Happy Mother's Day----

The Friday before mother's day Ella got admitted to the hospital for an abscess on her leg. She had surgery to have it cut and drained. So we got to do the whole hospital crap for Mother's day. But she came home on Mother's day so that was good. But one week later after being on the antibiotic for 8 days she broke out in a rash.

So back to the E.R. I went with the little ones in tow.....and Forrest on the way to meet us there.

When we were done we found out that she had an allergic reaction to the sulper in the meds. So then the poor little one was on benadril until she wasn't polka dotted any more.

May 2009

Well May was so busy I couldn't believe it.....We had graduations, ball games, championship games, and Mathew's Baptism. So I just got the pic's uploaded and I will start recaping all the events for the next few blogs. So here it goes......

The happenings at my house.....

Well last Friday we ended up taking Ella to the hospital for her leg...and we had to stay there until Sunday afternoon. She had an abscess on her leg and it was drained. She is doing very well considering that it was less than a week ago. I can't express my gratitude to my father in heaven for her speedy recovery. I am so thankful that my hubby holds the priesthood and was able to give my sweet girl a blessing. I was so thankful on Mother's day to be able to mother my kids. Just what I should be doing. I also want to thank all the people who helped my family. I had a lot of friends and family give me service....Thank You from the bottom of my heart.

On a less crying note....we are finishing up baseball for the year! Hallelujah!!!!WooHoo! I am very ready to have a slower pace to life. Tonight we have tournament games to see who goes to the championship game on Monday.

Also Mathew is getting baptized on Sunday so if anyone who like to come just call me and I will give you instructions on the time! Once May is done....It should get quieter at the Eagars!

Heart Attack.....

That is what I had in the grocery store today.....I went to Fresh and Easy for some mushrooms and of course I always check the clearance isle. GUESS WHAT I FOUND?????

Butter on sale for .67 cents a pound.

My Freezer now contains 30lbs of Butter.....I am going to try to follow in the footsteps of my friend Renee and bottle all this butter. I will post the pictures when I am finished! It felt like christmas or won the lottery! Whoo Hoo for me!!!!

Caroline 9 months

It is so hard to believe that my sweet little babe is 9 months old. Caroline is just the best baby ever! Now that she is so mobile and can eat food....that makes her even happier! These are some photos that we took at my sister's house last weekend. I am so thankful that Heavenly Father sent her to our family!

Computer here we come.....

On the way to get the computer!
Grant is learning how to put together the thing.

Grant holding on to the prize.

Some people don't know it but my kid is a genius.....Back in October he put in an application to be a school math tutor. They accepted him ....and in return for all those hours of volunteering. They give the kids a refurbished computer.

On April 30,2009 my wonderful 12 yr old got his own computer. It was a very proud moment for him. It really showed him that if you work hard good things come out of it.
