First day of big girl primary.

Erilyns first day of big girl primary was on Jan 4. We had been talking about it for awhile and she was ready and excited. She woke up the day of at 7:30 to go potty and told me she was still tired and wanted to lay in bed and watch tv for awhile so I layed her in bed and went back to bed my self. She came down alittle later and was complaining that her tummy hurt and she was still tired she cuddles up on the couch and fell asleep. I figured she hadn't slept well and was just catching up. I decided since it was her first day of primary I would do her hair pretty. I went into her room to get her brush and there it was the reason she was had a sad tummy and was super tired. I run down stairs to show Travis the EMPTY CHILDRNS IBPROFIN BOTTLE I found laying her bed. And back up stairs to call poison control they ask how much she weighs and how full the bottle was (3/4s full ) is she normally happy? taking any other medications? How is she acting? tired and says tummy hurts. They say she definantly over dosed but it was not a harmful amount they said she took about 120 ml and 200ml is when it gets bad and scary they said to try to get her to eat and drink to settle her tummy and watch for any new or worsening symptoms and to call back if things got worse and they would call back in a few hours to check on her. She was still tired but trying to be her crazy self and ate alittle when they called she was crying but with some help from daddy calmed down. They said she was out of the woods now and things would only get better, to call with any questions. We decided to go to church she was still alittle tired but seemed normal other wise. I had to explain to her teacher and the primary presidency want was wrong and what to watch for but they said she did surprisingly well. As far as how she got the medicine she climbed into our hallway cabinet and got it off the shelf about 5 ft off the ground needless to say next time we go to the store we will be buying another child lock for that closet.
This is her in her dress after her first day of big girl primary.

New years

 2014 was a great year we welcomed Enslie into the world and had a few bumps in the beginning with her getting jaundice then RSV. Erilyn had her own hospital stay this year when she got the stomach flu and would not eat or drink any thing, so she ended up in the ER to be treated for dehydration.  We had many play dates and made many memories. We also had our share of pediatrician visits and poison control calls. That's what happens when you have crazy toddler right?! We watched our kids grow and learn new things DAILY.
Last year the only goals we had was to learn to juggle 2 kids and breast feed longer then last time. We all know that the breast feeding thing didn't work this time, witch I have gotten use to. But I am looking forward to her first birthday and getting rid of bottles and formula! :-) As far as juggling 2 kids I think i'm doing well. In fact one of our goals this year is baby #3 ! This leads me to our next goal another bigger car to hold all 3 kids comfortably! Also it will be nice to have a car while Travis is at work to run errands if I need to. All though doing that by my self with 2 or 3 kids doesn't sound that fun. A few other things we are looking forward to this year is a visit from Grandpa Troy, uncle Matt coming back from being deployed. Erilyn also has her first day of "big girl primary" on Sunday  I cant believe I have a sunbeam!! Im looking forward to seeing what this year has in store for us. Im sure there will be ups downs and in betweens but Im ready to take everything on full force and become a better, stronger person because of it.
Our new years celebration was low key as usual Travis had to work till 830 I tried to let Erilyn and Enslie stay up so they could celebrate with us but they were so ready for bed when Travis got home that we didn't even tell them what new years was and they fell asleep. We watched TV and ate Christmas candy. About 1130 we were both getting tired and struggled to stay awake till midnight but we made it watched the ball drop kissed and were out by 1202.
 HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
