More snow!!

Well this spring has been a very white one to say the least. It seems like every time the snow finally melts it comes back with a vengeance. Well I rented some lenses to try out so I just shot a few pictures of Boyd out in the snow.

Boyds' surgery

Well back in April Boyd woke up one morning rolling around on the ground screaming in pain holding onto his little junk. So I called the Dr and we went to see him and he told me that he couldn't find his right testicle. It had always been up and the Dr had always been able to pull it down but now he couldn't. So he sent us to see a pediatric urologist. So we went to the urologist and he said that he needed to have surgery to see if his testicle was stuck or what was going on. So on April 15th we went into surgery. It was suppose to be a simple routine go in and pull down his little testicle and close up the opening and be out. Well when they went in he saw that he actually didn't have a testicle on the right side at all. So he did a laparoscopy to make sure it wasn't up in his abdomen and still no testicle. SO he went back in and figured out that while Boyd was in utero developing it torsed or twisted on itself and died. So the Dr removed the tissue that was left and said he'll be fine and shouldn't have any trouble.

Boyd did awesome and I got to bring him back into the OR to be put to sleep and I was able to come back to the recovery room before he woke up so I was there while he was waking up. I thought it was funny that he wouldn't wear the blue cap they gave him so they let him wear his baseball hat back to the OR.

When he woke up he was starving since he hadn't eaten for 24 hrs so he asked for chicken nuggets from McDonalds. The nurse quikly said no he only could have clear liquids for the next 24hrs and being the good mom I am I took him straight to McDonalds on the way home and got him his nuggets ,fries and orange drink. He was so happy to have his food. He couldn;t walk for the rest of the night but that didn't stop him from scooting around on his butt to get around for the rest of the night.

Waiting for them to come get him.

That's enough of this hat. No more

Easter

Well this year we had Easter at our house. Dave's parents and his sister came over. We had just a small easter egg hunt inside cause it was too cold for an outside hunt. We had a traditional ham dinner with all the goodies and I loved cooking for everyone!

Aubrey checking out her basket. Lots of candy.

Boyd took his basket behind the couch to tally his loot. He got a way un NERF gun this year.

Crazy Week!

Well this week has been an interesting one to say the least. First last Sunday night I ended up in the ER with a kidney stone and possible gallbladder attack. So the drugged me up good and got my kidney stone taken care of and tested me for my gallbladder. All those tests came back normal so they said my gallbladder was fine. Well the pain in my upper right side wasn't going away so I went to the GI Dr and he said he wasn't really sure what was going on but if it didn't get any better to come back. So Sunday night at work the pain was horrible so I walked over to the Dr's office after I got off work on Monday morning and he decided to scope me on Tuesday to see if there was anything going on. Sure enough I have an ulcer! OUCH!! That's all I have to say about that. It hurts like a beast. Not the same as a kidney stone but it's a constant pain that just will not go away. So I'm on some meds now for that and hopefully it will get better soon.
Then yesterday we had a blizzard! What the crazy!! I have been wearing capris and shorts and so loving it and then this. We got a foot of snow here in Castle Rock and Aubrey didn't have school both yesterday and today. Dave's office closed at noon so they could make it home before it got to bad and then he didn't have to go in until late this morning. So the kids went out today and played in the snow with a little neighborhood friend. And yes Boyd is in pink snow pants. He doesn't have any that fit so he had to wear Aubrey's from last year but he had fun none the less.

Our House

So I know it's been forever since my last post but you know how it is moving into a new house and trying to get it together how you want it. Well it'll be a little while before the kids rooms are how I want and the living room is a work in progress mainly because it's so big I need to figure out how I want it set up but for now here it is.

Here is the entertainment center in the family/living room. I zoomed in from the front door. This room is huge!! I love it but it's hard to figure out how to arrange the furniture so that you can still see our little TV
Kitchen from the dining room

So there is the bottom floor anyway. When I get the kids rooms how I want them I'll put those up.

Christmas in February

My parents came to visit us as soon as we got into our house to help us get settled in and bring the kids Christmas to them since we didn't get to go to California for Christmas. My mom even brought a little Christmas tree for the presents to go under for them. She's the best meme anyone could ever ask for. It was awesome having them here for that week. The kids loved having them here as well. Boyd wore my dad out with all the baseball playing so he went an bought Boyd a T-Ball set. They ended up taking Aubrey back to California with them since she went off track a week after she started her new school. She was gone for 3 weeks and it was so she had a blast. She got to ride horses every chance she got and was spoiled rotten. WE ALL MISSED HER SOOO MUCH!!!!

Aubrey got High School Musical Dance Dance Revolution

Boyd got an airplane shooter. He loves this thing!

Tulips

These are just some picures I took of some tulips I bought so I was just playing with my camera but I thought they turned out pretty cool.

FINALLY!!!

So we finally got into our house YEAH!!! We closed on Friday afternoon and I went straight to Lowe's and ordered our refrigerator, and our dryer, bought a fan and paint and went over and started painting. Dave and I and his sister Lynsey and her hubby Jake painted until 3 am Saturday morning. Then moved all day Saturday and finished moving the rest over Sunday night. I LOVE IT!!! I'll post pictures when it's all put away. But for now I just wanted to update so you all know.
