camping and happy 100th post!!

The first weekend of June Shane and I went camping with a group of friends. It was a lot of fun and the weather was perfect. Unfortunately our trip was cut short because of our sick little girl but it was still great to get out of the city even just for a short time. We went with six of our friends and we had five dogs total with us. Whoa! I love camping with dogs it's the best. We ate lots of yummy food. For some reason I eat so much when I am camping...love it. We ended up camping up Provo canyon above Sundance the spot we found was beautiful.

Some pictures.....

Happy 100th post to my little blog!! I am still glad we're friends :)

Sickies!!

We have had a rough week at the Thornton house. I think we are finally through the rough patch though *insert sigh of relieve here*

Well Saturday Shane and I went camping with some friends...no kids! Awesome :)(I will post some pictures later). We had a lot of fun and the weather was awesome. Then on Sunday morning when I woke up I got a call from my dad saying Addy was super sick and had a fever and we needed to come home. Well of course this put me in total panic mode so we hurried and ate breakfast packed up and headed home:( Once we got home Addy didn't seem that bad so we played and had lunch then she had her nap. Well in the mean time Shane started feeling really sick and took a nap too. Later that night Shane started getting the chills and had a fever. So of course the poor guy could not help with the little one. Ahh!

I tried putting Addy to bed that night and she didn't go to sleep until 11:30!! Which is way late for her. Then at 3:30am I could hear her breathing really heavy so I went and checked on her and took her temperature and the thermometer read 104 degrees!! Crap! It scared us so bad so we rushed up to Primary children's hospital. It turns out she has a virus and an ear infection. Well we didn't get home until 6:30 and I had to hurry and get ready and go to work. Awesome. Shane stayed home with Addy but he was still so sick. I ended up going home early that day but I couldn't nap because I just can't...not a napper.

Then on Monday night she woke up in the night and was up for about two hours. I was a zombie yesterday! Finally last night I went to bed early and got a good night sleep. I feel like a whole new person today. Whew! I knew motherhood would be hard at times but not this hard. Someone should warn you that sick babies are really difficult. I am just glad our little Addy is feeling better oh and dad is feeling better too. And mom is awesome!

Happy Anniversary

Happy 3rd Anniversary to my wonderful husband Shane. We've had ups and downs. Lows and highs. Good times and bad times. Through it all we have stuck together and I am happy that we have. I still think marrying you was the best decision I ever made. I love you!

Did I tell you that we got a puppy??

Yes we sure did! I know we're crazy! But I am crazy in love with her. Her name is Sally and she is crazy and cute all at the same time. Love love love puppies! She is a black lab and we got her on April 14th. Everyone meet Sally!

Me and Meg....Meg and me

My friend Becky emailed me this picture yesterday. It is a picture of my good friend Meg and I. I miss her dearly and I was so happy to see this picture. Here we are at Becky and Justin's wedding last year. Aren't we cute???





And guess what?? It is Shane's birthday this weekend and we are having a party and I get to see this wonderful lady. Excited!!

Update on Leonard and Easter

So I convinced Shane into giving Leonard a second chance. All is going well so far. But now poor Leonard looks like an Avatar....I don't know what happened to him but his forehead and his nose are swollen and seriously....AVATAR! As of this morning the swelling started to go down but it was so weird while it lasted. I tried taking a picture of how weird he looked but you really couldn't tell in the picture.

We had a good Easter. Poor little Addy was sick all weekend but she still had fun. Luke got everything he wanted I think so that is good. We had a little Easter egg hunt for the kids at our house and it was so fun watching them find the eggs. Addy was content with just an egg for each hand so Luke scored big on the hunt. After we took Luke to his mom's house we went home and I made frosting for my awesome carrot cake I made and then it was on to my parent's house. We some yummy ham and had a nice time.....oh and everyone loved my cake!!

I hope everyone had a good Easter weekend!!
