We Are Alive.....Barely!

We are back!!!! We got moved in and got settled, then life got crazy. Two weeks after we were here I thought I was going to die. Actually, I wanted to die. I woke up one morning with some pain on my side. It wasn't to bad so I just went on with the day. Around 3:00 I called Dan and said get home, I am dying and I can not take care of Kael. When he got home he found me some strong medicine from when I had Kael and gave them to me. It settled me down enough to go to sleep. I woke up and felt all right the pain was still there, but not as bad. We went to a birthday party and then came home and went to bed. At 3:00 in the morning I woke up and I knew that I was dying. At 5:00 we called Dan's mom up and told here to come watch Kael and we were going to the hospital. When we got there I found out that I had a Kidney Stone...WHAT? I was in shock. I really only that men and old people got those. Some people say that it is a lot like having a baby. I second that, it is worse. I am just so thankful that we were in Delta.

A week after my hospital stay, Kael had to have his tonsils out and tubes in his ears. I was scared to death. I hear about kids getting them out all of the time, but this time it was my little boy. He was so good. We had to go in at 7:30 am. When we got there I really thought that he would kind of be freaked out. Not my boy, he was so excited. It helped that he was treated like king.

This was his room when we got there. They were so good to us.

This is Kael playing with all the stuff they gave him. This was before the surgery.
Here is Kael in his cute little scrubs they had for him.

Going into recovery is a moms worst nightmare. He had no clue were he was and he was so sad. His face was so swollen, it didn't even look like him.

This is him after. So, so sad.

The only way to keep him from not crying is to let him be in a wagon that they had there. I think I walked up and down the halls of the hospital a thousand times. He was so brave and did so good. At his week check up they were amazing with how well he was doing. Nobody could believe that he had his tonsils out.

So on a good note....We love Delta. I am seriously living the perfect life right now. Here are some more pics of the happenings that have been going on.

My mom and all of the girls went to Region Drill Team. It was in Millard and we all love to go and watch them dance. We had the kids and they actually did really well. Kael loves to dance so I knew that he would really like it. The Selgaes took Region and then the next week the took State. Good Job Selgaes!!!!

Dalli, Tucker and Kael.
Here are the boys. They were very into it. Their dads would kill us if they saw this.
Here is Kael with his tools and hard hat. He loves to help his dad.

One day I walked down stairs and this is how I found Kael. I asked him what he was doing and he told me he was waiting for dad. He loves his dad.

MOVING!

So most of you know by now that we are moving back to Delta. I am so excited about it, but I have to say that it was really hard for me to leave. I have made so many friends in Orem and I will miss all of them so much, but don't worry I plan to visit lots!! The one thing that makes this move so much easier is I know with out a doubt that this is the right move for our family. Times have been hard with this wonderful economy that we live in. It has been so crazy how everything has worked out so perfect. I truly know the lord is watching over us, especially when things are hard.

So I am not sure when we will get Internet, but I will update and let you all know how the move went. Thanks so much for everything everyone has done for us.

Just a Little Late....Christmas 2008

So our life has been so crazy and I know that this post is really really late, but it is better than nothing. We spent Christmas Eve and Christmas morning in Holden and then went to Delta for the rest of the Holiday. Here are lots of pics.

Christmas Eve!

Christmas morning. Kael and Dan BOTH loving the toys.:)

Kael opening presents. He loved it this year. He thinks that all the presents are his and wants to help everyone open them.

Kael and Tyler on Kael's new CARS table and chairs. He loved this. To this day we will not sit anywhere but on those chairs.

Kael and Tyler's matching PJ's.

Christmas at the Lyman is always very entertaining. Here is Ray trying to get all of the kids to sit down in a circle to open presents. Notice Kael in the middle, always trying to be the center of attention.

Kael wanted to watch himself more then opening presents.

He did not want to get his picture taken, but it was so funny. He keep carrying this guitar around and you can't see but he has an AC DC shirt on. I think my little boy is going to be a rocker.

Snow, Guitar, and Best Buddy!!!!

Here is a picture of Kael the first time he played in the snow this year. I didn't think that he would like it, but he has loved it. He just hates when his hands get really cold and then sting. He freaks out.

Kael loves Guitar Hero. Every day he goes and finds the game, gets the guitar and then asks me to play. About a month ago after ever song he would start saying "Rock On." Not sure were he picked that up. Now he always says that he wants to watch rock on.

Here is a cute picture of him jammin out.

Seriously my son is the funniest little boy ever. I love him!!!!


So these two are seriously the cutest ever. (Even though Kael has a dirty face.) They are the best little buddies. I have never seen two little boys at this age play so good together.

Kael and Beau

The boys were being way to quiet and when I went to find them this is what I found. I am telling you the best boys ever!

Taking turns giving each other rides.

