Update!

So i am having the hole in my heart fixed on April 13th. If you are curious about it my doctors website is www.sorensenmd.com go to procedures and the first one in the list called PFO (Patent Foramen Ovale) Is my procedure so that is all folks!!

Adrea has lost 2 teeth since Jan and here are a couple of pictures of the monumental first one! She wouldn't go to bed until she got it pulled out!

Doctors!!

Well family and friends i have been visiting a lot of doctors recently to try and figure out some weird things that have been having happen lately. Well upon meeting with the neurologist and having an MRI, MRA, EEG, and an ECHO with a bubble done we have gotten some pretty good answers and leads....... So far we have found a hole in my heart and some abnormal brain activity. so i am meeting with the heart specialist to see how big the hole is and if we need to do surgery or ignore it! (They say 10% of the population has a hole and most don't even notice it)With the abnormal brain activity and the symptoms i am having they think it is seizures so i am starting my seizure medicine tonight. I am hoping some of the weird things will go away! Other wise we will have to change meds and i dont want to play that game. Also I have a small brain!! which should affect my coordination and balance but it doesn't so we think it might just be normal for ME! I know you should all tease me for having a little brain but think if it was any bigger i would run MORE circles around you all! :) Ummm i just dont know what else to say except all is well and i must say i love insurance!! Good Night and I love you all

Ummmm....

It has been sooooo long since i posted i dont even know what to say!! It is sad i have to load my pictures just to remember my last month!! Wow looking at the pics we really did a lot since the last post (that you know of!) Scott has Surgery in Jan. right before his birthday then he turned 28 and 4 days later i turned 26. so those are the pics you get to see!

Monkey!!!!!!

MONKEY!!!! Adrea's favorite toy from when she was little was this russ monkey that Grandma Gallagher bought her when she was only about 6 months old. I remember it exactly we were wandering the mall in salem/portland!! and we were in a little game type store and i let adrea pick an animal to carry around the store while we looked around and she picked the monkey. Well she loved it and help on tight the whole time so when we were getting ready to leave Grandma decided that the cutie needed to have it for her own! Hence the monkey was born. Adrea truly loved this monkey and slept with it every night alot of people never say it cause i was to scared to carry it every where for fear we would lose her love! Well this last summer Grandma Gallagher came to visit from MI so i decided to take the monkey with us to see her to show her the worn and loved animal......


As you can see that is the day the unthinkable happened... we went to the 24th of July fireworks that night and because we already had him with us, but who would think that a park full of people watching the fireworks would get soaked in sprinklers!!! so as we ran off the field we must have dropped monkey and cause Adrea fell asleep in the car we didn't know he was missing until the next night at bed time. so after we put the kids in their beds i went up to this secluded park to look for the monkey! (which those of you who know me well know i am scared of the dark or at least the people who hide in it!!) I must really love this girl and then the next morning we went looking for the monkey together! We found a live wild turtle but no wild monkey!!

So then began my hunt to find the replacement monkey so she would stop being sad every night and then on lovely Dec day we get a package in the mail from the one and only Grandma Gallagher!!!!! and what is in it, yes a brand new MONKEY!!!! exactly the same as the first one ya ya what a happy day (Shane got a cute frog too) Now our life is right again because we have monkey. No monkey doesn't have a name he is just monkey and i think i should just find 6 more to be prepared for the next one to get lost or worn out!! :) Thank you Grandma and Grandpa.

Capri-suns!!

I decided i wanted to make purses out of capri-suns to sell at the craft show after Stephanie and i made them in Arizona. Really i told her my idea and forced her to make them for me!! :) Weird thing is she jumped right in with me too! so she sewed us some great bags and i thought they would be great for the craft show so me and the kids started drinking!!! but after you drink them you have to wash them so shane and i proceeded to do that one winter night.

Food storage!!

Okay as so many of you know my husband is a bit of a paranoid man!! Nough said with that but we have been working on our food storage and decided we really needed some new shelves and we were sick of buying them to just fill with 40 cans so scott built a massive one that loads from the back and pulls from the front so we could rotate the cans easily!! Thank you Scott!! You are amazing and i love my shelves


Then Mister Shane was wanted to help me load so i let him and then he got tired and wanted to take my picture so i let him do that too!!

Big bed!

We finally let Adrea get a big bed we figured her head was touching one end and her feet the other i guess it was finally time!!!



We got the kids matching jammies for Christmas i think they are super cute so i had to share!!



This is one of Shane's first pictures where he tried to match something he was so proud of himself (so was i!!)
