The scare for this week...

So on Tuesday last week I was in the kitchen making cookies for my visiting teaching ladies and Dustin had just left for work, Orion was playing around as usual and all was well... all of the sudden he started to cry so hurried to see what the matter was and found him with a wood stain can opened and all over him and the floor. This was a little tiny 8 oz can of black ebony stain, he had found it and opened it (if anyone has used stain recently you know how hard those cans are to open) I normally have to use a screwdriver to open it. Anyway, it was all over the lower half of his body, luckily I caught him just as he was pouring it... but he cried because of the black color that was all over new mickey pjs. It was nuts, this stuff is oil base and spreads like wildfire, so I ran him up to the bath (where it just got all over our tub and repelled the water) and started to scrub him down... I was worried about what it would do to his skin so I called poison control and they said it was fine as long as I could get it off his skin for the most part. I finally thought to use dish soap and that did the trick but he was pretty upset that the black wouldn't come off while I was cleaning him off - he kept trying to scratch it off. It was so sad. After he was taken care of I went to start cleaning up the kitchen floor, luckily we haven't replaced this flooring just yet so it is still a little black but it doesn't matter too much.

Here he is sitting recouping on the couch after his bath, watching the Doodlebops and resting.

Here are his little cute black feet across our kitchen floor lol... I should have had him step on a piece of paper or something lol.
here is a fuzzy pic again of his feet to the upper rt hand side is where I had a pool of black stain I cleaned it up before I took this. Ha crazy crazy

Decorating the tree...

I know its been a while since I have written anything we just got back into town last sunday and we have been trying to catch up and get ready for Christmas. It has been a really hectic and crazy week. We really wanted to get our tree up this week, with the snow and how close it is to Christmas we really needed the tree to complete the Christmas setting. Orion was totally into the tree this year, he was helpin Daddy set it up and put the lights on. Right after we got it up and the lights on he would just sit and look at it with the dog. It was pretty cute but it didnt last long, now he has decided it much more fun to play with the lights and pull on the tree. ugh.

Here he is helping Daddy with the lights.
this is when we first got it in and up.

The Next Tiger...

I think we have the next Tiger on our hands lol I could not drag him away from the putting green and golf balls :)

He had so much fun playing for hours outside in the sun.

We so loved spending time in St. George with Gammy Grandpa and all the fam! We had such a good time golfing and Orion LOVED their backyard where he could play all he wanted in 60 degree weather... ahh... sunshine.

Thank you for all you do Gammy and Grandpa we love you and miss you.

cute pics...

Disney Land ...

We had the best time at Disney land last weekend! Orion did so well throughout all the traveling, he is getting pretty used to it now I think. He also had a really good time at Disneyland. We were worried that he would be too young but he had fun, his favorite ride was the Astro Blaster Buzz Lightyear ride and Peter pan.

It took a few days for Ori to get used to seeing the characters walking around Disneyland, but by the end of our trip he was pretty interested, here is a moment when he decided he actually wanted to go up to Goofy (a big step for him) and it was so cute because Goofy is like 8 ft tall and he looked so cute just watching Goofy interact with the other children.
In Future land there is this ball that all the kids like to spin and play with - water runs down and they have fun playing in it.

Happy Halloween!

YAY I finally got another computer so now I can continue blogging. So, poor Dustin had a show on Halloween but Orion and I went out trick-or-treating together, while uncle steve hung out and handed out candy. We weren't gone long but it was fun to go - Ori didn't really understand what was going on lol but we had a good time visiting our friends.

Fun Dinner at Chili's...

We had a fun dinner at chili's a little while ago and I just found this picture to put on here, I thought it was a cute one, so here it is.

Who needs a gallbladder anyway?

So we had a crazy turn of events on Sunday in the wee hours of the night. Steve woke me and Dustin up complaining about a terrible stomach ache. He said he needed to go to the emergency room (totally not like steve to WANT to go to the Doctor, normally he only goes kicking and screaming) so we rushed him in to the E.R. The Doctor looked him over ran some tests and decided to hook him up to an IV with morphine. They kept him there all night then early Monday morning did an ultra sound where they discovered gal stones his blood tests showed a high white count (indicating infection). Then they rushed him into the OR to have his gallbladder removed - it was crazy how fast everything happened. He was in surgery by 11:50 that morning... finally he came out of surgery around 2:40 and then they put him in post op for an hour or so, then he went up to a room to recover a little longer and go through a round of antibiotics. He stayed and slept almost all day yesterday due to all the drugs in his system, then today he was feeling a little better. He was actually able to get up and walk around a little, I was so relieved. Now thankfully he is still in the hospital but I think he will be released tomorrow to come home and rest some more. Poor kid, crazy few days.

