Megan's Check up:)

The other day megan had her yearly appointment with her heart Dr. Victoria Judd. Megan was such a good girl this time. I think it gets better every year since she is older and knows what is going on. When she was little all she knew was some stranger was putting weird stickers on her with cords attached to them while mommy was holding her down. This time i told her ahead of time that the Dr. would be putting stickers on her belly then hooking long cords to the stickers. She did awesome she just laid there, i think it helped that i left brother & sister with aunt kari. THANKS KARI! four years ago in April Megan had open heart surgery to fix Atrial septal defect(ASD), Bicuspid aortic valve & Patent ductus arterious(PDA). I don't think i will EVER forget that day. After everything that happened that day including my little angel not wanting to wake up from the anaesthesia and a pic line going wrong and making her whole leg look black, and getting R.S.V a couple days after returning home. Man what a day, but she is totally healthy she is a very active, happy girl. When they went in to fix the two holes in her heart they found out that she has Wolff-Parkinson- White Syndrome (W.P.W) an extra airway to her heart. Someday she May have to have it fixed by going threw her thigh with a laser.

This is her scare today, it looks WONDERFUL. I am so grateful every day for my little Megan

Two parties in one day!

Saturday night we got invited to one of our friends little girls 1st birthday party. It was so fun it was a Hawaiian party, there was a yummy dinner & tons of entertainment. This is my little bubbas. My friend liz held him and danced with him he loved it.

These were the professionals, they were awesome. I sure wish i could move like that lol.

This was the girls watching all the dancers, they loved watching them then trying to do what the dancers were doing.

They looked kinda tired but they were honestly just beginning.

This is the birthday girl, with one of her presents.

My cute pregnant sister in law is having a little boy in march, so on Saturday i threw her a shower. She received tons of cute stuff.

I had lots of fun hollie, thanks for letting me do it for you. I can't wait to meet little Sawyer Dance

He cracks me up.

So this morning when I went in to get Jace out of his crib he gave me the cheesiest smile ever. He keeps smiling like this, it is so funny. Tonight dustin got the mirror from the bathroom and held it up to him and he smiled like this every time he would see himself.

He also got his second tooth today.

Jace made a friend

Today we went to the mall to run some aarons for my cute little grandma. And as the kids were playing in the play area i put jace in this little boat, which he loved and did not want to get out of. This cute little girl came and got in the boat with him, they were so cute they just kept smiling at each other.

This was also so funny he got in front of this mirror (kinda like one of those circus mirriors) and kept laughing at himself thinking it was another baby, he kept trying to grab his own hand in the mirror. So cute!

Tayler and megan made a friend too, but thats nothing new they make a friend ANYWHERE we go.

If it's not ONE it's the OTHER

A lot of this + A lot of this =

An ear infection & Really red sore throat.
Poor jace has had a high fever for two days. I took him to the Dr. tonight and he had an ear infection again and a really red throat. Megan just got over having some kinda bug, man i hate BUGS!

Happy birthday Brayden!

Where Does Time Go?

This was my little baby when he was still in the hospital. So little . Well we took jace for his 9 month check up and he is doing great. He weighs 20lbs. 6oz. And is 27.8 in. long. He had to get his heel pricked to check his iron & two shots, and man this kid is strong he didn't even really cry just turned to me after she put the band aid on and wanted me to hold him. I think he did better than his sisters will do next week, when they go in for their kindergarten check up & shots! Wish me luck.

Jace has brought us such joy, he is so happy ALL the time & we are just so lucky to have him in our lives. He is always on the go will not hold still for ANYTHING, he is getting brave and starting to let go of whatever he is holding on to. He is going to be walking before i know it, and I'm not sure i am ready. But i guess ready or not here it comes. When jace woke up this morning i changed his butt and forgot to throw the diaper out and left it sitting on his floor then i took him into the kitchen to feed him. When he was done eating i let him down to play while i was cleaning up and i heard him kinda making a choking noise so i peeked my head around the corner to see what he was doing HE WAS EATING HIS OWN POOP! After i about threw up i stuck him in the bath & scrubbed him down he just kept looking at me with a face like this tastes gross mom. Ya so sorry if you are totally grossed out but at least I'm not posting a picture:)( No i did not take one of that)

Good Morning Brother!

So this morning i woke up to the sound of Jace crying through the baby monitor. So before i could get out of bed and get to his room i heard him start laughing, so i stopped for a minute and just listened to him. So when i finally went into his room this is what i saw, his sister Megan had climed into his crib and decided to keep him company.
