So I can't believe Scott and I have already been married for 5 years!!! WOW! We didn't really do anything too exciting for our Anniversary, considering we don't have babysitters really anymore, but my mom did watch the kids for a couple of hours while we went to eat and to a movie. We watched Taken, it was a good movie. But I am so grateful to be married to Scott, he is such a hardworking man for his family, and we could not thank him enough! And the best daddy in the entire world! He loves his kids sooo much! As most of you know, we have had a tough relationship, but it has been worth it all! I love him so much! And I look forward to many more years! It's exciting to know we've hit the 5 year mark already! I love you honey! :)
We were actually on our way home from Salt Lake, and I looked at the clock and it said 4:30, and I turned around and told Mikylee, that Mommy and Daddy were married at this exact time FIVE YEARS AGO!
This is the only picture I took of the two of us on our anniversary...oops, not the greatest!
BUT it was taken at the same time we were married! :) lol!

FIVE YEARS!!!!
SLC....
On Friday we headed to Salt Lake to see about either Refinancing our Subaru or trading it for a cheaper car payment. We didn't know what would happen considering our bad credit history, but luckily they were able to work with us and get us into this super cute 2007 Mazda CX-7 (So it is newer than the subaru, 30,000 less miles than the subaru) and almost $200.00 cheaper a month! You can't beat that! :) And we promised Mikylee that we would take her and Jaycen to Chuck E Cheese's, so we did. And then we ended up staying the night because of how late it was, and I called the Plaza (Which is where we almost always stay when we stay in slc) and they only had one room left, so we got it, and when we got up to our room the beds were made, but there was trash in the room and the towells were on the bathroom floor, so we called the front desk and told them, and they said to come down there and they would fix it, well we got the suite, which I looked it up and it is $275.00 a night for the price we paid for the other room (UNDER $100) It was awesome!!! :) We loved the hot tub! :) :)

For Scott....
So today I decided to suprise Scott and decorate his truck while he was at work... haha... For our 5th anniversary! (Our Anniversary is actually on Saturday) but since this is the last day he works before then, I wanted him to see it when he got into town. It was funny seeing his face when he pulled up in our driveway with all these balloons and stuff around him lol!! :)
Happy Anniversary Baby! :)

Why?
Why does life have to be so hard? I know that is a very over used phrase.... but it is a very true and understandable question a lot of times. And I do know that everything happens for a reason and that it's all part of God's plan. But especially when you're a mother, knowing that doesn't always help.
And like the few people I've told on the phone about whats going on, it's not like I would wish this for anybody, and I know there are people who's children are sicker than mine. But I just don't understand why my babies have to have so many health issues and problems. We did want one more kid, but because of the heck we go through with our children when they are babies, we don't dare even try to have another one, because it seems like every time it just gets worse and I would hate to think what could go wrong with our next child.
Well I guess I could get to the point.
Jaycen's RSV is gone.....but..........
....
....
they say his head is growing way too fast, which means he could have fluid buildup in his head/brain. The doctor is not going to do an x-ray on it until our next appointment if it continues, and our next appointment is in 2 weeks to a month away... because the doctor today said he wants to see jaycen VERY frequent, due to our history with our children and all the complications our kids have.
We still do not have the results from his IGA Defficiency test (That takes about 2 weeks to get the results), but part of me is now hoping that he does have it, as much as that would suck, because then his head is more than likely growing so fast due to mal-nutrition (like the people in the 3rd world countries) whose got big heads and big "looking pregnant" bellies and the rest of the body is little. And if Jaycen has IGA Defficiency, that is what is causing his exzema, (possible mal-nutrition), throwing up, poor immune system, etc.
And I think most of you who read our blog already know everything we went through with Mikylee...but a quick re-cap for those of you who don't.
Mikylee had Jaundice 1 point below having to be lifeflighted...very scary
Mikylee had to get 2 spinal taps
Had to be hospitalized for not breathing, and having 107 degree fevers.
She had to have an IV in her head, which isn't a huge deal, but still horrible to have to see!
She had to go to primary children's twice.
She threw up ALL THE TIME
She had IGA Defficiency
She had 104 - 107 degree fevers almost EVERY DAY for her first year of life
And we are heading in the same direction with Jaycen.... and it is SOOO hard!
Mikylee's problems ended when she got weened from the bottle.... and stopped drinking formula. But they never did find out what caused the problem for sure.
Sorry to sit here and feel sorry for myself...
just very stressed and scared.

Jaycen's 4 Months Old!!!
So I cannot believe Jaycen is ALREADY 4 months old!! wow, where does the time go, huh... Well as you know from previous posts, Jaycen has RSV, but it is not bothering him at all really anymore which is GREAT! :) And well at the doctor's visit, we found out he weighs in at: .... dun dun dun.... 10 pounds 8 ounces!!! Yay, we're finally in the 2 digit numbers! :) Well I know Valentine's Day has already passed, but either way, I figured since he turned 4 months in February, I would take valentine's pics for it anyways, because some of my favorite pics I EVER took of Mikylee were like these....
So here ya go...

