Spring Break-Eatser-and It's a...

We spent spring break in St George and it was really nice! The weather was so much better than here!

 Easter.. lots of egg hunts and way too much candy! Gunner grabbed one egg sat down, opened it and started eating the chocolate with the foil on it :) 

 Another Easter egg hunt at Mamie's.. can we just say Nerds?

 And even bigger Nerds?

 Gunner got really distracted by Grandpa's new bike and had to go sit on it with Bruce

And.. can you tell what it is? We thought it was pretty obvious! The real deal is in 2 weeks so I'll have more pics then.

Some NEW Things for the Fackrells

Well #1 Clint and I were able to go on a very fun little get away with some great friends! We started out spending one night in NYC and went to see Wicked while we were there. (me and clint's 2nd time but loved it as much as the first) If we look like total dead beats in this picture its because we were! We left SLC at midnight on Friday and arrived, thanks to the time change, at 5 am NY time. Its only a 3+ hour flight so not much time to sleep and we can't check into our hotel until 3 pm! Yeah.. really really long day of walking and shopping and walking and sight seeing and did I mention all the walking? If you see me any time soon, ask me about our Asian illegal purse buying experience ;)

 We stayed at the Secrets Maroma Beach, which is a little South of Cancun. It was amazing and I now know that all inclusive is DEFINITELY the way to go! I can't list all the amazing things about it or tell about all the fun thing they had to do because I don't want to type that much :)

 Us at Tulum, we had an LDS tour guide and it made it so much better!

 Behind the temple at the cliff

 Doing a little cenote (water caves, we swam in one too but were afraid the camera would get ruined so no pics) exploring after we went down the zip line. For the record when we got up to the zip line they pull out these sticks shaped like a wish bone and tell us that those are our brakes.. yeah we thought they were kidding too, but they weren't. Which didn't work out for me very well since I didn't stop and had to hit the tires to stop. Oh and another thing, ask me about me and Ashlee getting trapped in these rickety old bathrooms (you know the kind where its just a hole that goes done to the dirt? yeah..) by a javelina (wild pig that can be really mean).

 The View from our patio, we had a swim out room which was way fun.

 Our room looking from the patio area, the curtained thing behind the bed was the tub and bathroom.

 Clint and Todd, I was too lazy to get off my lounge chair and get closer so the pic is blurry :)

 Clint and Eric's version of a Corona commercial.. but seriously, how gorgeous is that beach?

 Beth, Eric and Ash (yes Eric's hair is a running joke)

 Clint got pulled up on stage during one of the nightly performances!

 Ash, Me, and Beth with Giovanna our favorite member of the entertainment crew.

 Eric trying in Deeg"s sombrero that he requested we bring home for him :)

 All of us on our way home.. we had a ton of fun!

Oh and here is #2 and 3, It was my birthday on the 28th of March and I've decided 27 feels really old. And WE ARE EXPECTING baby #4 in September! And #5 I got a new car, its a Suburban and I love it! I'll post a picture of it when the weather stops being crappy :)

This Seems Familiar...

Anyone who has been keeping up with our blog for a while will remember when it seemed like all I posted were messes that Auni made, and her in time-out or cleaning them up. Well.. here we go again!

He got into my spice rack and dumped out an entire bottle of dill weed and a bottle of poppy seeds. Neither was remotely salvageable since they were all mixed together. I'm pretty sure that cleaning them up wasn't much of a punishment since he loves the vacuum.

This is just a random funny picture, he loves to put on Auni's heels and wear them around the house! And i just think he looks hilarious!

Gunner is 2 !!!

I can't believe that my baby boy is 2! It doesn't seem, that long ago that he looked like this..

 Look at those lips! They are still like that and I pretty much want to eat him up all the time! :)

 My BIG Boy!

 He is obsessed with motorcycles so when we saw this we couldn't pass it up! Thanks Mamie!

 He loves tools too.. can we just say he and his brother love all the things their Daddy does?

I love this boy SO much and we are so grateful to have him in our family!

Our First Visit to the ER

Its a long story so I'm mostly going to summarize.. Gunner thought it would be a good idea to sample his amoxicillan. About 13 tsp to be exact. So after a call to poison control we were told to go to the ER so they could watch him then after a few hours get a urine sample to see if there were any crystals in it. Apparently amoxicillan causes crystals to form in the urine and in turn can block the ureters and affect kidney function. So we headed in, and lets just say 3 hours of waiting in little curtained off rooms with all sorts of intersting equitment is NOT fun with a 22 month old :)

 But I will say that the nurses were really sweet with him and gave him everything he might want.. snacks, sippi, crayons, suckers.. you name it.

 But even those only last for so long and then you have to get creative :) and after that.. walk the hospital halls.

 When they finally did get the sample it looked like milk and was full of crystals so we were informed that we would be staying the night on pediatrics. They put in an IV so they could flush him out and drew his blood to check on his kidneys (which luckily for us were fine). It was so sad to see him get poked.. I won't lie, I totally cried the whole time!

 By the time we finally got settled in our room on peds it was almost midnight and considering all he'd been through I was shocked at how happy he was, and the fact that he wasn't trying to yank his IV out.

 Morning was a different story.. after going to bed late and being woken up several times after that for vitals, diaper checks, another blood draw and urine test, he was slightly groggy :)

 But after breakfast he bounced back and was ready to check everything out. He loved the playroom that they have. He found a nice car that he rode up and down the halls, he was hawlin, I was having a hard time keeping up with his IV pole :)

 But thankfully all of his morning tests came back clear so we were able to get out of there by 10:30! And he got a sweet ride to the car! And PS I have to say that I was impressed with poison control, they are very thorough. They called ahead to the ER to tell them we were coming, called the hospital later that night to check on him, called the night we got home to check again, and the next night for one final check. If you ever have questions about anything of that nature call them. Thats the first thing the ER would have done had I not called already. And PSS I just want to say thanks to my awesome family who was so quick to jump in and help with anything and everything we needed! We Love You!!!
