Busy busy

It has been a busy week. Last week Kevin's parents came out to visit for Evangeline's blessing and Davy's birthday. We had a really good time with them! Kevin's dad took Kevin and me to see Lincoln. Kevin's mom took me shopping for clothes for Evangeline. Now she is set with clothes up to 24 months old.

Sunday we blessed Evangeline. Kevin gave her a beautiful blessing and she looked lovely in her little dress. I was called as the Relief Society First Counselor. My sister Sariah and her family came out to see the blessing, Kevin's cousin Carolyn also came out. After church we went to my parents house for a super tasty dinner.

Davy's birthday was also on Sunday. It is crazy to think that he is now 2 years old. We held a birthday party for him on Monday. I made a donut shaped ice cream birthday cake. I then put letters and numbers all over it. It turned out pretty tasty. Davy's favorite part of the cake was eating the letters off his cake. He did great with blowing out his candles. Grandma and Grandpa Sampson got him a rug with roads and houses on it and also got him some cars to play with on it. It is super fun! They also got him some learning apps on our phones and on my tablet. He loves playing with them, especially since they are letter based apps. Nana and Grandpa Springer got him magnetic letters, a box for them to go into as well as a magnetic board for him to use them on. They also got him a leapfrog tracing and drawing toy that teaches him how to draw his letters. He loves practicing with it and can now write A, H, P, O and I am sure a few letters I don't know about yet. We got him a bunch of matchbox/hotwheel cars as well as a truck, and a child's laptop toy that he can learn things on. He loves all his toys and plays with them regularly.

We really enjoyed Mom and Dad Sampson visiting, it was a lot of fun and we got to spend some good quality time with them. We also started reading scriptures with them while they were out and have now gotten ourselves started on scripture reading together. All in all it has been a busy but great week!

Still Sick

So much has happened over the last week or so. First Davy got sick and had to stay with my parents to keep Evangeline from getting sick too. Then Evangeline and I got sick as well. Thankfully Evangeline did not get sick enough to land her in the hospital. According to her doctor we would need to take her to the hospital if she had a fever of 100.4 or more or if she started wheezing when she breathed. Thankfully neither happened and other than some scary coughing fits she has been ok. I think today she is finally beginning to get better. Davy stayed with my parents until yesterday. He ended up getting an ear infection and is on antibiotics. He seems to be feeling a lot better now. It has been so good to have our little boy back home with us again!

After a lot of crying and worry and stress over everything I finally went in to my doctor and asked for some anti-depressants, I must say that I feel a good deal better now that I have started them. I am no longer constantly on the verge of tears, and I seem to feel a lot more on top of everything. I have been sick with the same cold that Davy and Eva have and have been miserable because of it. I have been trying to get sleep when I can and have been gradually getting better as well. This whole week has been filled with temperature takings, coughing, sneezing, lots of doctor visits and some helpful medicine. I will be so happy when we are all feeling better again.
