Birthday boy

I can't believe how few pictures I have taken over the past couple of weeks. I think I have set a record for myself and I am highly disappointed in me. I guess we have had a lot going on. Last Saturday Seneca started breathing funky and turning blue. Like how I typed that all casual? I was shaking so bad as I tried to dial 911 that it took me like 3 tries. We were taken to children's hospital and stayed for 2 days. She was a lot better as soon as they gave her some oxygen, and actually quite happy considering she had spiked a fever on her way up there. They ran every test in the book on her (including a spinal tap poor thing!) and came up with pretty much nothing. They think it was a UTI that caused a fever that spiked rapidly causing a seizure. But unfortunately they never ran the urine sample they took so we will never know. She is doing great now and has been so much happier since she has been home.

 

She missed her siblings while we were away. We saw a little girl about Pantera's age with the same haircolor as Pantera and Seneca starting talking and cooing like crazy! She wanted that girls attention so bad. Then when we actually got to go home she talked most of the ride home and just smiled and smiled at her siblings in the back seat of the van. I love that they love eachother so much.

 

 

Amari helped Katurah get into a horse costume. I loved the way she was trying to walk with both legs in one hole, so funny. Why were they dressed as horses? I hid the Mike Wasoski costume, that's why.

 

We had a family tragedy this week. Zeke's fish "Slimy" passed away suddenly. As Zeke was crying, Amari informed me "We were holding it at bed time." Poor fish! He has been in there room for 6 months with no problems, I guess his slimy scales became irresistible.

 Bluestar looking as regal and royal as ever.

We are working on Pantera's room this week. It was black chalkboard walls halfway up to a chairrail and pink on the top. I was informed that "If any of my friends come over it will be really embarrassing." We are going for an Avengers theme and it's looking pretty good so far, can't wait to post pics.

Jess turned 31 today...oldilocks! He started his birthday out right by throwing up all night. This may have been a ploy to get out of church and have the house to himself, still haven't decided. The kids made the usual big stink for his big day. I love how excited they get. Pantera and Amari stayed up late making him special cards. When they presented the cards this morning, Zeke was really stressed that he hadn't made one. So he went to a notebook we have been using to teach him sight words and tore of a page with his name and a picture I drew of him and gave it to Jess. It was darling. Happy birthday Jessiboy, you are like a fine wine better with time and I will have to talk to the bishop if I drink you.
