The Harding Family: the 24 hour FLU!! BOO

This weekend was just as crazy as every other weekend around here (it always has to be something, right:)... Fri, Kynlie woke up covered in throw up. She didn't really act all that sick during the day so we just figured she ate to much for dinner. It was a normal day, Kaj came home from work and grandma Trish took RJ, Tyler and Melea for a sleepover, and aren't we glad she did.

Saturday morning we woke up about 630 to get the kids ready to head down to springville for Shaley's baptism.. It started at 830 and wouldn't you know it we made it ON TIME, all the way to springville!! It was a combined baptism so there were 2 other kids that were getting baptised at the same time, and as you can imagine that made it last a little bit longer than we had expected. The kids were a HANDFUL and didn't really want to be there that long. Luckily there was a VERY PATIENT older lady and her husband sitting next to us who didn't seem to bothered by the irreverence of the kids.

After the baptism we planned to go home put the babies to nap and then head off to the pool once they woke up.. Needless to say that DIDN'T HAPPEN. After we put the kids to bed Ryker was complaining of not feeling good. He was the first to start throwing up and then shortly after was Briyler and Dugi. It was a LONG day of cleaning up throw up and snuggling with sick kids. My favorite part was when Ryker asked if we could say a prayer and ask Heavenly Father to help them feel better. We said the prayer and then Sunday when we were watching church movies we watched Jesus healing the Lepers and I asked Ryker if he remembered Jesus "healing" him and Bri last night.. We had a really nice discussion about how everyone will be healed and made whole after we die and after the 2nd coming.. I really love having discussions with my kids about the gospel and a LOVING Heavenly Father.... I thought for sure we were out of the woods because by night fall they had a few hours of feeling ok... well the kids were ok but I guess it was my turn, I spent ALL NIGHT running back and forth to the bathroom and I even fell asleep with my head on the toilet for a little bit (I KNOW SOO GROSS)... Kaj didn't get much of a break either.. Tallin was up all night cranky from having thrush and who knows he could have caught the bug too.. My wonderful mom took Tallin all day on Sunday so myself and the kids could recover and hopefully not pass it on to the baby.

As of now everyone is feeling ok. The cousins came back from grandma Trish's house this afternoon(thanks grandma for keeping the kids for the weekend), I tried to sanitize everything so hopefully no one else will be getting sick!!

Here is what our weekend looked like.. (don't worry I didn't take pictures of any of the gruesomeness:)
