fair 2015

July 2015

We took the boys to the AC Fair. We had so much fun. It was so nice spending the time with the boys while Tae and Aaron spent time with grandma and grandpa.

The boys each played a carnival game and won a stuffed animal. They rode the Monster Truck twice, (NIck's favorite)  and we watched the rick shaw races. We saw the hot air ballons lift off and then glow later in the evening (my favorite) Keag's favorite was when they got into the helicopter from Lutheran. Seeing them in their flight suits reminded me of when Aaron was so sick and we took him to Dupont ER. They decided he needed to go to the Lutheran PICU and was taken by ambulance by the flight team.
 They ate ice cream and we rode the tractor around the fairgrounds. It was so much fun. They are already talking about what they want to see next year.

festival fun

July 18, 2015

The boys really enjoyed the festival this year. They had so much fun with all of the different activites. They got to take helicopter rides, roll around in these huge balls. They bought laser guns and Keagan got to eat some festival food.
During the helicopter ride Keagan was so excited to see Science Central, and the skate park. Nicholas was so excited when he saw a x shaped pool and the rivers. They both got to sit in the front with the pilot and talk to him during the ride. After the ride Nicholas was talking about all the rides he now wants to ride at Disney. He said he can ride any high ride now because he has been up in a helicopter.

I am looking forward to all of the fun activites at the county fair and hoping we can get out as a family. (as long as the temp is ok for Aaron)

zoo

July 2015

I am so excited that the zoo opens at 8am during the month of July. This allows Aaron to be able to go so we can all go as a family. We had such a good time this mornng. Aaron loved all of the sounds and Taevon just like s being on the move in his wheelchair. Nicholas and Keagan had fun running around and seeing all of the animals without a crowd. The zoo was empty this morning!

LOVE my family!!

July 4th

July 4, 2015

We had the best day today. We got up early and went to the playground. We had it all to ourselves. Aaron and Taevon LOVED the swings. Nicholas and Keagan ran up and down the big hill until they were exhausted. I love it when the whole family gets to spend time together. So I often I split my time between Nick, Keag and Aaron and Tae.  I often feel like I don't have enough hours in the day to get everything done. I have tons of laundry, dishes, cleaning, making dinner, ironong, dr appointments, therapy, sport practices and playdates, making and changing appointents, pulling meds, feeds every 3 hours, ordering meds, picking up meds, calling drs about new or worse symptoms, and arguing with insurance. Sometimes it is a bit overwhelming. But then I look at my sweet little boys and it is so worth all of the extra work. I feel so lucky to be the mom of these 4 amazing little boys. God has blessed me with so much and I have so many reasons to be thankful.

I LOVE these boys!!

Nicholas and Keagan went to the baseball games and saw the fireworks. They had a great time.

backyard fun

June 2015

The weather this summer has been weird. Lots of rain and lower temps. The boys were so excited to finally be able to get outside and have some fun. They played with water ballons and the sprinkler. I LOVED hearing them laugh.

splash pad fun

June

I have been taking the boys to the splash pad after I put Tae and Aaron to bed. We have had so much fun. I LOVE spending time with each of the boys 1:1.  They love the playground and so far it hasn't been very busy.

Tae's 8th birthday

June 2015

Happy Birthday Taevon.

I can't believe he is 8 years old. Time is going way too fast. Taevon is the sweetest little boy. He has a smile that lights up the room and the sweetest giggle. I love this little boy and enjoy our afternoons together. I am so lucky to be his mom!! We had a Dr Seuss party for him this year. He loved the balloons we put in his bed this morning. He is learning to do new things like reach his arm up when he wants picked up, and he is sitting up so much faster. He has overcome so many obsatcles and I am so excited to see what all he learns to do this next year.  I lOVE you Tae Tae.
