What a wonderful day!
Kevin blessed Lana today at his parent's house before Oliver's baptism. My family came (most of them traveling 45 min-1 hr) and my Grandma Goodman came, too (Matt Henage brought her down from Salt Lake where she's staying with Jeannine). I was extremely sad that my dad got called back to Farmington and had to leave yesterday morning at 4:30. I missed having him there and I know he was sad to miss it. I am grateful to the rest of my family for sacrificing their Saturday to be there. (And Kevin's family, too but the Doyle's also had the baptism!)
The blessing was beautiful. I asked Kevin is he gets nervous giving blessings. He said not really beforehand, but a little nervous as he's actually giving the blessing. I know he has prayed and thought specifically about Lana and the blessings our Heavenly Father wants her to have. He did a great job giving the blessing and she was quiet and content! My grandma complimented Kevin saying it was one of the best blessings she's heard.
My little Lana Grace is a special little girl. She has a sweet spirit about her and she has filled our home with joy. My heart is overflowing with love for her and I often have a tear in my eye because of that love that she has brought to me. I know my Heavenly Father loves me and her and He will help me in raising her to be an amazing little girl!
She looked absolutely beautiful in her blessing dress.

FLu, Worms and Movie
I've had a sore throat for several weeks now. In fact, it came on while Kevin was in CA for his costume competition. It's never gotten very bad, it's always just there. So I was telling that to my mom on Wednesday and that night while talking to Kev on the phone it started to hurt more and more to the point I didn't want to talk. Thursday morning I woke up aching everywhere, a head ache, a throat so sore I couldn't swallow. I spent the day mostly in bed and tried to avoid breathing on my kids as much as possible. Charlie texted to see if Asher could play. I'm not sure if my mom told him I was sick and suggested he take Asher but I was grateful. Amy came and picked him up and he was so excited. I'm pretty sure he and Tyce had been watching tv most of the day!
Tyce was napping so I just put Lana in bed with me and we took a nap until Rylan came home from school. It was my week to drive for music so we picked up Josh (Callie's mom texted me to tell me Callie wouldn't be going this week). I dropped the two boys off at music class and came home for a brief few moments of resting. I picked up Asher from Gavin's house and then picked up the boys from music. Once home, Ry finished his homework, they played on the computer a bit, I fed the boys quesadillas for dinner, and I tried to get them in bed early so I could go to bed. (I ate an orange before picking up the boys from music and had a piece of toast for dinner.) I was in their room nursing Lana and asked Tyce several times to get in bed. He would just look at me and say 'no'. So frustrating! I was sick and low on patience and done for the day. When Lana was finished eating I grabbed Tyce and spanked his bum and put him in bed. He looked at me with the saddest look on his face and I was crushed. I wanted to just lay down and cry, feeling bad as well as sick. I apologized to him but had a talk on how he needed to obey, it was bedtime, and we all need to work together to be a happy family. I cuddled him a bit and the boys all finally went to sleep.
Since most my day was spent in bed I had some clean up I needed to do before I could go to sleep myself. I tried to work fast and hard but before I knew it it was 10:00. By the time I got ready for bed, fed Lana, talked to Kevin and crawled in bed, it was nearly 11:00. I was so ready to sleep!
Friday morning I woke up feeling a bit better. My body still ached but not as bad. My throat was still super sore but I felt like I was on the mend and could tackle the day. Rylan got off to school and I got Tyce and Asher to play while I did some clean up. I had lots I wanted to do before Kevin got home! Elizabeth had cleaned our house on Monday after he left so I wanted it to feel clean to him when he got home. I was expecting him around 2:00. The house was feeling pretty good so I thought I'd vacuum and shower just in time for Kevin to come home. I was vacuuming our room when I was startled by "Bonjour!" and turned around to see Kevin! YEA!! I was so excited he was home...but embarrassed that I hadn't showered yet. He commented on the clean house and briefly talked about his time in CA. I told him Ry was hoping to go to Hang Time but had also mentioned earlier in the week he wanted to go to the movie. He wanted to see "Free Birds" but I don't so I suggested to Kev we take the boys to Despicable Me 2 at the SF theater. We thought it would be good to go earlier, 4:30.
So back Monday night, Tyce woke up crying and as I was trying to get him back to sleep he kept saying 'ouchie' and holding his bum. I took off his diaper but didn't notice anything strange. I was trying to hold him but he'd flex his bum and go stiff. He'd start to fall asleep and then go stiff again and start crying. He eventually went back to sleep. I mentioned it to Kevin and he said Tyce had done that to him last week. I told my mom and she said "I hope he doesn't have worms". WHAT??!! So I googled it and was convinced he indeed had worms. Gross! So after talking more to Kevin about it once he was home, I called the doctor's office. They said they could call in a prescription for me without a dr visit if I knew it was worms. So...I went to Costco to grab a few things along with the prescription. It wasn't filled when I got there since Tyce has never had a prescription filled at Costso so they were waiting on me to fill out forms...I didn't know that. Then when it was done the lady asked if I knew it was going to be so expensive--$202.00! Holy Cow! The insurance had only paid $18. Ummmm, no thank you. I checked out and called the dr office again asking for a different way to get rid of the worms. As I was walking out of Costco a lady stopped me and said "I was standing behind you at the pharmacy and thought 'That girl is so cute'. So I just wanted to tell you that you are just adorable." That made my day!! What a nice lady!
I also called the insurance co to see why they wouldn't pay--we haven't met our deductible yet. (Unfortunately we had bills to pay that I hadn't paid on. Had I paid them all we would have most definitely reached our deductible then the prescription would have been way way cheaper :( I didn't realize that until later.) This all took too long and we missed the 4:30 show.
The boys were fighting when I got home and Asher was still ornery and crying when we got in the car. I was tempted to cancel the movie all together and go to bed early! But Kevin is nicer than me so we forged ahead. We went to Wendy's for a quick dinner and then went to the 6:00 movie. It was so good! The last few movies we've gone to Tyce has gotten bored halfway through, getting up and down in his seat. But he sat through the whole movie without making a peep! He loves those minions and often says "Beedo" which he learned from Minion Rush on our phones. I heard Asher laugh out loud a few times, too :) Lana was great and slept most of the movie. She woke up towards the end to eat and finished just as the movie was over. I thoroughly enjoyed the movie too, as did Kevin and Rylan, I'm sure!
The boys got ready for bed once we were home. It always takes awhile to actually get them in bed, asleep. Kevin and I watched some tv before we went to bed ourselves.
