Loopy

I told the girls to touch cheeks...Azzlyn was confused... :)Sisterly love....so beautiful (they got it right here)

Look at these two little HAMS!

Mama and her sweet baby Axil

So benadryl does some pretty crazy things to my children....which is why my post is titled "loopy" Seriously....I have never met a more loopy bunch when they are on Benadryl... so for the past couple of weeks our kidos have had some pretty nasty noses... I think it comes with the territory...you live in Utah your kids are forever going to have a runny/stuffy nose. period.
So today i realized both Azzlyn and Caelyn have begun to maintain this cycle. Also Axil was given his shots today so i gave them all a bit if benadryl and Motrin.... I rarely give them FULL doses because it makes me nervous and still well there is really only one word to describe..."loopy!" Axil seems to act like everything is in slow motion....Azzlyn is out like a light...and lu lu....or should i say Loopy Lu Lu. This girl turns in to a nut case... It almost always backfires when i give her this stuff.... She was pulling her shirt up on top of her head, running up and down the hall saying "shirt head! shirt Head!" then while i was trying to calm her down for night time prayers she is standing on her bed against the wall balancing on her head and speaking in some different language im sure. But just as quickly as she becomes this new person its like lights are out and she is too.... to say the least it was entertaining... im pretty sure i will stick to half doses... things get a little strange in the burgon home when children have benadryl running through their system.

My princess twins!

okay so a while back I had a friend in our ward ask if she could use our girlie's as models for some pictures she was going to do for a woman selling little girls princess gowns and so forth....and i never put the pictures up because i couldn't upload them on this computer for some reason...any way i finally went to her site and she had both Azzlyn and Caelyn on there...Azzlyn is under the sugar plum princess gown and lou lou is under the black one if you go to her website....She has the most darling things too! WAY cute stuff... I really wanted to get the girls some of these dresses seeing that they are so into them...but they are expensive so maybe one day right???the site is www.lilyannaforgirls.com

My Jesse is back in Trinidad as of tonight. Bless his heart. We both had a REALLY tough time prepping ourselves for this trip out...We always have a little talk to pump ourselves up and talk positive before he goes...its seems to help when we can make ourselves believe we can do another three weeks....but this time it was far from a positive upbeat talk...more like a melt down....we both kinda lost it.... it just felt he just got home...and here we were trying to be positive about him leaving AGAIN....but nothing soothed those feelings like a nice long family prayer. Not to say everything was fixed and we were back on the "yeah for Trinidad bus" but we felt at peace with what we are doing and where we are at...surly this job is a blessing and a trial. But it is where we both know we are supposed to be-Right now- and I think its comforting to know its not -FOREVER- So thats something we are trying to focus on. That and that fact taht in times like these we REALLY are so happy to have a job.

fourth of july fun!

So I always love the fourth...there could not be a better way than fireworks to celebrate this great Nation and all the men and women who not only die for our country but who live for its purpose...which is to be free. I sadly am one of those who i think take for granted from time to time what it truly means to be free...and again thats why i love any time to celebrate this beautiful gift that has been gifted me.
Thank you! thank you! thank you! to those who not only are fighting the wars that are afar and who fought for freedom and justice in the past... but to the police officers who fight them here and now...more and more i am beginning to appreciate those solders too! thank you all for my freedom and for being our protectors!

This is Jesse's favorite holiday besides Christmas....Jesse loves not only the festivities of the fourth but deeper than that, i don't think i have ever met a man who has more of a desire to serve his fellow man and his country...Those who know Jesse, know of his desire to be one of our nations protectors... Its a very special thing to watch Jesse and to see the light...no, more like this Fire in his eyes when a story is told about a solider, or when he stands to solute a flag or veterans in a parade, or even the national anthem.... When Jesse shakes the hand of a solider its like a kid meeting there super hero. Many of you know Jesse tried to enlist in the Marines about a year and a half ago...to our shock and to his dismay he was denied due to the amount of dependencies ( his wife and children) he had. This was a sad day, but we know and trust the lord in this decision. I just don't think Jess can or ever has let go of that dream of one day being counted as one of his nations defenders... but with the way the world is turning...maybe it wont be long...
There is another man that I have seen this fire in... Those of you who know him could agree that My Dad too was meant to be a soldier...I think hes watched so man documentaries and studies so much into wars that you could swear the man fought in every one. I am just so thankful to you men who maybe haven't fought in a "war" but who are our protectors in the home....You truly dont know the amount of relief we feel just with the presence of a man by our side who we know at any moment would be ready and willing to FIGHT for there families....whatever the cost.
Thank you too! Our loving soldiers in the home!
