So, today after pulling some weeds in the back yard for a half an hour I decided to take Katelynn over to Target to check out their toy clearance they have going on right now. It is definitly hit and miss of what you might find in the clearance but I bought $160 worth of toys for only $42. I got some Christmas presents for Katelynn, I know, she already knows what she is getting since she was with me, I am such a bad mommy! And some Birthday presents. I thought I was doing pretty good until I was putting the toys in the car and Katelynn was playing with the keys. She was hitting the buttons and I didn't know which ones she was pushing since she pushed it multiple times. I put her in her car seat put the keys in the front seat, closed the doors to put the cart away and then it came, the beep that all the doors were locked and Katelynn was in the car.
Great!
Panic for a milisecond and then call Ben since he was working in Clovis today. He was in Clovis and was near the house. So, he went and got his keys from home and then came to Target to unlock the doors.
Katelynn was in the car for 17 minutes. I am just glad that it wasn't the hottest part of the day and when I put her in the car I gave her her sippy that she drank all of while we were waiting. So, she was hydrated. She didn't even care that she was inside and I was outside. There was no crying or screaming. Just her staring at me through the window wondering why I wasn't getting inside!
So, how was your day?

Strep Throat
Last Saturday the 17th I was at work while Ben was at home with Katelynn the day was fine and everything seemed fine until she kept waking up ALL NIGHT LONG. She started sounding congested throughout the night and by morning she was draining like a faucet. We were up for the day at 5:30am. We all stayed home from church as we were all beat from the night and runny noses don't belong at church. She slept for an hour that day and had a fever up to 100.3F. We were hoping for a better night and she did sleep better but I didn't since I was worried about her not being able to breathe well. We were up again at 5:30am but she had a better nap and wasn't as drainy, so, I thought we were doing better. Nope.
Tuesday morning she woke up with a hoarse voice and I made an appointment with the ped for Wed, they were booked for Tues, I knew I needed to get here checked by Wed since I was working Thursday and I didn't want her to get worse for the babysitters.
Wed I took her in an she was positive for strep throat. I don't know where or how she got it since she isn't around that many kids or even adults besides Ben and I. So, she started on antibiotics and she is better now and doesn't have a hoarse voice anymore and isn't draining any where near as bad as she had. I am just glad that we have medicine available to help her feel better.
I hope you all had a better week.

Share the Story with your child about a cherished object from the past.
At Grandma B's there are two end tables. They were filled with JcPenny and Sears Catalogs. We always loved looking through the catalogs and seeing the new clothes for school and looking at the toys that were coming out this year too. Sarah, Becca, and I were always playing with these chests. We would dump everything out of the chests and play hide and seek in them. We would use them for our forts and a place to put our feet up.
Grandma still has the chests. They had been filled with photographs for years until Grandma and Grandpa took a few weeks and filled a few photo albums so they are now empty. Now the Grandkids play with them. They were such a fun part of my childhood.
Here is Lily and Katelynn playing on one of them.

Couch and a video
Katelynn learned how to climb on to the couches this weekend and she is so proud of herself. She gets up there and starts giggling and bouncing everywhere. There have and will be a few crashes, mostly hurt feelings. She is also leaning over the couch arms and reaching for her books.
She can also stomp her feet on command and loves when we all join in.

Fourth of July Weekend
For the Fourth of July Weekend we decided to take a trip to San Clemente. The drive down was pretty HORRIBLE it took almost 8 hours with a dinner break and a short shopping trip. We were doing pretty good until the shopping stop we shouldn't have done that since it was at peak LA traffic time when we got back on the freeway. We probably would have done much better with time if we didn't stop. I also don't think we will go stay over there again. It was nice but the driving through LA wasn't worth it. Santa Barbara is just at nice and the traffic is not as bad.
The best part of that night was that since she was so extremely tired she became psycho baby and didn't want to go to bed. She fell asleep at 10 and woke up at 11 screaming and wouldn't stop. She didn't have a fever, or show any signs of being sick. she wouldn't have any milk or take her binky. We finally went for a drive and she fell asleep immediately. We all got back to bed in the hotel room at about 1am. It was a great night! (Yeah, Right)
Katelynn and I were only at the beach for a couple hours and again I forgot her beach toys so we played in the sand and the rocks. Ben went body boarding. We ate some lunch and Katelynn was ready for a nap. So, Katelynn and I went back to the hotel for a nap and Ben met up with Micah and body boarded together until 5. Jennifer, Micah, Matthew, Ben, Katelynn and I all went to dinner together and then we were all ready for the night to be over and for Katelynn to get a much better nights sleep.

