Mother of 4...ish


My niece Melody has been pretty durn sick from about the day she was born...not really but recently has been having some serious breathing and respiratory issues. She has been in and out of the hospital for weeks and is again currently. They were taking her to the new Banner desert Cardin hospital, but seriously getting pissed, they went back I think 4 times because nothing was ever accomplished there, Roseanne would go hours or days without food because the hospital didn't take care of her as well. Finally this time around we told her MERCY GILBERT is the best! (and real close to my house!) I tell ya, what a change! They feed her every meal, and there is a in room bathroom with shower, and a comfy bed (NO bed at Cardin) Roseanne is feeling much more comfortable in her situation. Got to visit yesterday and bring her some much neede necessities...deodorant underwear..chocolate,. you know what every mother needs. Seems Melody may be there another 3-5 days...poor baby.

meanwhile...Kaden, and Grant have been staying at HOTEL BUTLER! It's been a blast. Unforunatly all their kids were kind of under the weather and I risked getting McKenzie and Brady sick...luckily Brady is doing fantastic but McKenzie seems to be catching a small cough...doh. Not for lack of trying though. I have Lysol, hand sanitizer, bleach, and hand washing on the hour! Baths every night, and Vitamins and oranges with almost every meal! not to mention Tylenol and cough medicine every 6 hours. Everyone seems extremely happy too!

Hopefully we can get the whole clan (Service's) to come stay at HOTEL BUTLER. We have plenty of space, and love to go around. The kids miss Tres and Zack & Abby, it would be nice to get them out of their house and here together until they close on their new house! Not to be a thunder stealer for Roseanne but they are scheduled to move and close on a new house march 14th! So excited for them! Their current house is not ideal for little sick melody. the previous owners were horrible people and it has some bad termite damage and mold. So on to bigger and better things! So excited for them! Just got to get through this last bump in the road.

Jake was home yesterday (day 2 with Kids) So we ventured to the park, it was GREAT! Jake played big bad wolf with the kids, and I got to sit back relax and hold my lil brady man.
I love how he is 6"2 and still going down the slide...how i love him :) Kinz and Grant have worn each other out EVERYDAY jumping on the trampoline, playing with playdoh and running around like crazy people. Kaden is freaking hilarious! until you spend 3 full days with this kid you never really know how dang funny he is! He is so CUTE, and a good listener! He is usually so timid and reserved, but once he gets comfortable he is AWESOME! Brady found his tongue too...cutie.

Busy Mama! Sounds like you had fun though. Good job with the oranges and sanitizing! :)

I LOVE Mercy Gilbert! It can be so stressful trying to keep kids from getting each other sick. After Logan was born, I thought Conner was getting sick a few times and it was exhausting trying to keep Logan from getting sick. Now that he is older I think I'd just say screw it and let the germs fall where they may!
