family update

Just wanted to give an update.
We have been pretty busy trying to get Chloe healthy, just over a month ago I took her in for her 2yr well visit appt. We tried a new pediatrician because I haven't been too impressed with other ones I have gone to. We really liked this one she actually listened to us! We have been concerned with her weight she is still only 21 pounds she has gained a total of 2 pounds this past year, she is a picky eater, we have also been a little bit concerned with her speech she doesen't seem to be talking as well as as most kids her age. So the pediatrician referred us to a dietician up at primary childrens hospital and to a program called Early Intervention. We went to both appointments the dietician pretty much wants us to get as many calories into her as possible she wants us adding butter to everything. She wants her to have her weight checked every month to see how she is doing, if there is no change we are going to try some meds that are supposed to help her appetite. At the other appointment they did some tests with her one of them was to check her hearing which she failed because she had a ear infection, so we got her on antiobiotics(this was at the beginning of the month) the ear infection never completely cleared up and this last weekend she had to go into the doctor again and get some more antibiotics but Sunday morning when she woke up we realized that her ear drum had to have ruptured so into the pediatrician again she said it was healing ok but to come in again in a week. On a positive note Chloe did qualify for Early Intervention, this is a program that a speech therapist will come and work with Chloe, we are excited that she will get this extra help now.

Kennedy is doing good, some how luckily Kennedy has been able to stay healthy this season. She is loving preschool, she is doing so well she is learning so much, she is reading a little bit she is such a smart little girl she has a special little friend at preschool that she loves to have playdates with. She is also loving primary class she loves singing time we have had neighbors tell us they can hear her singing over everyone else! We just found out this week that Kennedy got accepted to North Star Academy a Charter school here in Bluffdale she will be starting there in the fall for Kindergarten. Kennedy and Chloe adore each other they love each other so much. The first thing Chloe says when she wakes up is "Tennedy where are you" Kennedy is a protective big sister and helps out alot.

Justin is doing good too, his work has slowed down a bit. But of course he never slows down he is working hard on other marketing for the business. I am so thankful that he is such a hard worker and that he is so talented.

I am also doing good, just busy taking care of kids and a house. And when I get a minute I am making new hair things for the girls, making jewlery, I have even done a little sewing (curtains for the kitchen) and if im not doing any of these things I am shopping with my sister Mandy since she found out that she is having a baby girl she has gone crazy buying everything girly!

My Valentines!

I think Valentines is a fun Holiday, it comes at just the right time when we are tired of the snowy days and need a little pick me up, the flowers and breakfast were perfect for me this morning (thanks Justin) and the little valentine pages from preschool how can they not make you smile?? The heart shaped sugar cookies,pink frosting, and chocolate how could you not like this holiday?! Justin and I went out last night to a movie and tonight we are going with my sister Mandy and her family to fetal photo to hopefully find out what sex her baby is. Then we are going to Old Speghetti Factory for dinner! What is everyones plans? Just thought I would share some fun pictures of my Valentines. Hope you all have a fun Valentines with those you love!
