Loved how they turned out!

Happy Birthday Triston!

-

Triston's Birthday was the day before Halloween. So we decided to go down to the valley for the weekend and take Triston to Build a Bear and the kids trick or treating in the warmer weather. We had his party at the park. Triston's guests included Aunts, and Uncle, Cousins and his friend Addie. He had a great time and thank you for all the gifts he loves every last one of them like they are his favorite.

Characater Pictures

This is a character picture that was done of Triston when he was 15 months old, and I wanted one of oliver. So my good sister Jennifer was going to Disney Land and offered to take a picture of him to the character Artist and have one done. I am so excited to see how it will come out.

This was the picture I sent of Ollie Joker. He is doing really well and hopefully he will continue to do so.

Blue Moon

Today I took a look at myself in the mirror,and well to be perfectly honest I did not like what I saw. You know it may seem real trivial but it can be really hard to go about every day in a positive way while trying to endure your post pregnancy phase. Believe me I know there are way more important things in life than trying to get those pre pregnancy jeans past your thighs but I also believe it is healthy to take a pitty party day once in a blue moon. So today I declare it a "Blue Moon". First goal for today? I will try to get motivated to go and buy myself some jeans that actually fit. My other goal for Today is to try and endure being a mother of three, and enjoy the goodness that comes from that. I need to re-realize that in all actuality I look pretty good for having my third baby only 7? 8? weeks ago. Tomorrow will be better it is going to be a positive day! I know that because a "Blue Moon" only sticks around for "1" day;)

Periorbital Cellulitus

About a month ago Oliver took a fall down our deck stairs. In the process he knocked his front two teeth lose and broke one right down the middle. Luckily Dr. Badger was kind enough to take part of his Saturday to open up his office so we could get our little man in. He did a filling on the broken tooth and said that the teeth should harden up in just a couple days, he could not tell us for sure if the teeth would end up dying or not so we just decided to play it by ear. about a month later Without us knowing things took a turn for the worst and the right side of Oliver's face began to swell. We took him to our Doctor and he just told us he had an ear infection and he was not concerned about the swelling, but when his gums exploded old blood and he progressively began to get worse we went for a second opinion. So back to Badgers office we went. Needless to say Oliver got his tooth pulled, but just the one for now. So a day or two has passed sense he got his tooth pulled and the swelling did not get any better so we decided I would go ahead and switch doctors and start going to Dr. Barela, being as our old doctor really didn't seem to give a hoot about our kids so we moved on to a Pediatrician instead of a family practitioner. Dr. Barela was VERY concerned and diagnosed Oliver with Periorbital cellulitus, which was caused by the infected teeth. The Antibiotics we were giving him were not working so back to Dr. Barela. Again he was not happy about his face and decided that I needed to bring him in every day for a shot of strong Antibiotics and If that did not work we would be checking him in to the hospital. Today however we made progress, he seemed to think his eye got better over the last couple of days so he said I could just continue bringing him in to the office until it cleared up. Oliver is not out of the woods yet but, This infection is not to be taken lightly, it can cause brain damage or even death when not taken care of properly. Lucky for us things are looking up and we are hoping for the best. Regardless if he looks a tad like a hobo or slightly on the verge of becoming a jack-o-lantern we love him very much and could not possibly imagine him not being a part of this family. He has such a great personality and everyone in this family thrives on that.

The Chicken coupe! This is Triston's Favorite part, the chickens.

Finally we took a gander at Mary's Garden. It was beautiful . I wish I would have been able to plant a garden. There are very few things as gratifying as planting something and being able to witness the bounty of it.
