While we were in Idaho for a month with Todd during his last and final rotation we got to celebrate Easter while we were there. This year was so much fun cause Tatum was old enough to go find the eggs and put them in her bucket. We did her own personal egg hunt after the older kids were done cause we didn't want her to get trampled on or have anyone steal her eggs. She was so fun to watch as she would find the eggs randomly hidden.
Here she is checking out what treats she got in her eggs.
She had great help from her cousin Madison.
We had some real crazy events while we were staying with Todd in Idaho. I went to Idaho feeling sick and then ended up going to the Instacare finding out I had bronchitis. I couldn't stop coughing and it really got annoying with being pregnant and not being able to take any medication. My doctor here in Utah wanted me to get checked out to make sure I didn't have walking pneumonia. Luckily not!!! So I decided to share my bronchitis with my poor hubby so he was miserable as well. And if that didn't top the cake he woke up April Fool's morning with a rash from head to toe. It was the worst I had ever seen it. He has had it before in the past like 4 different times and no one can figure out what triggers it. I felt so bad for him and so we yet again took a trip to the Instacare to make sure he was okay. They once again couldn't tell him what triggered it but told him to take Benedryl and if it didn't go away with just that he was to take a steroid to get rid of it quick. He had to end up taking the steroid and it worked. So happy he is past that. Talk about being miserable being so itchy from head to toe. Tatum had a few colds and coughs while we were there also and even got a rash on her bum and woman parts that wouldn't go away so I had to get some cream to help that go away. I know we were one messed up family for a while there. We called it the Idaho curse along with the rainy weather we had for the entire month except for maybe 5 days we got of sunshine. We had to be as positive as we could and say at least we were together as a family even if we didn't have the best of luck starting out this rotation. But now that Tatum and I are back in Utah so I can have the baby here it seems like the bad luck is gone. Todd only has two more months there and then he is finally done and graduates in JUNE!!!! SO excited for him.
Here is the nasty rash on a part of his arm.
More nasty rash on his inner thigh. So sorry honey, that is miserable.
On the days when it wasn't raining in Idaho we would bundle up warm and go to the park that was close to our place. Tatum and I both just had to get out of that one bedroom studio. We got stir crazy a lot and getting out helped a lot.
What you see is what you get. This is the just of our one bedroom studio. It was super small but we made it our home temporarily. Tatum slept in the bathroom in a pack in play and did pretty good for the most part. She is a champ if you ask us.
Taters loves her chocolate pudding and just HAD to have it for breakfast one morning.
A few days before Easter I took Tatum to a toy store that was doing a free egg hunt in the store and she had so much fun playing with all the different toys there. It was hard making her leave when it was time to go home. She found some baby dolls and you just can't take baby dolls away from her. She feels it's her job to take care of ALL the babies in this world.....real ones or fake ones. She is so cute with them. We can't wait for her to be a big sister, she will be a big helper.
Kissing a huge monkey stuffed animal. She is a very affectionate kid. I love it
Sweet Taters has slept pretty much where ever we stick her in a pack in play. Poor thing has no clue where or what "Home" really is. Soon we will be in one place for 3 more years.
Tatum got some bubbles in her Easter basket and had so much fun blowing them with her daddy. She loves to say the word "bubbles" too so it was really fun seeing her enjoy herself.
Having fun with her daddy.
Bubbles mommy BUBBLES!!!!
Tatum had a few play dates while we were in Idaho. She was quite the chef at my step sister's house. She has two girls that just adored Tatum and having her there to play with them. I know that Tatum had so much fun with her cousins and all the attention she got from them.
This picture wasn't actually in Idaho but I threw it in there. She had fun in this swing that was in a Pier 1 store in Utah. In fact too much fun cause when we had to leave the store she cried and pulled a little fit cause she wanted to "swing" some more.
Easter onesie I made her.
Having fun with Daddy at the park.
Tatum sporting mommy's shades. I think they look better on her.
We found a fun store in the mall one day and I HAD to take a picture of her by it since it's one of her nick names. And how fun since it's in Idaho and they are known for their "taters."
We ate at a Smashburger the first week we were there and really liked it. I had to take a picture cause it's my nickname that was in the back ground. Don't mind the pregnancy face and double chin I have going on.
