Tyra’s car seat has been upgraded

Well we finally upgraded Tyra to that new car seat we got her awhile ago. We have been trying to get her to learn out to buckle her own seat belt and she just hasn’t been able to get it. So I weighed her and she was close enough to 40 pounds that I just switched the carseats for her. So now she can buckle herself, which she still has difficulty with, but she CAN do it.

Kindergarten Pre-Registration

Well I took Tyra down to the school today, and got her pre-registered for Kindergarten! Basically all we did was fill out the new student form and they made a copy of her birth certificate, then they gave me the packet of papers I need to fill out and bring back in August for the official registration. But Tyra was really excited that we were registering HER for kindergarten. She actually thought that she would be starting today, but I had to tell her she won’t be starting until after the baby is born. 😉

Ear infection :(

Well we missed family home evening last week because Kyle wasn’t feeling well, and Wednesday I had a meeting to go to, so we were just planning on doing the lesson today. Well after dinner, we were getting the kids in pjs and were going to go have family home evening right after that. But Dinah wasn’t feeling well at all. She was coughing and had a runny nose, and hadn’t eaten hardly anything all day (we fed her, she just wouldn’t eat) and it turned out that she had a fever. So Kyle decided it was time to call the after hours doctor, and they said to bring her in right away. So we told the kids to get their blankets, and we loaded them up in the car (hoping that they would fall asleep on the drive and that would make bedtime much easier). The clinic was in Provo and we rushed down there to get there before they closed for the night. We got there with about 20 minutes to spare, and Kyle took Dinah in. The doctor listened to her chest and said that it didn’t sound like she had RSV, and checked the rest of her out, and found an infection in her left ear, poor thing. 🙁 So he gave her a prescription for amoxicillin, and we headed home. Every Rite Aid and Walgreens we passed were closed! (I thought they were 24 hour pharmacies, at least they used to be). And finally we noticed one of them had a sign saying that the nearest 24 hour Walgreens was down in Provo. We were just down there! So frustrating. We ended up coming home and giving Dinah some Ibuprofin to help ease the pain through the night, and in the morning I will be making a trip to a pharmacy.

Duct Work

We have heating and a/c ducts in the basement! We have been working on the basement for quite a long time now. Kyle isn’t home very much and we have been working on coming up with the funds to be able to finish the basement. The framing is almost done, and has been almost done, for over a year now. Well a friend from our ward does duct work for a living and Kyle talked to him and he was more than happy to help. So he came over and looked at our basement, then went out to get the supplies, and today he came out to install all the ducts. I am so excited. 🙂 We are just one step closer to having the whole thing finished. It’s still going to take awhile to get it finished, but we are closer and that’s what makes me happy.
