Knox's surgery

Here Knox is Pre surgery.  He was freaking out, he was begging to go home.  I am assuming that the memory of tubes was still fresh in his mind.  The nurse came in and gave him a medicine that is part of the Valium family and in about 5 minutes the tears had subsided and a new relaxed Knox had appeared.  When the Dr. came in I voiced my concerns over the tonsil removal and together we decided not to do them today.  And hopefully we won't have to do them ever.  He doesn't have tonsillitis, or anything else wrong with the tonsils except for their gigantic size.  After the surgery Dr. Beus came in and said that his adenoids were huge and were blocking pretty much everything in his sinus passage to his throat.  So even with the swelling that will occur over the next couple of days he is still much better off than he was with the adenoids in.  Anyway- there was our run down.  Here are some pics from this morning.

So sad, he was terrified....
Ahhhh.....drugs
Yeah and happy again thanks to the drugs

Summer Fun !

Uhhh, this wasn't supposed to be the first pic, but I can't move. So here I am at just about 33 weeks.

Our sweet babies checking out some ground hogs in Wyoming...

Bandaid fun on the road trip

He was so excited to ride his Harley...it was in storage in TN and we brought it back to UT with us.

Slip n slide fun at my moms house...it was really hot and they loved playing in the water

So here we are again a month since my last post.  I have been in a blogging lull and it has been hard for me to get back at it.  So we finished our fun trip to Tennessee on the 25th of June.  We all really enjoyed our trip and the kids love their cousins so much.  I was glad that we were able to share the kiddos with the family. The kids were great on the 1,945 miles it took for us to drive home.  We did it over 3 days, and had fun seeing some new places.

 Presley is very perceptive, as are most children, but a little too much for comfort.  She asked my oldest sister one day ...mind you presley has very expresive body language, so she said this with her hands on her hips and her head tilted..."Aunt Stacy, you really look like you have a baby in your belly"...ya- shes not pregnant.  Then to my dads wife, Beth, who she has only visited with a handful of times...Beth came down stairs to visit and Presley immediately noted "I really like your slippers", and Beth said thank you...then Presley proceeded to say something to Beth and repeated it 3 times, Beth couldn't understand her so she looked at Bryan and asked "What is she saying" so Bryan looked at Presley and asked her what she was saying and Presley with hands on hips again "I said her teeth are a little bit yellow"...haha. So what cracks me up even more is that my sweet husband had to look at Beth and say "she said your teeth are a little bit yellow". Lovely I know.  But you never know what you are going to get when she starts talking.

Knox is our sweet boy.  He loves anything spiderman, motorcycle, or train.  He has decided that he wants to play baseball and anything is turned into a bat.  He is scheduled to have his tonsils and adenoids out this friday.  With the tubes we have still had 4 ear infections.  His tonsils are big enough that they are causing apnea, they are gigantic.  I am dreading the surgery, but hoping it will help him out a little.  He is talking so much 7 word sentences sometimes. I guess I shouldn't be surprised when he has a sister that won't stop talking.

Bryan is starting a new job on Monday.  He will be working for the power company doing AC repairs.  Sounds like it will be a good deal, pray for us that it will be.  I am 33 weeks along as of tuesday and ready to be done...only 4 more weeks until she is full term ! 6 more until the c-section date.  She is doing great.  We had a non stress test done this past week and she is doing super well for a baby as young as she is.  She is going to be a fiesty little one and we are anxious to meet her.  Well I hope you are all doing well and I know this blog didn't really say too much about what we have been up to the last month, but hey its something new.  Love to you all !
