HAPPY BIRTHDAY BRITTANY

Finally getting to this birthday blog for Brit the night of her birthday, My house has been a little busier than normal, so I haven't been able to do this until now. But would like to wish Brittany a very happy birthday, even though she had to spend it in the hospital with her little guy.
I made the trip into the ER with her last Saturday late evening and being that Kaiden's O2 was in the mid to low 80's they admitted him to the hospital, to start this long week stay in a box with a crib and a bed. With a diagnoses of RSV and metapneumovirus.
A shout out to this birthday girl, who was wanting nothing more than to have her little man discharged today for her birthday and it didn't happen.  We are hoping soon.

Brit has always been one who could bring life to the party, with her many impressions of movie quotes, my personal favorite the wicked witch from  The Wizard of OZ.
She was a very active child and one that I had a hard time keeping up with. She has a few just like her, I keep telling her that if I knew that a mothers curse really worked I wouldn't have cursed her quit so hard with having children just like her.  :)
I really wished I had been better at tracking her when she was little with the funny things that she would do and say, but unfortunately I was not, and she has her baby book so I can't even look them up right now of the ones I did. She also was a little child who would crave anything that said sugar on the package, she was a candy lover from the start.
One day she was challenged to eat a bowl of brown sugar, and she did and yes it made her sick!!!
She was our cute little strawberry blonde, sunkissed face, gruff little voice girl.

She is very patient with her active little ones, is a great wife and mother.
She has certainly earned her mothers badge the past 8 months with Kaiden starting out in the NICU for 11 days, having retracting problems along the way, a trip to the ER then. Having a couple seizures and a nights stay in the hospital and now this 5 day stay so far.
Brit we wish you a very Happy Birthday, we love you and are so grateful that we get to see you on a daily bases!!!
Love You

Happy Birthday Danette

I love this picture of Momma Danette and her crazy kiddo's.  It is so fun seeing your children grow and become a parent. Seeing all the different personalities that come in that next generation. Danette was my calm, mild manner child, she loved to spend time alone in her bedroom, so thus living on her big farm with nothing around her but space and animals is the way I could see her living.
When she was young she loved animals and every creeping crawling critter she could find.
The funny thing about her was she loved going without shoes year round (grateful we moved to So. UT) but she was the shoe queen, she loved her shoes at the same time. She always wanted to go shoe shopping as a little girl, but when we would get there she could not make up her mind on which shoes to buy, which made for very long shopping outings. 
Danette is a very good mommy, she is patient but yet firm with her cute kids.
We all wonder where her kids came from because as I stated before, she was the calm one of the family and she has two very active kids and I am sure that Miss Annie will follow suit right behind the other two. (Must be from the Mclane side)  :)
It is hard having them live so far away, but it does make for some very fun vacations.  :)
Thank you Danette, for always being an example to everyone, you have a great family and we miss you everyday, but we are so happy that you are happy and healthy.
We LOVE you!!!!!
