Garrett and Connor's surgeries

Well this week has sure been a tough one. Both Garrett and Connor had surgery this week. Connor had his tonsils and adenoids out and Garrett had his adenoids out. Both of them did not do so well with the anesthesia and threw up the whole day and night. After that day Garrett has ben doing great. Connor is slowly getting better. Nights are horrible because he wakes up with his mouth hurting and screams. Just a few more days and it will be all better. Garrett will be going back to school tomorrow. The rest of the family is good. We had sort of a weird week with the surgery and all. I did take the kids sledding this week and they loved that. It has been kind of nice to lay around and watch movies with the kids and let them recover. We got a good dose of High School Musical 3 and Madagascar 2. Well hopefully next week will be a easier one for us.

KYLIE

Kylie is getting so fun. She is now 14 months old. She can now say 9 words: No, yes, bath, Dumbo, Diego, ruff ruff, mama, dadoh (daddy) and uh-oh. She will stand for a few seconds but will still not walk. I am not in any hurry for her to walk though. She is already hard to catch when she crawls. This week she has been sick with a cold. Not much fun. Next post will be about the boys. They both have to have surgery next week so I will write more about that.

Happy 80th Birthday Grandma

Well I get in trouble from some people (you know who you are) if I don't update my blog so I guess I will update what has happened since we got back from Disneyland. Actually we must be pretty boring people because nothing new really happens. We had a Wii party with the boys and they loved that. We rented a few games and stayed up playing them as a family. We had pizza and banana splits and rootbeer floats and everything. It is hard playing Nintendo with Garrett though. I used to have to let him win and now I couldn't win if my life depended on it.

We also had fun watching the superbowl at Chelton's parent's house. Don't ask me who was playing let alone who won though (not a football fan). We did get in a good Scrabble match with my dad last week. We are kind of Scrabble nerds. When we go on vacation with my dad we spend hours and hours playing. Usually it just goes back and forth between Chelton and my dad winning but once and a while I get to win.

Just last Saturday we went to my grandma's 80th birthday party. It was nice to see all of my cousins and aunts and uncles. We sure don't get together very much at all. It was nice to see my grandma too. Happy Birthday Grandma!!!

Well in other news we will find out tomorrow if Connor has to have his tonsils out or not. That will be fun. I guess it is better to get them out now rather than later in life. Garrett is still having a good time in 1st grade. He is doing so good in reading, spelling, math and science. He comes home and tells me things I didn't know (I guess I'm not smarter than a 1st grader). Kylie just turned 14 months. She is getting so close to walking. She will stand by herself and sometimes takes a step but that is all right now. I guess it's her tiny size making her legs not strong enough but she sure is close. It is snowing hard today so that means Chelton is out plowing all day and all night. We love and also hate the snow at our house. Well I will try to update my blog weekly to you few people who actually look at it, even though not much happens here at the Spendlove residence. I guess if nothing happens it means nothing bad is happening either.
