Changes

The longer I do this blog the more I learn, so forgive me. I love adding cute things. Today I added the age tracker for the twins, I thought this was really cute. Also, I changed the location and design of our web counter. There is just so many cool things out there and I am having a blast figuring it out. The other day I added the description of our blog and changed the blogger header color at the top of our page. I am having so much fun. If you've ever consider creating one you should give it a try it is so addictive and very easy. I hope your enjoying it as much as I am!

Small Fry

Little Riley, she is such a sweetie. I am
beginning to think she is the more
laid back of the twins. Not that Reagan
is difficult she just really enjoys let's
just call it cuddle time ;). Riley is so easy going
she is more willing to give Mommy time
to say brush her teeth or go to the
bathroom...lol.
**I wasn't going to say anything cause I didn't
want to speak too soon but we are
starting to get more sleep in the middle of the
night. Reagan has been sleeping through
the night all week and last night
ready for this...they BOTH slept through.
:) :) (That's Mommy and Daddy smiling)
Thank you baby girls!!

Scare!!

This little turkey scared me too death today!!
It was awful, I had to run to the bank today with
Laura to open an account for our girl scout
troop and the babies had to come along because
daddy had court. It wasn't as quick as I had
hope since the bank got a new system. Anyhow, by
the time we got home I had two very hungry little
ones and poor Tinkerbell was crossing her legs she had
to go potty. I took Rae out of her seat first and laid her
down then Riley and proceeded to let Bell go
do her thing. Rae got so upset she was going to let
out a big cry so she could eat first. That's how we
do it around here. Which ever baby is crying
gets to eat first. First she turned purple and then
white. She could not catch her breath. I could see
panic in her little eyes. I have NEVER experienced
anything like this before. I picked her up and try to
blow in her face hoping somehow that would work
but nothing. Her arms were sticking straight out as she was
trying to breath but nothing. I then tried to calm her by
rubbing her back, it was so scary. Josh is the calm one
and he wasn't home. She did start to breath shortly
after I started rubbing her back. Thank you Lord!!
I told Josh it felt like she didn't breath for minutes
when in actuality it was probably just seconds. I have
heard of children holding their breath until they pass out.
I am gonna say a little prayer tonight that
our little Reagan isn't going to be one of them.
I don't think my heart could take it.

We're feeling much better!!



Not sure what the fevers were from but I am happy to say they are GONE!! What a relief! My babies are back to themselves.

They weren't being very cooperative tonight when Mommy was trying to watch "Hero's". Love that show, it is so good. Tonight's episode was very good. Any Hero's fans out there?? I was already, early baths, homework done, jammies on, I even had the babies asleep. That didn't last - this picture was taken during a commercial break...lol. Love em to death just wanted to watch 1 show. Well, I do like Deal or No Deal but I'd chose Hero's over it. All is good my babes are worth the distraction. I'll have Laura fill me in later. Daddy had SWAT training tonight (it's suppose to be his night off) so it was me and my girls.

I have a prayer request please pray for my partner her father is going through some testing, also there is a little girl at our church I believe she is 3-4 yrs old. Her name is Kerrie Dodez she has been battling cancer and up until recently she her scans were coming back clear. Sunday her father asked for prayers through the tears he said her last scan had some concerns. Please pray for Kerrie and her family God has healed her once and he can do it again!!!

Sick Again..

Not a fun weekend in the Hunt household. Three of our four girls were sick. Chloe came home Thursday from school and said her tummy, head and throat hurt. I thought maybe she was just tried and wanted to take a nap (she isn't allowed to take a nap on school days usually because than she can't fall asleep at bedtime) but this wasn't the case. Although, I did give in and let her lay down at 6:30pm. I figured she would probably sleep through the night and just wake up early for school. Nope!! She woke up at midnight throwing up. Poor thing. We got her into the doctor early Saturday morning...Strep Throat...again. Second time in a month. Unbelievable. She started her antibotic and is back to school today, she was pretty excited to get back. Little Riley started running a low grade fever Friday evening with a little bit of a runny nose. By Saturday she was doing much better but than it hit Rae. Rae had a temp. Sunday of 102 degrees. It was so sad she was not her little self at all. Today they seem like they are doing much better. Mom and Dad are worn out. Last night was not a good one. I think they woke up every 2 hours at the same time crying...not fun (Reagan and Riley that is, not Mommy and Daddy ;)). Hopefully this was just because they weren't feeling well. Makenna is as healthy as ever it was just her and Mommy at Church on Sunday, great service Pastor John!! Kenna loved the Simon Says.

Time for me to head out, taste test time @ Smuckers. Cornbread!! It would be much better if they would give us butter with it and maybe some chili...lol.

Have a great day all!!

Bath Time for Reagan!!


This is our little Rae of
sunshine. Reagan's nick-
name.
She is such a little angel, just like her 3 sisters.
Not too much longer in this tub, we'll be graduating up to the ducky tub. We have to be able to sit up by ourselves for that one.

*Don't know if you can tell but they have their toe nails painted.

Bath Time for Riley!!




Bath time!! They are starting to like their baths more now.

By the way here's a picture of small fry smiling. Just a little nickname we have given Riley.
The robe pictures were taken before their baths.
They got their robes for x-mas from grandma Rita.

Shots




Riley and Reagan got their RSV shots today, OUCH!! Poor little things. Only two more months of this and then they are done. The nurse comes to our house to administer them which is very nice. I was thinking how blessed we are they are doing so good and aside from the colds they haven't had any serious illnesses. We will continue to pray though flu season is not over. I think they recognized the nurse this time. They both started to get fussy when she arrived... :O(

Weight Updates:
Reagan 12lbs. 12oz.
Riley 12lbs. 1 oz.

(almost 5 1/2 months old)

My Hero


On 2/15/07 at approximately 3:08 pm dispatcher Knode received a 911 call from an Orrville residence. The caller was a female with a prior history of heart problems who had fallen and was now feeling dizzy. She was alone with her 4 year old granddaughter. Ptl. Clos arrived almost immediately and requested the OFD squad. Sgt. Pauley and Ptl. Hunt arrived just seconds later. Ptl. Clos took charge of the little girl and moved her out of sight of the victim and kept her occupied. Sgt. Pauley and Ptl. Hunt checked for vital signs and connected the AED to the victim (they performed CPR). OFD arrived and eventually were able to stabilize the victim for transport. It was later determined she would survive.

The was part of the report from that event. If it hadn't been for these officers and dispatcher Knodes quick response a little girl wouldn't have her grandmother, a husband wouldn't have his wife, a son/daughter wouldn't have they're mother, a mother and father wouldn't have their daughter. They saved her life.

I always knew my husband was a hero and this is just one of the many calls that prove that. Everyday these officers go to work not knowing what will happen how they will effect someones life or if they themselves will return home. Every time they find a drunk driver they potentially saved a life not only the unknowing victim, but the driver them self. I am forever grateful to all of these officers and the dispatchers who react quickly yet calmly when someone is in need. They will always be heroes to me. I pray for their safety and that they will return home to their own families.

Sgt. Pauley and Ptl. Hunt received "life saving" awards and commendations, Ptl. Clos and Dispatcher Knode also received letters of commendations.

"You have brought honor to yourself, the department and the City of Orrville." (this quote was in the letter) Congratulations to you all you deserve it!!
