There's a SCREW in my NOSE!

Me again. Just wanted to share how crazy it can get around here! Last Tuesday Jake began screaming right before lunchtime and picking at his nose. I kept asking him what was wrong as he ran around the house yelling and crying. He just kept telling me "In my nose! IN MY NOSE!" I managed to catch him and attempted to look up his nose...yeah, he wasn't having any of it until I pulled out a flashlight and shone in up his nostrils. Lo and Behold...a tiny screw wedged tightly in the right one! Egad! I'm a nurse, sure, but how do you get an uncooperative two year old to hold still so you can fish it out??? (Hold still honey, it won't hurt...much.) So...off we go to Wee Care, where Dr. "Owie" (that's what the kids call him, his name is Dr. Alvey and he is awesome!) looked up Jake's nose, couldn't see the screw any longer and sent us off on a myth adventure to the ENT doc, who couldn't see the screw either and sent us off to Davis Hospital for Xrays, then back to the ENT, who squirted something up Jake's nose and he sneezed and out a teeny tiny screw flew. Jake then proceeded to wipe his nose, said "all better" and sauntered out of the office. He, of course, then told EVERYONE from the office to the parking lot about the screw in his nose!

I have the screw. It's going into the annals of our family history, along with a note about how it cost me $200 and FIVE hours with THREE cranky kids! Ain't parenthood the greatest??

And in case you wondered...we call them "myth" adventures because you wouldn't believe most of them!!! (Ha Ha Ha)

Miley Sue...we love you!!

Miley Sue is almost three months old now, and she had her check-up a few weeks ago. She now weighs in at 11.4 lbs., and has put on a whole inch and a half in height (22.5 inches!) Must be all that yummy Mommy's milk! She is definately a diva...loves her hair washed and being cuddled. She gets mightly angry when you dare put her down! I don't remember the boys being as...OPINIONATED (that's a good word for it) as little bitty ones. Miley Sue is definately opinionated, judging by the attitude she puts in her cries and squeals. World look out!

Sammy and Jake fight over who is her "bes' fren'" and like to hold her as much as Mom lets them. (They tend to forget she's not a doll.) Sammy finally calls her "she", we had issues with the pronouns for awhile.

Hey there!

Welcome, everyone to a new adventure for us--blogging! We decided we better get into the groove and try it out, considering how many friends and family members have blogs that we follow. Everyone says "you should try it," so...here we go. Since this is a learning experience, please bear with us and be forgiving as we try this here new-fangled stuff. We're excited to share with everyone and hope that we get lots of friends soon!
