We were getting ready to pull out of our parking spot at church and head home when Wesley saw his favorite friend, Kade out side of the van. Our windows are tinted black so Kade couldn't see who was pounding on the inside of the glass window. Wesley popped it open, which is only about an inch, and yells, "Kade! Kade! Kade! on Easter Jesus Dies!"
-
Sitting at the food court in the mall Wesley says to me, "They don't know how to spell 'corndog' so they put 'hot dog on a stick'."
-
At Taco Bell I gave them Wesley's name with our order. When our food was ready the guy announced, "Wheezly, your order is ready." Wesley couldn't stop giggling about it. Throughout the day he would giggle and then say quietly to himself, "wheezly, he he he"
-
Getting into the car after eating lunch at Taco Bell, Eden would not get in her car seat. I started counting. She then let out a frustrating, "UGH! Fine! You are all my fault!"
-
Eden told me she was sick and when I asked her what hurt she told me her lips.
-
She was sick one day and I made a little bed for her on the floor next to my bed. She laid there and watched her favorite show. Now she tells me she doesn't feel well about every day. The day she was sick, she was throwing up blood. The first time she threw up it was some blood clots and it really alarmed me. The second time there was more blood. Then more, just coming our her mouth and nose. It was quite a bit! I thought, "I really should take her to the ER." (it was early hours in the morning) but a calm feeling came to me and I felt it was blood coming from her sinus and not to worry. SO i put her back to bed and she slept for a long time after that. I did read some scary things online but never felt I should take her in. She rested through the day and was feeling better by night.
-
Eden regularly comes into my bed at night. I told her one night to stay in her bed (think I say that every night). She did all night and came into my room early in the morning. She walked right up to my face, close, and tapped me several times then whispered, "Can I get in your bed?" It was so funny to me. She has never asked before or since.

"Cupostrophe" A word Rylan made up.

I never wrote about the hamster saga. This was in the middle of November. Eden and Lailee (her best little friend in the world) were playing upstairs. I thought they were in Eden's room. I heard crying and went upstairs to check things out. The two little girls were in Aubryn's room. Lailee was crying. My first thought was that she fell off Aubryn's loft bed. Eden told me she grabbed the hamster and it bit her. I looked at her hand and she was bleeding from her pinky finger! I felt so bad!! I called her mom and thankfully she just laughed about it. A few days later I was working on something for young women's at my home with several ladies. Brad was sitting at the kitchen table eating when he looked over and said, "Aubryn's hamster is right there!" Sure enough there it was! Somehow it had gotten down 16 stairs! We had screaming and lots of "EDEN is in big trouble!!" from Aubryn. I should have known when Eden told me earlier that day, "I don't have Aubryn's hamster in my purse." that was not true. I never even thought she would do that. We got a lock on Aubryn's door the next day.
-
Brad installed that lock on Aubryn's door. He has become quite handy!! Hanging curtains, installing the sink faucet, hanging lights, hanging a hammock chair, hanging the thread holders in my craft room, and helping Brian and I install our dishwasher. It's been awesome!

All the kids have now had echo-cardiograms. This is James. Checking to see if all is well as the bicuspid aortic valve Rylan has is genetic. I got an echo as well. Should know the results this week.

James with "Marina". Eden wanted to see the mermaid over and over. She never sat by her. When Brad came in a little late she took him straight to her, but she as gone! "Brad missed out." she told me. Later that night she just wanted to know where the mermaid went. Where was her home. "Is she sleeping at the beach?"

I was cutting Brad's hair and wanted to leave it like this so bad. I thought it looked so good. I told him he looked like a rock star. He responded, "I'm not a rock star. He wanted me to buzz a number one ALL OVER HIS HEAD. I couldn't do it. We compromised.
This was the finished result.
