Colton's Day

Colton's day didn't start out too well. Jackson met me at the doctor with him. He had to have blood drawn and a physical for some high blood pressure issues that have had him off of his meds for a few days. (It's been a treat) Everyone involved in that doctor visit was traumatized. Poor Colton walked out of the doctor's office shaking and sniffling from crying and talking to himself while he tried to get to the car. Then, he stood by the truck door and waited patiently for me to get him the gifts Uncle Ernie got for him. Then I sent my boys on their way while I drove back to work.

When I got home from work, Colton and Kaydon were on the living room floor playing with the Legos that Ernie got him. I ordered pizza (thanks coupons!) and we ate and then devoured the dessert that Braxton made over two days. (Unbelievably good!) We sang to him and he just smiled. He had mostly forgotten about his morning. Then he went back to playing with his Legos.

A little later, our bishop brought him a bag of M&Ms. He really is the best bishop a single mom of four boys could ask for.

We love you oh, so much Colton!

Specialist Appointment

Peanut is so over going to doctors! So is his mama. Yesterday, he and I went to the Urologist. Good times. Poor kid. Good news, though. The infection is gone and surgery is not needed right now. That just might be the best news we have had on anything in a VERY LONG TIME.

Hump Daaaaayyyyyy

This morning, Braxton and Kaydon came with me to drop Jackson off at school. Then, we had some time before their eye appointments so we went to Einstein Bagels so they could try the amazing strawberry banana smoothies. They are SO good, but you must request whipped cream. Why wouldn't you?? Anywho, then it was off to the eye doctor - which we couldn't find. We literally drove in circles for almost 30 minutes. I'm not very bright.

Once there, we signed in then my 13 and 14 year old boys proceeded to go into the little door and play with the Legos. I was not at all surprised. The others in the waiting room may or may not have been... I love my boys. Anywho, Braxton has great eye sight. Kaydon, not so much. Glasses are on their way. Hopefully he won't break this pair.

I informed the doctors and nurses we would be back on Friday. They may or may not have seemed excited about that. One down, one to go... then to the specialist for Braxton on Monday. Good times!
