Spooky Dinner!

noreply@blogger.com (Amy @ OurScoop) — Thu, 05 Sep 2013 20:34:00 +0000

October 2012

I've been so excited for my kids to get old enough to host a Spooky Dinner for their friends. I've done a few before for family and such but this was Cole's first Halloween party. Thanks again to Connie, aka c-dogg for teaching me so many fun traditions!

I found these cute invites at Target, of coarse.

Two of his friends couldn't make it. I felt a smaller group would work best for this age. So much energy! :) The invite suggested to wear a costume.

We jazzed up the dining room a bit. Cute-spooky.

I hung fabric in the doorway to hide the kitchen from sneaky 4th graders.

I seem to have a lot of Halloween fabric on hand. Good to put it to use.

Cole so badly wanted to do a mad scientist thing for his friends.

So we set up this table for them to feel eyeballs, brain, guts, fingers etc...

I just put fabric over plastic cauldrons and pumpkins and cut a slit on top.

They had fun with it.

Each kid had a menu at their seat once they sat down which explains how we do the dinner.

We served:

Spaghetti - Guts

Meat Balls - Blood and Eyeballs

Ghost Pimple - Parmesan

Witch Fingers - bread sticks

Wart Twins - Corn

Stink Bombs - Olives

Dirt - Brownies

LapOver - Napkin

Spikes - Fork

Digger - Spoon

Spider Spit - Sprite with a plastic spider glued to the bottom of cup.

Festive!

Once the kids filled out their menu, Kevin and I dished up their plates according to their order.

Coarse by coarse.

It was SO funny to watch these kids eating like this. Some without utensils, plain noodles without their meatballs. Everyone had to clear their plate before we moved on to the next coarse.

Good times I tell ya!

Afterward, we played a few magic/brainteaser games and then went to a neighborhood haunted house up the street. It was such a fun night that I can't wait to do it again!!

As a take home, I made some yummy caramel popcorn and stuffed it in these bags that I got at the party store.

This party was so fun for this age! And it was quite easy to throw together. The menu was simple. I hope I can get a few more years out of it. I love Traditions!

October 2012

It's always so fun to welcome fall! Fall colors, fall weather, crunchy leaves, cooler weather, pumpkins and Halloween festivities. I love this time of year!

The kids had the day off of school so we went to Gardner village to see the fall display of witches and pumpkins.

Frankie just got his cast removed. Hooray!

My brothers' kids were visiting from California while they were away for an anniversary trip. So we had all the cousins with us!

So fun!

Nana and Papa with their 10 grand kids.

They moved out to Saratoga Springs to downsize.

Many wonderful memories at this home!

We had a fun morning at the patch with our cousins. Collecting fun pumpkins for our porch and flower beds.

SO many to choose from!

We love when our school has the fun run! It's such a fun activity and fundraiser!

The kids wanted to write the name of their highest donation on their arm while they ran.

Kevin's buddy Ben, is always a great supporter. :)

Sadie and Ruby.

September 2012

One Sunday afternoon, we decided to take a family drive to see all the beautiful fall colors in the mountains.

I think we missed all the bright reds and oranges by a week.

It was still beautiful!

Shoulder rides!

Sadie wanted a try. Not sure she'll get very far with her eyes covered.

Kevin insisted for me to get on his shoulders. I hate being carried!! But I caved to peer pressure! The kids BEGGED for me to try. Ugh!

A photo I'm not interested in posting that photo. :)

Love my boys!

Love my girls!

Frankie Surgery

September 2012

We survived another 6 weeks pre-surgery healthy! Frankie getting his second and final phase of his hand surgery. We love Shriners hospital!

Waiting for our turn.

Waving Hi and Bye to everyone on the wagon ride.

He loved it!

Final moments of his cute little hand. His pinkie was separated a year(!) ago. It looks great!

Waking up. So hard.

They first put a plaster cast on him which I was not happy about!! He unwrapped that by the next day because they casted his arm but just put gauze around his fingers.

I was so bothered but I complained until I got my way. I went back in and they put on a tape cast like they had done the first time.

Hooray! MUCH better!

Peek-A-Boo!

Love my tiny little 2 year old!

He's a rock star!

Bear Lake Labor Day

noreply@blogger.com (Amy @ OurScoop) — Wed, 04 Sep 2013 21:41:00 +0000

September 2012

Labor Day weekend started out by arriving to Bear Lake on Kevin's birthday.

