I'M HAVING A PARTY!

Hey Hey Hey !

Save the date!

I am hosting a open house party on Sat. Aug. 1st. between 1:00 and 3:00. It is for this great little company from Farmington, Utah called Peanut Posh. They make/carry a few different things, but I am focusing on their Bottlecap Bows. I have attached a picture of one of the bows on my darling niece. (isn't she the cutest) They are an interchangeable bow/flowers that you can make in just minutes to match every and any outfit your little gal may have. They can be worn from 0 to 100, clipped on a headband or just in your hair. If you dress your girls in Gymboree outfits then you are in luck because Peanut Posh has Bottlecaps to match their entire current line, or you can choose from an assortment of rhinestone Bottlecaps. Their clips are covered in ribbons and come in a variety of colors too. They have 20 colors of flower petals to choose from too. Peanut Posh has a great kit, Big Kahuna Kit, that includes 2 clips, a clear rhinestone bottlecap, 2 of all 20 large petals and 2 of all 20 small petals. That's 80 petals.....imagine the possibilities!! This kit is only $35!!! These are the cutest things. I would love for you to come, please RSVP if you can. The consultant is coming from Utah, so I'd like to give her an idea of what to expect. Click on the link above to see their darling website and more bows along with the other products they carry. The House Party in Idaho is me so come join in the fun. Hope to see you. Give me a jingle if you have any questions.

If you would like to make an order but can't come to the party let me know ahead of time what you would like and I will at it to the party order for you.

If you have boys definitely check out their website. They have the cutest ties for you little gentleman called Bruiser Ties.

IHC Charity Care Program

This post is one to "pay it forward" in a way. I wanted to share with those of you who might need it and would qualify for it, the option of the Charity Care Program that IHC hospitals have.
For those of you who know our family you know that we don't have insurance and that we were denied for Medicaid three times in the process of having our last baby. I have a great friend in Utah, who shared with me the knowledge of this program and said to ask about it at our hospital here. I did and we have been blessed to qualify for this program and between all of the bills so far, we are still waiting for the one for the anesthesia, there has been over $11,000.00 written off of our bills. Ya I know that's a ton. We are so grateful!
I'm not sure if the hospital actually calls their program Charity Care, but they knew what I was talking about, basically it's just financial assistance through the hospital. There are a few catches though and one of them is that you have to have been denied for Medicaid within 6 months of you date of service. I'm not sure if you are able to have other insurance and still qualify, that wasn't a problem for us since we are uninsured. You have to apply for it through the hospital after you have received your service so they have a bill to work from. As far as I understand, this program is available because of donations. All they ask in return is that when you are in a better financial situation if you would consider making a donation back to the hospital towards this program. It's a wonderful thing, and when we are able to we will make a donation back to say thank you.
I just wanted to let those of you who are in a similar situation as we were--not insured because it's not offered through your work and it's so stinkin' expensive to carry on your own, you just barely make too much to qualify for Medicaid, and are all around good, hard working people who contribute to our society and "take care of others" by paying your taxes--that there is another option out there if you have need of medical service. I hope this post was helpful or at least informative.

Abrey Adams Photography

So, I just was thinking as I was looking my girlfriend's myspace page that I should do a little PR work for her. Her name is Abrey Watterson, but she uses her maiden name for her photography business-Abrey Adams Photography. She is local here to Burley, and so far just works out of her house, but she does amazing work. She is possibly in the process of getting a little studio set up in town, more to come on that. She does indoor and outdoor shots, and is great with both. She also is great with Photoshop, so if you need some retouching done or some special effects on your pics, she's your gal. She has done a maternity/family shoot for me and just recently we did newborn pics of our new little baby. I tried to put some of the pics here on the blog, but no success, so just click on the links above to go to her myspace page albums. If you would like to make an appt. with her please contact her at: abrey_adams_photography@yahoo.com (I don't know if this link will work, you may just have to copy and paste)

1 week old

Yesterday knocked off the 1 week mark for our little leprechaun, Miss Davnie. She had a doc. visit yesterday and he said that she looks great. He was a little concerned about her weight, but figured my milk just hasn't come all the way in yet. I think it's b/c she sleeps more than her sister did and so I have to wake her up to feed her most of the time, and if I'm not watching the clock then we go too long between feedings. So we are working on a little team effort, she and I. She is a beautiful little baby if I do say so myself. She makes the cutest little sleep sounds, little grunts and groans, coos and sighs. I wish I could bottle that and save it for later when I miss those baby moments. I am so thankful that the Lord has chosen to send this sweet little spirit to be part of our family. I love her so much already. We love her so much already.

I also just wanted to say a big THANK YOU!! to all of you who have given us a gift, visited us at the hospital, or at home, and who have helped us out in one way or another. Thank you to the amazing sisters in our ward who have brought us dinners. A big THANK YOU to my mom and dad for taking care of Savannah for the whole week last week. She slept at their house from Mon. night to Fri. night. We didn't plan on her staying that long but she has had a cold since the Sat. before Davnie was born, so we were a little nervous to have her at the house too much. The hospital wouldn't even let her in to see her new sister and mommy. (that was so hard on the poor girl, but she was a trooper) That's why you'll see a mask on her in some of the pics.....she has learned that before she comes near the baby she has to put on her mask and wash her hands. She is being very patient, but I know it's getting to her that she can love on her "sissy" the way she wants to until her cold is gone. Thanks to my sister for running me around and taking Savannah to dance till I can do it.
We Love You Grandma, Grandpa and Jackie!

We had a special visitor yesterday too. Grammy Jan drove up from Layton for a quick visit--and I mean quick, she could only stay for 3 or 4 hrs. She brought the cutest outfit for Davnie and she found a matching shirt for Savannah too. She held the baby and played with Savannah, which was just what she needed. She hasn't seen our house yet either so she got the grand tour from Jon before he had to go back to work from lunch. It was a quick visit but well worth it.
We Love You Grammy Jan!

more pics to come, it's late and the leprechaun is hungry. :)

I suck???

If its not mom its got to be something. Fingers, mom, clothes, mom, binkie, mom, mom..... did I say that already. I really like to suck, I even think I sucked off mamma's yum yums, I tried dads but all I got was a mouth full of hair. Sorry mom, this won't stop for another year .
