On the Mend

Wow! What a month! I am feeling better today than I have for a month and a half. I had some problems with kidney stones last month, and it lasted forever. Just when I thought I was done passing them, more would come. Until one day......(dun dun duuuuuhhh!!!) One was too big to pass, so I had to go to a urologist and he had to go in and get it(sorry no pictures;). Pretty crazy, I am glad it is over with! Meanwhile, Shawn had strep throat, and Bridger an ear infection. I just wanted to say a big THANK YOU to all of you who helped us in any way during this past month. I am so blessed to be surrounded by people who care about us! I was in Idaho for part of the craziness, and my sister Linds took a couple of videos that I wanted to post. The first is Ryker singing his favorite song in the world..."Apologize" he would listen to that song all day every day if I let him, I love when he belts it out. As you can tell in the video, he is a little tired, and almost dozes off in the first chorus, but don't give up on him, he has a very strong finish! The second video is Bridger and his cousin Cyrie. They are only a couple of months apart, and as you can tell, Bridger loves her, and loves giving her kisses:) To view the videos, just click on the links below, and enjoy!

Okay, first of all Ryker singing Apologize is absolutely hilarious!! I was laughing so hard and just wanted to squeeze him! How did he learn that song so well?? It's amazing! Second, Bridger is getting so big and he better save some of those kisses for Claire! And last, I am so sorry to hear you have been down and out. I wish I were there to babysit for you or bring you dinner or movies or whatever the heck you want! Someday we will live in the same neighborhood to take care of each other...someday. And nope, we still don't have a house. :) Love you guys!

Okay, we have to figure out how to get to Utah... Mike and I keep brainstorming about it, and think that MAYBE we could swing it for Easter break...??? We're still crunching numbers, but after seeing those adorable video clips we SO want to come see you guys and the rest of the gang. I'm so glad you're feeling better! Love you guys!

I'm glad you guys are feeling better! That doesn't sound like a very fun month! It seems like there has been more going around this year then ever! At least for us-- we've been sick about every other week! Hope you continue to feel good!

I'm sorry you've had such a crazy month :( I hope you are doing better though! Your kids are so cute! I can't believe how grown up Ryker is!

We are so glad you are on the mend. I hope Shawn is recovering too. We had so much fun with your boys. Jax and Tav are coming to play today and the first thing Wyatt said was, "is Ryker coming too?" We miss you guys!

I am sorry to hear you and your family were so sick. I hope you are feeling better. I have heard that kidney stones are awful, even when you can pass them. Ryker is so cute. I had to laugh when I watched him sing apologize.

Taylor Family said...

I can't believe how well Ryker knew that song. Way too cute. I love when people put videos on their blogs. It just makes them so much more personal.

Jana said...

SO glad you're finally feeling better. Your whole family's been in our prayers. Loved the videos! That made up for Ryker not singing for me when we were down last month. Every time I hear that song on the radio I think of him. And I miss those juicey smoochies from Bridger! Take care and have fun with Mom and Dad!

Dana Williams said...

Been there, done that, and would honestly rather have another baby than pass another kidney stone. Thank goodness for lithotripsy. Have they figured out why you are getting them? I sure hope they do so that you can be done with them. Bless your poor achy body. By the way, your kids are too cute.

Megan! I'm so sorry to hear about kidney stones, and everything else! I'm glad you've recovered and are blogging again!

This post made my day with Ryker singing--he should be the next American Idol! He has my vote, and I'm sure Simon's too! :) I love that you bribe him with popsicles too! That was so funny! He knows those words better than me! And seeing him get himself dressed was so cute too! I could see pictures like that all day long!!

And Bridger with his kisses is just too cute for words! it looked like he was also trying to grab her hand at the end! He's gotten rid of the "girls having cooties" at an early age it looks like!
Love your fam, and LOVE YOU!

Shelby said...

I am so glad you are feeling better. We miss you guys. Could those boys be any cuter!! Love you.

Kidney stones? Seriously? Yuck, ouch and a tear for you! But I have to say that the last 30 seconds of Ryker singing is the best! I couldn't stop laughing! I love it!
