Picture Day

I asked for a picture and he had to pose immediately after i asked

How can you not love that smile

Today was school picture day and i am hoping the pictures turn out good. Still hoping his front teeth come in soon but either way he sure is handsome and a very good model!

Skyler's 3rd Birthday

Skyler and Kaden with Chuck E Cheese

Skyler and his Hotwheels cake

He was so happy

Love that face chapped cheeks and all


Skyler's birthday was on Sept 3rd and he turned 3! We had his party on Sept 5th at none other than Chuck E Cheese. Yes this was his 3rd time having it at Chuck E Cheese which means all his parties have been there. Do i care NO! That was his special day and that is where he wanted to have it. We are not real wealthy and do not get to take the boys to alot of places so i have no problems making them happy and doing things when we can. Anyways he had a wonderful day and for days after wanted to go back to his birthday party and told me i had a good birthday mommy. That really does make it all worth it for me!

I'm Back and Kaden's First Day of School

First Day of 2nd Grade

Outside his classroom

Skyler had to get on the action

First day of second grade


Hoping to get back in the swing of blogging more often again. These are pictures from Kaden's first day of school. My old background is no longer available so i have this one up until i can find and install a new one.

Update on Boy's

For those that have wondered why i have not been posting and putting up new pictures it is because for some reason the blog will not let me add pictures. Not sure what is going on but until it is fixed i can not add pictures. I am adding pictures on Facebook for those that have an account on there.
Kaden is doing pretty good only has a couple more weeks of summer school left. He had his last T-Ball practice Thursday night and he has a game Saturday and Wednesday and then we are done with our make-up games. He is very excited for school to start back up as that is when soccer starts, they do take sponsors so if you are interested in helping him out let me know. Two days after summer school ends then Kaden will be having his surgery to remove his tonsils and adenoids.

Skyler is also doing very well has a little summer cold right now but it does not seem to be slowing him down any. He is sleeping in his toddler bed finally and we are slowly working on potty training. He has entered the whiny and crying over everything stage which is not very fun at all. Put that with Kaden's meltdowns and my day is shot. Haha He dresses up in Kaden's ball uniform from when he was 3 and cry's cause he can not go out on the field and play ball but he does sit with the team and practices before the game. He also cry's cause he wants to go to school also.

Skyler's Haircut

So cute, as you can see they cut a lot off!

Kaden's First Music Program

Pic at home before we left

Have lot's more pictures from the big event but they are posted on my facebook so you will have to see them there. Kaden done really good at his program and was sad when it was over in 30 mins. They sang five songs but to him that was not enough. LOL Hoping for the rain to go away so Kaden can have his game in the morning and not have yet another one to make up. Then we are headed to Grandma and Grandpa Bell's house for the rest of the weekend!

Skyler

Love that smile!

Tulsa Trip

This was the second half of the trip to Tulsa, Skyler decided to entertain himself

while Kaden decided to sleep the second half!

We finally made it down to Tulsa to visit and enjoy Easter there. It had been way too long since the last time we visited when Skyler was just a few months old. We have decided that we are going to try our hardest to make it there to visit more. It would not be so hard except for the darn gas prices, hopefully that will change soon. Anyways the boys had a blast and the Easter Bunny managed to find them even though we were not home.

Kaden got his progress report and he is doing very good in everything minus money he is below average in that one area. He is doing well in T-Ball too we have had three practices now and only had one rain out practice. We managed to sell all 80 candy bars so thanks to all our family and friends that helped support Kaden's ball team. Hopefully next week we will get a game schedule and shirts and hats for the team.

Skyler is doing well also, getting bigger and talking in complete sentences although he has been doing that for a long time now. Everyone that sees him while we are out can not believe that he is only two years old! You can tell it has been getting warmer as he has been playing outside a lot and both knees are scraped up a few times each. I think while in Tulsa he fell in the driveway at least five times. Dad and Mom both said the Easter Bunny should have brought him some knee pads. LOL

Kaden's Spring School Picture

Nice Weather

The boy's enjoyed the nice weather today playing outside with their water table

Had to bring his car seat inside to clean it and he wanted to try it after it was done

Trying to get a good picture of the boy's together for Aunt Tia but they were not cooperating

Well most of you know by now that after two trips to the doctors last week Kaden has pneumonia again. We did find out that he has an Iga deficiency immune disorder which is why he keeps getting so sick. Unfortunately there is no cure for it and nothing you can do to protect him from getting so sick all the time. We did get good news today that they will be taking his tonsils and adenoids out in July. He is looking forward to playing more T-ball and our upcoming trip to Tulsa.

Skyler

Just love this picture of Skyler he is such a cutie!

