These two pictures that I took on Sunday this is what the rash turned into in not even one day. By Saturday night this is what it looked like.

Okay so I hope this doesn't gross anybody out but I decided to blog about it anyway. For those moms who have gone through this I feel your pain and feel bad for your children. For those moms who haven't been through this I sure hope you don't have to experience it. It is horrible and I feel so bad! Apsen was running a fever all day long on Thursday but I thought it was because she was trying to cut teeth. Then on Friday after she woke up from her nap she had a slight rash on the right side of her face. Just a little bit I thought it was because that was the side of her face she was sleeping on. Then later on in the day I noticed a couple of red spots on her chest and belly. But I wasn't worried about it at all. But low and behold. I WAS WRONG!!! Saturday morning when she woke up to my surprise she was covered in a rash. I mean covered from head to toe. So I called the clinic after hours phone number and got a hold of the Dr. he told me to come in right away so of course I headed down. I actually had to go twice on Saturday I went in the morning and then I called back because the rash got worse and spread bad. So I went back late that night. She had a follow up appt. on Friday they tested her for strep and it was negative they told me everything looked good so I went home. Then when I went back on Saturday morning they did another strep test and it was positive so they gave her a shot. When I went back that night they did the test again and it was negative so they did some blood work and a couple of more test so I guess we will see what they have to tell me. But they discovered that the rash that she had was called a viral exanthem rash. It looks a whole lot worse than it really is but I feel so bad for her. It itches so she tries to scratch it all over her body. I have a few things I have to watch for to make sure it doesn't turn into some serious problems. But I sure hope it clears up soon and doesn't last forever. I hope you get feeling better Aspen. We love you!!!

Addilee's dance at SUU

I asked her to smile and this is what she gave. Thanks sissy =)

She looks so cute in her dance uniform.
Good Job!!!

Addilee danced at Southern Utah University over in Cedar City this week. She was so excited all week long for the day to come. I was hoping she would do good and she did considering how many people and a different place not really knowing where she was at and all. Plus they danced with all of her teachers dance students so that was a little strange also. She was turned around backwards for most of the dance. She had fun and that is all that matters. I love you Addilee you did so good. I am so proud of you.

Birthday Party for......... Patton and Aspen

Patton's dinosaur cake.

Aspen's teddy bear cake.


We had a birthday party for Patton and Aspen on Sunday with the family. Patton was so excited to open the presents and so was Addilee she wanted to help with all of them. Aspen of course didn't really care she is still just a little young to really know what is going on. I made Patton a dinosaur cake but it kind of turned out looking more like a lizard but oh well it's the thought that counts. I made Aspen a teddy bear cake and I think it turned out cute. We had a great time celebrating with family. The kids had fun playing and enjoyed each others company. It was lots of fun but I am so glad it is over. Thanks to those who came and supported us we really appreciate it.
