Another Hernia Repair Surgery!

Last March 2012 Lilian had a Hernia Repair on her right side of her lower abdomen. Now seven months later, Connor had a Hernia Repair on his left side of his lower abdomen. Supposedly this is not genetic. It is just more common in premature babies and boys. I got both! It was a really crazy week. Connor turned 4 on Monday, his surgery was Thursday and Makenzie turned 1 the day after.


Connor reallly enjoyed his surprise box from Grandma Doyle. He loved playing with his new toys. It kept him occupied.

Here he is all dressed up and uncomfortable.

 

 

At this point he was druged up and much happier. They are taking him back for the surgery. Overall everything went well. He was sore for a few days afterwards but that is to be expected. We are grateful that overall he is a healthy little boy!

Much thanks to our good friend Jessica for watching our girls early in the morning! It was much appreciated.

Birthday Season!

On October 5, Jaron turned 30!! We had a huge party planned with friends and family. Until the flu came. Connor was first on Sunday, then Makenzie and Lilian followed on Wednesday. Jaron was sick Thursday and yes of course I had to wake up on Jarons birthday throwing up! Poor guy. His birthday was spent taking care of a sick wife and three kids. We did still have a party that night. Only Jarons parents, sister and our good friends the Sebastians were brave enough to come celebrate with us. 

Last Saturday, the YMCA hosted a 1mile race for the Canyon County Classic. We entered all three kids. We were impressed at how well the kids did. Lilian finished among the first few and Connor ran the whole way with me running along side with Makenzie. It was awesome! We were proud of our kids.

 

 

 

Jaron went and volunteered serving water to all the finishers. 

 

 

Connor turned 4 yesterday! He had a great day! Lots of presents and lots of fun! We started to day at the Doctors office. Connor is having a Hernia repair surgery on Thursday. Yes we just did this for Lilian this last March!  Then we came home and got ready for his birthday party. We had 9 little friends over to paint pumpkins and play on our new swing set. Later that afternoon we picked up dinner and he got his free ice cream from Baskin Robbins. We finished the day out with Dinner with uncle Owen, and cake and ice cream with Grandma and Grandpa and Aunt Mariah. What a fun day!

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Lilian turns 6!

Lilian turned six this week! She had a marvelous day! These pictures are of the kids playing on there new swing set. They think it is fun to take Makenzie up the slide.



This is what Makenzie thinks of that!

Lilian woke up to balloons and a yummy egg breakfast by dad! 

Jaron and I made a yummy GF Fairy cake.

 

Her favorite, her Rapunzel crown!!

I went and saw Lilian at school in the morning and had lunch with her. In the afternoon I took the kids back and took snacks for her class. They sang her happy birthday. We then took her friend Savanna, out of school and we all went to the movies! We met our friend Jessica and Ellie there. We had a blast watching Ice Age 4. Then we had swim lessons at 6. We came home and celebrated with cake and ice cream with Grandma and Grandpa Soren, Aunt Mariah, Uncle Owen, Uncle Arick and Aunt Janel. What a fun night! 

 

Here is my monkey! She prefers to climb on it then ride it. Go figure! 

 

 

 

Fall 2012 Kid Pictures!

This morning I took some fall photos of the kids! I am happy how they turned out. Makenzie was ready for a nap so she wasn't very cooperative, but I think she did well for an 11 month old.

 

This will be Lilian's Kindergarten photo. I chose not to order from the school.



She is 6 years old! She is an amazingly beautiful girl! Full of fun! 

Connor will be 4 in about 2 weeks! Look at those eyes! He is gorgeous and such a charmer! 

 

 

 This was the best I could get of my very active almost 1 year old!! 

 

Matching dresses, thanks Grandma Doyle. Lily has been wanting a matching outfit, so she was so excited today to dress alike. I love this photo, I am glad Makenzie has a big sister to look up to.
