Memorial Day

For Memorial Day we met up with my family at Roosevelt Lake to spend the day riding the Jet Ski's! We usually find a spot on the "beach" area to set up camp and swim around while waiting for our turns on the jet skis but the lake was extremely low this year so we had to set up camp at the bottom of a closed boat ramp. It worked out great though and we had so much fun! Lexie was on her antibiotics still and one of the effects is super sensitive skin! So I made sure to put lots of sunscreen on her and try to keep her in the shade, but right underneath her eyes got SO sun burnt I felt  bad. But we had such a great time and can't wait to go to Lake Powell at the end of July!

Sick

The month of May flew by it seems like but Jake and Lexie both got sick!
Jake doesn't get sick too often, but when he does he gets hit hard. He had been feeling under the weather for a couple of days but was still able to work and go throughout his day.. well one night he was pretty miserable and asked me to take his temperature.. and I was in shock when it said 104! It made us pretty nervous so we took him to Urgent Care. We left there with a shot of morphine, some antibiotics, and some percocet to tolerate his pain. They diagnosed him with strep throat, and he had a root canal go bad as well, so he was in a lot of pain from that. The next night he started throwing up BAD (side effect from the percocet) so he got a priesthood blessing around midnight thanks to an awesome bro in law and neighbor! A couple weeks later he flew to Reno to get some surgery done on his tooth by his AMAZING cousin Spencer who has his own endodontist practice, so he is all better now!

Poor Lexie girl got pretty sick as well... I thought she was just teething but one night she was burning up and was at 103! So we took her to her pediatricians office who has twilight hours and he thought it might be a UTI since her only symptom was a high fever.. so we stuck a bag on her and waited.. and waited.. and waited some more until she finally went pee and sure enough she tested positive for a UT, and also had an ear infection poor girl! So she got some antibiotics for her and she was herself within a couple of days. Now let's just hope I don't catch anything... moms never get sick though right?! 

Fullmer California Trip

Jake's sister Carly and her family have been living in California this past year while her husband Jimmy finishes up his last year of fellowship. We decided to take advantage and had a little Fullmer family reunion! Jake is number 4 out of 6 kids so it was definitely a house full but it had been so long since everyone was together at one time. Picture overload!

Day 1:
We went to the LA science museum.. pretty cool place for it being free! We had a little picnic in front of the museum then spent half the day at the museum! The kids loved it.

Then we drove over to the beach (This was the sunniest day) and played games on the pier and all the kids played in the ocean! (In their clothes).

Day 2:
We all loaded up in the car and went to a huge park with fun playground stuff, tennis courts and fields. We had to get creative so that the adults could be entertained and all the kids too. Jake's whole family plays tennis so the adults did that while the kids played! 

 This was also supposed to be our beach day, but it was pretty overcast and chilly! We went anyway and kids could care less so they all loved playing in the freezing ocean (so did my husband who went in his clothes.. crazy boy!!)

 

Day 3:
This was Sunday so we all went to church then went to Newport Beach to check out the tide pools. The little town was so cute and it was a gorgeous beach!

Then we hurried home and got ready for family pictures! It was pretty cold so we took as many as we could before all the kids were pictured out and ready to warm up.

Easter

We had the chance to go to the Easter Pageant this year and it was such a great way to start off the holiday with watching the story of Christ and his Resurrection. My friend Olivia was one of the angels this year so it was fun to see her all dressed up!  We spent Easter with  my family this year and my mom is a great event planner. On Saturday we went over and had a little Easter celebration with an egg hunt, dying eggs,sack races, yummy lunch and swimming. (Yes it was warm enough to go swimming in MARCH).

 On Easter Sunday Jake gave a talk in Sacrament meeting and it was so great. I am so lucky to be married to him and he has such a great testimony of our Savior so it was great to be able to hear him express that. We went over to my moms for Easter dinner with my family (my bro in law had some of his relatives there as well) and overall it was a great Easter!

March

Months seem to be FLYING by these days and I don't like it one bit. Lexie is growing up so fast and it feels like every time she wakes up in the morning, shes bigger than she was the night before! March was a fun month for us. We  made a 12+ hour road trip with a 6 month old (never again) and survived, perfect weather in AZ and lots of walks to the park, laying out by the pool, Lexie turned 6 months old, and Easter (post coming on that later).