After we pulled in and quickly set up, we had a little birthday celebration.

With home made cupcakes brought from home per Kevin's request. :)

I made everything that morning, threw his favorite frosting in a ziploc and swirled it on top of the cupcakes once we were ready to eat them. Easy and yum!!

Happy Birthday Kevin!

I love my cozy camper at night.

Exploring camp.

Unfortunately our first day was a wet one.

But we still managed to have fun!

Frankie loved the outdoors.

And was perfectly content hanging out in the porta crib.

Thankful that he's not walking yet!

He was entertained by his cousins and siblings.

The back of the boat made a perfect stage.

These two love to explore!

The floaties are always a bit hit!

Boating. The water is just so blue!

A turn at driving with Aunt Emily.

A really fun weekend at Bear Lake with cousins! I'm glad the weather turned out to be warm!

This was certainly a busy vacation summer for us! Not the norm, but it was so fun to use the camper a lot. I love that thing!!

Mirror Lake

Just before school started, we took a quick trip up to the beautiful Mirror Lake. We went with our friends the Gardners. This was my first time there. Wow is it beautiful!

It's always bittersweet having to send the kids back to school.

We sure had a fun summer together!

Second grade for Sadie.

Fourth grade fourth grade for Cole.

Oh MaryJane can't wait for her turn.

Our cousins just moved back after being away for 5 years for residency. We have been so excited to have them move back! Scott is Cole's same age and lucked out by being in the same class. We'll see how it goes! These boys are inseparable! So happy for Cole to have a buddy, especially a cousin buddy.

August 2012

We love the beach! We went with Kevin's family and had a lot of fun!

We are lucky that Grandma Stormy has a time share and treated us all to this fun vacation.

Hours of fun playing in the sand.

My brother lives in California and his family was able to meet up with us for a beach day.

Kevin giving boogie board rides to the kids.

Frankie loved it and begged for more.

He loved his toes getting wet in the waves.

While Scott was reaching for a crab, that big white wave came up over the top of him. I was so worried that it took him down but he held on tight. Phew!

The Corvette Diner is a fun family restaurant. The waitresses put straws in the girls hair.

Train ride at the zoo.

Love these two!

I wish I had a picture of Cole and his friend Kaylee he met at the condos clubhouse. She's 9 yrs old and he crushed on her big time. It was so innocent and cute. I about died when we got a knock on our door and there she was asking for Cole. HELLO flash forward a few years! Is he 16? Not quite. He's 9. :) I don't think they even talked all that much. But he sure wanted to impress her. He'd comb his hair after swimming and get dressed to go hang out at the clubhouse.

When it was time to say goodbye she handed him a paper with her phone number on it and they waved to each other. LOL!! He must have looked at her number 100 times all the way home and would analyze his plans with us to call her. He was so bummed and asked us if we thought he'd ever see her again. Ha!

The summer romance faded a few days after we got home. He got up the nerve to call her once. He would not stop asking me if he could. I was hoping he'd forget about it. ;) But calling her was actually a good thing. It was a really short conversation and I think neither of them knew what to say to each other. From that point on, he never asked to call her again.

Oh Cole, I'm afraid you are going to get girl crazy many times in your life.

And I am SO not ready for that to happen anytime soon. Enjoy being 9 and save that girl stuff for college. :)

July 2012

This has been a busy month! After my birthday weekend, we came home and moved. We moved into our friends rental home temporarily while we look for a home to buy.

Frankie was quite the busy body while I was busy packing and unpacking.

Why does every toddler of mine hunt down my purse to empty out the entire contents of my wallet?

Miss fashionista

Looks like I need to baby proof the cabinets in the new home.

Found Frankie wearing my swimsuit skirt while I was vacuuming my car.

Watching his siblings dance to the radio and loving it.

Moved in. Hanging out on the porch with friends.

One of the few pictures I have of Cole at a swim meet. This summer Cole has been on swim team and we have loved it! It is such a great summer routine. He really enjoys it and never complains to go. Meets are really exciting to watch. Its fun to watch Kevin coach him a bit. Kevin grew up on swim team and swam through high school. Something he loves as well.

Birthday Weekend at Pineview

July 2012

For my 34th birthday I wanted to try camping near a swimming lake.

Fish lake is way to cold to swim in.

We had a great time!

I was is such a happy mood spending quality time with my family and enjoying my cute camper.

The kids loved playing in the sand.

Frankie explored eating it.

Kevin helped the kids create a scavenger hunt for me to find my gifts, which the kids just loved!

