I am such a slacker!!!!

So it's been almost a month since I have posted anything on my blog!!! I know, I'm horrible. I think Nina is going to have a heart attack if I don't start posting more often :) Love you!!! Anyway, I have been sooo crazy busy so I will give you a little update on what we have been up to!!!

On the 26th, Ashley and I went to the Rascal Flatts concert. I know, those of you that know me know that I have been to EVERY concert for the last 5 years :) I am just a little obsessed... I couldn't miss it. I have to get my fix of my boys at least once a year lol... Anyway I took a TON of pics but I haven't downloaded any of them :) but I do have some pics that I took of Ash and I with my phone so I will post those with to be continued under all of them. That night was sooo much fun. We headed to SLC early and went to dinner at the California Pizza Kitchen with one of my besties, Anna. I was so excited that she was able to meet us down there. Anna has been my friend from the Wells Fargo days and after she got married, she moved to SLC to live with her honey so we don't get to see each other as often as we would like. It was nice to see her.. I love you Banana :) Anyway after Ashley and I headed over to the concert... it was so fun. The people we were sitting next to were hilarious and they were making us laugh the whole time. Jessica Simpson opened for them and she did a really good job as long as you don't look at her. When she sings, she puts the mic right on her mouth like she is making out with it. It is hilarious but absolutely horrible to watch... Then out came my boys!!! Oh goodness, I love them... Anyway all in all it was a good night until I got sick on the way home... but that is another story I will get into another time....

Then last week, my poor little baby was in the hospital :( She started getting sick about a week before but it just seemed like she had a really bad cold. As always, her cough is ridiculous because she has asthma so Tuesday I decided I had better take her in to see the doctor. This is a regular routine for us... Mahryka already takes one singulair a day, an inhaled steroid twice a day, and albuteral through her inhaler as needed up to 4 times a day... Poor child... It is so hard to see her struggling to breathe and get air because you are so helpless... Anyway, usually when she gets sick, we have to give her a liquid steroid to help with her cough or it will never go away so off to the doctor we went. Everything was fine at the doctor. Said it was a cold, but it sounded like the beginnings of pneumonia so I needed to watch her fever and keep in touch in case it got worse. He gave us our regular prescription for the steroid and we left. She slept pretty much for the next 5 days... That is unusual for her but I just figured it was because she was so sick and she needed her rest. Well Sunday her fever was still at 102 and not getting any better... so I took her up to the Emergency Room. After being there for 4 hours and a series of tests, they came in to tell us she had pneumonia and they needed to keep her and watch her and that they were going to start an IV... My poor little baby... She was so tough but when they had to do the IV, she lost it. And so did mommy. They attempted to do it in her arm the first time but once they got it in, the tube bent so they had to do it again in her hand. It was horrible.... Mommy was crying, Mahryka was crying... It was a mess. Anyway after a very long night and lots and lots of antibiotics through the IV, we were able to go home but had to be back to the Dr the next day, first thing in the morning. She is doing better now but I hope we never have to go through that again. I was only able to get one pic of her because she was not happy about me leaving her side so here you go...

You can't really tell in this picture at all but she was so miserable. Her little face was pale and she had big black circles under her eyes... it was the saddest thing ever. Anyway, enough for now... Sorry my post is so long... that is what happens when you don't update as often as you should :) I promise I will really try to work on it... I don't want to be like Becky LOL
