New Computer!

We got us a new computer! Our old one bit the dust. But the thing that I am the most excited about it I will get to start blogging again! I have missed it so much! Plus that also means I can post pics of every thing we have been doing! So this is just a quick up date. I hope to get on on Monday to post pics from Casayas first time at Bear Lake!

Up dates

Here are a few up dates on our family, our computer is still being fixed so we cant post any pictures! So hopefuly soon we will get it back.

JEREMY- He is still working crazy hours. The tendinitus in his knee is doing a little better he is down to wearing the brace only at walmart.

BONNIE- She is staying busy taking care of all three girls. And trying to keep up with the house. Which she has been failing at, but her new goal is to spend one ta two hours a day trying to clean the house and do laundry. Bonnie will be turning 26 on Saturday and has to go and renew her drivers license tomorrow. Yay! At least she found a baby sitter so she does not have to drag two kids to the DMV.

ASHLEY- She is being a typical three year old. Her favorite sayings right now is "I am the boss", "Get out of my room"," Give me my sister", "But I want to", "Why", "I have to watch it or I am going to die", and "I love you Mommy". Ashley will be going with a friend of the familys to high school to play in their day care center. They asked if they could bring Ashley so that they could get extra credit. So Ashley gets to go and play with playdough, build with blocks, read stories, and play with kids.

CASAYA- She had a very good blessing a couple of weeks ago, and she is very greatfull to all who showed up. Casaya has also been looking forward to going to high school with some friends of the family. She gets to go and show off to every one of how cute she is. She has also been keeping her mom and dad up to all hours of the night. She has Colic, so she finds it fun to scream all day and all night. Casaya will be having a nurse come out to our house tomorrow to have her weighed and to check on her development. Then on the 31st she has to go to the dr for her two month shots.


In other news my father fell down and broke his shoulder. He went to the dr yesterday to see when he will have surgery to repair it. When he went in the docter told him they are not going to do the surgery for if they do he will not be able to lift his arm up very far for the plate will stop him. But if they leave it alone he still wont have the range of motion. So why put him through all of the pain if its not going to help. So now we are waiting to see how he is feeling, and if he is feeling ok, we will be going to Bear Lake over conference/ Easter weekend. Which will be fun for that will be Casayas first time of ever going to Bear Lake, and my first time in a year in a half. I did not get a chance to go last year for I was preggers all summer and we had moved and I did not want to leave our new house! So this year I am looking forward to lots and lots of parties!

GET WELL DAD!!!

Up date

We got the girls pictures taken from a lady named Cristy Rossi, We love these photos!!! She did such a great job with both girls! It was cool we went to her house and she had a whole bunch of dresses and bows and props for the girls! We had so much fun with them!













Here is a quick up date!

Casaya has her first ear infection! She has been up screaming since about 6 this morning! We went to the drs but because she is so small he could not see inside her ears so he does not know if she has a ear infection, but she cant eat, sleep suck on a pacie or lay down. And if we even get close to her ear she flips out! So we are pretty sure she has an ear infection! Stupid Dr!

Our computer got a really nasty virus! So thank heavens for my neighbor who is willing to take the time to clean up the computer for us! Also thanks to the same neighbor who took us in to the dr!

Jeremy is still working a ton! But we are very greatful that he is willing to work so hard so that I can stay at home with the kids!

Finally!!

I finally got to go and see New Moon! Jeremy promised to take me to see it when it came out, but that never happened he worked to much and then the baby came. So my sister and I finally got to see it!!

Saturday my neighbor and I will be going to the chocolate thingy at thanksgiving point. We will be having a girls night out! Which will be the best for me cause ever since I had Casaya I have been craving chocolate like CRAZY!!!


Ashley has gone backwards in potty training! She is now afraid of the toilet!!! She keeps on trying to tell me that it is going to eat her! Poor girl, but I have got to get her trained! It is so nasty changing her diapers!

My brother Trevor just celebrated his birthday a couple of days ago!!HAPPY BIRTHDAY TREVOR!

