Mackay Madness: Check-ups and meditation

Check-ups and meditation

Earlier this week, I checked Hannah, Chance, and "E" out of school early for their yearly exams.(Addie already had hers.) We still go up to Salt Lake for their big appointments because I absolutely love Dr. Ferriera and so do my kids. He makes crappy appointments seem fun!

They checked their height, weight, and their vision. All of my kids are about 20-30 percentile for height and weight. Which means they are under the national average for height and weight. BIG SURPRISE:) Brandon always blames me. I tell him he should have married a giant woman! Beggars can't be choosers!!
Hannah reached 5 ft. 2 in. which means both of my girls are officially taller than me. Urghh!

Dr. Ferriera just had the kids in hysterics. We couldn't get Easton to stop laughing long enough to hear his heart.

He had to talk to Hannah about a few girls things and asked her questions about boys...hee hee. You can see that she was super excited. The boys both went first. And the doctor had to quickly check both of the boys "boy parts." I mean seriously it took 10 seconds. Then, when it was Hannah's turn for her check-up and she jumped up on the table...I said..."hurry, he just needs to quickly check your girl parts." OHHHH MANNN, YOU SHOULD HAVE SEEN THE LOOK SHE FLASHED AT ME, AND YOU SHOULD HAVE SEEN THE LOOK THE DOCTOR GAVE ME!!! Haaa haa haa, we laughed and laughed. Of course he didn't have to check those at this age:) SOMETIMES I CRACK MYSELF UP!

When the doctor was done, Easton wanted to show him how he can meditate. Sooo funny. Little did he know that the nurse was coming back in to give him 5 SHOTS! Poor kid, he really needed that moment to focus and meditate!

After the shots! Not a happy camper.

He was truly ticked! He yelled..." I hate this doctor!" And of course, as you can see...I'm laughing. And you could hear the nurses and doctors out in the hall giggling. As we walked out they commented on how funny that whole thing was because up to that point, Easton was a huge fan of the doctor, and the last thing he said as we left was "I HATE THIS DOCTOR!"

Well, that's it for another year! Healthy kiddos! Yippeee

From the mouths of "our babes":

*Our doorbell rang. Chance ran to get it. No one was there. He said, "oh darn,it must have been a knocker-ditcher." (Otherwise known as a doorbell ditcher.)

*Chance climbed in the back of the car this afternoon, and said "ewww mom, the back of your car smells gross...it smells like fries and poo all mixed together."

There was a little boy acting very naughty in Chances primary class...he turned and told the boy that he was an "ANGRY ELF." The teacher told me that it made her whole day and she nearly peed her pants laughing. (We were visiting at a different ward, which makes it even funnier because he didn't even know the boy.)

*Chance's kindergarten teacher's name is Mrs. Rasband, he came home and told Brandon that her name is Mrs. Wristband! Close enough

*As we were driving through the farmlands, Addie blurts out from the backseat, "it's cool how HAY grows, it just randomly pops up in perfect little blocks!" (She was DEAD serious)

*We came home from camping and Addie turns to me and says, "Mom, it feels so good to be home and walk on the grass and have a cup of milk!"

*We ate at a "Thai" restaurant tonight. Addie was so sick of peanuts on all of the food. She finally looked at me and said, "what the heck, do they have a peanut tree in that kitchen or what?"

*Chance asked me, "Mom, why Jesus make me so fast?" (Basically asking why he is such a fast runner)

*Chance was looking through the neighbors fence at their dog and he came running back across the street and said " oh sick, that dog just bless you'd all over my face!" Apparently, that means the dog sneezed on him!

*Chance calls "Walkie Talkies"... "Hickey Tickies"

*Hannah told me that we are going to give her "arthritis" because we are making her camp in a tent this year. (We sold our big fifth wheel last year.) Poor kids!

*We went thru the drive-up at Wendy's and they were out of Frosty's. As we pulled away, Chance murmurs to himself: "damn, damn, damn!" (I will take full responsibility for that one!) Needless to say, we had a little chat!

*Chance says that "chocolate milk" is his favorite taste!

*Chance was picking the seat of his pants today, and I said "what's wrong son, do you have a snuggy?" And he said, "no mom, I don't have a snuggly, my bums are just stuck together.

*Tonight at dinner, Addie told us that her favorite solid food is BUTTER and her favorite liquid food is SPRAY BUTTER!

*Chance told me today that his brain was making him scared to go to school. (He just kept holding his head in his hands)

*We had a "chick" die this weekend. Of course the kids made us do a burial. Apparently it freaked Chance out, and he wouldn't sleep in his bed because he just knew there were dead chicks in the sheets, and his feet could feel the feathers!

Easton "Such a Big Miracle, in such a Little Boy"

For those that don't know, our little boy nearly drowned in a bathtub accident when he was just 7 months old. I had run a bath for myself and left Easton (who could barely crawl) in his room on the floor. I ran out to the kitchen to clean up a glass my daughter had broken. When I returned to the bath... Easton had pulled himself into the bathroom and was floating face down in the water. He had his feet pajama's on which helped him slip over the side. He was under for about two - four minutes and it took four minutes of CPR from his daddy before he took his first breath. He was taken by ambulance to "Primary's" where he stayed in the ICU overnight. He had a full recovery. We are so, so lucky! He is ONE YEAR OLD now and we're so happy that our heavenly father decided that we could keep him!!! He brings so much SUNSHINE into our lives. "We love you Eastie". I put this on my blog for my own journal, but also for people to always be aware of your kids around water...they are capable of sooo much more than you may think!
