Will It Ever End?

Short version for now on my way back to the hospital. Cameron was admitted to Banner Desert Children's Hospital this morning for having a fever and being congested for the past couple of days. My step mom told me is he its 100 to take him in. At 4 this morning I took his temp under his arm and it was 100 so we went to the ER. When we got there we didn't even wait 5 min before we where in the back. They took his temp in him little bum and it was 102.2. After having a catheter, Blood work, nose suctioned and an IV we now have our own room and will be there till at least Saturday morning. We also found out he has a UTI that is very rare in his age of kids. WE will update more later I came home to take a shower and now I am on my way back. They don't have Internet that I have found yet so will update later. Please keep him in your prayers.
Thanks

Camping June 2009

Last weekend we went camping. It was nice to get out of the heat and relax even if it was just over night. Usually when we go camping we come home Sunday morning ish. My choir had to sing on Sunday so we came home after dinner on Saturday so we didn't have to get up at5 am Sunday to come home. I wasn't going to go I was going to stay home and finish things up that we are doing here.(more on that to come a little later) Blaine convinced me I needed a break and to come so I went. This was Cameron's first camping trip and his first time out of town and he did really good. We went to Gary's shop to get something and Ryan saw Gary hooking up the trailer. Ryan went up to Blaine and asked him for his seat so he could put it in papa's truck. The last time they went camping was right after Cameron was born so I didn't go and Blaine and Ryan drove up with Gary and Ryan thought it was the greatest thing ever. This time Ryan wanted to stay in Papa's truck so we let him ride up with Gary. We set up his DVD player and he didn't turn it on the entire way to the campground. When we go camping we always take papa's trailer it has two bunk beds a queen pull out plus the couch and the table that turns into beds. I think it says that it can sleep 9 but that would be a little tight. Cris sleeps in the back of his truck because it has a cover on it. And Gary sleeps in the back of his truck it has a very nice padded carpet kit and he sets up his DVD player and can watch whatever he wants.

Me Blaine and the kids sleep in the trailer usually along with Danny and Nate and Jenny when they come. This trip was a smaller group. Our little family went plus Gary, Danny and Cris. Also Blaine's Uncle Allen and his cousin Keith came so we had a lot of fun. Yep I was the only girl. Until Jenny came into the picture that was about normal for me to be the only girl but it's fun.

We camp up on the Indian reservation above Show Low. We usually camp Horseshoe CienegaLake/Campground this time it was so crowded we decided to camp at A-1 Lake. It is about 5 miles before the turn off for Sunrise Ski Resort. It is a lot of fun. Friday night we get up there set up camp and usually we drive back into Show Low for dinner.

It was a little colder than the weather people said it was going to be and a little windy so Saturday morning I decided to stay in the trailer with Cameron till it warmed up a little. So Blaine and Ryan went down to the lake to do some fishing.

Unfortunately Blaine didn't catch anything that morning although everyone else did. It probably doesn't help when you son is throwing rocks right in front of you. They came back to camp and we made lunch and then the little boys took a nap so papa stayed behind so Blaine and I could go and fish. We went over to Bog Tank and thought that we would do good since Ryan wasn't with us. Nope we could see the fish jumping in front of us but none of them wanted to be caught. After a while with no luck we went back to camp to see if our kids where awake and hung around for a while then at 5ish we took the kids back down to the lake for one more try. Cameron fell asleep so we just left him in the truck(it was right behind us so we could hear him if he woke up.) I caught a little one but it was one so I was happy that I wasn't going to get skunked.

My Cute little Cameron

I felt bad for Blaine because he had been fishing all day and still hadn't gotten anything. A few minuets later he had one. It was cute because Ryan helped real it in and it was the biggest one anyone had caught all day.

A few minuets later I caught another one and it was a good size so even though I caught more than Blaine we where both happy because we got at least one.

My Bigger Fish

Then it was time to go back up to camp and have BBQ dinner then time to pack up the truck and the kids and head for home. I think we left around 8ish and got home at 11:30 Saturday night. Even though it was a short trip it was nice to relax and get away.

Some fun cute pictures. Look at these cheeks don't you just want to eat them.

Cameron's 1st camping trip.

Love Sack for Sale

I am sad to say but we are selling our Love Sack bean bag chair. This was the first thing we bought when we got married. We have decided that we would rather get a rocking chair so we have decided to sell it. This love sack is the biggest one you can buy in the store. It has a denim cover on it and is a lot of fun. We priced it out online today and to buy it new would be over $700.00 not including the cover. We are asking $150 OBO. Please we are looking for a good home for our beloved Love Sack so let us know if you are interested.

Update

We have an ultrasound on Wednesday for Cameron to figure out what is happening with his hip and if he is going to have to be in a brace or not. So we will let you all know what we find out on Wednesday. Ryan started swimming lessons today through the City of Mesa and lets just say it didn't go over very well. Cameron got way to hot and Ryan screamed the entire time. I am going to see how it goes tomorrow and then will decide if I can stick with it or not.

Cameron's Two Months Old

What is the deal where did the last two months go? Cameron was two months old yesterday on the 27th. I took him to the Doctors today for his check up and here are the stats

Cameron Ray Matthews at two months is

14 pounds 6 oz (98% for weight)

25.25 inches long (off the charts for height)

So he says that is is the size of your average 4 month old. CRAZY!!!

Cameron has very dry and sensitive skin especially on his face so he told me some stuff to do for that as well as his cradle cap. He is sending us for an ultrasound because when he was checking Cameron's legs he found that his left hip has a pop in it. You can hear and feel it and he said that we need to make sure that it doesn't keep popping out of place like it is doing. He said that because we caught it so early that most likely he will have to ware a brace for a couple of months but we won't be sure until we get the ultrasound sometime next week. They said that if it wouldn't have been caught till he was two he would have to have major surgery and possible would walk with a limp for the rest of his life but because we caught it so early that everything would be okay. I can't wait to know more of what is going on so we will keep you updated on that.

Cameron's Blessing Day

We blessed Cameron on May 17th 2009. No it wasn't fast Sunday but it was the only day that my parents could come. This also happened to be Ryan's 4th birthday so it worked out well because all of the family was in town so we had a pretty big party. It was so nice to have all of our family in town. Blaine's sister and her family drove down from Flagstaff and I had my parents fly in as well as family that came in from Maricopa so we pretty much kicked everyone out of there normal seats in the chapel. I think in the end we ended up with 5 row or so. I guess that is what happens when you have a huge family. Here are some pics from the day. You will notice that Ryan wasn't in any because he was having a very bad day. He was so tired from his party he slept all through sacrament meeting and didn't get into a better mood until after we got home and changed. I am going to get Cameron's pictures done next week so I will post that as soon as I get them back. This is just some of the men that stood in the circle. I think we are missing two that couldn't be there for the picture.

Blaine and Cameron you can defiantly tell that these two are related.

I finally have a picture of me and Cameron I am never in them because I am always taking them.

Ryans B-day Party & Nana & Papa Birds Visit

Some more of Ryan's b-day party pictures.

Some fun pictures of Ryan and Nana and Papa Bird.

We tried to get a picture of the boys with my dad the last time he was in town but Ryan wouldn't have it. This time my dad tricked him. Ryan said that he wanted to read stories and my dad told him to come and sit on his other leg that was just for Ryan that seemed to go over better.

Papa Bird and Ryan playing catch.
