MANGO SAP...

So Ty has had a rash for over a week, I took him to the Dr.s on Wed and they told me he was allergic to Mango Sap. I said What? We have a big mango tree just up the hill in the big park by our house. Ty loves to go pick up the mangos that have fallen out of the tree, and loads them in his tractor. But no more doing that! Sorry buddy. I also leanred that the sap of the mango is in the same family as poison ivy, and poison oak. WHO KNEW!

Memorial Day FUN

So for Memorial Day we took a trip up north, and headed in towards Mt. Walialie (or how ever you spell it) Anyways, it was really cool because we were right up by the crater, so you could see all the waterfalls. I wish we would have known about it when Kat & Steve were it was was so fun and a perfect adventure. Anyways, we floated down this little river, and by little I really mean little. Ty wanted to pet Huck so bad so when we first got there I put him in the back of the truck with him so I could get things ready to go. So this is the start of the Little river!!! We didn't have our camera with us when we got in the water so Nic took pics after the fact, but at least you get an idea. (I didn't want to get my camera all wet) So Ty and I were in a tiny little raft or boat, and Nic was on a floaty like the ones we float on at Lake Powell, it was perfect everyone was so jelouse because we didn't get that wet, and they were all laying on their boggy boards. And let me tell you, the water was ice cold. This was the start of the LONG tunnel. Ty thought it was cool and neat, he had his flash light, and was just loving the adventure. Then when we were almost 3/4 the way through and still couldn't see the end of the tunnel, he started to get a little nervous, and said Ty want end of tunnel now. So I hugged him close, and we made it thought. But he didn't want to go back through it. It was very cool and neat, kinda freaky if you didn't have a flash light, I wish I knew exactly how long the tunnel was, I would say a good 50 yards or so. Maybe, I don't know distances very well. This was the hike back to the car after the fun swim in the pond at the end of the tunnel where there was a water fall, and a fun jumping rock. I think everyone had a great time. Notice Ty and I were the last to get off the trail, he was having so much fun hiking and checking out the cool things. He held on tight to my hand the whole time because it was a tiny bit slick for him, but he loved the whole day. Oh and to end the day off we stopped at a nice park and had a bbq and fun games. Thanks Resort Constructin for getting this all together. We really did have a great time.

One Busy Day!!

Now who ever said you need a pool to wear arm floaties? We got new arm floaties for Ty the night before since his others had a hole in them, but today he just had to try them out in the tubby, and I have to tell you the tubby was his idea to take them in. I love this Boy!!! So its friday, and we meet daddy at work to go to the beach when he was done with work. Well Ty and I headed for the park while the others got a few waves at Brenneckes. The was was perfect, big waves lots of fun, and mild weather. After a while at the park Ty said he was done, so we walked back over to the beach where everyone else was. Well for some strange reason everyone was out of the water and were talking to each other. So I walked over closer and Nic says guess what... those guys that went out spear fishing, when they were coming back in a Shark took a bit out of the fish they had on there line. What I said... then as we are looking towards the ocean this is what we saw.....(this isn't the actual shark, just one I found on google) Thats right kids... there was the shark right on the shore. It was the most amazing thing I have ever seen. First its top fin and then the tail fin came out of the water. We were all in shock. He was around 6-7 feet long. So then I hear the story. Nic and Karen were out in the water having a great time, when the divers swam next to Nic going towards shore. All the sudden the guy looks at Nic and says, did you just see that? Nic says no what? A shark just ate my fish off my line. So Nic starts swimming towards shore, while trying to swim Nic gets a huge cramp in his right leg and foot, and is hard to swim, his heart starts racing, "Oh no that shark is in the water, my leg won't swim fast enough, and my other one has a cramp in it." ( I am sure that is what he was thinking) So they make it to the shore, and that is when I came in the picture. Since we didn't take the camera that night, when the divers left they left there eaten fish behind, and we really wanted you all to see what damage a little 7 foot shark could do. So yes we threw it in the car and headed for home. Ty was so fasinated by the fish, he just sat there softly touching, and then poking its eyes. This is a parrot fish... They really do look just like a parrot, they are very big and colorful. So to give you all a little more comfort... Grey reef Sharks, (like the one we saw) are one of the more mild sharks, they are not very aggressive and usually don't come after people, they are the sharks the you usually go down and see in the shark cages. They are also the sharks that are in the movie Into the Blue. (if you have seen it) But still I don't think I would want to be in the water with a shark. So that is how our night at the beach went. A very crazy thing, I still can't believe I really saw a shark in real life in the wild.

