Mike really is the greatest, but I shouldn't have given him my password to my blog. He thought it would be funny to paint his own toes and say they were mine. (Don't let him live this down) I really don't have feet that are that hairy. This is the real picture of my feet. He did a great job of painting my toes, and he only had to start over a few times. Love you honey!

Mike loves me so much that he even painted my toe nails. That's True Love.

He did so good for his first time. My foot has never looked normal after I sprained my kankle.

Mike did great !

This is a picture of my fingers with the nail polish that Mike brought back for me. He chose it on his own and did a great job.

Baby Update

Well, this is what is going on with us right now. On wednesday, a couple days ago, I took our car to a service station in Basin to have our transmission looked at, and while I was there I felt a gush of something (sorry for the details) and at first I thought I had wet my pants (again sorry). I went to the bathroom to check and their was a lot of blood. A girl that worked there gave Hunter and I a ride to the E.R. at the Midway Clinic. I had a placental abruption with Hunter so I was pretty scared. I am not due until October 3rd, still 8 1/2 weeks away so it is still too early. They sent me to Cody to be checked out. They tested the fluid and it was positive for amniotic fluid. I was contracting and still bleeding. They gave me meds to slow the contractions. Trents father in law came right away to help Mike give me a preisthhod blessing. I felt so much calmer after that. I am so greatful to have the preisthood in my life. Later that evening they flew me by helicopter to Billings and that is where I am now. Things are doing remarkably well. I have stopped leaking fluid, the bleeding has stopped, contractions have slowed way down, and the baby is doing great. I know that miracles do happen and our Heavenly Father is mindful of us. I am on antibiotics to prevent any type of infection since I have ruptured my membranes. They have given me two steroid shots to help the baby's lungs mature faster. I had an ultrasound yesterday and the amniotic fluid level is still really good and at a safe volume for the baby. The doctor said that small tears in the sack can actually seal themselves back up so we're hoping that is what is happening. At the moment they are more concerned about the placenta. He thought there was probably a small separation of the placenta from the wall of the uterus. They are keeping a close eye on that and are very happy the bleeding has stopped. We are very optimistic and pray that we can keep this baby in as long as possible. For now we are just waiting to see what will happen. Thank you for your prayers and phone calls. Hunter and Mike keeping me company. I sure love my boys and am so happy to have them in my life. Mike is such a good support and gives me so much comfort. I had my fingernails and toes painted a dark pink color and it is starting to chip and look bad so Mike is off to the store right now getting some fingernail polish remover and nail polish. I told him to pick whatever color he likes. I'm excited to see what he chooses. And of course he said he would pick me up some sugar babies. I have been craving them this whole pregnancy and have eaten a lot. Thank you honey. You are the best!

Hunter is off to stay with Grandma and Grandpa Aagard for awhile. They came by to visit today. He was sure excited. I know he will be well taken care of. He has a lot of energy so I hope Robin and Alice will survive this.

A lot of my family came by to visit me yesterday. I had a family reunion planned for this weekend. I was really looking forward to going, but I'm glad I got to see most of them yesterday before they headed up to the Big Horns. I told them to take a lot of pictures and share them with me. Megan said she would. Thank you, Megan! Becca, my sister-in-law, shared a bunch of chick flicks with me so I have something to watch to help pass the time. I'm sure Mike is thrilled. And she is letting me use her little laptop so I can catch up on my blogging. I'll have a lot of blogs with the date- Aug. 7 because I was way behind and now I have some time to catch up. Thanks, Becca!

Snapping Beans

I love it when it's time to start harvesting the garden. Our garden has done really well this year. This day we were doing green beans. Hunter came in to help me snap beans but as you can tell he has more fun playing with them. Hunter has also been a good help in the garden this year. He is pretty good at keeping the weeds down. There was only one time, a couple weeks ago, that he came down with the hoe quite hard and hit me right on top of the head. No kidding! I thought I was going to pass out. I grabbed the big hoe, threw it over the fence, and now he can only use the really small ones.

Camping on the Big Horns

We went camping a few weeks ago with Pete, Susan, Tim and Daniel. It was a lot of fun.
We love going to the Big Horn Mountains. This is our kind of vacation.

Relaxing, Nature, Hiking, Fishing-wish I were doing those things now!

Hunter so excited to catch a fish. He is definitely an outdoor boy, and loves to do anything dad is doing. He says that he is dad's boy and is pretty sure that he even came out of dad's tummy when he was born.

Hunter fell asleep on the way down the mountain with a piece of licorice in his mouth. It looked so gross. Everytime he woke up alittle, he would chew once or twice and fall back asleep. At first I was worried he would choke, but it was pretty soft.

Hunter riding a black bear

Hunter riding on a black bear. My brother Clint likes to bear hunt. He put the skin on his back and walked around the house with it. Scared the kids to death. Hunter finally was o.k. with it as long as I was close by, but as soon as Iwas done taking the picture, he was ready to get off.

Clint having too much fun scaring the kids. I told him he needed to take it outside and walk around the house and scare the kids playing outside, but Dana was sure he would get shot by a neighbor thinking it was a real live bear.
