Jennika's Birthday Party!

Thanks to all who came to Jennika's party! It was a blast. She loved playing in the cake. Over all it was a VERY good party. Thanks Deb and Stan for all your help. We love you! Thanks again to all of those who came. She got lots of new, very cute clothes, new bracelets, a couple of baby dolls, and stuff to go along with the baby dolls such as two strollers, a car seat, a bassinet, a diaper bag, and all of the accessories that go in the diaper bag. Thanks everybody, she loves all of it!

Bath time

So the other night I was cleaning out the bath tub so I could give the kids a bath,(I had bathed the dog in the tub earlier that day), and all of a sudden it was NOT draining!! So I grabbed my tweezers and tried to pull whatever was blocking the drain. I got a little bit of hair but nothing too major, and the tub still wouldn't drain. So I asked Tyler to come down and see if he could fix it. He tried for a few minutes and the tub still wouldn't drain! So that is when I decided to just bathe the kids in the kitchen sink. I usually bathe Jennika in the sink anyways because for some odd reason she HATES the bath tub?! But it was very difficult to bathe a three year old in the sink, seeing as how he barely fit. But I got it all done and neither one of the kids wanted to get out of the sink. Plus, now Ayden thinks that he gets to take his bath in the sink all the time. How do you explain that to a three year old? Thank goodness for kitchen sinks huh? By the way, Tyler did eventually get the tub drain and now it works great.

Hope to see you all there!

Ayden's Tonsilectomy

Ayden had to have his tonsils taken out on September second and he did really well. They said his tonsils were EXTREMELY large for a three year old. He also had his adenoids removed and they told us that they too were EXTREMELY large and blocking most of his airway and his inner ears. We had his adenoids removed a couple years ago and they can apparently grow back and they did, about three times larger then they were supposed to be! So we have to go back in a couple of years and we might need to have them removed again! Poor kid huh? He was a real trooper though. They said that about four five and six days after the surgery would be the hardest but he did so well. I am very proud of him!

Kids

I just wanted to let you know what the kids have been up to lately. Ayden is doing great. We still have not heard about when he will start pre-school again, but I will let you all know when we do. Ayden loves to play on the computer as you can see and he is actually pretty good at it. He is still obsessed with Thomas the Train, but his new favorite movies are actually "The Aristocats" and "Peter Pan". Jennika is getting so big! She is going to be 1 in less then two weeks. Can you believe it? She thinks she is SO big. She is walking all over the place and she is starting to try and run now. It is so stinking cute. She refuses to eat baby food because she thinks she is a "big girl", she is also not on formula anymore and i don't think she is too fond of regular milk yet. Well that is all for now.
