FINALLY MAKING PROGRESS!!!!

*Here are pictures from the last few days at our house*

This last week has been miserable at the Free household. Everyone has been sick and not been outside, which leads to cranky kids. We had family in town for a party & of course one of the kids had a bad cough. Soon as they leave all four of us are congested and coughing. Sunday night Kylie had me up at 12:30 and did not go back to sleep (in my arms) till 3:30 SCREAMING!!! The following morning Travis & I took her to the pediatrician & there was our answer....DOUBLE EAR INFECTIONS! Kayla was congested and had a cough but they checked her out & she was good to go.

Last night however I wake up at 3:00 am to Kayla screaming...so I go in there and she is really warm, so I get her medicated & leave the room. Screaming again I go in there and lay with her, every couple minutes she would lift her head up & touch my arm to make sure I had not left. So needless to say our house has not had much sleep. Travis said this morning they are making a turn & seem to be felling much better! Thank God for amoxicillin and benadryl! They have saved us!

Golf Tournament & Friends!

This weekend we have 2 couples coming to visit! All the guys will take of Saturday morning and go to the Waste Management Golf Tournament in Scottsdale, while all us girls will head to the Zoo & shopping. For the last 4 years the same people come out and we do the same thing. It has become a ritual & one we look forward to. The guys have a lot of fun at one of the loudest holes in golf (pictured above) While us girls go to the zoo with the kids & then shopping.

Friday evening we are going to have BBQ with our friends & of course Scott, Lora & Bruce! It will be fun & will post pictures next week.

* Kylie's 1st Birthday Theme *

Here is the Theme of Kylie's Birthday!! Too Cute

* 5oth Wedding Anniversary *

Last week we had about 30 people at our house for a 5oth wedding anniversary! We had it catered and spent all afternoon decorating. Nancy & Murray have been married for 50 years, that is a true accomplishment. They are such an awesome couple and I am lucky to have them in my family. We had family and friend come from San Diego to share this moment. They were so happy & even brought tears to my eyes during the toast. Not many people can say they have been married for 50 years & these 2 are truly in love. They are actually the only family we have here in Arizona, everyone else is in San Diego.

Kylie

Kylie Beth is going to be a year old in less then a month. I cannot believe how time flies. I remember the first day Kayla met Kylie at the hospital her smile was priceless! Then when we brought her home Kayla's look was even better..."Wait she is moving in"
Kylie is such a big girl, she eats ANYTHING and EVERYTHING! I am soooo excited to celebrate her 1st birthday with family & friends. My mom and sister our driving out to spend the weekend with us. My dad started a new job so he was unable to come with them. I got a call last night & he is going to fly a Cessna here here on Saturday morning & be here for the party!! So excited for him to be able to be here. He got his pilots license almost a year ago! I am so happy they will all get to be here to celebrate!

I am not quite sure what to get her for her birthday! We got her her big girl car seat & are considering a little poo for the summer time. She loves bath time and here in Arizona the pool will pretty much be a bath!!

The Zoo!!

We absolutely love the Wild Life World Zoo!!
In San Diego they have a huge Zoo but it is not nearly as intimate as this Zoo! I cannot believe how close you are to everything. Kayla is in love...all we hear is monkey noises and she acts like she is swinging like they do! It is nice to be able to go there and fell like you are not in Arizona. Next year we will definitely get year passes.
