Dylan in the hospital

Last month was quite the month. We all took our turns having the stomach flu and were housebound for like 2 weeks. Poor little Dylan though couldn't fight it off so on day 7 of not keeping anything down, he had to go to the hospital to get hooked up to an IV for what we thought was a few hours- maybe overnight. It was so sad to see my baby hooked up to an IV and being treated like a pin cushion. He was such a trooper though. I was anticipating him being strapped down to a bed or something so an IV could stay in him. Instead it looked like a little cast 'cause they had to wrap it so much so he wouldn't play with it. Well, 2 nights later, he was finally able to go home. Now I am happy to report that even though he got down to 16.4 pounds, at his checkup yesterday he was 18.4! He eats so much food now- probably as much as Jaxon. Except for the whole not sleeping through the night still, we are doing well!

Dyan threw up on my clothes that I wore there. And since we were told to go straight from the doctors office to the hospital, I didn't have a chance to pack some, so they had to bring me some scrubs. Everyone would pause when they came in and were like, "Do you work here?" They were pretty comfy though until Mark could bring me my own clothes.

I'm glad you started a blog! I'm so glad Dylan is doing better. Your boys are SO cute. I can't believe how much Dylan has grown. We miss you guys & the ward like crazy. We should get together for playgroups again.

Oh, the memories. It helps to have pictures on this site. Except the snake one....I just got the shivers again. I need a little hands on assistance to get the picture thing down on my blog....I hate that word by the way. Let's call it a "hinge". It keeps us connected but going our separate ways. I love my little guys Jaxon and Dylan. They have some awesome parents that are doing a great job giving them life experience, learning, growing and making us laugh. Sure love you guys.

Happy Birthday Jaxon! I can't believe he's 4 years old already. Man how time flies and yet, it's hard to imagine our lives without him. He's getting so big! We are so proud of the little man he's becoming. Lucky boy got to have 4 birthday celebrations: a transformers combined birthday with Bobbi in Star Valley, a pirate birthday party with the Hirschi bunch, Arctic Circle playland with his friends today, and of course birthday morning with his, mom, dad, and Dylan. Tanner getting ready to battle Optimus Prime Jaxon's pinata candy (after round 1 of the leg getting knocked off) Bobbi whose birthday was celebrated as well loving the candy necklaces we added to her gift! She gives the best reactions! Jaxon carefully, slowly opening his gifts. He gave absolutely everyone there a hug as a thanks for the gifts. What a sweetie. Next birthday: my pirate ship cake I'm so proud of. Jax playing pirate games on the computer while waiting for the guests. Dylan our...

Merry Christmas! We are so thankful this time of year for all of our many blessings. Mark is thankful to have his MBA and to be done with school forever! He’s also thankful to be working for the church in the Planning Division as a Product Manager. Krista is thankful to be able to stay home with 3 rambunctious boys everyday. She enjoys serving in the Primary Presidency. She was also grateful to get away to Mexico with her hubby in May. Jaxon is 5 and thankful for preschool. He’s getting so smart especially with math J and is constantly trying to learn new things. He’s also thankful for sports, video games, and cutting things out. Dylan is almost 3 and thankful for life. He finds joy in the little things like going shopping, playing outside, and cuddling with mom. He cracks us up with his emerging vocabulary and is convinced his name is spelled DYU (like BYU)! Bradyn is 5 months and I think he is thankful for everything. He’s such a pleasant...
