RANGE

Range is home sick from school today. He keeps throwing up: I was just bragging a few days ago that none of my kids had the flu or strep throat this school year. One time he was in the bathroom throwing up and crying he said "I just can't get control over myself!" I thought I was going to bust a gut. He's so funny at the most random times! 

HAPPY BIRTHDAY RANGE

Range couldn't wait to be 6. He hates that he is one of the youngest in his class. We've been counting down his birthday for 6 months! He started the day by opening a few presents. Then we made cupcakes for his party. He had to go to school then they walked to the park after school. (Which is thought wa me the greatest thing ever!) he had a party then we came home and opened a few more presents. Then he had a pitching machine baseball game. He loved it and played good. Him and Ridge both okay in the Neola league. He can't wait for his next game. Range is a great kid! He's very very funny and quick witted. He also is stubborn and can make any excuse possible to get out of work. He does his own thing most of the time. He'll watch TV then go play outside, the head to the garage, then back inside for more TV. He's a very lovable kid. He tells me everyday I'm his favorite. And tells his dad the same thing. Yesterday we were eating dinner and he didn't like it. Dusty kept him to eat and he finally looked at Dusty and said "Now that I'm six I'm not really into food." He was dead serious trying to get out of eating his dinner! 

BRANDING 2016

From a he pictures you can't tell but branding was very cold and very very windy this year. We branded 440 head in Randlett in April 16. We always have great help. They can brand about 100 calves an hour. 

BACK TO MEXICO

I took Ridge back to Mexico to see Dr. Calzada. The treatment plan is to go every 3 months but it's been almost 6. And lately he's been really sick, it was time for him to go back. He loves Mexico. We eat and just hang out. We only went for 2 days this time (3 including the night we left on the flight). Dr.Calzada gave Ridge some new medicine and has faith that in 3 months if we stick to it he'll be over Lymes disease. We are hoping, it's time he is a normal healthy boy! I love going to Mexico and meeting people and hearing their story. Some have had really long hard lives with health issues. They finally are getting some relief from Dr. Calzada. You practically sit in a room all day long waiting for your turn to go get this treatment or that. You end up talking and building relationships with everyone in the room, it really is amazing. 

BROTHERLY LOVE

My boys love to go shooting around which gives me heart failure, accidents can happen so fast. These 3 went to shoot birds and after a while I went to check on them. It was cute watching them discuss their plan of action. I love that they get along so well. We don't have friends close so they have to play with each other or by themselves. They normally play really good together. They are lost when one of them is gone.,

PROVO

I had a doctor appointment in Provo on April 1, the boys last day of spring break. I have been itching uncontrollably for about 4 weeks. It's the most miserable thing I've ever experienced! My body is scabbed and bleeding from itching so much. We decided to go out as a family and stay in a hotel. I've been so miserable and the weather has been cold so the boys have done anything for spring break. I did find out I have PUPPP which is virtually an allergic reaction all the time. I'm allergic to this baby's hormones which makes me very sensitive to many other things. I can only wear cotton clothes, no candy, dairy or white flour. The sun makes me break out in a horrible rash! I'm seeing a doctor in Provo who is amazing! I have hope they can get me better before this baby comes so I don't have to live like this all summer.

EASTER 2016 

PINEWOOD DERBY 2016

Wayke took 2nd place in the pinewood derby this year. The boys love the pinewood derby. Ridge led the opening ceremonies, it was his first time time. 

WENT TO THE CITY

My itching has got out of control. I haven't slept much in 4 weeks. I itch from my neck to my feet. It's an itch that is under the skin. I decided to go to a dermatologist and made an appointment in Provo. My appointment was at 8:40 am so we decided to go out as a family and stay in a hotel. We went to Cabelas, went to dinner, and the boys swam at the hotel. I went to my appointment and found out I have PUPPPS, a disease you can get when you are pregnant. Your body is allergic to being pregnant and makes you sensitive to everything around you. So, I am always having an allergic reaction. They gave me some medicine, I have to take bleach baths, change all my laundry soaps, and lotion. I felt better the next day but Saturday I ate a lot of sugar. I had noticed the days I ate sugar I itched a lot more. But I thought I was getting better and wasn't very smart and are a lot of sugar again so last night I was up again all night itching. No more sugar for me!!! I hope this helps, I can't make it 19-20 more weeks itching like this. The doctor told me many women have to go on suicidal watch with this condition because it drives them so crazy. He was a great doctor and is determined I get rid of it soon before I lose my mind!
