Justin and his Train
Justin is getting really good at building train tracks. He loves to play train when we are putting the little boys to bed. He loves when the track goes over the mountain and through the tunnel.
Hunter's Hospital Stay with RSV
Hunter stayed in the hospital 3 days with RSV. Tyler otok him the the ER on Tuesday night. He was admitted and stayed from Wednesday morning to Friday morning. He was pretty sick. He has an IV for 3 days becuase he would not eat or drink anything and was very dehydrated. He was a strong little guy. It only took them an hour to get his original IV going. He endured all the poking and proding and the suctions quite well. Tyler was a good dad and stayed the nights with him. I stayed the nights at home with Justin and Fisher. They were both sick too. I think all 3 boys probably had RSV but Justin and Fisher didn't get bad enough to require any medical intervention. I don't like having sick kids. I am glad that we are all on the mend and feeling better.
You could really tell when he was starting to feel better.

Sickness at our house
All 3 kids have been sick. Justin first and then the twins followed suit. Just the general common cold...runny nose, watery eyes, cough, etc. After about 4 days of fever we decided to take the twins to the instacare. Fisher was diagnosed with restricted airway something or other and was ordered to have breathing treatments over the next several days. Hunter was diagnosed with pneumonia and given amoxocillin.
After 1 1/2 days Hunter still had a fever and was eating and drinking almost nothing. Tyler took Hunter to the ER early this morning and was admitted to the hospital. He was diagnosed with RSV. We were told that the pneumonia was a misdiagnosis. Hunter was pretty dehydrated and very sick. After one day in the hospital and being hydrated by IV he is looking better. His RSV is getting worse as his body is more hydrated and able to secrete more mucous. He is still not eating or drinking much of anything. Hopefully he will improve and we will see if he can come home from the hospital tomorrow or the next day.
I stayed with Hunter for most of today at the hospital. I missed Justin and Fisher. I learned that I am so thankful that I am able to stay home with my kids everyday. I am so blessed to be a stay-at-home-Mom. I am also so thankful for supportive family. Thanks to all who have helped us get through the past couple of days and weeks.
Justin and Fisher are hopefully on the mend and will get some good sleep tonight.
Sick kids are no fun. However, the lows are only temporary. The good outweighs the lows in so many ways.
By the way, before Hunter got super sick he was able to get from his bum to his belly and from his belly back to his bum! This is a HUGE milestone for him. We are hoping that this sickness does not set him back too much.

Mars and Mickey Mouse
Tonight I noticed Justin pulling at his underwear and kind of itching his bottom. I asked him if everything was ok. He said his bum was sore. So in a few minutes this is how our conversation went:
Mom: "Come on, lets go fix your bum."
Justin: "The sore went away. It went to Mars."
Mom: "Mars? Who taught you about Mars?"
Justin: "Mickey Mouse."
About 1 hour later I was trying to get him to go to bed and he said, "Mom, first I have to look out the window and find Mars."
I am glad that Mickey Mouse is teaching him something!
Hooray for cartoons, right?!

Justin @ 3 1/2
Justin is 3 1/2 years old! I can't believe he is growing up so fast. Justin weighs 40 pounds and is getting so tall. Justin goes to Preschool and loves every minute of it. Some of the things Justin loves right now are:
* Cartoons
* Fish crackers
* Preschool
* Going downstairs to play
* Playing train
* Teasing his brothers
* Chocolate milk
* Wrestling with Dad
* Mom putting him to bed
* Playing with "My friend, Wyatt."
* Going to Jason's house to play
* Going to Primary and being a Sunbeam
* Getting a drink during Sacrament Meeting all by himself.
* Going to Cub Scouts with Dad
Justin is talking in whole sentences. He thinks everything he eats is a vegetable. He loves his Grandpa Scott. Phases he says all the time: "My friend....", "Mom, watch me." "I not hungry." "I not ready to go to bed." "Mom, I'm coming." "I had a bath yesterday."
Justin loves to make forts in the TV room with Dad. This was the latest. That night his prayer went like this..."Father in Heaven, bless this day. Bless the toys not in the fort. Bless the fort will be there tomorrow. Bless us to sleep good. Amen"
An activity Justin really enjoys is painting rocks. He is so good at it and he will do this for hours!
Justin loves to go to Grandma Sing's and build houses with the Lincoln Logs. He does it up to the kitchen counter so that Fisher can't reach it. He sort of had a little help from Mom with this one.
Justin loves to eat breakfast watching cartoons. I let him because I feel so bad that the babies take so much of my attention in the morning.
Justin likes to snuggle on the couch every morning and watch cartoons. He likes to watch cartoons for about an hour before he eats breakfast. What a picky kid!
We love you Justo!

