Surgery...


Last week we took Jaden to Pensacola to a pediatric ENT to do an exploratory surgery (airway exam). He did so well. The surgery was a pretty simple procedure but I was really worried about the general anesthisia. In the waiting room they gave him some "happy juice" to prepare him to go back into surgery. You can tell in the next picture he was kind of out of it. It was sad but he was so cute. We were watching Shark Tales and he kept smiling and reaching out saying "come back here". The fish were apparantly swimming out of the TV. He was trying to grab them. Then he said. "Now, I'm watching two TV's." When they took him back it was so sad. I can't explain the feeling but we knew the risks and he had no idea.
Jaden woke up from the anesthisia really well. (I guess some kids go crazy). The Dr. said that he has irregular folds on his vocal cords which is what is causing his hoarse voice. They don't want to remove them because it could damage the vocal cords but with voice rest he will be able to control it. (voice rest.......ha ha ha, maybe when he is older :) ) I love Jaden's little voice! Now I can enjoy it without worrying that something might be wrong. I love you Jaden!!

1 Month already






Colter is such a sweet baby! I took these pictures when he was about 3 weeks old. He is already 1 month old now. Today while I was holding him Laighton said something that made me laugh and Colter chuckled a little. It was so cute!!








My Boys


Signs of the Next Generation

  • The ONLY thing that Jaden (4) wanted for Christmas last year was a REAL cell phone. Apparently, Santa's elves do not make those. :)


  • The other day Kaelor (2) was dancing around the living room. There was no music but he was holding my small white vinyl scraper in his hand. I asked him what he was doing. He held up the scraper and said... "MY IPOD IS PLAYING THE SUNBEAM SONG"


  • Trevin(6) loves his MP3 player. He knows how to use it better than me. I walked into the room the other day and found him listening to it. I love this picture.
