Catching up

Okay so I am so far behind on my updates, Zeke and I have been so busy with so many different events so I am trying to put most of it on here. I am starting with one of the latest events. We are starting with his first T-Ball game. He is on the team called the Giants!

Zeke's first T-Ball game. Here he is playing 3rd base, bored!

Third base again (I think)

Zeke learning to ride his bike without training wheels

Here he is doing good!

Mark, at our first practice game!

Zeke learning how to throw better. Looks like he's a natural!

He is learning how to catch the ball from the grounder. It was so much fun watching him learn all of this more and more!

The first meeting of the team

So much rain! Rain Rain go away! Love the moisture, but I need it to stop!

Okay so this brid we found in our driveway, drowning in a puddle and not flying. So of course I had to try to rescue it, and we all had dun holding it.

Zeke loving it, he made it the cutest picture thinking that it would help it, too bad when we woke up in the morning it had died.

So this is our first camping trip to my Dad's Steak camp property. This was definitely camping. We had problems with the water, RAIN! Let's say Rain, Rain Rain. But Zeke had so much fun. He became a Smore junky! We had smores the night before, the next day at least two or three times. It reminded me of Christmas morning with him. HE was the best! He reminded me of all of the fun I had as a kid camping and all of the fun I want to have with Zeke now he is at this age.

Ty and Zeke in our Tent! Ty loved this tent! He had so much fun also!

Zeke eating his first smore, like I said earlier he got addicted fast!

I have to admit, It's well worth all of the life decisions / challenges when you just sit back and watch your child smile over the simplest things in life.

Thanks Zeke for making me so happy and blessed!

Easter April 2009

So this Easter we were busy I felt. This picture below we were at my parent's house to celebrate four Birthdays and Easter together. We were trying to get a picture with her grand kids in and of course there is always the few who don't want to participate. I also decided that my camera sucks. I am so sick of it. I think that it would be good if it wasn't being used by me. SO out of all the pictures we took - this one turned out ok. I did take other pictures of the kids down by the fireplace in my parents home, but I still should have had Aubrey come and take the kids' picture.

Zeke and His Cousin Aleyah - they were making hollow rolls to represent the tomb from where Jesus was resurrected

Zeke and Aleyah at my Uncle Dave's house for the Annual Lubbers Easter Egg hunt!

Friday we decided to Color Easter Eggs and it was a lot of fun. I think that Zeke enjoyed it better this year than ever before. He was more willing to color and decorate. It was so much fun this year with a small group and they had lots of eggs to color.

Thanks to Jacquie, Noah, Nathan and my Mom for all there help in coloring Easter eggs. It was a blast and a lot more smoother this year than past years!!!

Happy Birthday Zeke

HAPPY BIRTHDAY MY SWEET BABY BOY!!!

So last Saturday the 28th day of March Zeke turned 5! I can not believe that my baby boy is 5 years old. We had a small party at Nickel Mania with family and a few kids from his school! It was so much fun. He had a Super Hero party and I watched my own super hero kid have a great day! I am so thankful for his friends and Family that came. I love my boy and all his great imagination. He keeps me going and makes me smile everyday! Thanks Zeke for being so wonderful and for coming here to me and your Dad. We love you and want the best for you!

Bye Koda!

So last Monday, (the 30th of March) we said our good bye's to our sweet Koda! He got really sick and we had to let him go to heaven. He was pretty sick for the whole month of March and we found out that he had a liver disease. It was just too much for us at this time. Plus the doctors told us that if we did surgery, it might not even work. So we had to make a hard decision. I was one sad Momma and couldn't bring my self to blog about it. He had a very short life and he was loved by us! We will so miss him, and we do miss him. I am glad that I don't have to potty train anymore, but I miss my sweet snuggler. Run and be happy now Koda!!!

Update on Zeke

So today I took him to his Pediatrician and they ran another flu swab in his poor little nose. Not to be happy for some answers, for his pain. But I felt relief, finally. He has Influenza A+. So he is pretty sick, although you wouldn't know it today. Finally he is a little happier, but thank heaven for his Doctor. I have finally decided that if there was anything wrong with my child will either wait until we can get to his doctor or it will be an immediate run to Primary Children's Hospital. Those other doctors with Insta Care or any other ER, forget it . Idiots!!! I was so frustrated leaving Saturday night. The only comfort that I had was that his symptoms weren't life threatening. (Well I hoped) I feel like even though we are quarantined for a dew days, it will all end and everything will get better! Thanks for all of you love and kind words of Support!

My poor sweet child

I know I am so mean - taking pictures of him while he is sick in the hospital! This was before they put the fluid in - they started the pick line and then drew blood then of course started the medicine later with the fluids. He was so sad! My heart just ached for him! I was so scary!

