Alyssa's Surgerey

As many of you know Alyssa had to have her her tonsils and Adenoids removed on Friday December 19 because she started having issues with sleep apnea. It was not serous but needed to be taken care of. She would snore so bad that some nights Summer would come in to my room and complain of hearing noises " Scary Noises" well it was always Alyssa snoring.

Alyssa has also been having problems with ear infections again so they replaced her ear tubes at the same time.

Alyssa had to be admitted in the hospital for obserevation following her surgereys. We were supposed to be able to take her home saturday morning but she would not drink fluids so we were not able to take her home untill late saturday night.

Since Alyssa's surgerey she has good days and bad days. But most every night she wakes up in alot of pain and just cries. We are having troubles with her drinking again because any time she drinks anything it comes out of her nose and hurts her. But other then that Alyssa is doing well. We are so glad everything went well.

My little Family

Mase is getting soooo big!

For about a week now Jamison has been trying to pull himself up from a laying position, so today I tried sitting him up by himself. He did so well sitting up but could not stay up for long before he would fold himself forward.

Such Happy kids :)

At work with Dad

These are obviously not recent pictures of Sum and Lys but I saw them for the first time today. So I felt the need to share. Summer used to love going to take lunch to her dad when he worked up Hobble Creek Canyon. He would always take a minute to put her in the backhoe and take her for a ride around the job site.

The Princess Ball

My little sister Mikayla was in a play and Summer and Alyssa were able to attend while I was in the Hospital having Jamison. They had such a fun time being able to dress up and be with all the princesses. After the "Ball" they came to visit Jamison and mom in the hospital.

YUMM Green Beans!

Today Mase had his first taste of baby food. He is three months old and weigh's 15.5lbs. I started him on food because he eats and eats and eats 8-10 ounces at a time and eats about every 4-6 hours. He did not know what to think of it at first, then he started to like it but in the end he started to gag on it.

It's Autumn!

The other morning Sum went outside and became very excited she noticed that the leaves had started to fall to the ground. She picked up an arm full of leaves threw them in the air and said "Look mom it's Autumn now!" I am not sure where she came up with the word Autumn because we have always refered to it as fall but still all the same she was so excited. When dad came home from work she asked him to rake the leaves so her and Lys could play in them.

Halloween

It was such a pain to find costumes for the girls Summer wanted to be Rapunzel but we could not find a Rapunzel costume and every time we asked Lys what she wanted to be she kept saying "ALYSSA"! No what do you want to dress up as like you can be Cinderella(her favorite character), a cowgirl,etc. No I want to be ALYSSA! So finally I decided to have Alyssaa dress up as a pirate because she always walks around the house saying I'm a pirate AAAR! And Summer found a sorceres costume that she liked at Walmart. Mase's costume was the easiest to figure out I wanted him to be a turttle because Nathan is all about turtles. Then was sold when I found one on disney shoppings website for $4.00
Summer and Lys had a lot of fun on Halloween they went trick or treating but only to a couple of houses because it started to rain which was fine with me because that means less candy that I have to keep away from Lys :) We also went to Auntie ms house where she had a fun party. they got to eat yummy food and play games with there cousins. Thanks M
