Preschool fieldtrip

This is from Tytan's pre-k last year. This was his last field trip of the year. Shinning Stars Preschool went to a farm. Sad but true I totally don't remember the name of the farm. We all had a blast running a muck with the farm animals. Here are a few of our highlights. Paisley is in love with all animals but especially dogs. This poor nice dog got chased and "loved" on a little too much by this little girl. Here is a picture of Tytan's pre-k class. If you can't find Tytan look for the kid holding the chicken. Of course he insisted the chicken join the picture. Thats my boy! Paisley and cousin Presley. Tytan was lucky enough to have 2 of his cousins in his class. Tytan & Presley Pais holding a chicken and loving it. She is a girl after my own heart. Animal lover through and through. Presley with the chicken. Tytan and Ms. Chicken Hudson (cousin #2) Ridge, Presley & Rabbit. Growing up we had rabbits and our rabbits would NEVER sit perfectly still on a little table while child after child came around to pet it. My only guess is they must benadryl their rabbits. Pais again chasing that poor dog. Paisley Sue feeding the horse pellets. Ridge feeding the horse. Tytan & Mr. Horse Paisley wanted into the goat/sheep pen so badly. Checking out the sheep Ridge feeding the goat. Tytan Ridge & Paisley Tytan, Presley, & Hudson ran away from the group to go pet more horses. Paisley and cousin Graham We were able to watch this cow give birth. If you look closely you can see the placenta draped over the calf's neck and the mom chopping away on it....SICK. Ridge enjoying the hay ride. Tytan & friend running on the hay maze. Presley on the maze. I am slowly but surely trying to catch up on blogging. Only a couple more posts until I can get to our summer fun.

Easter

On your mark get set GO!! And they are off! I didn't get any pictures of the kids at our own Easter egg hunt or from Easter morning finding their Easter baskets, but here are a few from our ward hunt.Paisley enjoying the candy before it is out of its wrapper. Successfully ate all of the wrapper off. Now onto the good stuff...SUGAR. Tasting the plastic eggs. Gathering the eggs with cousin Carlie. All 3 of my munchkins enjoying their spoils. Ridge on the hunt for the perfect blue egg. Only three blue eggs? Here is my happy boy. Showing off his Easter basket. Tytan showing off his Scooby Doo basket. My boy has a love for all things Scooby right now. The Easter Bunny was so nice to bring him a Scooby basket this year. My baby being a complete filthly mess and loving every minute of it. Until next Easter! Wow I was only 3 1/5 months late posting this.

Surgeries

Yes the title of this post is surgeries...plural. But no not both of those surgeries were for Tytan. Thank goodness. He needed one break from a surgery right? First I had toe surgery in February then Tytan had his lazy eye surgery in April. We took turns helping the wounded. Tytan getting ready for surgery hanging out in the pre-surgery room.Playing games together and praying the wait isn't too long.One more close up of his eyes right before surgery.Close up of eyes about 36 hours after surgery. Even though only one of his eyes wandered they do surgery on both eyes so they can strengthen them both equally. How happy does he look here? He couldn't open his eyes for the first 24ish hours. They put these drops in his eyes they kinda glued his eyes closed for the first little while. He did not love that part of it. It has been about 8 weeks since his surgery and his eyes are still a little red. He has 2 straight eyes and no problems so far.I love the bruise above his eye. I can't even remember how that bruise got there.

**CAUTION THE PICTURES BELOW MAY BE DISTURBING TO SOME VIEWERS. Ok onto surgery #2. I had broken several of my toes when I was younger and never had them fixed. As I have gotten older they began to look super "precious" and caused pain where the bones started to rub together. (I know too much info.) Any who I went to see the foot doctor and he said surgery right away. So 1 week after seeing the doc. I was in for surgery. Truthfully it really wasn't painful at all, just annoying...I had to wear a boot for 8 weeks. I was not allowed to remove it for anything. Sleep..with the boot. Baths only... no showers. The bath was the kind with the foot dangling over the side. The first day I could shower and wash my hair standing up was the greatest day ever... These pictures were both taken in the doctors office 1 week after surgery. I don't know how many stitches I had but it sure looked like a lot. It has been 3 months since surgery and my toes are still a little swollen but look waaay better and no more pain.

To straighten my toes they took out a nuckle out of my 2nd & third toes. Then on toes 4 & 5 they put rods in them.

Birthday festivities

A few days before our big girl's day we had cousins, aunts, uncles, and grandparents from my side of the family over at my parents house. My dad's birthday is 2 days before Paisley's so we celebrated the two special people on the same day. We had dinner then a Giant pink cupcake for dessert. I wanted to know your vote. Who does she look more like? Momma or daddy?

A few cousins gathered around ready for Paisley to blow out the candles then eat some cake. Up close of her cupcake. The boys insisted on helping decorate. Not perfect but still tastes the same. De-lish!! On her actual Birthday we celebrated at home. Here she is enjoying round 2 of cupcakes. I don't think she is complaining.

If you had to guess if she loves her new baby and stroller what would you say? If you said YES you got it right.

O' BABY SHE IS 1

I feel so blessed to have a little princess. She is such a sweet girl. I love the amazing spirit that she brings into our home. We all adore this little girl. We love to see her smiling face first thing in the morning. My 10 favorite things about my 1 year old girl.

1. Her contagious laugh

2. Her hugs

3. Her open mouth/slobbery kisses

4. her little voice, her vocabulary is taking off like crazy

5. when she runs to me with open arms saying mama

6. how much she loves playing with her brothers

7. how she is 50% girly 50% tuff

8. her sparkly light blue eyes & white hair

9. how she is not afraid of animals

I feel like I can list a million more things. When I think of my Paisley girl I can't help but smile. She really does bring so much happiness to us.

Paisley crawled at 5 1/2 months; walked at 10 months; first words mama, dada, dog, ty ty, blankie. Her favorite brakfast is eggs and blueberries I HEART LITTLE GIRL SHOES. They are even better in animal print. (Thanks Jenn) Paisley's Bff is her blankie

She is my first baby to be a thumb sucker. Good or bad thing? I haven't decided yet. Next post will be her Birthday party. Hopefully sooner than later.
