Manito Park!!

Manito Park has been a central park attraction located in the
South Hill neighborhood of Spokane Washington for many years.
Once sporting even a zoo, Manito has grown and changed with the times and community.
Now this regal park is an attractive place to take in the beauty of this area, relax with friends, throw an outdoor party, feed the ducks, bicycle, jog, hike and more.
Great for all ages, Manito Park is a 90 acre park with something for everyone,
including tennis courts, multiple playgrounds, baseball field, and picnic spots.
Not to mention some of the most beautiful manicured gardens in the Pacific Northwest.

While we were looking in Spokane for housing,
We got to go to this beautiful park!!
So I got a few pictures from the car and then I walked through
the Japaneses Gardens by myself. I didn't have to worry about the kids.
I just walked through with peace and quite. :)

I found someone to do our pictures and she said we can pick anywhere we want?
I really really want to take our family pictures around this park. Beautiful!!
I can't wait to go again...

Whenever I Hear the song of a bird...

Whenever I hear the song of a bird,

or look at the blue, blue sky,

Whenever I feel the rain on my face

or the wind as it rushes by.

Whenever I touch a velvet rose,

or walk by our lilac tree,

I'm glad that I live in this beautiful world

Heavenly Father created for me.

The beauty of spring reminds me of Heavenly Fathers love for me.
I'm so grateful for all the beauty he surrounds me with each and every day.
So I just finally went out the other day and cleaned my yard up.
It really needed to be done because the previous renters did not
take care of the yard at all. I had no garbage bags so
I filled about 4 medium size boxes of weeds and
whatever else was left from the renters.

For the last week I have seen a very protective mother,
but never could find the nest and so I did while cleaning the yard.
This nice nest that she has made is under our deck...The have not hatched yet?



Waiting, Waiting, Waiting!!


Also we have one big tree in our backyard and
I thought it was just going to stay green...But!!!

Before:


After:
It's Pink!!


Okay so you see on the left side of the tree how it looks
like a lot of weeds and tall grass.
Well look what I found all through out this mess!!



A Pink Rose Bush!!


I'm glad that I live in this beautiful world
Heavenly Father Created for me!!

Way out of our Range!!

Not to long ago I was talking with Jake and I really want to get our
family picture done before the boys get to old.
So I decided to look around and all of the
photographers are a little out of
our range so, I'm going to attempt to do it myself.
Just use the timer on our camera!!
and I have been practicing on the boys this last week.
I love Pictures!!

It took us about 3 weeks but we found it. It's a Duplex!!

More Picture to come on the inside!!

Up-Date!!

So it seems to me that Bronsen has been sick with everything.
It went from spitting up and not keep anything down from day 1 and
then he got RV even after going to the doctor and telling me that everything is okay
he just has a cold. But into the ER I went and found out that he had RV.
Nothing was getting better it seemed like and every time I went to the doctor
I was just forking out money after money and nothing was working.
He was put on a Breathing treatment to see if that would help his wheezing and
hard to breathe, and it helped for little while. Then through all of this he got Thrush
and was put on antibiotics for that and then got a Yeast Infection from the antibiotics.
It seemed to me that everything started to fade away and then 2 weeks later there I was in the ER with Diarrhea,Vomiting,Dehydration which made his Co2 level low.
He was a 16 and they want your level to be around 23.
So there I was in the ER all night long watching them stick my little baby seven times
trying to get his blooded drown and get an IV. After 4 nurse's they said that I was being moved to the second floor so they will try up there and sure enough one time and she got. Yahoo!!
After all that sticking it was three o'clock in the morning and Bronsen and I were done and tired. Who doesn't like to stay by themselves in a hospital?
Thanks Mom for hanging out & Thanks Jake for staying with me for the last two nights!!
Thanks for all of the visitors that came up there it was really nice and thoughtful!!
Here are a view pictures of our 4 night stay at the hospital:

Sorry, it was along night and "NO" sleep...No make-up!


Shh! He's Finally Sleeping...


Hangin out in my gown...


It only took a couple of days and I was back to Smiling!!


We stayed in room 219: Because I have been given much!!
Outside our room was this cute picture that I couldn't get over.
Hanging out with his stuff animals...



Just not to much after our hospital visit we went up to Spokane and while looking for housing Bronsen was sick again so I took him to the Argent Care up there and so off
I was to the ER for a Xray to see if he had Pnuemonia and sure enough he did.
So that took about 2 weeks to clear up and as of rightnow he is doing great. Cross My Fingers!!
Throughout this whole experience we change formals about three times and after all that we changed Bottles and Dr. Browns bottles works wonders!! No more Spitting up as much...

This has been a learning experience and I have been blessed.

Bronsen I'm so glad that I'm your mommy and get to see everything that you do first!!
I love you and stay better!!
