grandma and grandpa

abby is so funny, she loves grandpa. i think it probably makes my mom feel bad, but whenever my dad walks in the room she will walk past anyone and say grandpa with her arms out ready for him to pick her up. she doesn't care about anyone else being there when he walks in. its great that she loves him so much. my parents were over the other night and we were just about to put abby down and as you can tell i had just taken her hair out of the piggy so its kind of crazy, but we just all talked and hung out for a while. it was great to have them over.

play time with jake

we have my cousin jake staying with us from alaska, he likes to play x-box and abby just loves to sit with him and pretend shes playing. really anything he does she wants to do. its funny, she follows him around and just wants to play and most of the time he could just care less about her, but i think shes starting to grow on him.

an afternoon at primary childrens

So abby has been getting sick a lot lately and the doctor decided that they wanted to go to primary childrens hospital and take an eeg test to see if there happened to be another reason that she had a seizure. so when they take the test, they have to be sleep deprived so we had to put her to bed late and get her up early and she couldn't fall asleep at all during the day or the drive up, which for abby driving and sleeping is usually a great combination so it was a challenge. luckily i had my mom and dad there for help. they were nice enough to go with me and help keep her awake and be there for some moral support, it was great.

so they had to hook her up to a bunch of things on her head so that they could test the brain waves while she sleeps. it was sad but she did such a great job. we wont know anything for a week but hopefully all is good. thanks to everyone for the support and help with abby.

time is precious

so i got another glimps at just how precious time really is, everything can change in a matter of moments and we cant take anything for granted.
sunday night my family and i got together to go over to my parent store that they own and rent some movies and grab some stuff that we all wanted, and everything was good. abby has had a fever for a couple of days and she just wasn't feeling the best but we decided to take her with us just to get out of the house a little.
when jeff and i were done getting what we wanted we decided we should probably take abby home because she just looked like she didn't feel well. so we went out and got her in her carseat and were waiting for my cousin jake to tell us weither he was coming with us of with natalie while we were waiting abby started to shake a little and i thought she was cold, so i went in the back seat next to her and she only got worse so i told jeff we should take her to the urgent care and we left to go, a few seconds later she started shaking really bad and i could tell something wasn't right and she was struggling breathing, so i yelled at at jeff to call 911 and i took her out of her carseat and started back to the store, abby threw up on me and then went limp, she stopped breathing and i started freaking out, jeff was pounding on the door to get one of my family members to open it and we were searching for brint my brother in law who is a nurse and i knew was abbys only hope, luckily brint was the one by the door and let us in and i just handed her off to him and hoped with all my heart that he could save her, luckily he did and got her breathing again and we waited for the ambulence to come and it seemed like forever.
we then took her to the er and she stayed the night at the hospital and we took her home yesterday. i guess she just got to high of a fever to fast and the way her body fought if off was through a seizure and thats what happened. i have never been so scared in my life and wanted to help her out so much but was helpless. there was nothing i could do for her and i just wanted to make it all go away. i am so greatful to still have her in my life and i am so thankful to brint for helping save our little girl, i dont know what we would do without her in our home, shes so fun and we love her so much.
things are better now, we have to watch her temperature all the time but at least shes more of our little abby now.
so i am so greatful for every moment with her and with jeff and for how precious our time is together.

Christmas morning

So i posted christmas eve and then forgot about christmas morning but here it is, better late than never. we decided not to go to big for abby this year because she doesn't really know whats going on anyway but she loved what she got and just wanted to play with what she first opened and didn't realize there was more. we had a great day thougth, breakfast with my family at my parents and then we just had a fun day hanging out with family and enjoying another snow storm. (i think i am done with those.) i hope that everyone had a great christmas and new year!

Merry Christmas!

these santa picutres are the ones from our last christmas party but i didnt have my camera. as you can see abby is not one of santas biggest fans, but as a doll she loves him.

yesterday for christas eve the family came over to our house and we tied tubes up to the cars and went around the neighborhood, this last week we have gotten about a foot of snow so it was perfect. then we went over to mom and dads and had some dinner and exchanged presents and played games. i just love everything about christmas thats probibly why i cant sleep right now and im here blogging while my family is still sleeping! i hope everyone has a great christmas and i cant wait to see the picutres from it.