Kaden's Hospital Stay

This was still in the ER hours after waiting and just got the iv in for the second time, first one the vein blew right after getting it in

Settled in the room early the next morning

sleeping and clutching the reward he picked for getting another blood draw done

not feeling too good

wants to go home but is still too sick

Before we got discharged Kaden finally trying to have a little fun


As most people know by now Kaden was in the hospital for three days with Pneumonia and what everyone thought was the flu but turned out to be some nasty bug with flu symptoms. He started not feeling well Saturday and by Sunday morning was awful and just crying in pain so i took him into the ER only to be sent home after 3 hours. After we got home he continued to get worse and by Monday could not even sit up or walk as he was in so much pain and very sick. So i called and they had me bring him back in and after the first doc was just going to send us home again his supervisor came in and after taking one look at Kaden knew things were not right. She ordered all the appropriate tests and xrays and said he was not leaving he needed to be admitted. As she put it he is one very sick little boy. His heart rate was high and his pulse rate was high as was his white count which ended up being even higher the next day and his temp was 103.8. He was started on iv fluids as he was not able to eat or drink and keep it down, two iv antibiotics and tamiflu. We were put in a room on 6 Henson and he was under partial isolation which meant he could not go to the play room or anything and people could only come in if they wore a mask. He also was on a liquid/clear diet only, which he complained about after a day but then once he was cleared to eat he didn't want it after he ordered it anyways. We were discharged Wednesday afternoon and he is doing better now still not feeling 100% but better and went back to school like he wanted. He was really upset as Monday there was a field trip and since he was so sick he had to miss it. He told me that some of the kids at school were actually making fun of him because he missed it which i thought was horrible. Hopefully he is on the mend and we wont have to go through that again.

Kaden's School Injury

This would be the result of a little boy in Kaden's class deciding that he would shove Kaden into one of those big wooden railroad ties on the playground. Luckily he didn't get hurt any worse than this cause it could have been really bad!

Couple of pics

I just love this pic of Kaden

He likes to multi-task color and eating lunch at the same time

Update

Poor Skyler and his reaction to nuts, his lip was huge after i took this pic and notice the redness around his face

This is from a little while back but i love his grin

Back when Kaden was sick in December i think and had also hurt his finger which is why they taped it

He has not been letting me take pics here lately so i had to pull out a couple of older ones to post

Everything is going okay right now both boys are healthy right now and Kaden's parent/teacher conference went really well. He was only below average in one thing and doing so much better than he was months ago. His teacher had a baby and so he has a sub teacher. She remembers him from last year and how much he struggled every day. She can not believe that this is the same Kaden. He came home on Wednesday and was chosen as outstanding music student for the week! He is so excited cause he got his picture taken and a certificate posted in the school, gets to pick a dessert of his choice and gets to have lunch with his teacher next week.

Sickness

Skyler fell asleep shortly after they got the 6th iv to work

After they got it in he was not amused

This was the first one after it blew

Not feeling well at all

Fell asleep waiting for the docs to come in

His body finally gave out and he got a little rest

Relaxing on the couch while sick

First night of being really sick


As most people know Skyler was pretty sick for about two weeks but is finally feeling better. He did have to go and get IV fluids as he went for almost 7 days with no food by mouth and only a few sips to drink here and there. Unfortunately the first 5 tries blew and on the 6th one it finally worked. After the first 3 blew they had someone come up from a different clinic with a doppler and using a bigger needle. Of course Kaden caught strep right before Skyler got sick so we had fun around here and he missed a whole week of school. Thankfully we finally got the ok to go and see ENT about getting his tonsils removed but we do not go there until the end of March.

Snow Play

Playing in the snow before the last storm hit

He was waiting for me to get him up so he did not mess up his snow angel

Enjoying Hot Chocolate and.....

lots of marshmallows with warm pjs.

Coming out from under the snow pile

Tommy and Kaden are under there

Skyler playing in the snow

Daddy and Kaden all that snow is just from our driveway so you can see we got tons.


Kaden has now been back to school for two days now and things are calming down and he is doing better at home again after that long break. It was a very long 3 1/2 weeks out and very trying but we made it. Hopefully when summer break rolls around things will go easier. It would have been easier but with the bad weather and the fact that they refuse to treat our street then we were stuck at home everyday. Kaden continues to do well in eating and for the first time ever in his life he started eating a little bit of lunch meat, every once in awhile he will have a hotdog, applesauce, ravioli and my 6 1/2 year old will finally eat pizza. Hard to believe the child who ate only chips, chicken nuggets and french fries is now starting to eat every day foods. We are very proud of him and he continues to do wonderful in school and we only hope that it will start carrying over to home more often as well. He has had a really hard time in his short life and we are so proud that he is doing as well as he is today.

Skyler is doing really wonderful as well he knows his Abc's, knows most of his letters, can count really well, he says Please and Thank you, learning colors but does know some and we are getting ready to start potty training again. Whenever you change his diaper or do anything for him he says Thank you Much. Although he has picked up a few of his big brothers tantrum tactics, he is doing great. We really do not spank him he usually will do a time out if he gets in trouble. Of course if we could get past the boy's fighting with each other most of the time then life would be a lot better. But i have hope that as they are getting older that will change.
