3 day weekend!!

Hello out there!

First, here's a pretty picture of the flowers Jeromy brought home yesterday just cause. I love getting flowers "just cause".

Then we all got up really early this morning, we dropped Kent off at the bus stop at 6:40 am, then Jade, Jeromy and I all heading to Tacoma where Jade was having a test done at the group health out there. It was called a HIDA scan (Hepatobiliary scan) to see what's up with her stomach, it's more of an in depth test of her gal bladder that the ultra sound may have not been able to see.

And I took pictures cause I know you'd all want to see how Jade's doing... here she is in the waiting room waiting to be called back....

I asked the guy if I could go back with my daughter. And then he said Jade and her big sister come this way. And I was like "I'm the MOM!!"

Here's she' getting her IV, she almost looks excited, maybe cause she doesn't have to go to school today....

Now she's getting ready to go under the machine.... they injected her with some "stuff" and then they took pictures for the next 2 hours....

That's a long time for me to take pictures people!!! I think I got her at every angle...

I know it's just a minor test but it's weird seeing your baby in this huge machine circling around her....

Me rubbing her head, hopefully this test will tell us what's wrong with her stomach...

SWEET BABY GIRL!!!!!

Jade wasn't supposed to move for the 2 hours, did I mention she had to fast for this exam, too? Anyway since she couldn't move, Jeromy was so sweet, he held a book above her head and would turn the page when she was done reading it...

Here's a little video of the tech telling us what we're seeing on the screen, I couldn't make head or tails of it....

Here's Jade and I after her procedure leaving the hospital...

They had some cool bush sculptures decorating the outside, like this elephant one...

We got back home, got Kent from school, and then I took a 2 hour nap. Cause after working late last night and getting up early this morning I had a little less than 5 hours of sleep, and I'm not 20 anymore! I need my 8 hours at least, Jeromy jokes and says I need my 12 hours.

Then when we woke up (cause Jeromy crashed, too), it was still beautiful outside and Kent said we should go to the park.... GREAT IDEA!!

The kids grabbed their baseball gloves, and Jeromy got the bat, some balls & the frisbee.

Jeromy and the kids...

Here's some short random videos of us all playing... even ME!

Nice form....

Kenton... hitting the ball?

And my awesome kids...

I took the rest of the day off from work making it a 3 day weekend. Woo Hoo!

Have a great day!!
