allergies + potent onion cut up for dinner =

why did I even put on makeup this morning?

RSV

Our RSV treatments look just like my treatments for pre-pneumonia when I was little. It seemed like every time I got a cold when I was little, I would have to do these breathing treatments so I wouldn't get pneumonia. The kids are doing well with them, but I have to keep reminding them to breath with their mouths and not their noses.

Easton went to preschool today and Keagan and I were able to go grocery shopping (the first time in a week and a half). And then we went for a walk to pick up Easton. I think I was more stir-crazy than the kids.

Easton is 4!

Well, another year has come and gone and Easton is 4. I can't believe he is that old, but yet sometimes he seems so much older and more mature than a four year old.

He has not had the best birthday today (in my opinion--I don't think he really notices it is weird). I took him to the doctor today because he has had a cough for a few days. RSV. Luckily, my mom has a nebulizer and we can do breathing treatments at home and won't have to take him to the doctor everyday. He did think it was cool doing the breathing treatment (he got to breath like a dragon). He had to miss preschool today and I guess he will for the rest of the week, so he didn't get to take cupcakes to share with his class, but his teacher said we could bring them when he is back.

Oh, my sweet Easton. You are a joy in my life and I am so grateful for you. You are a wonderful big brother (most of the time) and we love you so much. You are a sweetheart and I hope you will continue to be kind and caring to everyone.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY, EASTON!

Easton's Primary talk

Easton gave his first Primary talk last week and did so well. He was brave and did the whole thing with a little help from Mom. I was worried he would be like me and get too nervous to do it, but I guess he is more like his dad and public speaking is no problem for him.

The first principle of our religion is faith in the Lord Jesus Christ.

Jesus Christ is Heavenly Father's Son.

He created the heavens and the earth.

Even though he is God's Son, He suffered for all of us. He is our Savior. He suffered for us so we can be saved and live with Heavenly Father again. He suffered for us so we can live with our families forever. Because he died for us and was resurrected, we can be resurrected too.

President Gordon B. Hinckley shared his testimony once with some children: "Jesus is my friend. He is my exemplar. He is my teacher. He is my healer. He is my leader. He is my Savior and my Redeemer. His is my God and my King. Gratefully, and with love, I bear witness of these things."

I know that Jesus is my friend and I know that when I am sad I can think about Jesus and I don't need to be sad anymore.

I am so thankful for Jesus and I love Him and know that He loves me.

before and after

CHEESE!