COLORS

Ty love to paint. So I decided to let him paint water colors in the Tub. It was perfect, so easy to clean up, and he loved it!! You should try it if your little person loves to paint!

What? Things help you feel better?

Okay I thank you all for your help on my last post. I just feel so stupid for not knowing about the secret to feeling better sooner! I don't know if its because I am finally 13weeks or if was the unisom and vitamin b-6 that helped me. But I have to say I have gone 2 days almost with not throwing up! YEAH!! I guess when I talked to my Dr. before and he really didn't say there was something I could take, I thought I just needed to tough it out. But as Nic said last night... "why weren't you taking this sooner, we could have saved so much on eating out for dinner." Silly Nic I wish I knew about it sooner to, but thanks to all who gave me advice. And thanks aunt Tippy for telling me how to take it, and letting me know I didn't need a Rx for the silly meds. I hope this good feeling keeps on going, the big test is going to be the weekend, that is when I have been the sickest usually! LOVE YOU ALL!!

Pregnancy

Okay ladies... seriously how many times can a person puke from one little critter inside of her? I mean its only maybe 2 inches big, but holy cow. I no longer like the toilet, we are not friends anymore. This pregnancy is 100% different from when I was pregnant with Ty. AHHH I guess I am mastering the technique of puking. So tell me your story's of when you were sick, so I can feel better!!! I am so sorry to all you who have been sick while being pregnant. And Michelle and Mom I don't know how you guys did this for longer then 4 months. I love you all for your sacrifice!!!

P.S. I Love You...

Okay so if you have not seen this show you need to rent it. Its a chick flick... but I would have to say one of the best chick flicks that I have seen in a long time. I usually don't get very emotional over movies but this one I was teary through the whole show. (could be pregnancy induced) But wow is all I have to say... This show totally makes you so thankful for all our Heavenly Father has given to us. Mostly our husbands. I really don't know what I would do if I lost the man I love very dearly. Nic thanks for all you are and all you teach me. Thanks for helping me to be a better person each day. Thanks for understanding me, and what I need and trying so hard to make those needs meet. So ladies if you need a good cry, rent this show. (thanks Karen for letting me borrow it) And when you are done, you may feel the same way I do, very much at peace with your life and over joyed as to the blessings you have received. P.S. Nic I LOVE YOU!!!

The Miracle of Life

Sorry this Picture isn't very good. We had our first ultrasound last Friday. It was amazing, I didn't think it would be as exciting as the first one with Ty by it was so neat. We saw its tiny little fingers, the heart, and the cord that feeds and helps keep it strong. Its so amazing to me that such a tiny thing grows inside of you to be such an amazing human being. I am so thankful to be able to have life within me, and to watch and see the Miracle of Life that our Heavenly Father gives us. The Dr. kept saying look at how good this baby looks, so that gave me great hope and comfort to know things a heathy, and going well so far. Now if I could just get over being sick, it really is a drag when you don't feel good, but I guess its for a good cause.

What to do... What to do...

So Nic is taking Ty with him tomorrow night to the Father & Son's outing. What is a mom to do when the daddy and the son is gone? I just don't know, I should rent a movie and get in a nice bubble bath... or maybe just read some of my book I have been dying to finish. What is a mom to do? This is going to be wierd, I just want you all do know I have not been alone all night since I had Ty... That would be 27months I just really don't know what I will do? I think just relax and take it easy!

Our Ty

Ty love bandaids.... And for some reason he likes to put them over his mouth... The first one was just the other day, and he wore that thing for hours on his mouth until he decided he needed something to eat and drink. (the green dot on the side of his face, was a patch he found and man it was hard to get off, that one left a mark.... The last ones were at Grandma Karen's house when we visited last time.
