The Zoo

Here are some pictures from our adventures at the zoo.




My sister and her daughter Athena.

Sooo tired. Colton catching some zzzzz's going home.

Summer!!

Colton loves his little pool. He really likes the whale slide and would happily let you help him up it over and over and over again. Whew, this little kid gives me a workout!




He loves to play with his cousin McKenlie. Because he thinks playing involves torturing her I am not sure she really enjoys playing with him. Look how darling she is in her brown and pink polka dot suit. Cute!!

TAZ

Here it is...

This is the picture Dave and Mike created this year at the chalk art.



I think these guys are incredible (Of course I am a little biased since I think Dave is the most wonderful man out there).

Here are some more shots while they are working hard at creating the picture.


I am sad the colors do not show up in the picture as vibrant as they do in real life. The other drawings down the street are also amazing. If you have not had the chance to go you should next year. They have lots of fun things for the kids to do as well as all the art.

Good times!!!

Too cute!

Ok, I know I should have posted this long ago, so here you are.
For those who have not yet heard. Its a Girl! Isn't she cute!

Update

Dave's last MRI showed the tumor to still be growing even though he is on Chemo. This is not what anyone wants to happen so he has been changed to a different course of chemo. We will let you know how that goes.

CRAP!!!

We got the results of Dave's MRI yesterday and the scan showed some new growth. The doctors want Dave to start Chemo ASAP.

This is a little troubleing because usually after treatment Dave has at least a good year before we see new growth but this came back in 5 months. Dang!!

Let's pray the Chemo will do its job again.

We will keep you posted.

Surprise

Ok, It has been a very long time since I have posted anything. But I have a really good excuse. Lets just say I have been sick, sick, sick!!! All due to a little surprise our family will be expecting in October.

Yes, I am pregnant. Surprise!!! Believe me it was for us. After 8 years of doctors, needles, tears we were able to have Colton. What a blessing! We really thought that was it for us because we were not going to go through 8 more years of doctors, needles, tears in the small hope we could get pregnant again. We are very happy with the little bundle of energy we now have. Well somehow Colton must have kicked something into place while he was there, because without any outside help I am pregnant. I mean Dave and I were not even thinking about trying. This really did come out of the blue.

I did not believe it. I took about 6 pregnancy test before I would even call the doctor because I thought for sure they were wrong. Even after the first ultrasound at 6 weeks I was still skeptical. But at my last appointment at 10 weeks I had another ultrasound and there the baby was again. Little heartbeat and all. Wow. What a wonderful experience. I really am pregnant. I am almost 12 weeks and loving every minute of it.

I am also very sick. This baby is kicking my trash. But I couldn't be happier. I can be sick for a wonderful blessing like this.

Hopefully I will be able to post more often soon. This morning, noon and night sickness should end soon ( I hope).
