1st birthday party

Sunday February 22, 2015

Keagan went to his first kindergarten friend party today. It was at Chuck E Cheese. He was so excited and had the best time. He LOVED playing all of the games with his friends. He was super excited that his "best friend" was also going to the party. They spent the entire time together.  I LOVE that he is making such good friends.

my sweet Taevon

Wednesday February 18, 2015

Tae had PT this morning. He is so tight and stiff I think he is constipated again. Poor kid. Even though he is stiff and not feeling his best he smiles. His smile melts my heart! I LOVE this little boy so much. He did so well in his gait trainer during therapy. After therapy I put him in his stander and he smiled the entire time. He has come so far in the last 2 years. I can't imagine the family without him. He is the sweetest little boy!

We are going to try Botox to help with his increased tone. I am praying that it makes a huge difference. His left arm is so tight and it is so hard to get his new brace on in the morning. I am looking forward to warmer weather so we can get outside. Taevon loves going for walks and swinging in the backyard. He is having surgery next Friday at Riley. I hate to put him through that but Dr C (urologist) says it needs to be done. Even though it is outpatient it is still very scary. The anesthesia loweres his seizure threshold and he just a had a very big one not that long ago. Hopefully after this surgery he will be done with any extra medical procedures. His routine appointments and therapy keep us busy enough!

Valentine's Day

Saturday February 14, 2015

Happy Valentine'sDay!! I LOVE holidays. The boys were very excited for today. They had a few surprises. I redid their bathrooom from Toy Story to Batman!! It was a hit!!!!


Aaron is feeling so much better. I couldnt help but kiss his sweet cheeks all day long. He LOVED his talking Jake.

Taevon on the other hand was NOT impressed with his activity ball. He is so funny and has some of the best expressions.

Nick and Keag were so happy to get Star Wars Itty Bittys. They have been talking about them for a few weeks.

I made cookies and cupckes for our game/movie night tonight. I am so lucky that these sweet little boys call me mom. I thank God every day for choosing me to be their mom. Loved spending the day with my 4 valentines!!

a trip to the dr

Wednesday February 4, 2015

Last night Aaaron started acting like he wasn't feeling well. He wasn't his normal happy self and his temp was very erractic. I stressed dosed him and kept a close eye on him during the night. Around 4am he woke up crying (which he never does unless he is sick) and with a temp of 102.9 (which is extremely high for Aaron, he usually runs in the 96's). I gave him some Tylenol and prayed we would make it until 8am when Dr C was open. He was starting to have seizures when I called and was lucky enough to get an appointment right away. I was hoping to see Dr C but he didnt have anything until 9:45a so I chose Dr S and was able to get right in. While I was talking to the phone nurse Aaron had a little seizures and I just knew thaat he was goingto be admitted. I prayed the entire way to the Dr thata he would be ok. I just kept thinking back to the last time he was sick like this, I waited to See Dr C at a later appointment and then ended up needing to call an ambulance. Once he got the the hospital he was in respiratory failure. I just prayed it was happening again.  And thankfully it wasn't.

We were also lucky enough to see Dr C instead of Dr S. He has an ear infection and a sinus infection. Dr C also said he had a virus because of the rash on his face and on both arms. Thank goodness his lungs sounded good and his heart rate was fine!! He put him on an antibiotic and will see us in 2 weeks for our next appointment. This sweet little boy amazes me everyday.

fun in the snow

Monday February 2, 2015

We are so glad we had a 3 day weekend. The boys could not wait to get outside and play in the snow. They had so much fun.

the little things

Monday February 2, 2015

Aaron is such a special little boy. He has taught me to always appreciate the small things, not to focus on the future, but to live in the moment. I cherish every second with this little angel. He LOVES Disney Junior. His favorites are Doc Mcstuffins, Mickey Mouse Clubhouse and Jake. He also absolutely adores Choo Choo Soul! Whenever he hears it he starts rocking and clapping. His face is priceless....

I am so thankful for these moments. There may be toys all over, dishes in the sink, laundry that needs to be folded and put away, but I am choosing to enjoy this time with my boys. Things eventually get done, but I know tomorrow with each of my kids isn't guaranteed.

Super Bowl party

Sunday February 1. 2015

Nick and Keagan were so excited to have a Super Bowl party this year. I bought decorations and made them cupcakes. We started the day off with football and helmet shaped pancakes. They watched the "puppy bowl" before the game. We also had some photo booth fun. I found some penalty flags and they had so much fun throwing them during the game. My sweet little Keagan only lasted until 9pm. Nick made ot to the end of the game. He had so much fun until the last20 seconds.  The Seahawks loss devestated him. He was so upset...