Ice cream and cupcakes to celebrate.

Not bad taken by a 8 yr old.

A perfect way to celebrate! I love my family!

My Camper: A New Paint Job

noreply@blogger.com (Amy @ OurScoop) — Wed, 05 Dec 2012 04:53:00 +0000

June 2012

That's right! This summer we painted the exterior of my camper. My dad and I were super egar to paint it. I'm so lucky that he's into fixing this up with me. He did all the hard work! We had our annual family trip coming up and we wanted to have it done beforehand.

Remember the before? This is how we found it and bought it.

It was a very hot summer day. Kevin was out of town for work so me and the kids spent the night at my parents so we could get up early and get going. Thanks to my mom for watching the kids all day!

Here we are prepping. Sanding, cleaning and spraying primer to parts of raw aluminum so paint would adhere to it.

Theres a little somethin' on your face Dad.

Workn' hard.

My dad did a little investigating around town to see what the best way to paint the trailer was. We read a bunch of different way people did it online. We decided to go with auto body paint for durability.

While at the paint shop asking questions, he found a guy that owns an auto body shop and paint booth and said that we could rent it for a day for $100!

There's no way we could have done it ourselves without this booth! The paint was around $350.

So total with supplies, paint and booth rental, it cost $500 to paint.

The cheapest I got quoted by a professional was $1800!

Also, there was a guy who works at the auto body shop named James that held our hand every step of the way. We've never done this type of thing and having his help was so valuable!

It was a LONG 12 hour day. We could have even spent more time in fixing dents and body work on the trailer but we didn't have any more time or money.

With the help of James and my Dad, we wiped off the dust (outside) and taped it up in the booth.

First coat of paint.

A little sneak peak of the color.

Wow! That's bright! I wanted a vintage blue and matched it to a kitchen bowl I had. I'm happy with it but wonder if I could have spent more time finding a color.

Testing out the spray gun. Auto body paint is much different than regular house paint. It's thinner and watery but very concentrated with color.

James helped my dad set the gun up and showed him the ways of painting with auto body paint.

I had to wait outside during the painting process because they only and two masks. One for my Dad and James wore the other. Seriously, James was there every step of the way! All 12 hours and didn't get paid. Remember, he was a worker not the owner who received the $100!

I got to peak in between coats and be the food runner to feed everybody. I screamed with excitement between each new coat of paint. I think I scared James with all my excitement.

My poor dad never stopped! I kept trying to feed him to keep him fueled.

I later sent back yummy Brownies to James at the shop because we really got a professional paint job for only $100. Yes, my Dad did all the hard work but we learned so much that day thanks to James!

Now for the reveal:

Remember the before?

Yuck.

After. Ahh! Much better! And so cheery with my new awning!

All set up on our trip at Fish Lake.

We got those aluminum hubs for the tires.

I love, love, love it!

Remember the interior?

Before...

After.

Complete with new floors and a new foam pad up top for little sleepers.

Before...

After.

A new coat of paint on the fridge and a cover for the stove.

Treats for visitors.

All that's left is new counter tops and back splash.

But that will have to wait til next year.

The sentimental value of this camper keeps adding up. With all that my Dad and I have put in it together, and the fun memories my family has had in it, I don't know how I could ever part with it!

An addition to the family.

Last day of school!

3rd and 1st grade.

She sure loves her big brother.

Sadie's teacher passed out a Zions bank drawing contest and for days she would work on this after school. I didn't really entertain it thinking she'd lose interest. But she worked hard on it and begged me to take her to the bank to submit it.

Camping with Cole and MaryJane. Eating fondue.

Well 30 days later, we got a phone call saying that her drawing had won.

Out of 60 entries, 2 winners were picked.

Sadie won $25 and a Zions bank savings account!

Way to go Sadie!

Looks like MaryJane made a haul too. A pamphlet and 3 suckers!

And Happy Father's Day to a wonderful and much loved Daddy!

Frankie is Two!

Well good morning!

Happy Birthday! Yay for Two!

We love waking up to birthday decor!

It's an exciting day!

He must have known that is was his special day.

Too cute for words.

Frankie is one loved little boy.

He loves the swing and slide and can sign for them both.

One of his favorite songs, If Your Happy and You Know It.

"...and your face will surely show it" (pictured on right)

He also likes The Itsy Bitsy Spider.

He has SO many silly faces!

Blowing out the candles or blowing up his hair.

I think he likes cake.

