Taylor in the hospital

While camping with our cute neighbors in Granite Flats, Taylor got really sick. At night, I was listening to her breathing and she had a respiratory rate of 80 bpm (normal 40-60 bpm). When we got her to the ER the next day, her saturations were 80% on room air. She was admitted to Riverton Hospital for Metapneumo virus. She stayed there for 4 days and went home on oxygen.

Diamond Fork Hot Springs

Over the first weekend in July, we enjoyed camping with the Cardon's and the Parkin's at Diamond Fork campground. It was a fun campground with a "discovery trail" that the kids could explore without spuervision. The men enjoyed fishing in the river and us ladies just enjoyed time to talk and play games. We also had a fun hike up to the hot springs (pictured above). If only there weren't large snakes everywhere!!

Happy 34th to me!

Okay! How sad is it when I have to "figure out" how old I am. Thanks for ALL my family and friends that showed so much love and support to me on my birthday. I felt so loved.

Happy 9th B-Day Aubrielle!

Aubrielle's B-Day was on Sunday but really it lasted for three days. Grandma Orme and her Aunts and Uncles wished her Happy Birthday on Saturday. Then on Sunday she had a big birthday breakfast and opened presents. (Aubrielle just wanted clothes, jewelry and shoes- does that mean she is old already?) After birthday dinner (in which she choose steak- not pizza), Grandpa and Grandma Hintze and the rest of the Hintze clan came over to have cheesecake (I think another sign of maturity... she didn't want a cake decorated by Dad.)

On Monday morning, Aubrielle went to Boondocks with me and then went swimming at Oakridge. That night we went to Golden Corral. (This is my kid's FAVORITE place in the world to have dinner.)

Braden loves getting his picture taken- can you tell? "Just Dance" was Aubrielle's favorite toy that she got. We have lots of dance parties at our house now.

Katelyn's Preschool Graduation

Katelyn's Preschool was fabulous and so was her graduation. They had speaking parts and sang songs and her teacher, Ms Alisha, also did a video of them with pictures that she took throughout the year. Katelyn has stated many, many times how much she LOVES preschool. E

Aubri's & Kenzie's Dance/Gymnastic Recital

My girls love to get all dressed up with makeup and pretty costumes. This is a night they look forward to from the first day of dance.

And who do they owe this to? That right girls... kiss up so that he will continue to fund your hobby.

Taylor's Blessing Day

Taylor was blessed by her Dad and it was a neat blessing. In Taylor's blessing, it said that she is a special person and has been blessed through all these experiences that she has gone through. In the blessing it stated that she has had angels watching over her. I know that we have been blessed by our Heavenly Father. Her life truly is a miracle and a blessing to us all.
