Well HELLO There to you too!!!

 Yup I have been feeling better and figured I had better get my butt on the computer and give an update. I mean Hello! Christmas was my last post! Yikes! So here you go. A lot of these posts are just the kids posing for their silly mother. Man is she a crazy one. She was always grabbing her camera thinking she needed to take another picture. HA! but they seem to love her anyways. Wheeew!

 I love me a good eyelashes shot.

 Darn home work.

 Ok so here you go. Here is the drama we have had in our lives since THANKSGIVING!!! So much for the six month mark they gave us ey! It's May! So over Thanksgiving we went to Sheri's house in Colorado. When we got back Triston had started getting some sort of a rash on his nose and other areas on his face. He had a Well Check for the Tuesday after we got back, but the school freaked out thinking it was infentigo ( don't have any idea how to spell that either ) So we took him to the Dr. on Monday. They ran all kinds of tests because we also found some on his back and come to find out the worse part was in his hair and I had never even noticed! And to get into the Dermatologist around here is ridiculous. They wanted me to wait 2 months. Luckily my insurance found one in less than two weeks. Well turns out it was a fungus. Who knows where we got it. They think it usually starts with animals (which we don't have around us). But poor little Triston got it. He was on medicine until just last month for it. His hair all fell out. His self esteem got a complete blow. Not to mention, just before Christmas he broke out in a crazy rash all over and I was worried he was allerigic. He wasn't, thank goodness. His skin was just pissed off at the fungus and so he got a rash all over his face. Right before his Christmas program at school where he played Joseph. UHG!! If you noticed the pictures of him he is not his normal smiling self in the program. He just got so self-conscience. He is such a sweet thing and I felt horrible for him. I was more worried what others would say to him. He wore a hat to school for months and after that he would wear a patch to cover the bald spot. He just recently stop wearing one. This whole thing has been a horrible nightmare. I dreaded bath time.  I would have to have him soak his head, and then scrub it. You would think I was trying to kill the poor child. I don't think there were many baths where we both didn't leave in tears. I hated it. But he is doing great now. The last culture was clear so he has been off the meds and we have just been waiting for his hair to grow back. The second picture I actually took yesterday for Triston so he could see his head. He said, "it's getting better every day"

I was playing around with my newest lens I got.  A 28mm. It gets in real close that's why they look a little distorted. But we were just having fun.

Peek a Boo!

Fun in the snow.

Love these kids. Sometimes it's crazy when I think how much I love them. They are just so stinkin cute. How could I not right.

Mike and Connie were here for a visit. We all went down to Gma and Gpa Larsen's.  It was a crazy house with all of our kids. But they love it.

Love you guys. Miss you.

I was getting ready to take some shots for my cousin Eric's mission so the kids helped me test the light. Look how handsome.

These shots all remind me of the ones I used to have with Mikey back when my dad would play around and shoot us. :)

Love the face right!

We stayed at the cabin for a few days with Chris' parents. I hung out with the kids while the others went snowmobiling. The kids are so silly. look at these cheeses.

We went tubing a ways from the cabin.  Everyone has so much fun.  We take turns driving up the hill to drop people off. No walking up the hill for our family. :)

Zack crashing

Both boys had their hats down so low they couldn't see a thing. They wouldn't have known if they were going to run into a pole or anything. They were just a long for the ride.

Dani was so tired, but she loved when grandma pulled her along on the sled.

Look at those lips.
