The Finger Sweep
Scary Moment! Miss Paisley was sitting on the couch next to me as I'm working on the computer (um ok watching last nights episode of dancing with the stars on abc.com) She kept saying something over and over that sounded like, "e-ick". Raven figured out she wanted a cheese stick. Next thing I know she's gagging next to me! The last bit of the cheese stick had slid down her throat and she was choking! I stuck my finger in her mouth and could feel it in her throat, I screamed, "She's choking!" as I swept my finger down her throat thinking I may need to tip her upside down, then captured that slippery cheese stick as my heart was racing! Scared me half to death! I was so grateful that I was right next to her when it happened and was cursing myself as a parent for the times I let her walk around the house with cheese stick in her hand! What if she would have been downstairs with the kids and I wasn't near her and the kids didn't notice she was choking??? You tend to be more lax with the 3rd child and this was a wake up call. I did the Heimlich on Raven a couple times when she was young. Once was on her 1st birthday when she got some plastic wrap off of a tape in her mouth and was gagging and I tipped her upside down while hitting her and she threw up all over! Another time was when she was in her high chair eating green beans laughing at her brother when she started choking, I whipped her out of her chair and tipped her again while hitting her, cursing that she was strapped in the high chair and it took me awhile to get her out. Anyone else have any scary choking moments??

baptized
All 3 kiddos got baptized today! It was awesome! And miss Paisley was so well behaved, our pastor asked if she was always this good.... well ugh no!
"Therefore, go and make disciples of all the nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit." (NLT, Matthew 28:19)
And then he told them, "Go into all the world and preach the Good News to everyone, everywhere. Anyone who believes and is baptized will be saved. But anyone who refuses to believe will be condemned. (NLT, Mark 16:15-16)
Baptism is a means God uses to convey grace. The person baptized is set free from the power of sin and given a new spiritual life (John 3:5-7). The covenantal view holds that baptism is not a means of spiritual rebirth, but a sign and seal of God's covenant of salvation. Baptism depicts the freeing from sin that occurs with repentance (Acts 2:38),
There were 2 tiny babies and another family with 3 older kids. I will post pictures when I can. Grandma Bette went. Paisley wore her cute purple "Ao Dai" from Vietnam. She also had on silver sparkle shoes! Funny thing is when we were in Vietnam I picked out the same outfit for Raven and then the ladies measured Paisley and custom made one to fit her. Well it just now fits over a year later! And the girl has done some growing. Raven looked pretty as can be in a new blue flowing top with leggings and sparkle sandals. That girl and her sandals! It's going to be cold, like in the 30's tomorrow so she better wear warm shoes! She did change into her brown furry boots before a birthday party at Pump It UP this afternoon. Ryker looked handsome as heck in a nice white shirt with dress pants. He is such a huge help with the girls and especially Paisley. He was so tired today though because he had a sleep over last night and it took some talking to get those boys to bed!
Yesterday all of us except Ryker (oh and my niece Rylee ) went to High School Musical 3 in the theatre. Raven got all decked out in her rock star gear. She even talked me into some eye shadow. Lord help me when she's a teen! Miss Paisley was as happy as can be sitting on Dad's lap eating popcorn. I think it's the first time she's had any. I don't think I let my others have popcorn till they were much older. And poor Ryker probably wasn't allowed any till he was 5! Oh how things change with that 3rd child. half way through the movie Pais had had enough without any nap! So she started throwing things and straightening out in her little fit-mode. So Dad got to take her out to the car and listen to the "game" on the radio. I'm sure he was happy for the timing! She went to sleep in her car seat. Poor thing has a worse cold today. I swear I thought she was so sick the week before last but it was just her teeth. Now she's got all the cold crap that's going around and she coughed herself to sleep tonight. I hope she gets better soon. I brought her out of her crib to give her some water for her throat and was holding her and loving on her when she points to her room and says, "Go! Mom!" She was ready to go back to bed! So funny. She had so much fun at the birthday party today. She ran around and bounced like crazy. But got a little bent out of shape when her friend decided he wanted to sit in the car she was riding around in. Of course she LOVED the cake and juice. I never give her juice so she just sat there with that juicy box and drank the whole thing gone with out barely taking a breath!
It was a fab weekend, but getting a bit too cold for my blood. SO windy today Grandma was in a full sprint out of church with the wind pushing her all the way to the car!
