Halloween 2010

After school on Friday we stopped off at the park for some Halloween pictures. Not to many of my Bear alone, he didn't want to cooperate, boo.

We went with a Toy Story theme this year and I am so glad we did. The kids are adorable.

That's my baby

We were enjoying a wonderful Saturday. The weather was just perfect. The kids were in great mood, riding bikes and drawing with chalk. And then I noticed Bear was writing some words. I encouraged him to put his words together and my buddy wrote his first sentence. That's my baby.

First Time

Little man rode his bike training wheel free for the first time this weekend. We are so proud of him. He seems to be naturally good at anything athletic. There will be a video to come soon.

Kati has been asking when I would get out the Halloween toys. I really didn't feel like it this year but she kept asking so I gave in. I thought since I got out the Halloween things I would picnik our picture "Halloweenish"

We found this mask in the dollar spot at Target. There were several types, lion, tiger, monkey, pig, kola. I wish I had some reason to buy a ton of them, they are so cute.

Staples Out

Timbo got his staples out Thursday and he did great. He did so great that I didn't even realize the Doctor had already started. He had 7 staples out in about 30 seconds. What a trooper. He didn't make one little peep.

We went out to eat afterwards. He looks like he likes it.

I think this maybe his favorite part about this restaurant, the candy when we leave.

Jeff took him for a haircut the next day to even it all out. It's super short but he looks great.

Random Pictures of Bo

Before Timothy's foot surgery they gave him "giggle juice" so that he doesn't mind leaving us later. Timothy is way too funny. He told us crazy stories, asked for wet blankets, asked weird questions. He called Jeffrey Brendon but what really tickled me was when Jeff would try and talk Timothy would squezze his lips together to stop him.
This is my Bo right after his foot surgery. He was SO upset. He cried himself back to sleep.
This was taken after his mole was removed. All the nurses teased about the head dressing and so did we. That is until we removed it and tried to add a new one. We couldn't get it to stay put. Guess the doctor knew exactly what he was doing.

Just liked his sweet face in this one.

This is a photo of his little mole that was removed. Just a little thing.

New Casting

When we go for new castings we bring our portable dvd player along for distraction. Jeff had the great idea to use headphones to drowned out the noise from the casts saw.

No gasping. His foot doesn't look just like this. I used picnik to change some coloring. For some reason the picture wasn't showing his cracked skin so I played with some colors and shadows until you could see it. This picture serves two purposes. I wanted to show you his poor cracked skin and the green balls on the pins. The one on the outside of his foot keeps turning and digging in to his cute little feet.

Dr McGoodDaddy uses pliers and turns them back. The sight makes me nauseous and hearing Timothy cry just breaks my heart. See the little dent in his foot from where the ball was turned the wrong way.

Poor guy got a couple of blisters from his last cast.

They padded him up extra good this time.

Bo went with green this time. I think it was a good choice.

I know it sounds like I am complain a lot but truly I am grateful. I don't understand all the things Dr. McGoodDaddy explains so sometimes it's hard to show my excitement with words because I couldn't tell you what the man just said to me. What I know is I trust Dr. McGoodDaddy and I trust Jeffrey so I just go with it. I know Bo is in good hands, it's just hard to watch sometimes.

God did this....

on purpose.





He knew that in order for children to make it to adulthood they MUST be adorable while sleeping to make up for all the hours they are awake.

Yumm-o?

From time to time I let the kids pick something new from the grocery to try. Our latest pick was coconut. It wasn't nearly as yummy as it was fun.

First Day of School

This was taken at Kati's birthday party. I just love this picture of him. So handsome!

Kitchen time

Fall is in the air. I'm getting the baking bug again. Another attempt at yeast rolls. Still not right but better than they have ever been.

One of Bo's favorite things is taking a bath. He has missed it with his cast but fortunately he enjoys his time in the sink as well.

Check out those abs. Where do I get some of those?

Piggy

Well over a year ago we noticed a brown spot on Timothy's scalp. It was as if it suddenly appeared, one day it was just there. More than one person tried to whip the dirt off of his head.

At his three year check up Jeffrey told me to be sure and point it out to his Ped. He looked it over and gave it a big name, Pigmented Nivus. In other words, mole. It wasn't raised up so it's hard for me to think of as a mole but that's what it was.

We went to the surgeon our Ped recommended and he thought it was a legitimate concern. Being that we can't see it when his hair is grown out and more importantly he can't check it as an adult he thought it should be removed. Nothing was wrong with it now but at some point it could be dangerous.

We went to have it removed last week. It went really well. He ended up with seven staples.

My girl

10 years

High school wasn't my thing. Never really was. For the first few weeks of ninth grade I nearly threw up every day. After some time I finally made some friends but they were all older than me. So when my 10 year reunion rolled around I finally decided I didn't want to pay money to go. Everyone I wanted to see again from high school I was already in touch with. Thank you FaceBook. But then I noticed our Homecoming Game was against Jeffrey's old high school.

I couldn't pass that up.

I thought it would be too fun for our family to go. We made Kati on my team, Bear on Jeff's and Timothy needed to be Switzerland.

We pumped the kids up all week long...... made them shirts to wear, taught them "trash talk" and I made them mums and guarders.

We had such a great time. We hooted and hollered. It was a blast watching the kids get in to it. Great game too. In the end my school won, 17 - 14.

the trash talk continues........
