Chaos

This past month has pretty much been one thing after another. Our Anniversary was April 20th. Six Years!!! My how time flies when you are having fun! That day we were also supposed to take Hannah in to Primary Children's Hospital for a scheduled eye surgery. She has needed to have her tear ducts scoped since she was born, due to the fact that they have been blocked. This being the third time we scheduled it. The first two times were cancelled either because she was sick and they won't put a child under anesthesia when they are sick due to high risks, or because we thought they had cleared up. Well it turns out the third time is not always the charm. At least not in this case. She became sick and once more the surgery was cancelled. So now it needs to be rescheduled. As for our Aniversary, Josh had worked graveyard the night before so he slept for a while that day and when he woke up we did a few things and then went out to dinner. I know it sure doesn't sound all that exciting but it was lots of fun!

The following day we made a few preparations for Josh's flight out to Texas the next day and then we spent the rest of the day with my parents because their ward was having an anniversary party and my family was asked to perform. It was far from anything you would see on Broadway but never the less it was fun and I'll admit we did ok.

That night when we got home Josh cut his hair. Now, you're probably saying to yourself "So what?" Well this was not just any ordinary cut for him. He buzzed his head.

After

His trip to Texas was 3 weeks long! Not the least bit exciting for someone who gets to be at home for three long weeks without someone to help our with the kids but we managed. The first weekend he was gone we went over to the Provo River to do a little fishing with Josh's dad. Now I don't like fish but I thought it would be something fun for Abi since she had been saying ever since Josh got a fishing rod for his birthday that she wanted to go fishing. So we went. And there was a little playground to play on and the girls got to spend some quality play time with their Grandma Coleman (they've always loved their play time with her). Well Abi did try fishing a couple of times but quickly tired of it. I guess she didn't quite realize that if you want to catch something you've got to sit there a while. Needless to say we didn't catch anything although Josh's little brother caught one!

The following week I decided that I was tired of hanging around our house all day without other adults to interact with so we packed up and took our own little trip to St. George to visit with my sister Ami. It was a lot of fun! The girls got to play with their cousins (Carter who is 9 months older than Abi and Braxton who is about 9 months younger than Hannah). So it worked out great. Hannah's first few days there were not all that great for her though. We ended up taking her to InstaCare for a double ear infection (where she recieved a shot). And then a few days later she fell off of a couple of stairs in the clubhouse in the backyard and gave herself a bloody nose and a fat lip. Abi on the other hand was loving it! We bought a little pool for them to play in and she loved playing with her cousin, but most of all to her excitement a few days after we got there a little dog arrived that was just her size. And she would chase her around until she caught her and then carry her around the house. The dog got a little tired of this after a while.

Needless to say we had a lot of fun and didn't really want to come home, but Daddy would be coming home the next day and we were ecstatic to see him!
