Easton's big Surgery

Today Easton had to have his tubes in his ears removed and then replaced and have his adenoids taken out. He was so brave. He didn't even shed a tear. The surgery took about 40 minutes, but we were there for 3.5 hours. He was a super trooper. All of the staff at the hospital were wonderful. They were so nice and good to him, they were very kid friendly and made the experience a fun one. Dr. Major's said that adenoids usually come out in tiny pieces, but Eastons were huge and actually came out in a big mass. Now breathing won't be so hard and his sleep apnea will disappear.

I can't believe how well he is doing he is a strong little boy. He has only fussed once today and we were 2 hours overdue on his pain meds. He is an amazing little boy, we love him and are so happy that everything was better than expected.

Good job Easton, I am very proud of you.

We love SUMMER!!

Ridng bikes is one of Easton's favorite past times. He goes all over. He gets "lost" sometimes when he goes through the tall weeds, but always finds his way home.

This was a fun trip to home depot. I thought these pictures were cute. And somehow it seems as though Home Depot is a place you always end up...especially in the summer.



We have so much fun playing outside... riding bikes, watering the garden, swinging, going to the park, watching the clouds and chasing birds. We usually have a pic-nic so the boys will eat their lunch. We are having a really fun summer!

It's the little things that seem to keep the boys happy. Like this flower, the birds, the clouds, rocks, dirt and bugs. Easton often goes exploring, which soon I will elaborate on, because it deserves it's own post.

Hogle Zoo

We went to Hogle Zoo with our monthly playgroup. It was a lot of FUN! My cute sis. in-laws came along to play and were a HUGE help to all of us moms and our kiddies. Thanks L and M.

Mason LOVED the animals. He wanted to run all over like the big kids.

I think the little guy is wondering...what are all these kids looking at?

Easton loves snakes and this one is a MONSTER.


All the kids loved the turkeys. Especially Evers, he was chasing them all over.

We had a little birthday party for Evers. He turned the big 2, we sang and ate twinkies with our lunch. HAPPY BIRTHDAY EVERS! We love you.

5 little monkeys

Here is the new baby Giraffe. It was so cute. It's mom came inside when all the people came in to look at it, and was very protective of the little one. It was very sweet. I loved his long eyelashed and fuzzy little horns.
Thanks for coming everyone we had a great time. See you next month.

Bob & Marlee

You would think Mason would be overwhelmed by these huge dogs, but he LOVES them. In this picture Bob tipped Mason over with a big ol' kiss. Luckily Marlee was there to catch him.

Bob & Marlee are Dalton & Holly's dogs. Dalton got Marlee as a new little puppy and Easton grew up with here. She is an amazing dog. She and Easton have a bond. Marlee looks after Easton by keeping him out of the road, and keeping all other dogs or strangers away from him . She is very smart and to this day she still takes care of him like her own baby puppy.

Dalton got Bob as a puppy too. Believe it or not Bob is only 8 months old. His relationship with the boys is very different. He is very playful, he loves to lick the boys, and sometimes he is too much for them, but the boys always come back for more.

The dogs are very well behaved. Easton can tell them to sit or lay down and they do it. I really like these dogs, they are beautiful, smart and pretty good babysitters too.
