Cereal disaster

Mason is in to everything now!!

I couldn't resist not taking this picture. Mason
decided to dump out the box of Froot Loops. I guess he
was hungry.

Jared's Ear Scare

I wanted to share the good time Jared had first before
we get to the not so good. This is Jared on Halloween night.
He won 2nd in the potato sack race.

taking a rest on the dirt hill

So here is the bad.
I came home from work on a Wed night around dinner time. Troy tells me
that Jared had stuck something in his ear. It was a little plastic ball. We tried looking
in his ear but every time we got even a little close Jared would flip out. So we decided
to take him to the urgent care. Ears are so sensitive I didn't want to mess with it. Of course
when I got there we had a lot of laughs. Everyone had there attention on our room. Anyways they started one at time trying to use different instruments to get it out. After 2 hours of Jared screaming and his ear swelling the doctor decided that I needed to go somewhere else. So we found a pediactric ER connected to John C. Lincoln Hospital. After going through all the explanations AGAIN and telling them what was not going to work we felt that putting him under would be the only way to remove the ball. There are no words to describe what he went through to get in his IV . Even Mason was crying because he was so scared from Jared. They used three different meds in the injection. One was a pain reliever and the other two were to put him to sleep and an amnesia to help him forget all the trauma he had already been through. Thankfully everything went really well and the doctor was able to pop it out. It was in there pretty good. She had to dig for it. What an experience and I don't recommend it to anyone. I think Jared would agree with me. He said "I am never doing anything like that again". We would greatly appreciate that.

Trunk or Treat

Halloween Night!!

Our trunk or treat was held at a family's house
in our ward that has 10 acres. Mason and Tatum
found a huge dirt hill to play on. Mason was Sparky
the ASU sun devil. Tatum was a unicorn, Maegan &
Kaden were witches and Jared was darth vader.


The kids had so much fun playing games. Eating
hot dogs and chips. Yes of course they ate plenty
of candy.


They also had a hay ride to go on. That was the
big hit.

Mason loved it. He cried every time we took him
off the hay. We had a great time.

Maegan posing right before she went on to the cake
walk, which she did win some cupcakes.

.
After experiencing bangs with Kaden I said I would
never put them on any of my girls. Unfortunatly I couldnt
keep away from them. So here is the finishing touch
of Tatum's new hair cut. I think it is growing on me
though and I am having fun doing something different.
It's actually kind of easier to do because it is styled.

Thanks for all your suggestions.

"NOT wanted hair cut"

A couple of days ago before the kids went to school,
Kaden for some reason decided she wanted to cut
off Tatum's hair. Of course I didn't realize this until
later that day. Obviously she didn't get the message
that "I do not like bangs".



At least with 3 girls I have been able to go this
long without having major not wanted hair cuts.
We will be going to kids cuts tomorrow to see if
there can be any recovery. We can not have this
hair do with a wedding in 2 weeks. I would love
to hear any suggestions.



I know we have all had our share.

Mysterious Mole

As most of my family knows, Mason has had a weird mole to the side of his stomach. It's about
half the size of a piece of corn(just to give everyone an idea). It has been there since he was about a month old. I noticed it but didn't really think much of it. I thought it was kind of a birth mark or something. When I took him to his 9mo Dr. appt(only because I was late on his shots), I asked my Nurse Practitioner if she would look at it to see if she knew what it was. She just said it was a mole but to watch and make sure that it didn't change color or grow. Well the next day I got a call from her and she said that she changed her mind. That night she went home and researched tons of Dermotology books to see if she could put a name to it, but she couldn't. So a little over a month ago I made an appt for last Thurs. to see a pediactric Derm. and we got the results. It is called "Mastocytoma". A collection of mast cells that release histamine when it is irritated/rubbed, which causes it to have reddness and swelling. The doctor said he was surprised that Mason only had one. Usually they are all over the body. He could get more but he probably won't if he hasn't already. I have noticed through out the last 6 months that his skin is very sensitive. If I pick him up from under his arms and then put him down his arms would be really red. When I lay him on the floor to change him and then pick him up his back is all red.

The good news is it is the best kind you can have. There is no need for a byopsy or anything. It will just go away as he gets older. I just have to watch and make sure that it doesn't blister, and when he is older if he breaks an arm or something he can't have demerol, morphine,or codine because it will make the mastocytoma flare. That is only if it hasn't gone away. We are really relieved that it is nothing serious and blessed that Mason is still a healthy boy. By the way, he is walking across the room now. My last baby is growing up so fast. He will be 1 next month. We love him so much. I also have to mention we have no ear drums anymore from his screaming.

Little bug friends

Our poor little Tatum has been an eating frenzy
for some bugs during the middle of the night. We
don't know what kind, but it has been going on
for a couple of weeks. She is itching them all the
time and they are so swollen. As if she isn't chunky
enough already. 30 % of the time she sleeps on
our floor and 70% of the time she is in our bed.
So for the last couple of nights we have been
sleeping on the couch. These pictures don't do justice.

