TONSILS

Holy moly, am I glad that's over!! It was awful - not the surgery, the recovery. Daxton went in to have his tonsils and adenoids removed last Wednesday. I thought I was going to bawl my head off when they took him away from us but the way they did it was so quick and easy. Also, Nate had given him a really neat blessing the night before and I know that helped all of us. The surgery went really well, only twenty minutes. The doctor came out to talk to us as soon as he was finished and said his tonsils and adenoids were HUGE and that is was a very good thing that they were out. They let us go back as soon as he was waking up and that's when I got sad. He was so scared and confused, it broke my heart. It took a while to calm him down but once he did he was fine. He walked right out of the hospital like nothing had happened and at this point I was thinking it was going to be a walk in the park. Man was I wrong! We stopped to fill his prescription on the way home and stupid Walmart took forty five minutes to fill it. Then he threw up in my mom's car, poor kid!
The first day really wasn't too bad, mostly a lot of laying around. The second day started getting worse with a lot less eating and drinking and a lot more crying! Third day, was from hell!!! He was hysterical most of the day and there was nothing I could do to console him. He was in so much pain, he wouldn't swallow his spit! So now were are to day six and today was actually pretty good. Hopefully it will just get better from here.
It's so hard to watch your kids go through something like this and not be able to fix it. Anyway, so happy we're to the end of it and here are some pics from his big day!

Waiting for things to get movin!

He was feeling pretty cool at this point. Poor little guy, he wouldn't be smiling if he knew how he was going to be feeling in a half hour!

This was in recovery. And pretty much how he has felt until today!

New Stuff

Here are some pics from the last couple of weeks! Nothing too exciting but fun to share!

We went up the cabin with our friends the Kendalls and this is the only picture I took the entire time, I'm lame! It was way fun though and Daxton got to play with Kinley who he loves.

PEACH DAYS!! Most of you know how much I love Peach Days and this year was just as good as the rest. Here is Dax with his cousins watchin the parade.



Yesterday we went to the Weber State, Dixie game to watch Dan (Nates brother). This was Talans cute little outfit for the night. Boys really are fun to dress up!

Oh my heavens, need I say more!

Seriously, are these not the cutest things ever? My mom bought these for him and they are too cute!!

Daxton & Uncle Dan after the game.



This pic is so funny, I had to post it! He was over football at this point.

This was today before church. I love that I get to dress them the same sometimes.


So that's it, nothing too exciting. Talan had his appointment this week and he is in the 95th percentile for height, the 85th percentile for weight and the 75th percentile for head size so yeah, he's a chubs.
Daxton is getting his tonsils out on Wednesday and I am not looking forward to it. He's got really big tonsils and is always getting sick so his doctor wants them out, and his adenoids. So that will be a yucky day but I will post all about it.

WOW!!!!

The season 4 premiere was tonight and can I just say, OH MY GADS! We love this show and have been so excited for it to start again. This was the perfect way to kick it off, I thought.

Also, this........

For those of you that have not seen this, start at season one - you won't regret it!
