Ugh

Being sick sucks. I don't get sick very often, but when I do it is usually a doozy. McKinley came down with strep throat on Monday last week. She started antibiotics. Jamison started running a fever on Thursday. He started antibiotics on Sunday. I stayed home from church with Jamison on Sunday and I started not feeling well. By that night, I had a fever and chills and my throat hurt. Erica had to work so I didn't have my personal nurse to take care of me.

Kind of a bad week for this sort of thing. I've got a lot to do at work and I'm supposed to be going to scout camp on Wednesday. Saturday the Hillions are going to rock the Rigby pre-4th of July party. Hopefully I can recover.

Erica, Gavin, and Reagan have avoided  it so far. Keep your fingers crossed for them!

Soooo Excited!

My wonderful sister-in-law agreed to take pictures of my kiddos this past weekend. We only spent  30 minutes give or take a few, and it was free for me, and she got some very fun shots!! I'm posting the ones we printed on the side of our blog and I'll post the out take pictures here in the post.

McKinley has the best silly faces. Its hard to get her to smile normal.

Love this one!

Angry faces! Jamison is smiling too much in the background, but that is his angry face. I love Gavin's face here.....
"You take another picture, you will be sorry."

We call these next two "our homemade ventriloquist puppet". Its almost scary!


This little one is growing up too fast! Makes me sad.

This picture would have been perfect.....McKinley.....sigh.

I'm Bad! Sophie did ask him to make this face. Pretty awesome.
My kids are pretty photogenic. McKinley is in her "my teeth are too big for my face" stage. And Matthew's side of the family have some large front teeth, which McKinley appears to have inherited. Needless to say, I think my children are beautiful.
McKinley is turning 8 in 6 days. She'll get baptized July 6th. Crazy!! I can't believe she's that old. Blows my mind how fast time has been going.
My garden is slowly coming up. Corn looks good. Garlic, onions, and carrots all look good. Need to replant my green beans and cucumbers. Potatoes are slowly coming up. Didn't bother with peas this year. Tomato plants are doing fantastic. I have 9 of them. 4 early girl, 3 better boy, and two orange cherry tomato. They are called sun sugar, so tasty!
We are hoping to buy a house this summer. We'll just have to come back to take  care of our garden here. Our landlords are pretty cool like that. We'll mow the lawn for them to pay for the water we'll use. I'll post pictures of the garden later.....and the house whenever that might happen.
