Hill Airforce Base Museum

After five years living in Layton, we finally took the kids to Hill AirForce Base Museum today. There was so much to see and the kids all had lots of fun, even Katie who is sick again with strep.

New hairdo's

So, with everyone better again, (yes thankfully Ben is all better and it only took 3 days) it was time to get haircuts for the kids. They start school on Monday. HURRAH! I don't sound excited do I? I admit it will be strange and I will miss them, but it is so time for them to go back. Taylor is starting Kindergarten and that will be strange for me but she is SO excited. Ethan is going into fifth grade and we found out tonight that one of the biggest bullies he dealt with last year has change school! RELIEF! Katie will be in third grade and will be pulled out a couple of times a week during class to attend SEM. She is super smart and gets bored easy, so this will hopefully will be a good challenge for her. Any way here are a few pictures of their new haircuts:

Thanks Kelley for the nice haircuts!

8 hours later: (see previous)

Yeah my baby doesn't look to good does he? He looks so pathetic, it makes me sad :(. Hopefully within the next couple of days he will be all better.

Just home from the doctor

Well to make life more interesting, we just spent the last hour at Wee Care Pediatrics. Don't worry, nobody is actually sick this time. Ben however, got a mosquito bite on his eye! It was SO swollen, and admittedly we weren't quite sure if it was a bug bite or if he got some insulation into his eye. We called the doctor and since it was extremely red, swollen almost shut, and radiating heat, they insisted on seeing him PRONTO. So, we loaded up the van at 10:50 pm to head to the doctor. The wait was terrible (like it is ever good!). Finally at around 11:15pm we get called back. The doctor who Ben was going to see just happened to be coming out of another room and saw Ben and told the nurse to give him benadryl ASAP. Then we continued to wait to be seen until 11:30pm. The doctor did a thorough check of Mr. Ben and found the the culprit was more than likely a reaction to a mosquito bite on the eye ( I honestly didn't know that was possible). We are to give Ben benadryl 3 times a day until the swelling goes down, watch him carefully over the next couple of days to make sure it doesn't get worse, and doesn't end up getting infected. So, please keep him in your prayers. I feel so helpless, for my little man. Poor baby can barely open his eye and we were told that tomorrow it may even look worse. He looks like someone beat him up! Well, we finally made it home after midnight and I got him finally down to bed. Here's hoping he will have a good night sleep! *The above picture was taken after the doctor visit and looks 90% better than what it did before*
