Here they come..the terrible twos!!
Two years ago, after working a page where a guy had attempted to overdose and "put my lights out", I get a telephone call about 12:45 am that says "yea, where are you?" My response was "leaving the fire station..what's up?", she says "yea, um...can you come take me to the hospital? My water broke about an hour ago, but I knew you were on a call.." of course my answer was "An hour ago?!? why didn't you call sooner, I'll be right there."
I get there we get the car loaded, get Mom and Dad to come stay with Colby and away we go..Now, here is how organized Bridget was...the car was on EMPTY.. so to Fenns we go (since they have the 24 hr pumps) & grab Jennifer Ezell on the way. We finally made it to the hospital about 2:30ish I think. Chris was sick with a cold, had had taken way too much Nyquil. Bridget had actually called him when her water broke and all he said was ok... Knowing he was sick & had taken the medicine, she didn't say anymore. At about 5 I think Chris called and asked was he dreaming or did Bridget really call and say her water had broke. Then he was somewhere in TN working I think. So on the road he got. It was already planned that if Chris couldn't get there in time I would go in the delivery room with her. Which I did and LOVED every minute of it even though the Dr kept trying to pull a sheet up where I couldn't see!
Well here we are two years later and this is the outcome...one very lovable, blond hair, blue eyed, loves to be outside, hates to say he love you, will take a baseball bat to his brother, is as big as the big boys, loves is Mamo & Mommy beyond belief little boy!
Happy Birthday Colten!
I wouldn't trade any amount of money for those memories I made and will continue to make being your Aunt Chonda!!
Now how will baby Caden make his appearance?!? As eventful as Colten? Stay tuned, time is getting closer!

Parents
I know Cheyenne & the boys will tell you, they know not to get too far out of line when I'm around. I was brought up to respect my parents as well as other adults (as we get to be adults you make your own decisions on some people), I knew that being drugged was something good (as in drug to church, drug to ball games, drug to family reunions), I also knew that when I grew up I wanted to love my children just as I was loved by my own parents and those that have taken me in as their own.
Sometimes I sit & wonder how my life would be if I had a child. What kind of parent would I be? Then I wonder about some of the people in this world that have kids and ask my self how could anyone mistreat them.
When I was younger, I babysat for a family or two, and looking back, I feel @ times I was a little harsh on the kids, but I never had any trouble out of them & honestly, they all turned out to be GREAT kids. I like to think I had a "LITTLE" part in some of that.
Saturday as I was sitting at Colby's ballgame, I looked around, and saw this:
Jamie & Dakota...Jamie had been off working and when it came time to go back to Nebraska for work, said he couldn't leave the family...and i mean 3 boys and 1 girl
Jamie & Dakota...Jamie had been off working and when it came time to go back to Nebraska for work, said he couldn't leave the family...and i mean 3 boys and 1 girlMatt & Hunter... 
Matt works nights on Friday and then drives in so he's here for Hunter's game on Saturdays.
Then there is a mommy Hi-fiving her little boy. This is Joy and Spencer. Spencer was born a premi and stayed many weeks in the hospital. Joy has worked with him and other than his size, you would never know he was born way early and was way little. Joy has made sure he could do just what he desires to do and more!
I know Cheyenne & the boys will tell you, they know not to get too far out of line when I'm around. I was brought up to respect my parents as well as other adults (as we get to be adults you make your own decisions on some people), I knew that being drugged was something good (as in drug to church, drug to ball games, drug to family reunions), I also knew that when I grew up I wanted to love my children just as I was loved by my own parents and those that have taken me in as their own.Thank you all for the blessings you each show me every time I see you with your children...
