The DONUT MONSTER!!!!

Dallas' parents came in to town this past weeked. They stayed at our house from Sunday to Monday. Sunday night Dallas' Mom made donuts. Mind you this was around 10:30pm or 11pm. Anyways the kids were still up visiting and and I was talking with Dallas' Mom when Gavin comes up to the table and yells "MOM... PAISLEY" I turn around and found her indulging on the pan of donuts. She had the biggest smile when I turned around like ha ha beat you to it!! She would take a bite, put it down and continue until it was gone!! What a little stinker

My Gavin...

He's such a sneaky little guy, all week he's told me that he doesn't have to bring his backpack to school today because they're going to the zoo.... then this morning he grabs his backpack and I said "I thought you didn't have to take a back pack" he said "Yes I really do need to... " I said "are you sure?" and he said "POSITIVE" then he had put a toy in the side pocket (Which NO toys are allowed at School) and so he takes out that side toy with me watching as to show me he isn't taking any toys, then I pick up his back pack to put his sack lunch in and his backpack weighs 20 lbs so I unzip it and there is his whole backpack stuffed with zoo animals.. seriously I was like GEEZZ.... Then I open the front zipper of his backpack and there are a couple more.. then I open the 1 pocket and before I can see what's in there Gavin says "Donkey" and then I open the next and he says "Zebra" Anyways I emptied out the whole thing and sent him on his way... but holy cow... if he didn't have a sack lunch he would have fooled me!!

Update on Bronson's Noggin' :)

We were able to meet with the occupational therapist today. They gave him the "diagnosis" of Left Muscular Torticollis/Plagiocephaly. Basically his left side of his neck is tight and his right side is weak. His head is 12 millimeter off from each side... basically if you make an X on the top of his head and measure each diagonal then that is where the 12 millimeters off. They said if he was 6 months he would need to have a helmet. We have to do exercises with his neck 3 times a day with him and go to occupational therapy once a week for 3 weeks and then we will see what the plan is for there. He could still end up with a helmet which from what I've heard he'd have to wear 23 hours a day for as long as 9 months YIKES!! We'll see how much improvement he has!!

Out of the mouth of Paisley!!!

Okay... so really this little girlie hardly talks at all... I'm sure its normal and I should be glad that its just jibber jabber for now since she doesn't go very long without making some sort of talking noise. I'm sure she'll end up just like her brother who can't and I mean seriously can NOT stop talking. But so far she has been able to learn a couple of words.. if only I could get them on camera... here's the vocabulary so far

*Ma or Mama*

(1st word by the way!!!)

*Da or Dada

(you will ALWAYS hear her say Da if Dallas comes home or even if she sees a picture of him... sooo. cute!!)

*CHEESE*

(She's trained.. soo many pictures!!)

*Night Night*

*Awww*

(this does count as a word for her! Anytime she sees a baby or holds her baby dolls she'll say AWWWW*

*Grrrrraaaaannnnddddmmmmaaa*

(seriously that's the only way she can say it is if she drags it out super long!!)

*Juice*

*HI*

and new as of today

*NO NO* (UH OH)

She does know how to understand quite a bit though, its amazing that these little kiddos can!! She knows where her Nose is and if you ask her to show you she'll make a honking noise! ha! She knows to get a diaper and put her diaper in the garbage, She knows to get her baby dolls, blankie. When Bronson cries she'll try and give him his binkie... When she's tired she'll sometimes bring me her blankie and say night night...

So there you have it... a baby Genius in the making!! :)

Curlers disaster

Man, this little girl knows how to rip my excitement to pieces.. literally!! ha ha ha!! I went in to get her this morning and she had ripped the rollers out of her and then ripped them to shreds. and the couple of curlers that survived were halfway pulled out so they didn't curl anyway... FANTASTIC!! So no pictures of a girlie with cute little curls in her hair.... I'll have to try it another time!!

Pictures

Here's a couple picture of the kids and a family picture. We went to Sugarhouse park

HA HA HA LOOK AT HER FINGER!!!!!

Curlers!!

I put curlers in Paisley's hair tonight!! I was definately more excited than she was!! ha ha!! I remember having these in my hair when I was little... we shall see what her hair looks like tomorrow!!

