Dom's red mohawk or faux-hawk if you want to get really technical


I LOVE IT!!!! He does too, so that's what really counts. He had to sit under the dryer at the salon for about 30 minutes, and he wasn't too thrilled about that but once he saw it he completely forgot about the boring dryer moments :) He keeps worry that it's going to fall down or be washed out right away. He thought he couldn't wash his hair tonight, but I assured him that he had nothing to worry about and that we can spike it back up tomorrow just like Aunt Stephy did.

Kindergarten Gradutaion

It's official my little man is no longer a kindergartener :( We had his graduation yesterday. They sang some fun songs, and we went back to their classroom for cookies afterward. They had to go back today for their field day, but that's just a day full of relay races and games. I'm sure you all remember field day when you were in school. I uploaded these pictures backwards. I am having issues lately lol

Dom and his teacher Mrs. Quist...she was teary-eyed saying goodbye too all the kids :(

There they are walking back to their class for cookies

Yes that is my son standing up looking at me and not sitting down like he was suppose to be






I'm pretty sure he was suppose to be looking at the flag while they sang the pledge of allegance, but nope he was looking at me just like he did the whole time lol


Stayed tuned for pics tomorrow...we are taking him to get his hair done. My sister had this idea to do his hair in a red mohawk! Yes I am one of those crazy parents who doesn't care all that much as long as they aren't putting koolaid in it I'm ok with it. Red is his baseball teams color, so that's why she chose red. Also red is his favorite color. Anth's not to sure what it'll look like, but I think it'll be fun!

Dr Appointment

It's neverending I swear! Tasia's oxygen was a little low, but still in a range where they aren't concerned enough for her to be put in the hospital. The dr says her lungs sound a lot better then they did, so thank goodness for that! She decided that since she is done with her steroids she still wants her to be on something to help the breathing treatments get a little boost, so now on top of breathing treatments every 4 hours we also have to do an inhaler twice a day. She says if she starts to get better I can slow down the breathing treatments, but as of right now we are continuing all of this for another 3 weeks!!! As if things aren't crazy enough around here right. It is a small price to pay though for my baby girl to get better. Oh and I have to take her back on Monday again! Plus Dom has his follow-up Friday. I might as well rent a camper and sleep in their stupid parking lot!

Memorial Day weekend

We obviously didn't do much of anything this weekend with sick babies. It was a lot of giving meds and doing breathing treatments. As I figured the excitement of something new with the breathing treatments has worn off for Tasia, so she now cries and protests everytime we have to do it. We try to turn on cartoons or something to distract her, but she doesn't care. She just flat out doesn't want to do it. Hopefully her dr appointment goes well today, so we can cut back on her treatments too! We did rent a few movies to watch to keep us entertained this weekend. We watched Bedtime Stories with the kids, and I laughed so hard. It was a pretty funny movie! Then Anth insisted we watch My Bloody Valentine in 3D. I was completely freaked out! Scary movies are fun to watch, but I am a big scaredy cat so I spend the whole time clinging to Anth. So with it in 3D it was even worse!!! It's hard enough when people jump out in a scary movie, but to have them right in your face when they do is insane. Oh and I can't say I am a big fan of a pick ax flying at my head either!

A little update, but not much progress

Dom is doing better with his breathing treatments and meds. He is cut back to only every 6 hours on breathing treatments. I wish I could say the same for Tasia. I took her in today, and she is wheezing worse :( I thought they had given her an antibiotic shot yesterday, but apparently it was a steroid shot and today they gave her an antibiotic shot. This shot stung more, and was definitely more painful to her. They took her oxygen level and it was down to 85. Since they want it to be at 90 or higher they were concerned! They decided to do another breathing treatment in the office to and wait for her to calm down before they took her levels again. She cried during her whole breathing treatment, because of the shot. They said they like them to cry though, because they get more of the mist into their lungs that way. After her treatment they took her levels again, and this time it was up to 93 so they weren't as concerned. They did tell me to watch her, and she starts struggling to breathe or I feel like she is getting worse to take her to the ER. I also have to take her to the dr again on Tuesday, so they can check her progress more then.

Sick, Sick babies :(

Dominic and Tasia have both had a little bit of a cough for the last week or so. It wasn't too bad, and wasn't accompanied by any other symptoms so Anthony and I thought it might just be due to allergies. The last day or so it has gotten worse. Then last night both of them coughed to the point of puking, and I decided it was time to get them in and it's a good thing I did! They both have upper respiratory infections, and my poor little Tasia has pnuemonia in her right lung :( The dr said she sounded horrible and wanted to get a jump start on getting her better, so they did an antibiotic shot right there and a breathing treatment. He listened to her again, and confirmed the pnuemonia. I was sent home with a nebulizer to do breathing treatments on both of them every 4 hours. Tasia had her 2nd one an hour ago. Dom will have his 2nd one in an hour, so I am doing breathing treatments every 2 hours between the 2 of them. Plus they were both sent home with antibiotics and steriods. I walked out of Walmart with a big bag full of prescriptions. Tasia has to go back into the after hours clinic tomorrow, so they can listen to her and see if she's doing any better. Then they both have to go in next Friday to be rechecked. Hope all of you have a better weekend then we'll be having lol Also Anthony is going to the dr at 6 tonight, because he has never gotten over his supposed sinus infection and we are concerned his might be pnuemonia too. Not to mention the fact that he needs to have his ribs checked, because he thinks he cracked one from coughing too hard. Here are pics of my sick little kiddos doing their breathing treatments.....


Tasia has medicine all over her, because she decided she didn't like the taste and spit out all over herself and the floor


They only thing they cared was that they got cute dinosaur masks instead of plain ones, but they were both sad that the nebulizer they gave us is just plain black and not a train one like they had at the dr's office.

Rose Springs Elementary Dance Club

Sydney joined her school dance club, and last night was their first performance! She did really good and I am so proud of her. They showed us some different techniques they learned during class, and easch age group did a dance the teachers taught them. I put these pictures up all wrong, but I am having a rough day so you'll just have to deal with it lol