Santa Clause

We attempted to see Santa Clause tonight and for the most part Kael did pretty good. We went with his cousins which he absolutely adores. Waiting in line I keep saying, "Are you going to sit on Santa's lap." Every time I asked he said yes and he wasn't freaking out, so I thought heck ya this is going to be good.

Well, his cousins went before him and he started to get a little nervous. When I told him that it was his turn Holy Freak Out. He started screaming and would not let go of me. Santa said I could sit by him with Kael on my lap. As you can see from the picture he would not look at Santa.

Well after a few seconds, Kael actually talked to him. Santa asked what he wanted and Kael said, "Presents." Kael also told him he wanted some cars.

In the end Kael ended up giving Santa a high five and getting a sucker. Good Job Kael!

Forgotten Carols and Christmas Lights

Kael is in love with Christmas lights. He actually always has been. When he was a month old we would lay him under our Christmas tree and we would lay there forever. Friday night we went to go look at the lights in Spanish Fork. We went with Dave, Nichol, Shaun, Ashley and their girls. It was $5 a vehicle, so we all piled into one and went to see the lights. Kael loved it. He keep saying hi to everything.

"I'm Ready, mom!"
So excited for the lights. You can see him waving at everything.

We tried to get a picture of everyone but it didn't work. Behind the twins is Shaun and Ashley. You can see part of Dan's hat. We were packed in there.

On Saturday night some of Dan's family came up and we went to the Forgotten Carols. Oh my gosh. it was so good. I loved it. I highly recommend it to everyone. Here is a picture of the sister-in-laws, minus Shannon.

Jodi, Ashley, Kami, Me

Thanksgiving and a Birthday!

This weekend was a very long, but very fun weekend. We headed down to Holden on Wednesday. Thursday we woke up and instantly started to party. Kael's birthday was on Thanksgiving this year. So we had a very eventful day.... We started out letting Kael open some presents when he woke up. We made him some waffles and put a candle in them and he got to blow them out. We then got ready for Thanksgiving dinner. That night everyone came over and celebrated Kael's birthday. He loved it.

We headed to Delta on Friday afternoon. That night some of the sister-in-laws decided to have a girls night out and we went to Twilight. I had already seen it, but I loved it more the second time. I made true Twilight fans out of all of them. Saturday we all went to the light parade, which Kael loved. He is in love with all of the lights everywhere. After the light parade we went back to Dan's parents house and had Kael's second birthday party. Yes, I know, he is a very spoiled boy. Now he thinks every time that he sees a present it is his.

Thanks to everyone who helped us have a wonderful Thanksgiving and helped Kael celebrate his second birthday. We love you all!!!

Happy Birthday Kael!

November 27, 2006

Two years ago my life changed. I thought that life couldn't get any better then it was. I was married to the most wonderful guy ever and we were so happy. On the morning on the 27th, Dan drove me to the hospital in the snow and at 2:18 a beautiful little boy was born. I never knew how much a 7 pound little life could change your whole world. From the moment he arrived he brought so much joy and love to us.

Kael at 2 1/2 weeks old:

I really can't believe that Kael is turning two on Thanksgiving. I still feel like he is my little baby, but in reality he isn't my baby anymore, he is my little boy. He is the best little boy ever. People ask me what I do all day long and I simply say, "I just sit around and watch Kael." Seriously, you think that it would get boring, but he never makes one minute dull. He is has the cutest little personality. He has his dad's good looks, but his mom's personality. He is not a shy boy at all. He will jabber to anyone, anywhere. Here are a couple of the cute things that he has done lately:

*Dan called me a couple days ago and was asking for a phone number. I started to say (801) and all the sudden I heard Kael say "789," I was laughing so hard that I could talk to Dan anymore.

*This one is my Favorite:***I was calling my mom and right before my mom answered the phone, Kael walked up to me, put his hand in the air, put is head down and said "ROCK ON."(he loves guitar hero.) When me mom answered the phone once again laughing so hard I could not breath.

*He has started being very, very loving lately. Throughout the day he will just come up and give me the biggest hug ever and say "hi mom," then he kisses me and runs off and plays. Seriously how to you get mad at him...

Kael I just want you to know how much I love you and how blessed me and your dad are to be your parents. You are such an amazing little boy. I hope that you have a great birthday. Love you Kael Bud!!!!

Kael's 2 year pictures:

Family Pictures!!!!

We finally got our family pictures done. The last family picture that we had done was when Kael was 6 months old. One of my really good friends, Amanda Peterson, did these. I couldn't have asked for anything better. She does such an amazing job. You have seen her kids throughout my blog. Her little girl, Bailey, is Kael's girlfriend and her little boy, Baeu, is Kael's buddy. Amanda, thank you so much. I love them so much. I don't know how in the world I am going to choose from all of them.
