the toys were nice. She chose a Sesame Street toy.

Kaitlyn with her cousin Warren, they go to the same pre-school, but on different days.
In his uniform, the kids got so scared when he put it on.

He had to take off the head piece, so, the kids would give him fives. Savannah was the worse; she was crying the loudest and hiding behind me. She was ok once he took off his head piece, then she gave him fives.

The older Kaitlyn and Warren get the better friends they become. They look so cute holding hand. They are a year a part from each other.

Sweet kids!

Each kid got to go through the fire truck. Savannah was the last kid to get off, because she wouldn’t get off. Kaitlyn had to get her off and it wasn’t easy.

I’m Pregnant!!!

2010-12-14T03:10:00.000-08:00

I’m sure everyone that reads this blog already knows I’m pregnant. This pregnancy has been my hardest by far. I thought my other two were hard, but not after this one. I couldn’t eat anything. I would go 3 days without eating and still throw up. I was dehydrated, nothing sounded good to drink. I just wanted to die. My doctor told me either I call Alere (a place that takes care of pregnant women) or she would put me in the hospital to be put on an IV. I called Alere and this is what they did to me. I was put on an IV and also had a pump with medicine pumping into my body 24/7. The IV is to get fluids into my body and the pump is for nausea.

I only had to be on the IV for 4 days and I was on the pump for 7 weeks.

Brandon has been a huge help. He works at home 3 days a week, which is a blessing. He would have to work and take care of me and the girls. I couldn’t have gotten through the first 3 months without him. Thank you Brandon, I love you so much!

The girls went to the dentist today. Kaitlyn has been two times before and this was Savannah’s first time. Kaitlyn went first and did so good, so, by the time it was Savannah’s turn she wasn’t nervous. Savannah did really well for her first time at the dentist, I’m really proud of her.

We left around 5 a.m. to go to St. George, Utah for Grandma Hill’s 80th birthday party. The drive wasn’t bad and the girls did really well. The party was today at Olive Garden. There were 17 people there. After Olive Garden we went to the Hill’s house for ice cream and cake. We hung out at their house the rest of the night.

Kaitlyn loves Grandma Hill

Aunt Susan brought this Kitchen Little Set for Kaitlyn to play with and she loved it. She played with it for hours.

Sewing On Paper

2010-01-29T13:47:00.000-08:00

1/25/2010
In my Scrapbook Magazine I see lots of design pages that people sew on paper, and it turns out really cute. This was my first time to sew on paper, it turned out ok. Maybe, I just need to do it more and I will get better at it. If anyone has any good ideas for sewing on paper I would love to know them. I sewed a folder to put my Christmas cards in. I like to make folders to put my cards in that people give me or give my family.

Sewing Skirts

2010-01-29T13:27:00.000-08:00

My sister Julie got these pants at a yard sale and gave them to me for Savannah. I thought they would be cute if I turned them into a skirt for her.

Front

Back

I’m happy with how the skirt turned out.

Julie also got these jeans for Kaitlyn at a yard sale and I made her a jean skirt with them. Every day she wants to wear a skirt.

I’m happy with how this skirt turned out too.

Aunt Sue

2010-01-29T13:17:00.000-08:00

With Cousins

1/19/2010
We went to my sister’s house this morning. She watched the girls’ while I went to the store, when I got back this is what I saw. All the kids calm and eating lunch. I just thought they all looked so cute. My kids love having and living close to their cousins.

On the way home she fell asleep.

Our Sammie

2010-01-29T12:55:00.001-08:00

Today the girls were playing with Sammie. Kaitlyn kept putting her penguin on him and Savannah would take it off. Also, they kept petting him and kissing him. I think he liked it, all the attention. We had Sam before we had kids and he gets forgotten about a lot of time. I feel bad for him.

Painting Hello Kitty

2010-01-29T12:47:00.000-08:00

Kaitlyn got this Hello Kitty for her birthday and she has been wanting to paint it ever since.

Kaitlyn had so much fun painting and she did a good job. I need to let her paint more often. She loves anything that has to do with art. I would love to get her art lesson one of these days.

Pantry Time!!!

2010-01-29T12:29:00.000-08:00

Savannah loves to get in my pantry and take everything out.

CTR 5

2010-01-14T11:12:00.000-08:00

Kaitlyn’s first day of CTR 5 was 1/10/2010; she did so well with her new teachers. I can’t believe how old she is getting; she is growing up too fast. Her first day was supposed to be 1/3/2010, but we were all so sick and couldn’t go to church. She got this CTR ring, I was hopping the picture would turn out better. Kaitlyn loves her new ring.

New Year’s Eve- 2009

2010-01-14T10:32:00.000-08:00

This year Savannah needs to give up the bottle

This year Kaitlyn needs to sleep in her own bed the whole night. When I wake up in the morning Kaitlyn is sleeping in our bed.

12/31/2009
We had a wonderful New Year’s Eve. We spent it with family at our house. We had Bill, Marianne, Andrea, Jon, Nathan, Eric, Paula, and Gavin over. We had a roast and other good foods. We got the new Mario game for our wii and had tons of fun playing that as a group. We also, watched some TV. It’s always fun to be with family.

These were the funniest pictures. We all laughed so hard. The way Andrea is sitting on Brandon she looks huge and the way Brandon is sitting on Andrea he looks huge.

I’m excited for 2010 and all the adventures our family will have. I can’t believe 2009 is over, it went too fast. The older I get the faster life goes; I wish it would slow down.

Donut Face

Found Lost baby

2010-01-14T10:14:00.000-08:00

12/21/2009
I really don’t like for my pictures to be out of order, it drives me crazy, but I forgot to blog this picture. Savannah had thrown her baby on the ground at Target without me realizing it. We left Target and went shopping at the mall, and that’s where I realized we didn’t have her baby. Savannah loves this pig, it’s the first thing she has gotten attached to, and so, I didn’t want to lose it. We went back to Target and went to the lost and found and her pig was there. This is her after we found the pig.
