It Finally Got Us 🦠

Well after almost two years we finally all got this virus called Covid. We started off Monday morning just not feeling right and everyone was so tired. So the boys and I went down to the drive up testing site at ISU only to see the line snaked around the parking lot and out into the street. Xander guessed it would be a 2 hour wait as I thought there’s no way it’s two hours. 


So we waited and waited and wait. During this time we saw someone get out with a nerf gun and shoot their family, one lady (same car) got out to tick the baby and the news crew showed up. We continued waiting and after 2 hours and 45 minutes we were done. Xander and I got the PSR since we were both directly exposed and Brayden just did the rapid. We took naps and just relaxed until 6 hours later when test results came in. Well rapid came back negative but we all knows we would just wait together remaining in quarantine for the 2 day tests. We called Kaitlyn who has slept at a friends to pick up a few groceries and then told her to come home. We watched movies and just relaxed a few days. By Wednesday results had come back positive and we knew it. Xander and I had the worst symptoms while Brayden had only a few. Kaitlyn had none but we all quarantined since we had all been together and never found out if Kaitlyn actually had it or not. So a week home of resting.


It was really quite boring most of the time. I worked on some computer stuff and watched movies the short time I wasn’t sleeping. I had felt like a truck had ran over my chest and can’t stop coughing plus a fever and chills off and on. Xander had no energy and just had body aches. 

Brayden woke up Thursday just feeling awful and poor Kaitlyn just stayed in the basement locked in her room as much as possible. By Friday Brayden and I were the worst and Xander was feeling ok. His energy level dropped that night and he was down again. The boys enjoyed playing the switch and watching movies in the front room together. 

Once Saturday night tooled around we decided to isolate more. Xander stayed upstairs as not to spread any germs to Kaitlyn while Brayden and I were in our rooms. We had a gate up in the hallway to keep the dogs out and hand sanitizer at the gate. Kaitlyn cooked & served food all week while I was stuck in bed. 

Now we are going on week two and I done know what the week has in store for us.

Learning to Hula

Today was a big day for Kaitlyn. We registered her for Kindergarten. It didn't quite go as planned for Mom though. We all got up early with Staci and took her to school. Then we got in line for the registration. Mom was feeling pretty good because we were like 12th one there. But as we waited for 45 minutes and got up to the front of the line they wouldn't put Kaitlyn's name on the list because we didn't have prove of our address. Mom wasn't aware that we needed it since we already have one child at the school and they should have this on file. They said they could give her the paperwork but that she couldn't be added to the list until they can verify where we live. Mom had to go home. She was furious and hoped that we could still get Kaitlyn into this school. Here in Pocatello they have open enrollment so you can take your kids where ever you want. This doesn't make any sense why it matters where you live then anyways but Mom hurried as quickly as she could...

Monster Trucks

This morning the kids all slept in but we had to get them going since today was going to be a busy day. We made pancakes & eggs for breakfast. After we ate it was time for Staci to say good bye to Cami & take her home. They had a fun sleepover although Staci has been one onwry girl every since. So it will be a few weeks before she can have another sleep over, that is for sure. We left to go and get Dad's new toy, a new BBQ grill. We got it at Costco for a little more money than Mom had originally thought when Dad started searching a few months ago. But this grill has everything; an oven, ice box, a searing station, griddle and more. It is everything Dad wants in a BBQ. But now Dad can do all the big cooking outside and not use up the kitchen for the big dinners that he puts on for people. Dad is a great cook and Mom's know this will get plenty of use. Well we got home and then had to get Xander changed to be ready for his big game. It was his first t-ball game today and...
