Sick Week!!!



So this last week has not been that good at our house. First, I got really sick with a nasty viral infection, then we found out that Payton had pneumonia (poor little guy), then Reed got sick with the same thing I did. Needless to say this last week has not been the best. I think that we visited the doctor everyday last week and it's continuing into this week too. Today I found out that I have another ovarian cyst and Payton had an ultrasound on his carotid artery in his neck but luckily that turned out to be ok, it's just how he was built.
We did find out some good news about Reed's back though, and hopefully we can get him fixed. The doctor thinks that he might have a back fracture, and if that be the case then he can do a procedure that will help a lot, so we are crossing our fingers. He also is getting a steroid epidural in his back in a next week and we're hoping that that helps a little.
We are grateful for great doctors who take such great care of us though and for the wonderful love and support we get from our friends and family. Thanks guys, we love you!!!!

Happy 30th Birthday Reed!!!!

Happy Birthday Reed!!!!! I can't believe that Reed is the big 3-0, it seems so crazy, what is even more crazy is that I met Reed 9 years ago. I love Reed so much and can't imagine my life without him. He is such an amazing man, husband and father. I feel so lucky that he is mine!!!!
On Sunday we had some family and friends over for cake and ice cream, I wanted to make a big deal out of his 30th birthday, thank you to everyone that came, it is always fun to get together. Today Payton and I brought Reed some balloons and lunch to Reed, and we decorated to house with 30 hearts saying all the reasons we love Reed and we got Costa Vida and had a nice night at home as a family, it was so much fun. We love you babe, thanks for all that you do for us, happy birthday!!!!!

December Update

I'm sorry that I am so bad at this, I guess I'll be lucky to get in monthly posts, I'll try to be better. Here is what happened in December. We had a great month, we got to spend a lot of time with our family & friends which is always fun. We had our annual Sargent family Christmas party which is always fun and nice to see everyone. We he Sal and the kids come over and my mom & sister watched the kids while Sallie and I went out shopping, we had so much fun. My mom had a big Birthday and we went to Texas Road House for a yummy diner. For craft day we made watches, they turned out so cute. Payton had his first preschool Christmas Program, it was fun, they did a play and his part was "Every year we make cookies and hang our stocking, we wait for Santa, but he never comes" and he did so good, I was proud of him. We had a couple of Doctor's appointments (like usual) we took Reed up to a new back surgeon in Salt Lake, it went well and we are waiting for results for his CT scan and Bone scan, we are crossing our fingers for an answer and some help. Payton & I both got sick with sinus infections and bronchitis, he also had an ear infection, thank heavens for antibiotics and cough syrup. Payton also hurt his leg between his knee and hip, on New Years Eve he wouldn't even move, which if you know Payton is not like him at all even when he is super sick he still tries to be happy, so we knew something was wrong. We took him to the Instacare on New Year's (staring the year off with a bang of course) and they did an x-ray, luckily it was not broken but they thought that he had a deep contusion in the muscle or bone, so they wrapped it up and told us to come back if it was still hurting in a few days. It has been really weird to have him actually sit and not be running around like crazy. We hung out with Jess and Sal, we always have so much fun and laugh a ton. On New Years Eve we we got to hang out with my family, we played a couple of fun games and ate yummy food, thanks mom and dad for such a fun night!!! I can't believe how fast the time is flying by and that it is already 2010!!!!!

Merry Christmas!!!






This year we had a great Christmas, we had so much fun and it was nice to be with family and friends. We had our annual Kennington Christmas Eve party, we missed it last year because we were in Hawaii, so we were happy to be back. We get together and have dinner and exchange gifts and play "the game" it is always so much fun. This year Reed and I walked away with a nice drill with drill bits and a nice toaster, it was a blast, thank you Kirk and Karren for such a fun night!!!
Payton had a sleepover in our room so that Santa could come, daddy went out to make sure Santa had come and he did. Payton was so cute he got a big boy chair, games, a guitar, clothes, a sled, kinex and a trio box, but what he really wanted was a four-wheeler but it wasn't under the tree. It was so cute he said "see mommy I didn't get a four-wheeler and I'm not even crying", and the whole time you could tell that he was really disapointed but was trying to be so tuff, it broke my heart. Luckily the very last gift was a box wrapped for Payton with a poem inside that said that there was one more big gift waiting for him, and sure enough when he went upstairs there was his big red powerwheels four-wheeler, his face was priceless.
We had such a great Christmas and we even got to talk to uncle Mark, only 7 more months!!!! Thank you to everyone for everything, and especially thanks to my sweet Reed and Payton, I love you!!!!!
