Giggles

Oopsie was getting very lonely and depressed so we decided to buy him a friend. Her name is giggles, as when I "accidentally" got her out in the car and she flew everywhere and it took ages to catch her.  We laughed so hard, well Chris was a little mad but he still giggled.
 Oopsie and Giggles are totally in love, at first we wasn't sure as he kept pecking her head,lol. They are the cutest ever now, never leaving each others side. If we grab one they squawk


Note: We are not sure on the sex of either bird.

Graduation Pictures

My smart and adorable Pre-K class are about to Graduate.  They are so ready for their next chapter, that being Kindergarten.  I bought them each their favorite color cap and gown.  After a few photo shoots we got some awesome pictures.  Enjoy!!

Graduation was meant to be Monday but Hailey is showing similar symtoms as Taylor.  Stay tunned though as its going to be a good time watching the final stage of preschool of these two brilliant 4 year olds.

Taylor is Home

 Blogger has been changing things I guess so this is in reverse order.  When I was told she was coming home, I was so nervous.  The doctor originally said she would be in a week at least and he would not release her until she was eating, drinking and jumping around.  She was doing none of these things, she was just so scared and so traumatized that she would cry and get stressed out whenever anyone came to her room.

 Her white blood cells are still only 1.9 so its a little scary for us all.  But I will say, she has been home for less than 24 hrs and she is a million times better than yesterday.  She has eaten 2 meals today (small, but still awesome) she is not drinking yet so I'm syringing fluids in her at the moment
 Hailey was apparently miss informed on how to wear the mask! All Taylor wanted to do was ride in the elevator, she got her wish!
I started this post this morning and she is going down hill a little now, her fever is going up even though she is having medicine every three hours around the clock!! Oh how I wish this was all over for her, she is getting so emotional.

Go Estella

Estella is sooooo close to crawling, will she be on the move before her birthday in a few weeks?  Ill let you know!

Mono

My computer is really messing around so I apologise if this post comes out weird, the pictures are backwards I know that much.  So to run through what has happen: Taylor had a high fever for 5 days and we just couldn't break it, we were told by the base to not bring her in to see a doctor as it was just a virus and it will run its course.  Hailey doing the same thing the week before and got over it so I was happy to just wait it out.  Saturday evening she just wasn't happy at all, screaming and crying. I took her to the ER and they brought her in the back straight away. They took her bloods and got a shock that her white blood cells were at 2 when the norm is 8-10, they call the on call Holloman doctor as the doctor they had wouldn't see military children!! (don't get me started!) Anyway, he came out and was unhappy that he was called in the middle of the night, he admitted her and came back in the morning.  After apologising for the night before he was really nice.  I was getting really worried especially when the nurse said he has only seen results like this in cancer patients. He should have never told me that and tried to back track.  But reality is, he's right.  The doctor didn't want to worry me and didn't tell me his concerns until after he had cleared them.  He was discussing Taylor to the blood/cancer specialist in Albuquerque and she was almost certain that as she was tested positive for Mono that this was the cause of all her symptoms.  They are treating Taylor here in Alamogordo for now and just hope she gets better.
She is hooked up to and IV and had antibiotics 3 times daily.  She is extremely weak and the first day she just laid life-less in the bed not caring about anything. She is having her bloods taken a lot and this is causing a lot of trauma for her, they are having a hard time getting the blood so each time takes a few attempts. When anyone comes to the door she gets really scared. She received some lovely gifts today, she is a very loved little girl, Auntie Kristi and her family got her a gorgeous smiley face mug filled with beautiful flowers, Nanny and Grandad got her a lovely pink bear, Estella got her a purple fluffy pillow and some crayons and paper, she also got us a giant lasagna and ice-cream for dinner! Levi got her a puzzle book, stickers and a coloring book. So many people have shared their prays and well wishing for her and it means so much to us, thank you everyone!!
This pictures was actually in the ER, thank god for my Kindle fire!!

Ill try to update daily:-)

Makayla

This little cutie pie is Makayla, she started with us on Monday and we are all totally in love with her. She is 4 weeks old and a dream baby. Happy and content and just 100% perfect! She is so tiny, she weighs only 7lbs and I must say I was a little nervous at first. I tell you what I am going to have a hard time giving her up:(

Testing

Hailey has been quite poorly for a week now, fevers going up and down, stomach aches and just being tired:( Sadly this meant she couldn't test with all her friends on Saturday, but she got to test today luckily as she was still having episodes. Thankfully she did awesome and PASSED her first TKW testing!!
Masie also passed the first time, this girl amazes me with her sparring skills. Awards on Friday:-)

One Huge Easter Post

I have been so bad blogging lately that I decided to sit down and do a huge Easter weekend post. We have had a great time. Saturday we went to Easter in the park with our best friends and it was really fun, mainly for the adults because it was FREE. Taylor won the Easter egg hunt and got a Easter basket, she was happy.

Don't ask what went on here, apparently I uploaded the pictures to the side but Hey, whatever.


Mango yet again was caught helping out the Easter bunny making a HUGE MESS!!
Pablo and Rex have too much fun with the eggs, in the end we had to send them inside because they were opening them all.Clues as always start the day off full of excitement.Run Hailey Run!!!! Time for the hunt, Hailey had a little head start but really didn't need it after all.A lovely bike ride with the whole family.Followed by a picnic in the park.Off to the Zoo, not our first option but everywhere else was so crowed! I took portraits of the girls:-)
