We are glad to finally say that Tyler has had his surgery and it was successful.
He has a frankinstein scar that measures six inches towards his lower back. He has started school again and just taking things slow. Thanks to his parents, he can lounge in his recliner pretty much all day.
Merry Christmas! Our kids were happy to find nerf guns to fight with, Scooby Doo toys which are a hit with Sally and some goloshes for me so I can get our eggs from our chickens even if it is stacked with snow outside. Tyler was also excited to get some tools that he probably won't be able to use for a very long long time seeing as he can only pick up to ten pounds right now.
Happy Birthday Sally! She had a ton of friends over for a scooby doo party. She loved her cake and the games and her new toys from everyone. I can sincerely say that she was spoiled. The most anticipated things she got were a pillow pet, a basket ball jersey (she wants to be a basketball star!), the scooby gang figurines...
Happy Birthday Daddy! Tyler was able to rough house before he got his surgery. I cooked him cinnamon rolls so we wouldn't get too sick of cake and because we were lacking candles, he got a great big one. The kids are as fascinated with the fire as he is and each kept taking turns blowing his candle out. It was a very used and loved candle.
Here is Sally with her orange(ish) basketball jersey. She keeps begging me when she can start playing it
The best Christmas present of all was to see our new little addition to our family. We are calling her Annie and haven't quite set on a middle name if any. If you ask me this looks like Sally. Annie has things functioning well and her heart beats great. After all that has happened, this was a sigh of relief to us. We are so very blessed.
I have loved having this happy little boy around. The little things that he does makes each day special and happy to be a mother. I also buzzed his head. Talk about a step back. He looks bald.
Our Easter was great! Thanks to the Butterfields for sharing this time with us! It really kept me busy and sane since Tyler wasn't able to be with us.
Randy had a fun birthdat party!! Thanks for everyone that attended. We had a full house and Randy was very tender hearted with his bear cake. My mother put his hands down the frosting and he did not like any of that or any of the attention. He cried! I was happy to get a new mixer (thanks everyone!) We have had a lot of goodies and treats with it. Hope I don't gain too much weight with it!
Here is our fun Christmas that we had this year. Sally asked Santa for a yo-yo and Randy was just happy to be there. We also were able to visit both of our families during the holidays. Thanks for letting us visit.
Sally had a lot of fun getting lots of candy. Tyler dressed as a cowboy and Randell was a butterfly. It was also neat because Sally found a ladybug just outside our home as we went to go trick-or-treating!
This is a fun little park that Mindy my sister took us to. Her and Gracie loved swinging.
Here is a picture Sally made with some stickers Grandma Steadman sent to her. She was so excited to get a letter. I was amazed when I came to check on her how many people she had drawn just like this one. But I told her this one was my favorite.
