Picture Day

The other day, we pulled out the camera and decided to take some fun pictures. Please just enjoy!

We let the kids look at books for 1/2 an hour before bed. I went in to tuck them in the other night and they had both fallen asleep on Kari's bed. It was so cute!

Goof balls!

The scariest thing happened to us the other night. Kari came in our room around 4 am and said she had to go potty. I took her, and put her back to bed. She came back in about 45 minutes later complaining her head hurt so I let her sleep with us. About an hour later I heard this girgling sound from her, so I sat her up. She threw up a bunch of yucky mucus. I asked her if she was ok and she didn't answer. I got Buck and he turned on the light and cleaned up the mess. All the while I would ask Kari, how do you feel? Can you say mommy? Can you say daddy? She would not respond. She was also limp this whole time just leaning on me. Then Buck picked her up and said, who am I? No answer and she wouldn't focus on anything. She didn't even respond when the light was turned on. I could ask her is that daddy? She would nod her head but that was it. We were so scared, she was limp and non-responsive for about 5 minutes. Buck gave her back to me and I let her lay down. She closed her eyes and about a minute later she woke up and threw up again. This time she was responsive and could focus. I was glad but still so scared. Luckily Kristen and Mikey had arrived around 11:30 last night and could help. Buck got Mikey and together they gave her a blessing. I felt much better after that, but I couldn't go back to sleep, I had to keep an eye on her.

Anyway, we assume that she was just still asleep through all of that with her eyes wide open. That was definitely one of my scariest moments as a mom! All is well, and nothing like that has happened since. That was early Saturday morning. We just love our little girl and don't want anything to ever happen to her. We love Hayden too!

Dealey Plaza

We have already gotten to do some traveling. We visited my dad & Mary down by Dallas last weekend. We were lucky enough to get to go to Dealey Plaza/ 6th Floor Museum. For those like me that don't know what that is, it is the site where John F. Kennedy was shot.

This is the bookstore (on the left) where Lee Harvey Oswald was set up for his shot. He was on the 6th floor at the window on the far right.

This is the spot where Kennedy received the kill shot. There are many theories as to who really shot him and what exactly happened. It was really interesting to see the videos and evidence supporting different theories in the museum.

This is part of the Grassy Knoll. Thanks dad for a great day, and thanks to Mary for watching our kiddos.

Big News!

So it's big news for us. Some of you already know, but we are moving to Texas in a couple weeks. James is doing some schooling through the army at Shepard Airforce Base in Wichita Falls. We will be there for about 10 months.

Our other big news is that we are having a baby. A boy to be exact. I just had my ultrasound on Monday. We are very excited to have a Texas baby. I am due May 31. I will try to do much better at keeping my blog updated.

Since I have been such a slacker at blogging I have done 4 posts today, so please view them as well if you have the time. Love you all!

Kari is 4!

Happy Birthday to Kari Jo who is finally 4. We had a super party planned for her, but then it had to snow and many people couldn't travel. Luckily Grandma & Grandpa Porter could still make it. We also had a party with my side of the family, but I can't find those pictures.

She got some super cool Dora Rollerskates. She is already getting pretty good.
