Our new addition :-)

I am so excited about this! We got an awesome van! It's an 05 Nissan quest. The kids love the built-in DVD player, and Parker especially loves the wireless headphones :-)  it's so fun! Ty bought us a bike rack for the back, so we're all ready for our awesome vacation to Oregon. SOO excited!!! Thanks babe! I love it!!

Lincoln scare

Parker gave us a nice scare. He was laying on the floor with a penny in his mouth ( I had no idea). Suddenly he jumped up hysterical. I finally got him to tell me what was wrong--he swallowed the penny. I wasn't worried about it at first because he wasn't struggling for air and wasn't choking. Then he started complaining that his throat hurt really bad. I finally got ahold of Ty (who was working at urgent care). He told me to take him to the ER. On our way there, Ty called and said that his work could do an X-ray. So off to urgent care we went. Parker did great for the X-rays. These are them:

Both Ty and the doctor were quite concerned. They couldn't quite tell where it was exactly. It definitely wasn't in the stomach though. They eventually sent the pics to a radiologist who decided it was in his esophagus (thank goodness). The doctor listened to his lungs and noticed that one side was less clear than the other. We are trying to wash it down with water and food, but he still won't really eat anything. He's currently enjoying Despicable Me 2, so he hasn't complained in a bit. Hopefully it has finally moved down. (It's been 4 hours) We will be going back in tomorrow for another X-ray. The doctor really did not want it having to be pulled out--he says the risk is not worth it. Hopefully it won't come to that. Pray for us!! Poor parky. :-(

**UPDATE:**

He puked after 4.5 hours :-)

First camping of 2014

I'm sure there will be many more trips this summer (because we ALL loved it), but here are some pictures from our first camping trip this year :-)

The boys LOVED climbing this little hill up behind the tent. Dez has started to give this cheeser grin when I say "smile!"  I love it :-)

Parker showing me his muscles after climbing up the hill the first time. 

Dezs reaction after I helped him climb to the top too. He just has to do everything Parker does!

The carp we're going NUTS the whole time we were there, so Ty wanted to try and snag one. I honestly did not think he'd get one, but to my surprise, after only about 30 minutes he came back with this :-)

Parker was so proud!

Our pump wouldn't work in the car, so I blew our little raft up myself! Holy! (It wasn't as bad as the air mattress ;-) And we could only find one oar, so it was super difficult to use. Oh well, it was fun and a great workout. 

Somehow we got to the lake (about 25 minutes away) with all four of us and all our camping stuff in our little car. I was sitting between the boys with all three of our laps full, and the front seat stacked to the roof. It was super uncomfortable and Ty had to listen to 2 or maybe 3 of us complaining. ;-) we finally made it and had a great time! And the trip caused Ty to finally want a van too! We'll hopefully be getting a killer deal on one tomorrow! Woohoo! Camping on the Oregon coast?! Heck yes!!