Fisher @ 16 Months
Fisher is a ball of fire. He weighs about 25 pounds. He has a mouth full of teeth with 8 teeth in front and 4 big molars in back. Fisher is so smily and loves anyone who will give him the time of day. Fisher is starting to say a few words. Some of the things he can say are: Da, diggity-dog, kitty, Justin, shoes, and stink. Some of the things Fisher loves are:
* Bath time and screams when I take him out
* His dinosaur
* The toilet
* Going outside
* Playing in Justin's room
* Playing with the bathtub in my room
* The dishwasher (he comes running from where ever he is when he hears the door going down and he is a fast little buggar.)
* Throwing stuff downstairs
* Getting on the couch
* Blankets and stuffed animals
Fisher is growing up so fast. He has the funnest little personality ever. He thinks he is as big as Justin and follows him around constantly. Fisher is the wiggliest kid ever especially when he is getting dressed.
Fisher never stops so when he does he falls asleep.
When Fisher gets in his car he likes his blanket and Mickey with him.
The beloved Dinosaur. The poor dino's tail is soaking wet from being sucked on constantly. This Dinosaur goes to bed with Fisher all the time.
Fisher likes to wrestle his Cars chair. Sitting in it got old I guess.
I am not sure who got in the dishwasher first. I came into the kitchen one day to this.
Fisher loves the pots and pans. We have finally figured a way to locks the cabinets so he cant get in them. This has been oh so wonderful for me.
Fisher will put this bucket on his head and walk around until he runs into the wall. He is our bucket-head.
Every time he goes to Ma Clark's he gets this recipe book out of the bookshelf and looks at it. It is the same red recipe book every time.
We love you Fish!

Hunter @ 16 months
Hunter is now 16 months old. He weighs about 19 1/2 pounds. He is all of a sudden a wiggle man. He is all over our house; well, anywhere he can get by rolling around. Some of the things that Hunter Loves right now:
* Mickey Mouse Clubhouse
* Wrestling Dad and Justin
* Kisses from Mom
* Bathtime and lotion
* Rocking back and forth in his highchair to try to scoot it across the kitchen
* The stroller
* Putting his feet in his mouth
* Pulling his socks off
* Diaper changes
Hunter has been working hard with his therapy. Right now he is mastering going from his bum to his belly. When he is on his tummy he lifts up his chest by straightening his arms and then tries to get his knees under him. With a little help with those knees he can maintain the 4-point position and do a little rocking back and forth. He is gaining strength everyday and is coming along well. He is getting better with 3rd foods and gags less each day. He is doing great with graham crackers and drinking out of a cup.
Hunter has a hard time falling alseep sometimes. Mom discovered that this is the magic hold. He usually calms down fairly quick when I hold him like this.
Hunter likes to be in his walker. It works the best in the kitchen on the slick floor where he can push himself backwards.
Hunter gets to swing with Brian when he goes to therapy. Swinging helps regulate balance.
Hunter is so happy to sit and play with toys. He will play with just about anything and is content for the longest time.
Hunter loves to sit in Fisher's car. He holds tight to the steering wheel and waits for someone to push him.
Hunter loves to play with Dad. In this picture, Tyler was rubbing his head on Hunter's tummy and Hunter was just a laughing.
Hunter is sitting so well and can reach for his own toys.
Here he is eating a biter biscut. He makes a mess everytime he eats by himself and usually requires a new outfit but I don't care because he can eat by himself.
We love you Hunter Bunter!
