We miss you babe. No make-up and all :) (Greg requested a pic of me too, otherwise I wouldn't torture the rest of you guys... LOL)

Lofty ambitions

I know I said I'd blog everyday, but I really had no idea how busy and tired we'd be. Here is a catch up blog.

Cousins! :)

Isaiah dressed up in Dad's work gear, for when he is out of the office. I remember always putting on his hard hat when we went to see him at work, there is something so cool about it...

Dad's co-workers did a presentation to send him off, it was really funny.

I'm glad he invited me to be there!Back at home causing trouble, he about gave me a heart attack

every time he looked through here

Shena and Joe, being cute and snuggle-ly

Watching his last movie in America... I'm not sure he liked it....

Mom liked it though, it was called "Happy Texas"

Yep, he fell asleep.

This is the last picture I took of dad before he left. I can't believe I forgot to get out my camera at the airport! It snowed the night before and Zachary loved it.

The movers came 2 days after dad left. and it only took them 2 days to pack the whole house.

The dining room on the day we left.

Isaiah trying to wipe off the black lipstick on his cheek, after I kissed him with the witch lipstick I found in the Halloween box.

OMG. What a big boy. I love him. He is sitting at great grandpa's with out a highchair.

Look at that smile!

Playing in the fresh snow @ g-pa greats house in fairview.

He REALLY loved the snow, just like his mom.

So I've been busy, I'm sorry ok?

Well these last few days have been crazy busy trying to get dad really ready to go. We dropped him off this morning, ready or not! He was by the way. He should be in the air between Chicago and Amsterdam right now, sleeping peacefully. So here are the last few days in a nut shell:

Zac and grandma playing, her hair is tickley!

BRB

I'm a disaster!

Joey showing Zachary a ball that glows! He love balls and his cousins love him.

They tell him all the time all day, it is super cute. He just follows

them around like a little puppy :) Trying to help the big boys figure it out! What? I don't know either. ;)
Here is a SMALL portion of what we are tackling,
this is also after we were almost finished! (this is the disaster, btw)

HAHAHA, grandma trying to clean out Zac's nose, he loved it!

I know it's gross but it was just too funny not to post.

Everything is better now, I guess I'll help grandma :)

HAHAHAHA

It was a good idea, but I haven't kept at it too good. The last two night I haven't written for a couple reasons. First, Greg is sick and I'm pretty sure he is not too worried about checking the blog! I'm talking deaths door. But I'm not there to witness it, so I'm taking his word for it. His mom says although hes pretty bad, she thinks he'll survive. I hope she is right ;) I feel bad being so far away. It's too late now though. Second, we have been so tired! we've gone to bed pretty early both nights, Zachary has been sleeping OK, only ok. He gets up at least once a night, but I'm actually glad these day to hear him. He has been acting totally normal since my last blog! That is a huge relief to me and everyone here. We didn't take him to the Dr or anything, but I called the nurse and my mom called her friend who is a P.A. They both said to monitor him and if it happens again to take him straight to the ER. The reason we didn't take him in is cause our insurance doesn't cover us out here, we have Kaiser.... They said to go and then after the claim was submitted they would decide if they would cover it or not.

Yesterday he went to my mom's friends house to play with her kids and give my mom and I a chance to get something done around here! Roney (mom's friend) said he was SO good, I love to get that report. He LOVED the big boys and sat with them like a big boy. I guess while they were playing video games they unplugged a controller for him and he sat there the whole time making noises and acting like he was playing too. He is so cute. She loved watching him and is going to help out a little today too. So while Zac was gone my mom and I cleaned the house and worked in the garage. I should have taken a picture of myself, I was so bundled up, I had on my dad's mountain climbing coat, a hat, gloves and boots! When my dad got home he called me a pansy. Whatever it was COLD!

Then last night after we got home from dinner, he was playing with his big cousins. They were all being silly and crawling under the bed, so Zac thought he needed to be under there too. It was so fun and cute watching him try to figure out how to get under there with them. He finally had to army crawl. Well I'll stop talking now and put up some pictures. :)

Here is Zac playing in the boys closet.

Here he is about to get his hair cut cleaned up by Auntie Mya.

UH, here is the INSIDE of the doors at mom's dental office, yeah it's that cold.

Zachary loves to pretend like he is drinking soda, don't worry I

don't give him the cup till it's empty!

911!

Today was basically a good quiet day, until I decided to take 4 boys, 9, 6, 4 & 1 to the movies. It all started out ok, we got loaded up and arrived at the theatre with about 5 minutes to spare. As we walked in I set Zachary on the counter as I got out my wallet to pay (with my dad's money, lol), he started leaning back like he couldn't keep himself up. It was WEIRD. I can't describe it, the look on his face was blank, he wouldn't focus on anything. I thought he was just being a weirdo and wanted down with his cousins. Nope, I set him down and he fell over I could tell he was trying to push himself up, but it wasn't working. I was scared. At this point I was already crying (I know crazy mom), I called my parents to find out where the hospital was and to tell them to come get the other boys. It was then that dad said call 911. I did and luckily Green River WY is very small and the police station is right across the street from the movies. The police and EMT's were there in no time. The police were first and he was still acting very strange and had no balance and was not connecting with anything or anyone. the office set him down and he fell over again. In the next minute or two the volunteer EMT's arrived. Zachary started acting normal again, it was that quick. In a split second he was walking around and trying (he was still wobbly) to chase his cousins. My mom and dad arrived next and I started crying again, I'm telling you it was WEIRD, he has never acted that way. Well Zachary and I came home (mom ended up taking the 3 other boys to the movie, against her own desire) my dad and his friend Jerry weren't far behind. They gave him a blessing, he was so still and quiet, that is not normal either :). Even though I know he is going to be fine now, that was the scariest moment of my life so far! I plan on taking him into the Dr. this week, maybe tomorrow, just for a check up, even acting like that for 5 minutes is not ok and it is very scary. So that was our adventure for today. Zachary is upstairs sleeping soundly, and I am now on my way. Love you!

Big ideas & big adventures

So Zachary and I have embarked upon our 5 week adventure, solo.... Sorta. We are in WY with my family. My dad is moving to Kenya on the 18th of January and will be gone for 2 to 3 years (depending on how fast he can get the plant functioning....), so I am helping my mom move to St. George UT. I came out early to see my newest nephew, Toby blessed. That was just today. It was wonderful to be with my family, but we really missed Greg. The pictures are definitely missing someone :(. As of right now, if we can make it, we are planning on being here until the first weekend in February when Greg will come and get us in St. George. So that is the big adventure, the big idea is that I'm going to TRY to blog at the end of each night and keep Greg in the loop and up dated with pictures of his baby. So here is our first 3 days in UT and WY:

On the road to Toby's blessing, with the cousins.