My brother and sister in law are going to be celebrating their birthdays tomorrow! HAPPY BIRTHDAY KATIEMARIE AND KERRY!!!

My mother will be celebrating her birthday in six days! HAPPY BIRTHDAY MOMMY!!!


Jeremy works 18 hours today! So I am missing him like crazy!! I cant wait until he gets to be home! Jeremy gets to go to a BYU game next sat. After the game he will go out to eat with his dad and one of the players! He is so excited!!

So that is the up dates on the Foys!

Nothing much, just ramblings!

There is not a whole lot going on lately we got Ashley back last night from my grandparents. She is having a hard time adjusting to being back home and having rules again. She liked having the freedom of being able to do what ever she wants, when ever she wanted to do it! Hopefully soon she will get used to being at home again. I am very grateful to every one who helped take care of Ashley while Casaya was in the hospital.

So I am just watching the super bowel at my moms house. Normally we are at Jeremys moms house watching the game, but this year she is sick with Bronchitis,(thanks Ashley for sharing your germs with Grandma!) So Jeremy is at his parents house watching the game with some of his best friends and his dad, while Ashley Casaya and I are at my moms house, far away from the germs! We are just watching the Superbowl now wondering why we are not crashing my uncles Superbowl party. He has one every year and I have never been invited! Hopefully one of these years we will be invited! I do have to say I dont like the commercials for the super bowl yet but it really does not help the game has been on for like ten minutes so far. I just hope we get some good ones this year!

I am looking at one of my favorite scenes ever! Ashley is reading Casaya a story, and Casaya is just sitting there with great big bug eyes, wondering what in the world her sister is talking about!

My head is killing me! I still have a lot of problems with my blood pressure. And I have not been able to get it under control. So I get these horrible head aches when my blood pressure spikes. I start seeing dots and some times my head will kill me so bad I feel like throwing up! When I get these headaches there is nothing we can do but let it run its course!

Up dates any one?

Casaya- On Friday Casaya was starting to go blue around her mouth, she was not eating and she was acting like she was in pain. I called her dr she told me to bring her in so I did. He looked at her and told us that we needed to take her to Primary Children s Medical Hospital. So we took her there and waited around for seven hours in the emergency room while they ran tests. They decided they wanted to admit her for dehydration and to keep an eye on her oxygen. She was on moniters the whole time. She had a few coughing fits and forgot to breath a few times, she did lose weight while she was in the hospital which is one reason why they kept her there for four days. They would not release her until she proved that she could gain weight. Today she finally did! And they said that she could come home!!!!

Peanut- Is at our neighbors house, hopefully not tearing the house apart!

Ashley- Has a bad cold. It started out with a runny nose then a stuff nose and then it developed into a cough. We were going through every thing with Casaya, that we did not pay much attention to her cough. Well luckily my mom was watching Ashley for the weekend while we were taking care of Casaya. Ashley ended up coughing so bad that my mom took her into the insta care. It turned out she did not just have a bad cold, she has Bronchitis (or however you spell it) So they were able to get her some meds, and now she sounds 110% better then she did. Still has a small cough but she is no longer contagious. My grandparents offered to watch her for the week. So right now she is up in Pocatello with Great Grandma and Grandpa! She is having a blast!

Bonnie- Sat at the hospital for the past four days. Want to hear a funny story about Bonnie? Well here it goes! We were getting ready to leave the hospital and got every thing gathered up. We got home and I was trying to find my phone, and it was no where to be seen! I called it and could not hear it. So I then started panicking that I left my phone at the hospital. I then called the hospital to notify them that I left it there. They went to the room to look for it and could not find it then I really started to get scared. So I kept on calling and calling my phone over and over until some one picked up. Luckily I did that for my phone was in the bottom of the laundry basket! And because I kept on calling it they were able to hear it and fish it out before they washed all the clothes!

Jeremy- Still working 18 hours a day and is very stressed about money, and being able to pay the hospital bills we just got. But he is the only one out of the four of us who has not gotten sick!!! Lucky duck!

So that is the up of our family! Hope you enjoyed our family up date!

up dates!