Saturday we decided not to go to the beach again since Ben was beat from boarding all day Friday. So we made our way to Caleb and Heather's to stay a night with them and catch up with them. We went swimming there and Katelynn had a great time in the pool. She was also checking out all the bark and everything else in the yard that she shouldn't be playing with.

We left early Sunday morning to get home and go a little recoop. We had dinner at Beth and Kevin's and Katelynn was ready for bed early. So, we called it a night and she didn't see one firework again this year. I would rather have a sleeping baby than a psycho crying tired baby.

Baby Love Letters #138
Tell your child what you love about your Country.
I love the freedom that we have here to be able to be who we want to be and do so many things that we want to do. Not to be told what we have to do. I grateful that I was born in America and raised in a family that also cherished being American. I love that I am able to worship how I choose and not be forbidden or chastised so much that I am unable to practice the religion that is so dear to my life.
I love that I was able to go to school and be educated in Nursing. I am ever so grateful for that freedom of education for all citizens.
I am grateful for the men and women that have fought for my freedom and that do all that they can either in politics and in the defending our country to keep all of our families safe. Even for me to be able to write this letter to you I have to have the freedom of speech and that freedom comes from so many that have served and fought for our country.
I love The United States of America, the land of the free and the home of the brave. One nation under God.

The Island
Sarah has season passes to the Island and so with her pass I can get in cheaper and Katelynn is free. So, a few weeks ago we all went. We thought that it opened at 10 nope it's 11. We hung out for 20 min before they let us in. Katelynn had a great time the only problem was that Katelynn can't ride any of the rides, even with an adult she has to be I think 48", she is close to that but not quite. Maybe next year. So, we stayed in the kiddie pool area and went down the lazy river, ate some lunch and came home for nap time. We wouldn't be able to stay all day there she would go bananas.

Our pool
After thinking about this for a week back in June we decided to get an above ground pool. It is 12' x 33". It is a nice size for everyone to have fun in.

Stroller Time
The one toy that Katelynn loves when she goes over to Tara and Brynne's to play is their stroller. She just loves to race back and forth across the living room with it. So, Tara and Brynne went through all of their toys and decided that they were too big for stollers and so they gave it to Katelynn. SHE LOVES IT!!! I put some electrical tape on it so it wouldn't fold up all the time as she was racing around the house. She also doesn't like to put anything in it. If we put a baby or stuffed animal in it she looks at it walks around to the front and tosses it on the floor. Soon she might want a baby in it.
Scratches Bumps and Bruises
This week Katelynn has gotten more bumps and bruises than ever. Wednesday we were out in the front yard I was doing yard work and she was roaming around checking everything out. At one point I looked back at her and she was headed for a palm tree leave that had fallen and I went back to cutting roses. Seconds later she was screaming and crying with a huge scrap up her arm so that was the end of yard work for the day.
That same day while I was cooking dinner she learned how to push and then climb up onto the kitchen chairs. She was looking at something on the kitchen counter then leaned over to grab something and fell off the chair getting a huge goose egg on her forehead.
This morning Ben put her on our bed to play and her ran to the window at the head of the bed and hit the window sill with her top lip and got a fat lip. Somewhere in between she also got a scratch across her left eye brow and I don't know how that one happened.
She learned how to climb up onto the couches today and she is so excited about that one since daddy usually keeps the remotes on the top of the couches. I guess we will have to put them away now.