Dr Visit

I had to take Paisley and Bronson in for their well child checks (Paisley's 15 month and Bronson's 2 month.) They are late in getting them done but I forgot that Paisley needed a 15 month checkup and I've been to the Dr's so often with Bronson I spaced his... anyways a month late but we still got them done!
Here are the updates

Paisley: Had to get 2 shots and she screamed louder than ever and was kicking the guy giving her the shots.. She was NOT happy. She has lost weight, which the Dr said is concerning since they shouldn't be loosing at this point. She weighs the same as she did when she was 10 months old. So for her weight she is in the 25 percentile (she used to be in the 85, 80 or 79%) and for her height she is in the 73rd. She also has ANOTHER ear infection... I mean seriously how many more can this little girl get... I can practically diagnose them myself now, I told the Dr which ear it was and he confirmed that she has another one.... so once again another antibiotic...

Bronson: Had to get 3 shots, he cried less than Paisley! (Guess he's not a Drama Queen!) He is in the 21percentile for his weight and in the 42 percentile for his height. We got the results back from his head scan and the plates haven't fused together (Thank goodness) so he has an appointment on the 29th with an occupational therapist to see what they think... I told the Dr that I will go to the 1st appointment and see what they have to say, but I won't keep going if they are going to teach me how to make him not sleep on the flat side, since he doesn't sleep on it anyway.... so we shall see.

Well that's the updates.... Both the kids are sleeping, they are exhausted I'm sure... and I generously gave them Tylenol before they got their shots!!! I'm such a good Mom I know!!

A Day at the Park

Yesterday after Dallas got home from work and my daycare boy was picked up we took the kids to the park. Its not far from our house so we just walked there (Thank goodness for a double stroller!!!) Paisley hasn't been to a park to actually play on the slides or anything so it was fun to take her. She LOVED it!! She was going down the slides non stop. Gavin bought a kite a while ago and we took that with us and he flew it for a little bit... it wasn't windy enough to keep it up for very long but he still loved it.

ALL GIRL

Dallas' mishap

Here's a picture of Dallas' eye... its the result of him Defending a Womens Honor... I mean slaying the Dragon for the Princess.. Just kidding, it is from Dallas playing Basketball at work and getting elbowed in the nose!! Thought it was pretty funny!!

Visit With the Easter Bunny

I forgot to post about this... Dallas and I took the kids to see the Easter Bunny... I was sure that Paisley would have NOTHING to do with him so I told the lady that she is going to scream and she said "we'll put her on his lap last then" I thought good idea because you are going to have half a second to try and snap a picture. So we got Gavin and Bronson situated and then Paisley was put on his lap and she LOVED it!! WHAT???? We were shocked! The kids were cute though and the picture turned out cute!!

Bronson's noggin

I've been meaning to update on here about Bronson, some of you already know about this, if so sorry for the repeat!
A couple weeks ago I noticed that the right side of Bronson's head is flat... the flat where a baby has slept on one particular side more than the other... so I started watching how he slept and which side he slept on, since I know that thier heads can go flat if you don't alternate sides... anyways I watched him for a few days and he ALWAYS sleeps on the left side of his head. Anyways I had to take him in about a cough he's had and figured I'd ask the Dr what he thought about the flat part. He had us go to Primary Childrens and have a skull scan done, they did 4 different scans and I should know the results some time this week.
From talking to the Dr he said it could be that the plates in his head fused together too soon which results in the head being shaped wrong. If this is the case it will require surgery in which they will have to un-fuse the plates in his head.... We're hoping and praying that this is NOT the case.
I will update with any results that I recieve...

Easter, Blessing and Birthday!!

****Sorry for the picture overload!!***

Today we had quite the busy day. This morning the kids got up and he Easter Bunny made a stop at our house!! Gavin was so excited to see what was left for him. Paisley didn't really know what to think at first. Then she saw all the eggs around the house and she was SO much fun to watch!! She got so happy with each egg that she found and would bring it right over to her basket! She was so cute!! Gavin found a bunch of eggs and some even had nasty bugs in them that he just loved!! I had so much fun watching my kids get so excited about Easter!

Afterwards we had to get the rest of the food ready for the luncheon that we were having after church for Bronson's blessing. We got to church early for once!! Dallas gave Bronson the blessing and we had our family and friends there to celebrate this special day with us!

After the blessing we had the luncheon which turned out nice. It was also my birthday so we had cake and ice cream to go along with everything else!!

It turned out to be a great day. I'm thankful for all the family and friends that came to support us with Bronson and to help celebrate, especially with today being Easter and everyone having their own things to do!!