On Monday we went to the Dr to have Casayas weight checked. She gained 7 ounces!!! So she is now up to 4 pounds 14 ounces!!! She gained 7 ounces in one week!! The Dr said she is gaining weight so well she wont need to go back in until her two month appointment!!!! Yay! Way to go Casaya!!

Mom is healing nicely. We went and got the sterile strips removed about a week ago and the Dr said that it looks like the surgery was 6 weeks ago and not two!!! But my blood pressure is still screwed up! I keep on getting these really bad head aches from my blood pressure. I am taking pills for it, but I am not sure if they are working for I keep on getting the head aches. So I have to go in to the Dr for my six week check up, in a couple of weeks and I will talk to him about it then. Its just annoying for no matter what I do I can not get my head aches to go away. Caffeine does not work and I can not take Excedrin, for I am still nursing. So lets hope and pray we can get some thing figured out! And soon!

Jeremy is still working like a mad man. He is tired all the time, but that happens when you get four hours of sleep, and even then it is not straight. For he always seems to wake up when the baby wakes up then he has a hard time getting back to sleep.

Ashley is still spoiled. She has had a very hard time trying to adjust to being a big sister. That and being home and getting used to our rules again. She was bounced around from house to house for so long, that her little world just got turned up side down. But she is starting to figure out how mommy's rules work and what she can and can not do with her sister. But one thing Ashley did figure out how to do is share, and decided to share a nice cold with her sister.

Yesterday we went out and got Casayas pic taken at a Lady's house. She did a really good job from the pics that I saw that she took. I can not wait until we go back on the sixth to see the rest of them. I am hoping and praying that she has a thing where we can buy the copy right to the pics. For with what I saw we would be getting a second mortgage to pay for all the pics that we would like to get. They turned out so cute!!! And the lady even let Ashley get dressed up in a dancing dress and she got her photo taken and then she took photos of the two girls together! Daddy even got in on some of the photo taken fun!!!

3 going on 15?

Today while I was making lunch Ashley kept on pestering me to hold Casaya. Well I finally let her. As she was holding her Ashley says to me " its ok mom, I got this! Go make lunch!"I thought that was so cute!

Photos!!

I love the car! I fell a sleep on the way home! Just happy to be where they wont poke me all night and have other noisy babies so I cant sleep.
Me in my car seat! I look so small in there!
I was being so cute my mommy had to take this pic!
My sister Ashley holding me for the first time! Ashley has waited a LONG LONG time to hold me. First thing she said when she saw me "Gimme, Gimme, Gimme"
Daddy having fun with me! He thought it would be fun to put me in Ashley's baby doll stroller!
Ashley got sick so right now she is with Grandma and Grandpa Smith. We really really did not want Casaya to get sick. But we are doing good either then that. Jeremy went back to work full time which he has had a really hard time with. He really does not want to be away from the girls.

We got some great news from Jeremy's brother in Spain! They will be adding a new little boy to their family in May!

Comparisons!!!

So that is the differences between our two girls!!! As soon as I can I will post the pics of both of them together!

Casaya is doing great! She is still eating every three hours weather she wants to or not!

Ashley is still very jealous of her sister and will is finding any and all ways to act out so she can get attention. Including wanting to suck on a pacifier and bottle. Any one have any ideas so hopefully we can put an end to this madness?

I love having my girls!! They are some of the best things that could ever happen to us!!!

Mom is doing well she went in for her check up yesterday and the dr said that her scar looks like it has been 6 weeks since the operation and not two!!! Mom is still very tired, and wants to sleep alot. But she is still loving life!!!

Guess What!!!!!!

Casaya is Home!!!!!

We got a call on Sat morning. I picked up the phone and the nurse came on the phone. My heart sank, I thought that something was wrong with Casaya. First thing I heard was "Come and get your daughter" It took me a few min to realize what the nurse was trying to tell me. In the back ground I heard her tell another nurse "I don't think it has hit her yet" Right then it clicked! I started smacking Jeremy telling him to get out of bed, and I started throwing off the covers. He thought I was just being mean. Jeremy had no clue what was going on. Once I got off the phone I told him what was going on. He jumped right out of bed we got going and brought our little girl home!!!! We love having her home!!!

