City Creek & the Temple!

We have been waiting for a good excuse to go visit the new City Creek Mall in Salt Lake and we decided that my friends birtday was the perfect opportunity. We didn't get many pictures because Abby was not feeling well again and the place was so crowded that it was hard to stop and get the kids posed cute...next time we will do it. There were so many fun places to take cute pictures. We visited almost every store..Tiffany's (of course), Coach, the game store...etc. We ate at Taste of Red Iguana and it was delish!! Most of the stores at this place are high end and there was security everywhere, but it was way fun to look at all the things we want and will probably never be able to afford!

We took a few minutes and walked over to Temple Square to see all of the flowers in bloom. It was beautiful!!! The kids had such a good time and we were able to take a few cute photos of my cute family!

Happy Birthday Jeni!!!

Easter...a little late!

Since Abby had been in the hospital, Easter came a little bit late at our house. The girls got their Easter baskets on Easter, but they didn't get to dress up in their pretty dresses until a week later. We had a fun little photo shoot in the poor lighting in the little hallway of our apartment. I found a new website for editing photos and decided to try it out. We hope everyone had a "Hopping" great Easter day. I am so thanful for these days that remind us why we are here and the miracle that was given to us by our Savior.

Abby's Trip to the Hospital

My poor Abby had been feeling yucky for a couple of days. She had a fever and was just miserable. She had not been her normal mischievious self for a couple of days and then we woke up on Monday morning and she would not let me out of her sight. She just wanted to be held and if I had to put her down she was right on my heels. I finally decided to call in sick to work and stay home with her. I took her in to the Dr. and they said that she just had a virus and sent us home. Two days later she was so much worse so Andy brought her to me at work and I left to take her back to the Dr. When they hooked her up to their machine that checks thier oxygen it was way low and her temp was way high. They gave her two consecutive breathing treatments, but nothing happened. Then they sent us to Orem Community Hospital to have a chest x-ray done to rule out pneumonia. All clear there. They hooked her back up to the oxygen machine and it was even lower and her temp had gone up a little. The decision was made that she needed to be admitted to the hospital so they could watch her close and give her some oxygen and fluids. Did I forget to mention that she hadn't eaten in days! We called the grandmas and the grandpa and they all came to meet us at Utah Valley Regional...acutally Grandma and Grandpa Boulter beat us there! Nana took Chloe home to stay with her while we were in the hospital and she was so scared. Chloe cried thinking Abby was going to die. We talked to her and explained everything that was going on and she ended up being ok. She is such a caring, sensitive sister. Andy and Grandpa gave Abby a blessing and then left to pick up some dinner. While they were gone the nurses came in to put in Abby's IV...not a fun few minutes. She hated it and they had to poke her 3 times. She was so dehydrated that her viens kept collapsing...3rd time was a charm though...thank goodness. I don't think I could have held her down for a 4th try. I stayed at the hospital with her over night and they finally had to put her on the oxygen around 1 in the morning. It was a miserable HORRIBLE night that I hope we never have to re-live. I was hoping they would send her home on Friday, but they were still a little worried about her so we stayed a 2nd night. By Saturday morning she was doing so much better and we were so happy to get out of there. She was so good the whole time...not happy, but good. I was really proud of her, and I was VERY proud of Chloe. She kind of got juggled around a little and had to spend Easter without us, but she did it! Needless to say we didn't get to do anything fun for Easter, but we are so grateful for all of our family that stepped in to help us out for these few days. We are very blessed!