We decided to take her to the doctor because we
thought it was something worse then just bugs, like
hives. The doctor said it was all bugs. So we were
told to put neosporin on it to help from getting
infected and to give her benadryl for the itching.
Just in case it gets worse the doc gave us a perscription.
I also have to find her a new spot to sleep at night.

The weird part is that no one else is getting it.
Just a few here and there. Tatum has some very
tasty legs. We will be spraying to get rid of
our not so nice friends

My New Job!

It's amazing how the Lord watches over you. When you think that he's not there he
will throw in a little blessing to let you know he's watching you. A couple months ago we
talked about me getting a job to help us with the move, but it didn't seem right at the time.
And then out of the blue it seems like it just kind of all came together. Things with Troy's work
got really good and now it has worked out that I am able to work. It's kind of funny how it happened. Last week Janell and I were out shopping at the mall to get Treston
some new school clothes. We went into her favorite store called the
Pumpkin Patch. As we were looking for different outfits Tatum had pulled
a pair of shorts off the hanger. I put them back on the hanger and asked the
employee (who happened to be the store manager) if that was how they were
suppose to go. She was so surprised that I knew how to do it and then insisted
that I took an application. Last night was my first night starting. I love it. It will
be a change for me but I know in the end it was for a good purpose. So all of you who can
come see me. I only work at night so I can still be home during the day.

Pedicure Heaven

It's about time I know!!

Well I finally did it! My first pedicure. It was
wonderful. I cant believe I waited this long to go.
I have always been so insecure about my feet.
Not any more. You were right Anny, they are very
addicting. I am ready for my next one. Thanks to
Janell for urging me to go with her. My little Maegan
is also addicted. She's asking me every week to go.

Spotlight of the week

Tatum Elizabeth Bosworth

Tatum as a baby is who you would call the black
sheep of the family. She is the only one who was
born with hair. And with a mo hawk. She was
definetly the most difficult. (and still is)

She was a beautiful baby though and I wouldn't
trade her for the world.

Tatum loves to sing and dance. Her absolute
favorite is H.S. Musical. Even more than Maegan.
She has 2 shirts with H.S.M and she has to wear them
everyday.

Tatum loves playing outside, riding her bike,
swimming, and turning on the hose(my water bill
will prove that). She is the biggest daddy's girl.

She tries to be helpful with mason but sometimes
is too rough. They are so cute when they start to
wrestle though. He is a little tough guy.

You know when Tatum is mad, she will scream
at the top of her lungs. She keeps me on my toes.
There is never a dull moment with her.

There are moments though when she can be so helpful,
and she gives the biggest hugs and kisses. We love
Tatum to pieces. There would be huge hole in
our family if she were not a part of it.

Trip to Sedona

We went to Slide Rock!!

This is the kids getting ready to slide down the rocks.
The water was freezing, so it took a few minutes to
get used to.

Kaden and I after we junped off the cliff. We are
at the bottom. It was as high as a single level home
patio roof. It took a little convincing and we had to
go together but she made it.

It took a little persuading for Jared too, but he
eventually went off by himself after going with
Dad a couple of times.

As you can see Jared went on his own and wanted to
keep going again and again. It was a blast.

Tatum had so much fun going in the water. She
didn't understand that she had to keep a hold of
my hand so she wasn't slipping everywhere.
Although she did leave with a bruise on her cheek.
We still had an awesome time.

Happy Birthday!!!

July 19th Maegan turned 4 yrs. old.
"Getcha head in the game" If you haven't already
guessed, High School Musical was her theme.

We had the family over to swim and have pizza.
She couldn't wait to open her presents. Every half
hour she was asking to open them.

Make a wish!!!!!

We love our little Maegan. She is defiantly a Girly
Girl. Where ever there is make-up, nail polish,
bracelets or earrings you will find her. She asks me
to paint her nails at least once a week.

She loves to sing,go swimming, play games on the
computer, and play her favorite game which is
"Slamwich."

T.V. Accident

Sawyer was playing with his cousin Tatum and
the T. V. was pulled down off the dresser.

It landed right on top of tatum but unfortinetly
for sawyer it got him right on the head.

OUCH!!!

The bloody towel and hair that had to be shaved
off to put on the bandage.(there was a lot more
blood than that)

He was such a good sport and just sat there and
let everyone take care of him

Daddy took good care of him. Cutting his hair ,giving
him a bath, and putting on medicine. Uncle Troy put
on the band aid.

Priceless Moments

I am so thankful for my family and my beautiful
children.

Big Smiles from maegan and mason

Sooo tired, Tatum couldn't make it not even long

Spotlight of the week

Kaden turned 8 yrs. old on the 1st of July and was
baptized today by her dad. She was
so excited and did so well. There was much support
and many of you we missed. She got her own new
scriptures for her birthday and she loves reading them.
She has such a strong spirit and we are so blessed to have
her.

Kaden is a wonderful big sister and a tremendous
help to mom. She is always willing to help with her
sisters and brothers. She is a wonderful student at
school. All I hear is how much of a role model she is
and everyone loves her. Kaden loves to swim ,and every
chance she gets she is begging grandma for a piano lesson.

We love our sweet Kaden and are so proud of her.
She has grown up so much.