Begging to go home! Okay so last night we had a scare that a mother should not have. Zeke woke up from a nap with a fever of 106. I was so scared, so we rushed him to St. Mark's hospital (1st mistake) than luckily his fever was down a few degrees when we got there. It had dropped to 103.5. I had cool air on him in the car. So they gave him some Tylenol and Motrin and his fever only came down to 102.3, but at least it came down. So then Mark and I said we just paid $75 for them to give him Tylenol and Motrin. Well eventually, they came in and finally ran some tests and couldn't fine anything. HE was so mad, because they gave him an IV and he DID NOT like the shot of all that going into his poor sweet little arm. I was trying to bribe him, take his mind off of it. It was so hard. But finally literally we were there for 5 hours, but the ER doctor had to call the pediatrician's office and of course had to talk to the on call doctor, which he is the one who finally gave her instructions on what to do. (Another RED flag - when the ER doctor has to call someone else to find out what to do...Run) Anyway so at the end of the night poor sweet Zeke had enough and was so tired. One of the good things they did was give him fluids (that's what took the fever down to 99.9) and give him an antibiotic. So today we have been watching him like crazy and praying for him to do better. HE still has a high fever and now is in bed sleeping, but it's so hard to watch him be so sick and not know what to do. I am so thankful though for all of the love and support we have felt today (Sunday) from all of our sweet friends in the Ward. Thank you! Tomorrow we go see his pediatrician. Yeah!!! Hopefully for them to help us. I am really just grateful that it wasn't worse.

WE LOVE YOU ZEKE AND HOPE YOU GET FEELING BETTER SOON!

Update coming soon!

Some day here soon I will update my blog! So don't give up on me! Thanks!!!

Introducing Koda!!!

This is such a sweet face! How could we walk away from him!!!!

Okay so Mark finally let us get a dog. I had to use some sweet tactics to get him to go along with it. I actually didn't think that we would get a dog, so I had no hope. Lo and behold he suprised me all together! So Koda is 9 almost 10 week old and is technically called a Shorkie because he's 3/4 Yorkie and 1/4 Shitzu. We love him and are so glad that Mark said Yes!!!! Potty traning sucks though, but so far not so bad! We got him this past Saturday night late, so it has been a challenge for us to adapt! Zeke loves to play with him, it is so much fun to watch. So welcome Koda to our family!

Thank you Mom and Dad

So tonight I thought I would invite my parents over for dinner, because my sweet Mom has been making clothes for Zeke's little baby "U". So I wanted to thank her little did I know I was going to make everything worse. I bought Lasagna and I thought it would need to cook for an hour, well like two hours! So than I ordered Chinese food and as I was backing out of my car I hit there car. ( I bet they are re-thinking coming over here for dinner) It's a Saturn Vue so it crumbled up! Lights out, smashed in the middle, plastic everywhere ( and it looks like nothing on my car). Feeling horrible I told them that they needed to take my care home (for safety). Than I was late getting the food, because I forgot where I was going. Drove an extra 5 - 10 miles because I am such a space cadet. So sorry Mom and Dad on your car and Thanks for making my son so happy by making him clothes for his baby! Love you! So if anyone wants some Lasagna I have a lot!

Imagination

Okay so I am really tired, but I just wanted to do a quick post and say that Zeke has been crackin us up lately. He has this little Cars tent and he loves it, so lately he has been sleeping in it every night. All night, and I keep thinkin this is driving me crazy and I wish that he would sleep in his room. He is on this kick lately that he is married and has babies. I think it's funny because ever since he started this he will sleep in his own bed all night. After he did it for 5 days in a row (like 2 weeks ago) Mark bought him a new toy. So it has been great! But now he has his own house, (the tent) kids, wife, a family he calls it home. He is the Dad in our household. It's hilarious. I really sometimes have to be careful not to laugh too hard so it won't hurt his feelings. I feel right now whatever makes him happy and feel like he can finally sleep without Mom and Dad I am all over it. We have had this problem with him wanting us all the time, that it's kinda nice to have my side of the bed back! I have to say what a great imagination! HE keeps me on my toes all the time! I love you Zeke! What a great boy you are!!!

Ute Fan Arama

So this last weekend was the Ute Parade for the Football team. In case any of you are not aware they were undefeated so 13-0 games! Way to go Utes!!! Anyway so my Brother Rob and my sweet nephews came from Vernal and all of us that are here in town went to the Ute Parade on Friday and then again we went to the Ute Basketball game on Saturday. While during halftime they recognized the football team again! By the way the Ute Basketball team won their game against Colorado State. It's been a crazy weekend, but a lot of fun. So here at my house has been Ute mania in all that can find to wear and with the whole family. Out of my family we were only missing by Brother John and his family that live in Washington. I have to admit that it was a good time with everyone! I am glad that we all got together to it. So THANKS to my Family for such a wonderful time! Especially to my husband who supported and was a great support for all the activities! So here are some pictures of our two day events! We had a great time!

So this is Zeke and Tevia! Parents, Traylor Ben, Kristi and Ty at the Parade My sweet Mom and Dad Of course Zeke and Tevia again! Good buddies!

Zeke getting a little tired at the rally after, so Grandpa put him on his shoulders.

This is Ty he was going to sleep on his Dad's shoulders. The face is so dang cute I couldn't but take a picture!

The football team, I keep wishing they would turn around!

I tried to get this one zoomed in, but they weren't facing us enough to get it. So I used the next best thing the jumbo tron (however you spell that) This is Tray, too bad he was covering his face. He wanted his picture taken.

My little cotton candy boy! I had a picture where he had it all over him, but it didn't turn out dang it. It was so cute but these two pictures are cute of him and his sticky fingers and face!

I know a lot of pictures, but thanks for viewing!
