Tyler's 1st Game of the Season

Saturday was Tyler's first babseball game of the season. This was his first year to wear the full uniform and also the first to actually keep score. Although I was excited for this new chapter I do miss the days of tee-ball, which I must say is very entertaining. No one keeps score and everyone gets to be up to bat until thy hit, it's a reaally fun experience. Kurtis and I obviously just want him to have fun in sports with no expectations, so I was hesitant to put him in machine pitch where everything was going to change. I must say that Tyler really embraced this new challenge and I am proud of him for putting in so much effort to practice and do his best. He has had a rough couple of months with moving and leaving his friends behind so this has been such a wonderful thing for him. It was rainy and cold, but still a lot of fun and his team won so he was really excited about that. He is growing up!!!

Jackson- The Sequel

I have no "wonderful" news to give on the status of Jackson except for the fact that we are being referred to a Pulmonary Specialist at Primary Children's. This has been a long road in such a short amount of time with Jackson already being hospitalized twice and recently having pneumonia with one infection after another. At 5 months old he recognizes a doctor or hospital setting and becomes very destraught, it is really sad. Hopefully from this we will get some answers. The specialist is going to test him for a number of things. We could not get an appointment until June 17th, so until then we will just have to wait and hope for the best. Within the next couple of weeks we will be heading to Primary Children's to have him screened for Cystic Fibrosis. The mere thought of that being the outcome keeps me awake at night worried for my sweet little baby. I am trying not to worry until there is something to worry about, but I am a mother,any mother would feel the same way if they knew their baby's life could be drastically shortened. Please keep him in your prayers. We are hopeful that it is not CF and that this will turn out to be a mild diagnosis. Once again I will keep you updated.

Here We Go Again

Well we found out today that Jackson has pneumonia. I had to take him up to the hospital to get picked on all day today, it was awful. None of the doctors can explain why he keeps getting sick so often. If he doesn't recover from this in a couple of days my pediatrician is going to refer us to a pulmonary specialist. I really hope we can figure this out, the poor baby can not get a break! It's hard to see him always struggling. Although he always carries such a happy demeanor, he is such a good baby. Well, I will keep you updated!

EASTER

The kids and I spent spring break in Monroe with My mom, Amanda, Darren, and Sara. We went to an Easter egg hunt at Wal-Mart on Thursday. Kaitlyn found one of the prize eggs and actually won a camera! She was so excited. We colored Easter eggs and had a little egg hunt at the park for the kids on Sunday. It was Nicholas' first official egg hunt. He was confused, but he had a lot of fun. We all had a good time and we were also able to get everything else moved out of the house. We closed Monday so that chapter is officially closed. I never want to sell another house again!! It was a bittersweet feeling, but I am glad to have it over with. We had a lot of fun memories in that house, but at the end of the day its just a house and we can take the memories with us! We are going to miss Monroe, and all our friends.
