One full day at the E.R.

Does anyone want a sick family? Yes we have all been really sick in our family with an awful cold that is going around. Daya got the worst of it from when I had my doctors appointment last week. We had ended up taking her to the E.R. early Friday morning and they just said she had an upper respiratory infection. Well then by the time that we get checked out of the E.R. and then get her prescriptions filled it is the afternoon. Well we came home and took a nap and by the time that we both woke up she was in respiratory distress. We had to run her back to the E.R. and finally after three breathing treatments we were on our way to recovery. I was so thankful for my dad giving a priesthood blessing and for my husband wanting it. The pediatricion that was on call was wonderful and stayed with us until they got us on the floor and that was about 9:00 p.m., then she returned before 8:00 a.m. the next morning. I was very impressed with her and am thankful for heavenly sending someone who would know what to do with our daughter. She ended up having croup, and that has been one of the hardest things to kick I think thus far.
Well we are all trying to get better since we all seem to have caught different types of colds.
Well we love you all and miss all of you and hope everyone is feeling good!!!

Another Day In Paradise

Well what has been happening this week. Well Daya decided she needed a midnight snack...that would consist of some juice and dog food. My dad has been pulling the dog food in at night so the "night animals" won't help themselves to the food. I was so shocked, I couldn't believe it, I made her spit it out. We also had fun trip yesterday to Safford. On the way home we decided to get ice cream from Dairy Queen and Chris asked me if we should get Daya anything. I said sure, we can get her a dilly bar from D.Q. Well that was a nice trip home, about the time we passed Ash Peak, that was enough of the ice cream, it was every where. It's just been "another day in paradise."
I do have to say that I am loving it though! I just can't wait for her play Buddie to get here. I am patiently awaiting his arrival.
We are also so excited about tomorrow, and I will blog and add pictures from this week and also pictures from tomorrow all at the same time.
Love and miss all of you!!!!

Temple Blessings

Well I know a lot of you are anticipating the Gila Valley Temple!!! We can't wait, it was such an exciting experience to be able to watch the broadcast of the ground breaking yesterday and to be able to feel the spirit of all of those who were there, in this life and the life beyond. I just wanted to share that we really felt the spirit especially of my G & G Thygerson, that side of the family was really there. Let me tell you that this temple is going to be biggest blessing for our family. Our family goal with the help of our Bishop is to be able to be endowed once this temple is built and to be able to have our family sealed together for time and all eternity. This is one of the most exciting things that I have ever had an interview with the Bishop about.

I am thankful for a loving father in heaven who is forgiving and for the atonement that our heavenly father so gave us. I am thankful for second chances and the opportunity to do this side by side with my husband and grow together with him and see his changes as he grows closer to thee.

This next Sunday will be a great start to all of this. Chris will be receiving the Aronic Priesthood, and he is very excited. He thought that when he was baptized he was ordained along with it, but they is no record, and Bishop would just like to have it done the right way twice rather than to have it all taken away.

I am thankful for all of the blessings that our family has received and really do appreciate the examples in our ward that have helped friendship Chris. I am thankful for all of my family and friends also.

I guess you can say that I am kind of bearing my testimony. Well please keep us in your prays and we try to meet this goal!!! So here we go...eagerly awaiting the temple to be built so help us get the things done which we need to do to get to the Celestial Kingdom!!!!

Love you all!!! - Whitney

Pictures???

Okay I promised some pictures...hope you enjoy!!! They are at the bottom of the screen!!!!

Well...

Well we are having a boy!!! So we have a name already and are extremely happy with it. Chris is so excited, he just can't wait for him to come out. I would post a picture of the little guy except every time they take a picture of him, we are in the hospital and it really isn't a priority to give us one.
So this is what has been happening for the last couple of months. I have been in and out of the hospital in Silver City, NM at least four or five times. The finally took my gal bladder out on the 8th of January. That was a little scary for the baby, but they had someone doing fetal hear tones the whole time I was in surgery so I was grateful for that, and I had bot the Surgeon and my OBGYN in there also so I was comforted by that. Now the hard part is trying to recuperate from that experience. It really has worn me out, and still from time to time depending on what I eat it still makes me really sick.
Well last night we had the Claridge family over for Family Home Evening and it was really nice. Let me just say that it was one of the quickest ones that I have ever been to. It took a total of like 5-8 minutes. It was really fun though all of the kids participated and then at the end we all sang fun songs for Daya to enjoy. She really did love the "popcorn popping on the apricot tree," and "Jesus wants me for a sunbeam." She loves to the actions, it is just so cute.
Let's see, I guess I should say some of the fun things that Daya has been up to lately. She loves to "practice" the piano with her Papa everyday. He sets her up on the bench and she plays for a little bit and then she will reach up and turn the page like she has finished practicing. It is really quite funny. She also has been so active and getting into everything. She loves to walk around on her "tippy toes" and run as fast as she can. She loves to read books to her herself and she also has been a good mom to her babies (when she remembers).
Our family had a wonderful Christmas, we got to spend it here with mom and dad. It was nice to see family that came in spurts, but we Christmas a couple of times, but during that time of the season who can get enough right?
Well I have to go, but I will write again soon...I promise, and I will update with pictures soon also. Love you all and hope that everyone is doing well. We miss you all!!!

Bee Attack!!!

Okay so I haven't blogged in awhile...but how embarrasing is this. I was in the foyer yesterday at church. Running a little late of course, but we were there. Daya was walking by herself and I was carrying a crate with books and stuff that I needed to deliver for relief society. I all of the sudden felt something walking on my skin. Well then I really felt it, it was a bee and it stung me on my breast!!! So being as graceful as ever in pain I reach in and grab it and throw it out of my shirt. Everyone is looking at me like what the heck is she doing? I then screamed and told Elisa Wright to go and get my dad. Last time I was stung by bees I got really sick. So the stinger was still attached to me and dad so discreatly went ahead and got the stinger out. I went ahead and went in to fast and testimony meeting but then I decided I had better go home. I was glad that I did. I got really light headed and ended up sleeping from it. It was really weird. Well today that spot is all white and around it is red. So that was just a great thing to happen in church. So if anyone else gets stung by a bee, please remember to be a little more graceful than I was...lol :)!
