First Swim!

Tavan went swimming for the first time today! my friend that i work with (Dara) invited me and Tavan to go after she got off work...so Harley (Daras boy) and Tavan went on a swimming date. Tavan enjoyed it...he splashed away in the pool and was squealing the whole time it was cute. Harley was tired so he just sat and sucked on his hands...Tavan kept looking at him with eyes that were saying..."Harley come play with me" it was cute.

my little angel!!

loves his cousin Olivia!

Tavan has another double ear infection :( Ricky and I are beginning to worry because we are very careful around tavans ears and are wondering if he might need tubes. good thing he is so worth them if he needs them! Tavan is still amazing Dr. Kwak with his weight gain and Dr. is loving it! he says we are doing great and that he is very impressed with our watchfulness and care for Tavan. On the 14th if Tavans ear infection is gone he will get his shots as well as his blood-work re-drawn to double check his levels and make sure that they have returned to a normal level! we are excited to see if they have returned to normal but are not so excited to go see Tavans buddies in Lab. In Olivia news...we are working on potty training her....we have yet to use the toilet....she holds it until we put a diaper on her for naps and nighttime....help????? how can we get her to go in the toilet????

Tavan i got the opportunity to go to Oregon to help take care of my grandma after she had her cataract surgery. Tavan and I flew over with my mom, christy, olivia and mya...it was a crowded plane with tons of kids...so i was glad mine wasn't the only fussy one! Oregon was beautiful!!!! we had a chance to go to Roseburg to see my moms aunt hazel and grandmas surgery was on Thursday morning. she did AWESOME! on Sunday my mom flew home and left Tavan and I with grandma....While in Oregon we got the news that my uncle chuck was in the hospital with acute pancreatitis and at the moment is in a medically induced coma....things are kinda scary for him right now but we have been praying away! on a more happy note on my way home i got to take my adorable neice Olivia home with me...she will be with us for awhile and we are so excited!!! she is adorable! Ricky and i love her to pieces! the 3 of us flew home. haha yes traveling by myself with 2 kids under was a challenge but my airport boyfriend helped me! hahah (he was this gangster/homeboy looking kid who offered to help me with the carseat and stroller...he helped me on the plane and off...such a sweet guy)
