Snow Day

What a week we have had at the Shelley house!!!! It is quite a funny story now that it is all over, but I was worried I wouldn't survive it!!! Let me start from the beginning.....last Thursday Jaidon came home from school early because he was not feeling well. On Friday he still had a horrible cough and was extremely tired. On Friday afternoon Grandpa Shelley and Uncle Matt showed up with the most beautiful Bunk beds for the boys. Uncle JD made them and he did a amazing job...I will post a pic when I get the beds made! So we were all excited to hang out and visit with them. On Saturday Jaidon decided that on top of having a cough that he needed to get a flu bug too! Oh what fun! Jaidon got to spend the day bonding with all the men in the house while Miki and I were off to the church to get ready for the ward Christmas party. Although we had a lot to do it was nice to get out of the house and spend some time with just Miki, she was a great help! Sunday comes and Jaidon is still not doing so hot, so once again Miki and I leave the boys to bond and head to church. Miki feeling like she is missing out on the boy bonding and decides that she wants to get the flu bug like Jaidon while our Bishop was here calling Chad to be the Young Men's President! AHHH!:) Monday comes and the Miki and Jaidon are doing better but not 100% so they stay home from school. Tuesday was when the above pictures where taken....not sick today....School was canceled do to the 4+ inches we received that day. Wednesday comes and we are getting them ready for school and Jaidon is not wanting to go, says his tummy hurts. We get him up and are trying to help him get going.....nope he decided that he wasn't quite over the flu. That was fun to clean up!!! So off Miki goes to school and I take care of Jaidon and Chase. Chase decided that he was sick in the middle of the night! Oh the fun! The day only gets better from here....Chad calls me after he is done with surgery to inform me that he now has the bug too!! I was so excited (sarcasm!!!) Well poor Chad comes home and is complaining that his stomach really hurts and he thinks he might need to go to the doctor. This is where I get the "Wife of the Year" award... I tell him that he is just fine and he should just eat some apple sauce and lay down he just has what the kids have had. Needless to say the applesauce did not help and at about 3 he convinced me to take him to urgent care. I was not to thrilled about it. So I load the sick boys in the car and DROP him off so I can be home when Miki gets home. Soon after she gets home Chad calls and says he needs me to come and take him to get a CT scan. What!!! So I leave Miki and Jaidon at home to go take him, Urgent Care doesn't want him to wait so they take him to the CT place! They are afraid his appendix is going to burst....great wife huh! Well we find out that his appendix is fine but the fatty tissue around the upper side of the appendix is inflamed(or something like that) so they give him a shot of pain meds and an antibiotic to take care of it. Well finally on Thursday everyone is feeling better so off to school with Miki and Jaidon, Chad gets to take a day off work but is feeling much better and I get to finally go out to get things ready for the school class parties. After a morning of shopping we check the messages and WHAT??? Miki and Jaidon are coming home early and school is cancelled on Friday!! Love Ice storms!!! It wasn't to bad, but poor Jaidon will be out of school for almost three weeks after Christmas break! What a week! The funny thing is the above story is the Cliff Notes version!! We are all healthy now.....except for me feeling horribly pregnant already! I can only imagine what the weeks ahead have to offer!

Happy Birthday Miki!!!

Miki in her cute new outfit that Grandma "Jackson" made for her.

Jaidon and Chase gave her a blanket that has a picture of Troy(High School Musical) on it and she LOVES it! What a nut!

I can't believe my baby girl is 9!!! We had a quite family party after all the normal craziness of our Tuesday nights. Miki had Ballet(which explains the crazy bun hair and jammies) and then we came home and opened presents and had cake. Chad made her happy by making her a "Cow Girl" cake, she is so funny! She is such a sweet girl. It is so fun to watch her grow up. We are so proud of her and she is our sweet heart! I am a little fearful what the next nine years will bring, she has already been told that she not aloud to date or even think about boys :)

Christmas lights

OK I know it is not anything spectacular, but I am so excited to have lights on my house!!!! Thank you so much Chad for scaling the roof and making it work :) I think next year we will look into having someone do it for us.....I value Chad's life more then having lights on the house. My trees on my front porch that I was so excited to have when we moved in actually look OK with lights on them (one is almost dead, but I have to wait till spring to replace it again....I am thinking I should of just bought the fake ones, I can't kill it if it is not alive :)) Chad wanted lights on the peaks but we were short on lights, time, and my nerves where going crazy having him up on the wet roof, not the smartest time to be climbing on a slanted surface!!! He wanted to get them finished tonight because tomorrow it is supposed to snow and the rest of the week it is going to be sooooooooo freezing. Thanks again for keeping your pregnant, hormonal wife happy! I am sure it is not an easy job!!!

Poor Doggie!

Poor Cookie lost his manhood on Friday:( He has to wear the cone thing for 2 weeks!! It is pretty sad because he doesn't realize that his head is wider now. Fudge is loving it because Cookie can't bite his legs with it on. The poor dog can't climb up the stairs so if he makes it down he sits and whines when he wants to come back up.....so sad!