The first time Ashley saw her sister all she could say "Gimmie Gimmie Gimmie" "I hold her! I hold her"

Baby Casaya update!

Casaya is still in the hospital! It is very sad and lonely with out her home, we can tell that some one is missing from our family when we walk in our door. Knock on wood, we have been lucky that we have been able to go and see her every day. She will take a whole bottle once a day,the other times she will take the feedings through the tube in her nose. Casaya will be able to come home when she can take all of her feedings through a bottle. Which we are hoping will be within the next week. But she is able to monitor her own temp, she is slowly gaining weight, and she has never needed oxygen. So the only thing keeping her in the hospital, is her learning how to eat. So keep us in your prayers and lets hope and pray she can come home soon!!!
Her pacifier is almost as big as she is!
I love when she sleeps like this!
Look ma! I have eyes!
Just to let you know the size she is!
I got to hold on to my hat!

Little Surprise !!

Casaya Evelynn is here!!!!
She was born December 28th, 2009!
She weighs 4 pounds 2 ounces. and is 16 inches long!!

She was 5 1/2 weeks early. I had a cough for about two weeks and did not think much of it. Well on the 27th I started coughing so hard, I got one of those headaches you get from coughing too hard. I did not think much of it and I went to bed or I tried to. I ended up being up all night for my head hurt so bad. The next morning I got up and sent Jeremy to work. I called him an hour later and told him I think something is wrong. I called my neighbor and she came over helped me call the dr and helped me get Ashely ready so her daughter could watch Ashley while she took me over to the insta care. We got there, they got me checked in and went to go and take my blood pressure and it was 202. They looked at me and told me they were going to call an ambulance to take me to the hospital. So they took me over to Riverton Hospital and checked on me again, my pressure went up to 220. So they called my dr, he came in and said that we had 45 min to get ready for they were going to take me in for an emergency c section. I called Jeremy and got him to the hospital about 20 min before they took me back. We had no camera, no overnight bag, nothing was ready to prepare us for this. They took me back got me hooked up, put in the spinal, and I started to flip out, for every thing happened so fast I could not process it. The whole time they were doing the c section I kept on hearing Jeremy go, I see a foot, I see another foot, I see a butt, oh there is a sholder, ah I see some hair and there she is!!! They took her over to get her cleaned up. Her cry is so quite that I was not sure if that was her making the noise or not. After they got me stitched up they brought her over to me so I could give her a kiss, then they rushed her off to make sure she was ok.

My husbands birthday!!!!

Yesterday was Jeremy's 33rd Birthday! He had a great day! We did not do much for him but we were busy all day! We woke up and had rolls, then got Ashley through the tub and went to Kiddie Kandids to get her pic taken, from there we went to Jeremy's moms house to say hi. We left there and went to the baby dr. Every thing is going great with the baby, dr said its still ok if we take her a week early! Yay! Hopefuly she will come two or three weeks early! From the baby dr we went to Arbys for Jeremys Birthday dinner. Then unfortunatly Jeremy had to go to work for 4 hours! Once he got off he came home and watched the Jazz win!! So all in all it was a great day for him! Below are a few pics that we took through out the day!

Ashley decided to help daddy do his hair, every daddy needs a headband right?

Ashley helping Jeremy open his Birthday presents! She kept on going "Ashees?" She does not get that her daddy's Birthday is just four days before hers! It is so hard to wait when you are only two years old!
We went and got Ashley's photo taken at Kiddie Kandids, While we were driving she decided she had enough smiling, So she passed out!
I asked Jeremy what he wanted to do for his Birthday, he said he wanted to wash the car, so we did. He had a blast.
By the time all the activities were done Ashley ended up pooped. So hard waiting for your Birthday! All day all she could ask is "Ashley s Birthday"?

I hope you had a great birthday honey!!! I love you!!

