Recovery

Tyler has been recovering pretty well. He eats soft foods just fine and we have to tell him to stop running around most days, We is really looking forward to the one week point he can start riding his bike and stuff (the rule follower remembers just what the doctor said). The hardest part is in the middle of the night, for some reason it seems to hurt a lot more then, We have tried waking him up to give him his meds before they wear off, but he really doesnt even like that. It seems to be getting better little by little every day though. Hopefully in another few days it will all be behind us.

Greeley Trip

Tyler seemed to be feeling ok, so to celebrate our 10 year anniversary we headed up to Greeley. We pretty much just drove around and showed the kids the DDI and went to Glenmere Park, where Justin proposed. Tyler really didn't want to play or anything, but he hung in there. It was very nice to reminiscence and see all our old favorite spots and where it all began.

10 years

Justin and I celebrated our 10 year anniversary. Because of Tyler's surgery the day before we really didn't do anything. However I am so blessed to have him as my husband and the father of our children. We have been through a lot these past ten years, but they have been the best ten years of my life. I love you Justin.

Surgery

Surgery day came. Tyler did pretty well not eating or drinking anything all morning. His wasnt until later because he was an older kid. When we got there he was acting fine just a little nervous. He kept his bear with him the entire time. When it was time to go back, he requested his medicine smell like root bear. We didn't really squirm or anything, just went right to sleep. In about 30 minutes it was over and I was brought back to his room. I was told everything went just great. We didn't want to watch a movie or anything and i could tell he was uncomfortable. He kept saying his tummy hurt. He did eventually get sick, but after that he was much better. He got to drink a lot of juice, eat some popsicles and some jello. He pretty much slept the whole way home, but he seemed to be doing just great When we got home we actually had to tell him to settle down some. He was very excited to get to eat ice cream all week! We are very happy the surgery went well and praying for an easy recovery.

Aurora Reservoir

Ben and Rachel Kask and their two boys were in town from South Korea, so us and the Roses met up at the Aurora Reservoir. The kids all loved it They loved playing on the beach and in the water. There was a shallow end which was great for the kids. We ended up bbqing and staying quite a bit of time. It was so much fun catching up with everyone as well. I think we will come back many times at it was so fun!

Pool Time

The Hancocks came up from the Springs to play with us for the day, We hit up the pool at Southridge, which I hadn't taken all 4 by myself to yet, but the kids still did great. The older boys can do the lazy river and everything by themselves, and the babies did a great job staying with me. The kids seemed to have a ton of fun and we stayed loner than usual. Olivia even fell asleep in my arms IN the pool. I was amazed. The Hancocks stayed and swam even more after we left, but it was great to catch up.

Vbs

I was looking for a VBS to put the boys into this summer. I found one at a local church that looked like a lot of fun, Everyday they were told to wear swimsuits or clothes that they could get messy. It was also a nighttime, which made a nice break for Justin and I. The boys seemed to love it. They played a lot of loud music and danced around, which Carter didn't love, but once they were outside they liked it a lot. One day they had bounce houses, they had water fights, they had mashes potato fights, a ton of fun stuff. On the last night it was a family night with a bbq. We got to listen to all the songs and everything they had been learning and then go to play in bounce houses and on the playground. All 4 kids loved that. A fun week for sure.