Head to toe.

We love you Frankie!! We love EVERYTHING about you!

Memorial Day project!

This is my sad "before" pictures of my camper floors. I'm always so bad at remembering to take "before" photos. I'm just to darn anxious to get started!

The floors were yuck. Old linoleum pealing up in places and tacked down with metal strips on other places.

I got the VCT tile from Home Depot. A case of red and a case of white for $70 total.

With plenty to spare.

Measuring out the tile pattern.

Kevin cut the tiles and I glued them down.

Drying.

We did this project at my parents while my mom watched my kids.

Missing Frankie after working all day.

Love the transformation!

Replacing the floors changed the feel of the camper dramatically.

I LOVE them!

We couldn't wait to see it with the cushions in.

The School Bash must mean that it is almost summer.

The dunk tank is the hit every year.

Boy do we love Aunt Jill! We always look forward to her visits!

She is so nice to spoil my kids. That's what aunts are for!

She brought my girls these cute suits from Lands End.

And these ADORABLE dresses too!!

Perfect for twirling!

Aunt Jill is always so entertaining!

She decided that she'd like to pack up MaryJane in her carry-on bag and take her home.

It was also Mother's day weekend. So grateful to be these kids mother!

I love that Jill got to be here with us!

We met up with cousins for lunch one day at City Creek.

After which, we took Sadie to get her ears pierced. We thought we'd wait for Aunt Jill to visit so she could come.

Nervous excited!

Nana and Frankie were there too. He sure loves his Nana!

Excitement just before.

And after. Not a tear! That a girl!

Love her!

This one on the other hand...

was sitting in Frankie's stroller in tears. Beside herself that she couldn't have hers done too.

Thankfully we were in Claire's and bribed her happy with a little necklace.

She'll have to wait til 7 too.

It was a special day for Sadie!

As usual, we had lots of fun when Jill came and I was terrible at taking more photos.

Can't wait until we can see her again!

Cole is 9!

Rise and shine for presents.

All Cole wanted was Skylanders!

He had a special day.

I checked him out of school and took him to his choice for lunch.

KFC. We never eat there but it's one of his favs. :)

We had a little family party in the evening.

Grandma got him water guns which ended up in a fun birthday water fight.

Who needs guns when you've got a hose?

Since we were so busy with selling the house, we took Cole and a few friends to Fat Cats for bowling, glow-in-the-dark mini golf and arcade games.

Nalu, Tommy, Cole, Peter and Jonny.

The girls were happy to fill-in for the boys who couldn't make it.

Cole, we love you! You add so much life to our family!

April 2012

We lived here for 10 years!

Our first home. Where we began our marriage and our family. This place will always hold so many wonderful memories! It's hard to believe that at one point, the little front yard had no grass, lots of bark and rocks and 11 trees. You could barley see the home.

As much as I'm ready to move on to the next chapter in our home living, I'll miss the life we lived here. There is nothing like those precious memories of bringing each of our children home from the hospital here. And growing with each one of them in many different ways.

Yes I love change, but at the same time I'm sentimental too. So leaving here was a little hard.

We planned to sell our home first and rent our friends home down the street while we look to buy a little bit bigger home in the area. We feel so lucky and blessed that we have this option!

We de-cluttered, touch-up painted and staged our home to sell.

We got an offer in 3 days and closed 30 days later.

It went fast! I wanted to post these photos to have them here all in one spot for memories.

The floors look great!

Memories flood my mind of the activity of our life spent here as I look at each one of those pictures. I'm so glad I have them!

Easter 2012

noreply@blogger.com (Amy @ OurScoop) — Mon, 19 Nov 2012 16:38:00 +0000

April 2012

Our kids have to wait until church is over to do the Easter bunny stuff.

We have a little hunt in our backyard and meet up with extended family for dinner later.

Frankie had to be on oxygen while sleeping at home.

So cannula stickers are on his cheeks for the ease of applying the oxygen cannula (tubing) for sleep.

I did it again. Got a bee in my bonnet and sewed this skirt for Sadie the night before.

Being trapped in the hospital really did something to me. MaryJane is wearing the dress I sewed for Sadie for Easter in 2009. I had this fabric in my stash and was pleased that it matched.

Family Easter Dinner at my Sister-In-Laws parents home:

My poor kids were awful for pictures! They had no patience for it that day.

Frankie feeling so big. Loved the thrill of riding down the driveway.

Cutest little playhouse cottage.

