Broken Computer and BIG CHUNKS

So our laptop is fried. Saturday something happened and in a moment nothing would work. We took it into the shop on Monday praying that they could retrieve stuff off the hard drive. No luck.....they have sent it away and now will have a nice pricey bill and hopefully they can get stuff off the hard drive. I am killing myself because all my pictures......all my kids' pictures that I stupidly did not upload to another source are all on that computer. Brent and I realized just how priceless these pictures are and so we're willing to pay an arm and a leg just to see if they can retrieve the pics. I'm praying so hard to have this guy know what to look for and that he can actually do it.
Amongst all this mess Brooklyn woke up Monday morning puking. Poor girl she was throwing up so hard and it broke my heart. I would cry with her as she was throwing up so hard. I remember all to well what throwing up like that feels like and to see my little baby go through that broke my heart. After 7 hours of hard painful throwing up my Brookie finally got relief and bounced back to being normal so quick! Then last night what do you think happened.....Yep, Carter was throwing up. Luckily he was tossing and turning in bed moaning and I knew it was coming so I got the bowl and some towels. Carter woke up....this was like 1:30 in the morning. Brent I were still awake......reading someone's blog and crying our eyes out (thanks Sonia)..........so we gladly cuddled carter.....he thought he was hungry so we into the kitchen and spew it was all over. Up and down the walls chunks everywhere and Poor Brent got to be the lucky one holding him. Thank goodness it was in the kitchen. We hung out in the kitchen a while, while i cleaned and bleached the kitchen just enough time for carter to do it again, thankfully he got it all in the bowl. We all decided to try to get some sleep and it is now early morning and we didn't wake once with Carter the rest of the night. He is still asleep and I'm praying he feels lots better. We've got to go to Twin tonight. We are going to the Temple open house on Thursday and Brent's parents and sister's family is coming into town. YEAH hopefully we are well enough to enjoy a great visit and no more bugs in this house. I better get going as I want to disinfect everything to get rid of this bug for good! If you all want a good read, a good cry and to change your perspective on life/parenthood/son-daughter of god then go get your Daily Scoop.
You will have to read back into the may and June posts to find out what happened. My sister-in-law referred us to the blog and we read for hours and I look at parenthood so differently now. Anyway we hope all is well with everyone. And soon there will be pictures to post on here. Love to all!

Happy 4th of JULY

We made it back on Twin on the 3rd of July to celebrate the 4th with my family!. We had tons of fun and the fireworks were great! Carter and Brook both fell asleep half way through. Carter tried so hard to keep his eyes open but failed. Kids totally make the fireworks so much more exciting. Carter was so amazed, and he kept saying oh WOW at each one and would tell me what it looked like. I remember doing that as a kid and picking my favorite one. Brooklyn was just struck by silence when the fireworks started and didn't move until she fell asleep. It was such a gorgeous night and so relaxing!
I am so bummed because I thought we took lots of pictures on the first but it turns out we didn't take a single one. We only did video. So I'm trying to figure out how to get still shots from video. So stay tuned for some video footage and hopefully some pics.

Happy Canada DAY for all those canadians

Ok so I am late on posting but oh well. We were in Canada for a week and celebrated Brent's 10 year high school reunion......great fun. We were also there for the 1st which for those of you who don't know it is Canada's birthday and Raymond's (the town where Brent is from) birthday. We got to enjoy a nice parade and we watched the fireworks from the window. The kids were asleep since they can't start the fireworks until it's completely dark which is around 11:00...too late for my kids. Carter had so much fun with his cousins and with Grandma Helen and Grandpa Jim. Thanks for making it such a great visit!