Jaycen's RSV
Well I figured I had better update people on Jaycen's RSV. He is doing really well! :) Thank goodness! The day that he was required to drink 11 oz or he'd have to be hospitalized the next day.. i was really scared because at 730 p.m. he still had not drank anything! Well we went to Scott's parents house to give him a blessing, and he drank 9 oz while we were there! But I still nervous that he wouldn't drink the remaining 2 oz... but haha...that night he drank THREE 10 oz bottles during the night! And ever since then he has been drinking well, frequent diaper changes, not super fussy, not that fussy at all really, sleeping well... he's doing great! He is such a trooper! And we also have Mikylee home again, it was driving us crazy not being able to have her home, but we still are a little worried she'll get it, but hopefully she won't! Okay, so there's that update..
And yesterday my sister in law Melissa came to Vernal and helped me clean my house, give me a break, and just help me have fun and relax lol.. MUCH NEEDED! thanks Melissa soooo much!!!! There is still some stuff I need to do to each room in the house, but since I have not posted pictures of a lot of my rooms finished, as I get them done I will post some pics! (And I am thinking about telling you that once a week I will post 1 picture of every room to show you that I am keeping them clean lol, for those of you who ACTUALLY know me, knows that I do not do good at cleaning at ALL, so this will help me have to stick to it, I will take different angles or do something to prove they are NEW CURRENT pics each week also, lol)
So I'm off to start finishing rooms up so I can start posting pics! :) :)
Also... I am totally loving the smell of my house right now, I went and got a scentsy bar from Scott's cousin Amy and have it going right now, it is Baked Apple Butter and it is SOOO great smelling! :) :) :) And I am probably going to be hosting a Scentsy / maybe other things like that lol party here soon, so if you are interested in an invite let me know!

hmm....
this is just going to be one of those blogs I ramble on and on about things in my head... I am so afraid of how the economy is going, as if we all dont have enough stress in our lives and we have to worry about whether we'll have any income from one day to the next, you have to worry if your family and friends will still have a job... and not to mention even if you are lucky enough to keep your job, chances are PAY CUT! I hate money! I hate how it is like the cause of most stress and other problems in peoples lives, I HATE IT! I asked Scott the other day if they have mentioned anything about not selling as much product, being laid off, or pay cuts, and he said no, i hope he wasn't just saying that to try and comfort me... but from the sounds of things they should experience a pay cut before being completely laid off, which both things stink, but it is good that he should atleast hopefully be able to keep his job. I am so grateful to Scott and him going to there and working, it really is one of the SAFEST jobs to have right now with the economy and such, it seems like it shouldn't really affect it, thank goodness... but that still don't help me worrying about my family and friends... and still worrying about Bills, Groceries, etc... heck that's stress all the time before the economy threat! A lot of you already know about the horrible mistakes I made that got us to the situation we are in now, and this is just mulitplying those problems...
but now problems besides money...
I know that I have some really good friends, but unfortunately I don't have that many, and the ones I used to think were good friends always hurt me, I have always been the big joke growing up.. i never understood it, when I was in school I was always the target with all jokes and all groups of people, I still dont understand it, there were a lot of other people I would think wouldve been made fun of before me (not that its right that anybody gets made fun of and bullied) but I just dont know what I EVER did to deserve to be treated the way I have been my WHOLE life! I hear about all these people who have that ONE BEST FRIEND and I would kill for that, all the people that I have ever thought was My true best friend always revealed their true colors and decided I wasn't good enough. But HAVING THAT ONE FRIEND would be so great, let alone having multiple great friends. I wish I wasn't so reliant on people caring about me, it just feels like no one does... I am so grateful for my family (Scott, Mikylee, Jaycen, and My Mom and Dad) it seems like their the only one's that does!
I am not suffering from post partum depression or anything like that... so dont assume that, if anything I'm suffering from regular depression lol. But it just seems like things never get better, they just get worse, I pray and I pray, and nothing better ever seems to happen.
Sorry to sit here and feel sorry for myself... but I just needed to get this all out of my head.
And I have been trying to lose weight still and it's working SLOWLY..like slower than slowly! but it gets so discouraging when I am still being made fun of by my supposed to be friends who aren't my friends anymore who posted all over the place that I am Trista Eat-A-Ton Harrison, and that all I do is eat and want more food. I am so sick of skinny people viewing us larger people that way, I HARDLY EVER EAT! and I do A LOT more than just eat. But it seems like everybody just assumes that all we do is eat and want to eat more and more. WE ARE NOT PIGS!
alright sorry, I think im done now!