When life is good, you SOAK IT UP
When life’s unfair, you SUCK IT UP
When life is funny, you can YUCK IT UP
When life is sad, just LOOK STRAIGHT UP
And life’s too short people, so LIVE IT UP!

Getting ready for two birthdays and christmas!

Not a whole lot has been happening since I last blogged. I am getting ready for both Jeremy and Ashley's birthdays. Then I am trying to figure out what to get people for Christmas. We will be having a home made Christmas this year which I think will be kind of fun and different. Not sure what I am going to make Jeremy or Ashley for that matter. I always seem to make Jeremy scrapbook pages about sports or things that we have done through out the year. So I am pretty sure that he does not want any more pages, but I am not a very crafty person so I will have to figure out what to make him, and as far as Ash is concerned I will probably make her a new blankie or something. Not sure though, Any one have any ideas?

We just got Peanut a new coat at Walmart today, she looks so cute in it!!!! I will have to find batteries for my camera and take pics,so those will hopefully be up in the next week or two.

I am planning Ashley's princess birthday party for December 19th, 11:00 at our house!!! Please come!

What I am thankful for!

There are a lot of things that people are thankful for here are a few of mine:

- I am thankful for a loving and wonderful husband who is willing to work several hours a day, so I can stay at home and take care of our girls.

- I am thankful for my daughter, even though she is heading into the terrible threes, she still finds ways to make me smile and laugh every day.
One of her latest stories,
Ashley comes up to me "Mommy, come here please"
I was laying down resting at the time, so I really did not want to get up. I told her " Can I come in a little bit? Mommas tired"
Ashley: No come now!
Me: Why?
Ashley: Cause I want to tell you something.
Me: What do you want to tell me
Ashley: I love you mommy!

- I am thankful for a mother who lets us spend the night, when it snows and is freezing, so we wont have to drive an hour home with black ice.

- I am thankful for a neighbor who is willing to go over and check on our dog while we are visiting our parents. I am even more thankful for the same neighbor who took our dog over to her house last night so Peanut could have a sleep over, so she would not have to sleep out side in the freezing cold!

- I am thankful for my Mother and Father in-law who is always there for us.

-I am thankful for our house we have to live in, a place were we raise our small family, and learn to love and be a happy family.

-I am thankful for our church. We may not be there every week for we are visiting our family, but I am grateful for no matter which ward we go to its all the same.

- I am thankful for my mom who comes down just to visit, and ends up taking my little one for a day or two so that I can get some rest!

-I am thankful for all the stores out there willing to give excellent deals on things, so we can afford Christmas! (Thank you Black Friday!)

- I am thankful to my extended family who is willing to drop what they are doing and come all the way down to our house to help us move heavy desks, filing cabinets and boxes.

-I am thankful for my Grandparents for loving and supporting us. I am also grateful that they are willing to collect clothes for our little girl, so she wont come home in a paper bag.

Wow! When I started this blog I thought I would have a few things to write down, I am realizing, there is so much to be thankful for. Even when I have trials, I am grateful that I can learn from them and grow better as a person. So that is just a few things I am THANKFUL for!

I hope you have a Happy Thanksgiving! And if you go shopping on Black Friday that you will be safe!

Joke of the day!

My mom sent this cute little story to my email account, I think its so cute I want to share it with you!!

A little girl asked her mother: 'Where do people come from?' –
 wondering about the beginnings of the human race.  
The mother answered, 'God made Adam and Eve; they had children;
and thus was all mankind made.'
Two days later the girl asked her father the same question.
The father answered, 'Many years ago there were monkeys from which the human race evolved.'
The confused girl returned to her mother and said,
'Why did you tell me the people were created by God, and Dad said they came from monkeys?'
 The mother answered, 'Well, Honey, it is very simple. I told you about my side of
the family, and your father told you about his.'

Ashley's photo shoot!

Ashley was sitting down reading a book when I took this photo. Then she thought it would be fun to have our own photo shoot. Yes I took the pics so I know they are not the best quality, but hey I had fun!While we were doing the photo shoot Ash did all of her own poses! She LOVES having her photo taken. These are just a few of my favorite pictures!
