Swimming

Last night as we just finished cleaning up dinner Londyn brought out her swimming suit and swim diaper. She has been carrying her swimming suit around every night but last night she had the diaper and everything, she was serious! It was 7:30 and swimming ended at 9:00 so we decieded to hurry and go for an hour. I of course did not even think about getting in a swimming suit (the cartoon above is what I would feel like, ha ha). But my little sister Rielyn went and Grey of course is a great sport and was excited to take Londyn. When we got there Londyn was excited because they have a kiddie section with a big playground in about knee deep water. They also have a huge yellow slide that she went on twice! She was shaking the whole time and we dont know if she was cold (she is so skinny) or if she was just nervous, excited... But she loved it and we will go more often. Because it was a last minute decision and we were in a hurry to get ready I forgot my camera but next time I will take it and get some good pics.

P.S. I have to tell you something funny. Londyn was watching one of her shows yesterday morning and there was a small (really small) part where someone was on a skateboard. About a half hour later she was asking me for something and pointing to her feet. It took me about 10 min, she was getting so mad, but I finally figured out she was asking for a skateboard! It wasnt even a big part of the show but I guess it appealed to her. So now she has been asking for a skateboard. I think she is kind of a daredevil, oh no!

Can her belly get bigger than this? Yes!

My cute little girl is built just like my cute husband! She has skinny little arms and legs then a little potbelly. Look at those skinny arms! Two years old and only 22 pounds. The reason I bring this up is...I didnt think her belly could get bigger without the rest of her growing but Saturday night it happened. Here is a nerve racking story from a mothers point of view...
Grey was not feeling well and went to bed early. I went to bed around 11:00 and just as I was about to write in my journal Londyn started crying "mommy I want you" I let her cry for about 2 min thinking she heard me getting ready and wanted to get out of bed. Then her crying became one of pain. I went in and picked her up but she wanted to get down. When I set her down she was walking funny and still crying so I picked her up, went in our room and said to Grey " she is acting weird". I layed her on our bed and noticed her stomach was HUGE! It was really really tight around her pajamas and hard as a rock. Our first thoughts were- something internally is leaking, something is swelling, etc... As parents I think everything horrible ran through our heads. She was clearly in a lot of pain and nothing (not even her mom) could comfort her so we decided to take her to the ER. It was the longest drive to the hospital. when we got there I started to get the feeling "Do they think I am a paranoid mom?". It was troubling and comforting when the triage nurse was really concerned about the size of Londyn's stomach. They put us in a room and said they need the doctor to come in ASAP. Just before the doctor walked in Londyn threw up everywhere! I didnt know a little girl could hold that much but she immediatly felt better. However her stomach was still big (not as hard) so the doctor was still concerned and wanted xrays. The xrays came back and showed AIR! Thats right, Londyn had so much air in her stomach (stumped everyone on how) that the pressure caused her to throw up. The doctor said since she was not in pain anymore we could take her home, watch her and see if she can release the air on her own. It was a huge relief, I am so glad it was nothing seriouse but for a parent it was very scary (especially when the doctor and nurses were really concerned). That was a quick summary but we did not get home until 2am, it was a long night. But Londyn woke up the next morning and has been fine ever since. Her little potbelly is back to normal.

Anyway I decided to post more random pictures since blogging is boring without pics.

This is actually the little bed Londyn got for her doll but she loves to get in it with her babies.

My in-laws (Syd and Troy) with Grey and I at the temple when we took Duncan's name through.

Londyn in her Puma outfit and her Miche Bag purse. She is so stinkin cute! I never knew I could love someone so much!

Londyn is 2! Where does the time go?

Okay so this is my second attempt at this post and can I tell you that I hate posting pictures! I love having pictures on the blog and I dont like posting without them but I have problems everytime I do.
Anyway it has been way way too long since the last time I posted so I will catch you up on our lives and my New Years resolution is to post at the very least, once a week!
Christmas was great! I got a sewing machine and tons of sewing stuff. Grey got a silk screening machine and an ipod. And Londyn was spoiled, to say the least. We got her an old spring horse I found on KSL. She LOVED it! Greys parents got her the cutest little kitchen, it is way nicer than most regular kitchens I have seen with fake hardwood floors and granite countertops. It came with pots and pans that make boiling and frying noises. It is so cute and she absolutly loves to make "food" in it. My parents gave her some very cute clothes, a monkey backpack that she carries around all over, toys, etc... We had a great Christmas.
Two days after Christmas (Dec. 27th) it was Duncan's birthday so we took his name through the temple and did his temple work. It was a great experience and it made us all feel calm and comforted.
Okay, more recent news... Londyn is 2!!!

I cant believe it, she is getting so big and is becoming a little adult. She has always loved to be outside and this year has been fun with the snow, so we decided to go sledding for her birthday. We invited anyone who wanted to come and we went sledding on Saturday (pics below). It was so fun and she loved it, she especially liked eating the snow. We had everyone over for soup and cake after. Londyn really likes being around family and she had a good time. She got a playset for her doll (I forgot to mention she got an American Girl doll for Christmas) that has a carseat, highchair, swing, bouncer seat, stroller, diaper bag, etc.. She loves babies and I figured now she can take care of her baby while I take care of our new baby (not til March). She has had a lot of fun with it. She got some cute shoes from her favorite cousin/uncle DJ. And the cutest most comfortable blanket with a picture of Uncle Duncy on it from her favorite Olivia "eeaa". I wish I had pictures of all these things but I am lucky I am blogging. Well she had an awesome second birthday.
Grey is such a great dad and had lots of fun sledding with Londyn.

My mom, sister Kinzy, sister Rielyn and cousin Olivia with Londyn. What good sports.

This is how Londyn liked to go down the hill by herself. It was really funny and she loved it.

Well we plan on it being another year full of change, trials, learning, growing and fun. We are looking forward to moving in the next couple weeks (our first apartment/own place since our 1 year anniversary). We are excited about the addition to our family in March. And I have been working on a project that is almost ready to introduce to you, I hope it will be successful in 2009. We wish everyone a good year!