Hotel Safe

So I forgot to throw on a few videos and pictures of Orion playing in the hotel when we went on our anniversary stay to the Hilton. He found the hotel safe inside the closet and had the best time pushing the buttons. Goofball. Its so fun and amazing to watch his mind work.

Bath Time Fun

Well its time to catch up again. My computer actually bit the dust this week - so I have a new harddrive on the way and we have a few other computers but they are desktop's and in a whole other area of the house... where I am too lazy to go and update stuff lol. Anyway, here is a quick video of Ori playin in the bath.

Two sickies

We are the two sickies ... me and Orion have this awful cold this week! It has been pretty yucky. He is handling it pretty well though, I must say he is much easier to take care of when he has a cold now that he is older (it is easier to take care of myself too). So because of this we have had a busy week and I have had little time to update the blog, so I thought I would just post a little note about this week. Orion has learned to tell himself "no". We have a fire place in out family room and I have to remind him not to play with it fairly often. Most of the time he is pretty good about obeying, so last week he went over to the fire place and reached his hand out and then turned and put his index finger up, scowled and said "no"! Micki and I were on the couch talking and we both just started laughing, it was SO cute!

Happy Wedding Day!!

To my sweet and wonderful husband. It is our second wedding anniversery today! It has been an amazing first few years. I love you and hope all your dreams are comming true! :) We go to go stay in the Hilton together (with Ori of course haha) and we had a great time! We got dessert at the Olive Garden there next to the Hilton and just relaxed. It was perfect! Here is a wedding highlight clip (thanks again Justin we love it)!

More catching up...

I missed the picture I was trying to get... Ori was using ender as his pillow, by the time I got there he had slipped off, but it was so dang cute! They are such good friends.

More Videos

We made it..

Orion had his year doctors apt last week and he did great! I have such a hard time taking him in for shots. He had to get one this trip which isnt bad comparatively - but it was still hard to take him in. He was walking all over the room and playing around - he was great. Micki and Steve went with us to take him in so that was nice to have them to support us.

Happy Birthday pictures

Here are a few more pictures from Orions party. It was such a wonderful night. These are a few pictures of him opening his presents. He was way excited, and kept getting distracted by each toy that he opened it was so cute.

This is his cake lol - it was so funny he was actually very careful while eating at first- he just cautiously took a few bites without being messy - then towards the end he was really diggin into it. It was really fun - he went strait to the bath while everyone else ate icecream - he had chocolate in his arm pits even ha.

Dustin's Surprise

A few weeks ago I set up a surprise guys night for Dustin - He has been working so hard lately and I wanted him to get a night of fun. So I made a Tivo cake for him and his friends. He had no clue I was setting it up. His friends were awesome and kept it quite then they drove down for a night of Xbox and Sushi. It was fun to surprise him :)

Happy Birthday Orion!!

It was Orions first birthday on the 16th!! Wow what a year. We had an amazing party for him yesterday and it was so much fun! Thank you all for coming and sharing this special day with us. We felt so loved.
I made a video and here it is but the quality was lost in the conversion - but you can still view it. Remember push play twice - its wierd I know.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY DUSTIN!!!

So today was my sweet husbands birthday! We spent the weekend in St. George with Gammy and Grandpa - Dustin came back on Sunday and me, Steve, Micki, and Orion came home today. We made in home just in time for Dustin to get home from work. Then Lisa was nice enough to watch Orion for the night so Dustin and I could spend some much needed time together. We went to a great Japanese restaurant near our house and had Sushi and yummy food. Then came home and relaxed all together. I hope you are happy and had a wonderful birthday honey. You are a wonderful husband and father. I love you and I am so thankful the Lord sent you to me ;)

Yucky cold..

Poor Ori has had a really bad cold this week. He has been so lethargic and cuddly. He normally is moving so fast you cant catch him - so this is rare. This is him resting on his best bud - Uncle Steve. He has had a horrible fever - but I think we are on the up and up. ;)
