Guess who is 2 Months!

Ty's Blessing Day

Sunday November 28 we blessed Ty. It was a crazy day of snow. It all turned out OK and he got a beautiful blessing by Jeremy. The outfit drowned him but he still looked adorable. This is how he felt about it.
We just love him.

The happy parents.

He truly is a blessing in our lives and wouldn't want it any other way.

Isn't he cute?

Happy Halloween!

Baby Ty 10-06-10

Story at the bottom of the page.

I was set to be induced on 10-6. We were so excited to finally see baby Ty. They started my on Pitocien about 9 because I was already having contractions on the own. By 11 I could tell my epidural was not working. They tried everything in there power to get it going but I transitioned so fast that there was no luck. He was born at noon exactly. He weighed in at 8lbs 6 oz and 20 in long. He has a lot of hair. Well he came so fast that he aspirated some fluid. They took him right back to the nursery. For 3 days they really couldn't find anything wrong with him. He started doing better and was able to come out of the nursery for feedings and to see his brothers and sister. On Saturday they were going to let me take him home on oxygen and belly lights. There was one nurse convinced me to leave him one more night and have him off of lights and take him home the next day. So I stayed at my parents house because they live 5 minutes from the hospital around 3 in the morning I got a phone call saying that Ty's fever was 103 and his heart rate was 220. They needed my verbal permission to run all kinds of test. I hurried over to the hospital with my parents and Jeremy met us there. His little body was burning up. It was heart breaking to see his little body hooked up to all the machines. Finally that day we figured out he had pneumonia. He would have to be on antibiotics for 7 days before he could come home. That 7 days was full of emotions. I was torn between staying home with my other kids and being at the hospital with Ty. Lucky we have wonderful family that stepped up and took the kids everyday. The kids were awesome through the whole thing. By Thursday things were looking up. He became more alert and he finally started opening his eyes. They let me start to feed him as well. By Saturday he was doing well enough he got to come home on oxygen. It was like Christmas at our house. The kids were so excited to finally have there brother home. Ty is a joy in our family and we wouldn't change him for the world. He is a great sleeper and only wakes up once a night. We are still working on feeding, but he is getting better. He is 3 weeks now and it is going by way to fast if you ask me. As of Monday we are off of oxygen. That is the best feeling to be cord free. He is much happier as well. Thank you to all of my ward and family members who helped out for the last 3 weeks. The dinners and watching of my kids have been much appreciated.

Baby Ty

This is our new addition. Baby Ty.. He is one of the sweetest things to come into our lives. Right now he is still at the hospital and will for be at least another week. He has pneumonia. He is fighting with all he has right now. Please if you don't mind say a little prayer for him. We sure do love him and cant wait for him to come home to us.

Oh, how I love this kid.

Emma turns 5

Emma turned 5 this week. How time flies. We cannot believe that she is 5 already.
This is what we always remember her as when she was a baby. Just chunky as can be.

This was her on the morning of her birthday before school. She was so excited for the day to begin. For her birthday we had her party at Mcdonalds. The kids had fun playing and eating and just being kids. We sure do love her and she will always be the princess in the family mixed with boys.

Boys Camping Trip

Jeremy took Caleb camping this last weekend. They had to hike in and were really roughing it. Poor Jeremy I think carried both packs and Caleb at one point. Caleb loved every minute of it and they are counting down until they can go again.

New School Year

The kids started back to school a few weeks ago. (I know I am a little late) They love every minute of it.
Emma started kindergarten. She loves her teacher and comes home excited about what she does everyday.

Caleb started 1st grade. He loves going all day, eating lunch at school and his friends in his class.

Trumans love

This is Jocey. She is my neighbors little girl and she is 3 months younger then Truman. Truman is obsessed with her. He will walk around the house and say her name all day. The moment he sees her outside he is at the door crying wanting to go and play with her. They truly have a love hate relationship. It has gotten better over the last couple of months. I know in the future these 2 are going to give us an eventful teenage years. We love you Jocey.

First Stitches

Truman is by far my most adventurous child. I said when he started walking that he would be my first to have to have stitches. Yesterday morning he was in Jeremy's office and fell and hit his head on the corner of his desk. He cried for just a minuted, I gave him some love and went on my way. Not 5 minutes later I see blood dripping down his face. I took him in and they decided he needed stitches. He was amazing. He had to keep the cotton ball on his head for 30 min and I think he told me ouch twice.
When the Doctor came in to do his stitches he wrapped him up like a burrito and he just laid there. He didn't cry when he go the shot or the 3 stitches. By the time we got home you would of never guessed something happened to him. He got on his bike and we riding down the street.

I wish I could say this will be the last for him. But I know it isn't. He will keep me on my toes for the rest of my life. You just cant help but smile when you see these pictures.

Truman is 2!

Truman turned 2 this last week. I cant believe he is that old already. We had a little birthday for him at our club house. He got a new bike, a new car some books some awesome clothes and his favorite present by far was a Thomas the Train ride on toy. He still is very obsessed with trains. We love you Truman and here is to the next year of your life.

Disneyland 2010

We had the wonderful experience to take our kids to Disneyland. I cant even explain how magical it was. We went for 4 days which was perfect. Caleb was able to go on most of the rides and enjoyed them all. His favorite was Star Tours. Emma loved meeting all of the princesses. She also loved Splash Mountain and Buzz Lightyear. Truman was the cutest with the characters. The picture of him with Donald explains our whole trip. He loved Buzz Lightyear ride as well. The kids are already talking about when we are going back. I am glad that we took the time to do this as a family.