Grandpa, Nana and Cousins.

Grandma Stormy got to come too!

Poor MaryJane is just not cooperating here. :)

Frankie is always up for a smile!

So good to see his spirits back to normal.

Getting stronger! Learning to stand.

The kids waiting for the bug hunt.

I couldn't help myself. After seeing Sound of Music so much lately I made them lean opposite and sing

"Coo Coo."

I love photos of my kids hunting for eggs wearing their Easter clothes!

A hospital trip for Frankie

noreply@blogger.com (Amy @ OurScoop) — Wed, 26 Sep 2012 06:08:00 +0000

April 2012

For Spring Break we didn't go anywhere. We were planning on staying here and finding fun around Salt Lake. I had lazor focus on my projects to get our house ready to sell.

Frankie had a cold but he was happy. It is common for kids with Down syndrome to drop in oxygen levels when they get a cold. They can act fine but at the same time not get enough oxygen. I have a pulse oximeter at home to test him for low oxygen when he has a cold. With this cold, his oxygen levels were normal.

On the first day of the break, Frankie was eating a pre dinner snack in his high chair. Little bits of crackers and small pieces of string cheese. While he was eating, he started coughing/ choking on food. I examined him and he seemed to be struggling to breath a little. I patted his back firmly but couldn't figure out what happened. He was breathing, no food in his mouth at this point and his lips were turning blue. His tummy seemed to be working hard to contract and to breathe. He started acting lethargic. I tested his O2 levels and they'd jump all over the place. He should always be 90 or above. Well he was at 87, 90, 84, 79.

Kevin just arrived home from work as I had just hung up with the ENT doc who told me to take him in now. We live so close to the hospital that we figured it would be six's to call 911 or drive there. I was in a dead panic by now. It was not to long ago that we had called 911 from my Dad's emergency situation and My E.R visit for my allergic reaction (don't think I blogged about that one). To much trauma!!

The kids all climbed the car barefoot as Kevin sped us to the hospital.

I sat in the back with Frankie on my lap. Arms dangling, loosing color, blue lips, head bobbing and about to pass out. I was shaking him to stay with me.

When we got to the hospital I ran inside with him bobbing on my hip hoping he would not pass out.

His oxygen was 74 on arrival.

The doctors were unsure what had happened. They sedated him and scoped him to see if he had food in his lungs but it was clear. He was admitted for two nights. Which in hospital time felt like 10 nights.

I had all these fun plans of things to do with the kids on spring break but I got robbed and had to spend their days off school, stuck in the hospital.

It was the worst!

He had a hard time recovering from the scope since he had a cold.

The test results came back positive for Rhino virus.

The common cold.

Here is Frankie singing,

"If your happy and you know it.... face will surely show it."

The only explanation as to why Frankie went blue at home and struggled to breath was that maybe he choked on the string cheese, threw up stomach fluids and then aspirated the stomach fluids into his lungs.

It wiped him out.

His oxygen kept dropping while he slept so they wanted to keep him there. But I kept assuring them that it was because he had a cold.

Frankie hated anyone who came near him with a stethoscope.

We got so sick of the cords and things. It was hard to keep Frankie entertained!

A visit from the kids was just what we needed.

We finally got sent home with oxygen for Frankie to wear while he sleeps and an order for a sleep study.

Frankie aspirated again a month later at home eating... small bits of string cheese.

Thankfully Kevin was home and we had a Decadron pill ( a bronchodilator) from Frankie's croup days.

Frankie's oxygen began to drop but after we gave him the pill, his oxygen came back up, he was fine and we've avoid the hospital on that second one.

So Frankie, who has lots of teeth and 4 molars is restricted from eating string cheese. He shovels it and swallows it and since it doesn't dissolve, he chokes.

All of this = not fun.

*****

Sleep study day.

It is common for kids with Down syndrome to have sleep apnea. And due to his low oxygen levels (while sleeping) at the hospital, a sleep study could help us determine if he has sleep apnea or not.

He was pretty good at allowing them to put on all the probes. Towards the end, he just layed back in my arms all still with this stuff hooked up to him and looked at me like, k-you've got me!

He had to sleep like this !

I slept in the Murphy bed next to his crib.

We were woken up at 6 am and he got all that stuff taken off of him.

Boy was he happy about that!

The sleep results are lengthy to report but the bottom line, no oxygen is needed while he sleeps.

Yay!!

A lot of info. But it's scenarios like this that help us fine tune Frankie's needs.
