no toys needed

So who needs toys right! Kenzie and I just played in paper today. It was fun and she laughed and laughed. It took awhile to get all of the paper cleaned up but it was worth it. Oh and Ben helped to make sure I got some paper also.

Diamonds

There is a place here in Arkansas that you can go and look for diamonds. It was kinda neat. It would have been more fun if was in a neat cave of something. It was just a field. It is really hard to actually find a diamond. So no we didn't find anything. But my dad and the kids did find some neat looking crystals and rock just up above our house. I think my dad found neater things at our house. In the end we can say that we looked for diamonds.

G&G

Well we are all on our own again. Ben's parents were here and then my parents came to see us. We have had a busy house for almost 2 months now. So it is kind of bittersweet to have the house to ourselves now. I just wish we could have family come to visit us more. Maybe one day, never know.


The first picture is my parents with the kids, but Stella is missing.


Then my mom with Stella!

The last picture is of all of us with Grandma and Grandpa Evans!

FOUR YEARS!!

Tomorrow Ben and I will have been married for four years. It has been a crazy ride, I am sure there is more to come. Ben has been such a great husband and father. I am so thankful for him and our family.

one month

My little girl is now a month old and growing more and more! I feel so blessed that she is doing so well. We just pray that she will keep doing great and not have any problems.

ER

We had a very eventful day on Saturday. We ended up in the ER.

The reason that I felt like I should post this is because I saw one thread about what you are thankful for and I could write all of this in one short sentence.

So here is the story.

My family, including grandma, were all in the car. We decided to get some Micky D's and then grab some fried pies at another place. We were in the drive thru. Grandma was feeding Kenzie french fries. We are just talking and waiting for our food. Grandma looks back and says Ben somethings wrong. I looked back and saw my daughter, I still can't get that image out of my mind. She was all tensed up and he eyes were rolling back in her head. Very scary. My husband jumped in the back and got her out. Turned her over and did the heimlich. He got her in the back or our durango. While he was doing that Grandma and I were calling 911. She dialed and then handed me the phone, I couldn't stop shaking to even call.

My husband got her breathing again just as the ambulance showed up. We went to the hospital. We weren't sure if she has been chocking or she has a seizure. My husband did get some food out of here mouth. They did a whole bunch or tests just to make sure. It took a few hours for her to get back to normal. And all the tests came back fine. We even had some one come and give her a blessing at the hospital.

I just wanted to say how very thankful I am that I still have my little girl here with us. I am thankful for my husband making us take a CPR class about 2 weeks ago. I am also thankful for Ben, the doctor said that he saved our little girls life. I am so thankful for my mother in law, that she looked back and saw that my daughter needed help. I am thankful for the men coming from church to give her a blessing she perked up not long after they left. But most of all I am thankful that God gave us what we needed to help our little girl. And that he let us keep here here with us.

Needless to say there will be no more french fries in the car!
