Cheese, cowgirl boots, and the fall of Tinkerbell...

I think one of the joys of parenthood is the unpredictable life that you live. Each day is different and exciting, sometimes good, sometimes bad.

Olivia likes her "cheese" during pictures.

I brought home a fairy collection for the girls, the favorite fairy, of course, is Tinkerbell. THAT NIGHT Tinkerbell had a huge incident with the pudding. She has since been resurrected again.

I was at Target the other day and FELL IN LOVE with these pink cowgirl boots. We cannot go out of the house without recieving compliments! They are covered in heart embroidery and heart cutouts, and are as girly as it gets! The girls (especially Olivia) refuse to take them off all day!

Ava is 4!

For Ava's birthday we took the girls to MOSI. We had a blast! I made Ava a birthday crown, it was cute and she loved it!

They had an awesome giant bouncy house and obstacle course. Nobody was there so we had it all to ourselves.

Lance made a giant tower... he was so proud of it!

Ava LOVED her tinkerbell cake!

Olivia had her own strategy for opening presents, as you can see.

Ava's 4 year old hair.

Mommy joined in on the fun and went on the GIANT bouncy slide.

Finally Diagnosed...

For the longest time (over 2 years, since I got prego with Olivia), I've been having a very fast heart rate, dizzy spells, and extreme fatigue (I have to sleep a lot more then ever). I attributed my symptoms to being really busy, working full time, and being sleep deprived. Well, finally I had a diagnostic test today at UCH for my tachycardia which involved laying flat on a table and being tilted upward, and for a person with my condition, causing extreme dizziness and nausea. They left me there for 30 minutes. Luckily, since I'm in good shape and am very active, I never passed out.

I still got the diagnosis: POTS, or Postural Orthostatic Tachycardia Syndrome. Here is a detailed description of what it is:

I'm sooo glad to get treatment and improve my quality of life. Any prayers for my new medicine to work well would be appreciated!
