The Good, the Bad, and the Ugly!

Before the good, bad, and ugly....here is the SCARY! Okay, not really but I am proud that they did not choose princesses this year. We have La La Loopsy Aynslee, Monster High Jaycee and Sicilee, and the warmest duck costume for Lainee.







Our weekend was so full of excitement! Let me start with the good.....Nickole and her family came up from St. George. My mom's and her birthday are on the same day and since it is so close to Halloween we just wanted to celebrate. She took my mom out to dinner and I watched her kiddos. I don't know how Halley manages twins because from the cute picture on.....my weekend didn't seem to go so well.












Lainee and Christian...






Some oreo balls that I made......I think I ate like 20 minimum.
















My mom brought stuff to make the "bubble juice" it was a huge hit with the kids and adults








This is what she added to make the drink fun!








We kicked Uncle Danny out with the kids since he is one himself :)










The bad........Danny's "walk of shame" Halloween costume. He managed to show up 45 minutes late to the 1:00 lunch and still in his costume from the party he went to the night before. Naughty uncle Danny shouldn't have partied so hard the night before!










Also, directly following the cute bathtub picture....Sicilee comes running upstairs to scream that Jaycee ran into the wall (yes her words exactly) and that it was bleeding everywhere. So I grabbed the 2 babies out of the tub, managed to quickly put diapers on and ran downstairs to an entire bathroom floor covered in blood. And Jaycee with a HUGE NOSE and crying uncontrollably! Eyes already black and clothes covered in blood. She had a fat lip and it looked as though her tooth went through it. It took quite a bit to get the truth out of what happened. I just needed to know how hard she hit the wall so I could determine whether to take her to the doctor or not. Eventually, Sicilee said that she did a back handspring INTO the wall. Yep, my all star cheerleader was showing off. We iced it all night. The next day Jaycee had a b-day party to go to and conveniently her friend's dad is a doctor and her mom is a nurse. So I just asked them to look at it and see if they could tell if it was broke and if I should take her in to have it set. In the end the verdict was NOT BROKE whew!!!






The blues, greens, and purples on the whole side of her face are starting to shine through.



The ugly....






Also on Saturday my Lainee struck a fever of 102.4 and would just cry all day. She hasn't broke a tooth yet (I know right?) and I knew she was teething but the temperature was too high. Low and behold an ear infection. It takes a day or two for antibiotics to start helping so the next 2 night were sleepless. Sunday night especially. I had one of my famous "I am going to die" gallbladder attacks. I have had like 6 in the last couple of months but I am stubborn and refuse to go have it looked at. Joldy was gone the whole weekend in Mesquite running a tournament for the Rocky Mountain School of Baseball (rmsb). So I was flying solo. He was on his way home and called and said the other car full of rmsb guys just got in a horrific wreck with a semi. There was construction and the cars had come to a stop and a semi missed ALL the signs to slow down and came around and hit the back of the car which slammed into the car ahead of them going through the back seat. It was awful and so Joldy took an extra day coming back home. Everyone ended up with cuts, bruises, and serious whiplash but all okay thankfully. I was glad to have him home safe :)
